Gear She Loves: Smith Scabs "They are super comfortable and cover more than, say, Triple 8's do. That, and when you fall you don't feel a thing. The other thing is some padding feels stiff but scabs feel like they belong on you. Cheesy but true."
G-Rods "I love G Rods because they are still wide like the typical derby wheel, but are good jammer wheels and the durometer is perfect for normal to slippier suraces and for a jammer doesn't want a thinner profile its a good wide wheel that is still helpful with agility."
