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!
Carver Roundhouse Park wheels rock a 95a durometer that rolls much faster than soft urethane on a smooth concrete, and their thinner lip profile gives the edge 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 profile adds stability and control
while adding pop to your ollies.
