Les Robertson, Mischa Chandler and Dave Helmer are comin’ at you with a less-than-serious edit of some more-than-serious skating action for Rayne Longboards’ new Envy wheels. A particularly interesting observation to be had regarding this new wheel is that it’s being offered in two durometers on the far ends of the spectrum for acceptable skateboard action. At one end, you’ve got 80a — a very common hardness for hillboarders and cruisecarvers. At the other, you’ll see a 98a option for anyone interested in a wheel that will last longer and slide more easily at lower speeds. We’re lookin’ at you, flipstickers. It’s also worth noting that the wheel measures in at 62mm. Sure, that may not provide the longest wheel life on the planet, but it will make for some decent clearance to help you keep it loose. We’re stoked to see a premiere downhill brand providing some urethane for the more technical members of the slopeboarding community. Perhaps we’ll even see some rad hardwheel edits on these puppies in the near future? We can only hope.
