Vintage Higgs Boson black 48mm/100A

a set of the popular Mindgame Higgs Boson wheels. They are slightly used but still in very good condition.

The Higgs Boson wheel isn't really a wheel. It isn't even designed to roll on; it's designed to grind with. As any anti-rocker skater knows, round wheels quickly become flat. Similar to pre-grooved frames, the Higgs Boson's flats are intended to give you a better foundation and a more reliable plane to grind on. The seven point wheel offers a total of fourteen flats to lay upon whatever surface you want to slide. Additionally, these multiple surfaces ensure that you're not stuck wearing down the same part of the wheel every time you grind. If by chance the Higgs Boson makes contact with a surface in a manner which requires it to roll, we have left the perimeter with a 5mm width so that it can still facilitate forward motion*.

Anti-rocker skating isn't for everyone, and the Higgs Boson certainly isn't for everyone. But we love it. And we feel it satisfies a need that has been ignored for too long.

*WARNING- THE HIGGS BOSON IS NOT A TRADITIONAL INLINE-SKATING WHEEL. THE SHAPE AND URETHANE ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR ROLLING. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
