it feels so much better to skate when you're not trying to balance precariously on little tiny baby wheels, where even a speck of dust will send you flying.

This. Big wheels are heavier and worse for slide tricks. Also, stop making threads that could have been a post in /esg/

to the kids these days, anything over 54mm is considered too big.

Among other things (wheelbite, heavy, etc...) I find big wheels have too much lateral traction to do anything difficult. You land weird and they stop all horizontal motion completely instead of sliding a little
But everyone who actually skateboards to get around has two sets of wheels. If you are skating miles on 100a 50mm wheels your city either has perfect asphalt or you are mentally retarded.

Mostly 60mm slimeballs or oj's.
It does make some things harder but I love the amount of speed you can sustain on big wheels. Plus they just look cooler.

>to the kids these days
trends on this have swung back and forth a couple times. the desirable wheel diameter when i was a kid in the 90s was around 40mm. just completely ridiculous for anything other than pristine smooth skateparks.
