The surface of a skatepark is so much smoother than the street, so you don’t need as big or soft of a wheel to roll over the cracks, but you still want good grip and a fast roll speed!
The 90a durometer rolls much faster than softer urethane on the smooth concrete, and the thinner lip profile gives the lip a little bit of flex, which further increases grip.
The small rounded edge on the lip preserves the side shape for smooth grinds and other coping tricks where the wheel needs to slide without hanging up. It’s harder and smaller than the standard road wheels so you roll faster on the smooth skatepark surface, and the lower height adds stability and control
while adding pop to your ollies.
