Chicks in Bowls (CIB) is a US organisation founded in 2012 by Samara Pepperell, aka Lady Trample, whose main goal is to encourage skaters to lace up their skates, hit the skateparks and try something new. With Samara’s involvement in this new skating discipline and the wheel making knowledge from past work with Reckless Wheels, they have produced a new line of specialist wheels which will help you to shred, slide and grind to your heart’s content.
The Chicks in Bowls crew have drawn on their shared experiences of park, ramp and street skating to design a unique wheel range that takes from the best of artistic, derby skating and skateboarding, combining their design with a special formula that minimises your chance of flat spots.
Quote from Lady Trample herself about the Park Wheels – “I don’t think I should have a favourite. But I do and it’s this wheel! The park wheel is competent on any surface. It maintains speed so well and it’s not too slick. You will gain traction when you need it and it’s not so hard a wheel that it feels slippy. Pumping feels good on this wheel up to about 6 foot (1.8meter)…anything over and you will feel the thigh burn. At Rollercon lots of people asked me “which is the best wheel to start park skating”? This one. It’s this wheel that will get you confident in the park.”
