I've heard so many different things about Sector 9's butterballs, that they cone in under two hours, that they can last a decent amount of time, etc. Needless to say I was crazy stoked to have a set show up at my door last week. Thanks Sector 9!
I was really excited to try them out, "will this be a wheel that little 110 pound me can wear?". After all initial questions bounced through my head, I finally got the wheels set up on my board.
They are round... Nice!
Hey! My bearing match my wheels... Sweet!
Now off to Barrie for the slide jam with some new wheels to shred
My first run was pretty much a straight bomb, the wheels accelerated very nicely and were smooth. Time to slide!
My first one was a nice long one-handed toe side, I was amazed by how they had the perfect amount of grip and drift right off the hop. Throughout the day it was nothing but predictable and easily controlled slides. Full of stoke, day one was over and with minimal coning I was ready for road trip number two!
FRENCH CONNECTION!!!!!!!!
It was a hot day... and I mean hot!
I was the first one geared up and ready to take on the hill. What can I say, I was excited to try out the wheels again!
My first run down the hill was full of super fast acceleration, my first slide was insane. PURE butter with a hint of ice, but 100% controllable. I had a blast rippin these wheels for the duration of our stay at that hill. Now I'm just learning standies, my first week to be exact. Out of every wheel in my quiver these are the ones I'm most comfortable attempting them on. I feel safer, not like they are going to ice out on me like other wheels. I had no problem attempting heel-side checks and was feeling more confident every run I took. By the end of the day I was totally thrilled with my progression!
Overall, I've had a blast on my Sector 9 Butterballs and will continue to do so until there is nothing left, but cores. At the rate that's going i'm thinking that'll be another month.
