Hey, just wondering, if you own a board and use it frequently, but not everyday at the skatepark, how long do you expect your wheels to last before you have to buy new ones. A month, 6 months, years?
Holler! |

Depends how often you skate, for me 3 months or so and I skate twice a week, maybe? No vert, just street and flatland. Freeze them though, like Ryan Shecker does... it works.
I use Girl wheels.  |

in a park they will last 6 months easy. On the street .. probably around 3-4 months.
Depends how rough you are with them .. you land on skateboard wheels a lot more than you do on Heelys wheels. |

| I've had my wheels since january and i would say they're still good. I only use my board to go from my house to my grandmas house occasionally and whenever the mood strikes to try some tricks. Bearings however are a different story. Those broke within a week. |
