Durham

The Bull City

Durham is one of the oldest cities in North Carolina, and the headquarters of Compass. The historic Tobacco Trail, once transporting coal to the tobacco factories downtown, is now one of the most scenic skating trails in the state. The skate park at Central Park is one of the more progressively designed spots with a more urban feel.

The Durham wheel is perfect for use in Aggressive big wheel setups, whether you’re skating flat 72 or a flat rocker of 72/60. The mixture of the softer 85a urethane and large hub provides the perfect balance of grip and slide, with a rounded profile designed to compliment any 60mm Aggressive wheel.
