My local indoor bowl is super slippery. Talked with the people running the park and they told me the builders treated it with an outdoor finish. He said it was a real issue, they'd tried to fix to no avail.

I skated with 103a 55mm bones wheels and slipped out a couple of times and got some whip lash in the process. I'm wonder if I need to switch out wheels to learn to skate this park at least a little bit more safely. Considering getting some wide 58mm wheels that are a bit softer.

Tricks are not really a concern right now. I just need to learn to carve and do some slash grinds.

What are your recommendations?

Edit: I ended up getting some 97a 58mm spitfire full conical. Since people mentioned dust, I did some research and decided to go with as much surface area as possible and a bit softer. I was tempted to get the dragons, but the ones I could get my hands on were pretty narrow, so I thought it would be better to go with the full conicals.

Today the city was spraying down every obstacle at my local park with a pressure hose. They left everything wet (not a big problem) and an sprayed a bunch of debris into the park leaving half of it unskatable until someone brings a broom to sweep it up. This seems completely pointless especially since they left everything in much worse condition. Just wanted to ask if spraying down concrete/metal curbs, ledges and manny pads is actually something that needs to be done. If not I'm gonna complain to the city and ask them to sweep the park instead of spraying it down.
