He happened to pick a blue one which usually signifies that it is in front of a fire hydrant - the red curb behind affirms this

I have never in my life seen a single thing that looks like thatā¦closest Iāve seen are plastic squares they put in the middle of a brand new street while its waiting to get a painted line
Edit: still dont get what theyāre for? I get they reflect light. But to who and for what?
Those are all over around here. They reflect headlamp light at night in the rain so you can see the lane boundries in the roadway. Ours have steel snowplow guards on the sides though, or theyād be gone the first winter.

They go in the centers of lanes, if you accidentally drive the wrong way on a road they reflect a TON of light back, if you are driving the right way, the reflect enough to see the line better.

For bigger roads, we have a median. Itās extremely rough road about a foot and a half in width where if you start to roll on it, your entire car starts to vibrate.

Yeah we have those too, the sleep stoppers (rumble strips) on the right side, not as common. Medians are common too, either marked with yellow or a raised curb section. Nevertheless people still manage to not know how to drive
I canāt imagine how it would feel to ride a board over a rumble strip lol
It feels like going on gravel with 70mm thane

I think it also has a lot to do with momentum/spinning mass and contact patch size.
I love Caguamas for eskate. I also like the kegel wheel for smaller boards.

Did you ever try grippins? Those were narrow at the core, super narrow mid way up, and curved out to a wide contact patch. Almost like an S shape turned 45 degrees counterclockwise. Center set, hard lips. They are slalom wheelsā¦ Damn did those GRIP. The narrow thane at the core allowed them to flex and grip full contact patch no matter how hard you carve. When they broke free they BROKE freeā¦ No gentle slide out. Off topic.
But what comes after that?

I think you made a mistake early on by not properly assessing your needs and terrain before choosing components. Adding the lack of experience with urethane only compounds your bad experience with the 110ās as well. It sucks that you spent all that time and money with the end result being subpar to your expectations. I feel for you man, mistakes like these are hard to get past.
At this point Iād say you have two choices. Start the process to convert to pneumatic or Stick with the 110ās and either adjust your route or get comfortable with falling once in a while.

Where do you live? Road conditions?
Agreed, the wider the better. Also depth from core to street is a metric that matters as well. These wheels have the highest core-to-street 'thane depth on the market.
