In early 2005, we developed this shape to roll through turns faster without compromising grip. Taller and thinner than the Avalon, the Hot Spot features a slightly squared lip that bevels inward at a small angle. It's a perfect complement to your race box and an outstanding choice for all-purpose longboarding, cruising and Old School styling.Says one prominent industry member, "speed AND grip are outstanding... The Hot Spots allow for faster cornering with no loss of traction... far more secure under (hard) cornering (no drifting)... I normally run 75A -78A wheels to keep grip/traction high, but some of that grip comes at the expense of speed. Not so with the Hot Spots. You really nailed it... The best blend of speed and traction available!"Clear Orange - 69mm/78a or 66mm/79a or 63mm/80aClear Blue - 69mm/81a or 66mm/82a or 63mm/84aPurple - 69mm/84a or 66mm/85a or 63mm88aSmoke - 69mm/87a or 66mm/88a or 63mm/92a
