Abec 11 Flashbacks are probably one of the best all-around, affordable wheels on the market right now. The offset core gives you some increased leverage on the slide, the urethane wears very consistently (unless you jam your weight down on a slide and absolutely tear up a wheel, which can be done with almost any type of soft wheels these days), and the slide itself is extremely predictable and smooth.

The main complaint about these wheels is that they tend to wear fairly quickly, and you can usually core them within two to three long sliding sessions if you're a top rider who can handle high speed slides. This is entirely true, but also largely dependent on your skill level and the type of pavement your working with. I don't consider myself an incredible freerider, but when I do get into a nice groove and start locking down my slides I can visibly see the wear from one slide to the next. This isn't a major disadvantage because the quality of the wheel is exceptional and the price does help a lot.

I've only ridden the 78a because I absolutely love the duro and haven't found a need to try anything else yet. I'm sure at some point I'll go for a harder duro to see how the wear/slide compares, but for now I am very content with these wheels. Beginners looking for a wheel to introduce them to locked-out slides should try these. Intermediate riders looking to find a new wheel to fall in love with should try these. Anyone else, give them a shot and you won't be disappointed, and even if they wear down super quick you'll be so happy with the performance that you'll buy another set right away.

great wheels to freeride/slopestyle on. they slide so nice. even then, they still have some nice grip in them. last for a decent amount of time, but the good news is that the are quite inexpensive. great for almost everything (dancing, sliding, carving, etc). looking for the best bang for your buck? look no further.

A lot of wheel companies are trying to get the best all around wheel. One that can slide 100 feet and still grip the hairpin after. The flashbacks are just that. The sideset core makes sliding so easy and fun. I would definitely recommend these to friends.

sick sick sick! big fan of these. Grips but slides smooth. I wish the contact patch was a bit wider tho....

Can you say cheap 40$ you will have a hard time finding cheaper for how great these wheels are, The slid of these wheels is awesome lots of control and line LINES they leave them everywhere stand up slides whatever slide your doing wow These wheels last awhile for the first 10mm about and then they loose all of it fast. the color Green looks cool.
