Guide Review - Lozin Copers
Besides being environmentally friendly, copers also make sliding and grinding easier. The roughest curb is no problem, and the ride is smooth. If you don't grind much, copers are a perfect way to learn and improve, and if you already do lots of sliding and grinding, copers actually increase your distance 2 to 3 times!
So, drawbacks? Well, copers are low and do get caught on rocks and other debris on the road - this isn't a problem is you skate in parks, but if you ride the streets, you'll want to take them off. But that's not really a problem. Lozin Copers are designed to be able to be taken off and put back on easily. A second drawback is that the copers do wear through quickly, but that's important for smooth grinds.
Lozin copers are an old idea that makes sense to revive. You may have a hard time shelling out the cash for something that you're going to grind away, but copers both lengthen the life of your trucks and lengthen the distance of your grinds and slides! Try out a pair of Lozin copers and see what you think.
