Overview

Slimeballs are back! Santa Cruz found the original mold, the urethane formula, the "warpaint" graphic, the logo and the trademark. Same as it ever was in the original wheel shape and formula made in the 1980s.

The 97a Slimeball Vomits formula blend is poured in a reversible dead center bearing and no flex edge radius lip design, resulting in the fastest on command slide-able, slip-to-grip ratio wheel available. No chipping, no coning, no bearing seat stretch, no softening and no speed loss.

The perfect wheels

Santa Cruz Slime Balls Vomits Re-Issue Skateboard Wheels - orange (97a)
These wheels are good for rough and rugged roads. Roll over cracks, debris and little pebbles. They have the perfect grip and are easy to slide. Perfect wheels that can take abuse.

Classics!

Santa Cruz Slime Balls Vomits Re-Issue Skateboard Wheels - blue/green swirl (97a)
Hard enough to ride in a park, soft enough to make it over semi-rough ground. All around classic!

Wheels have been great so far on the ramp. Have not ridden them on the street though. Would order again.

Santa Cruz SlimeBall Vomits Re-Issue Skateboard Wheels
Had more than one set of these back in the good old days, was ecstatic to be able to get them again. Hands down the best skate park wheel ever made. Get yourself some for your favorite ride, you will not be let down.

Asked by Y on 6/13/2018
What’s the smallest riser you can get away with on 169 Indy’s?
Answered by Graig A (Tactics Employee) on 6/13/2018
You can use a 1/8'' if you'd like but it is still going to be cutting it close and going with a 1/4'' would give you much better clearance.
