Undercover Wheel Review

I received my Undercover Ricardo Lino wheels in the mail about 3 months ago, I will still in school so I didn’t get a chance to skate them much at first. When I first put them on my skates I found that they rolled well and had just the right amount of grip I needed to skate street, when skating a concrete park there was a 2 or 3 trick transition to get used to, but slipping out never became an issue. Seeing as they are 55MM/90A the transition from street to park wasn’t a big deal as these wheels are geared toward street skating and thats what I used them for most.

The durability of the wheels is what impressed. I have skated many wheels on the market and I have heard all the rumors of colored urethane being a weaker bond and not holding up to well, I can personally say that this was not an issue with my wheels. I skated nearly every day for 2 months and did not rotate my wheels and never had a problem. I never had any major chunking or flat spots, and the only reason I took them off my skates was because they were smaller then my anti-rockers.

In my opinion these are great street skating wheels with durability to handle even the roughest terrain. When it comes to park I could have used a bit more grip, but I knew what I was buying and what I was going to use them for. Overall, I think the wheels were some of the best wheels I have ridden and will be a returning customers to Undercover wheels.
