     My Recommendation: For the best all-round rollerhockey wheel, go with the Rink Rat Hot Shots. They did the best in almost all experiments, and were never really bad like some of the other wheels. Rink Rat Hot Shots allow you to have maximum speed, quick stops, and very tight turns. After using these wheels for a few games, my parents asked me if I felt like I was going faster because it sure looked like that from the stands.
     The Skate: I found that in this competition you did best in whatever wheels you had used the most and were more comfortable in. Times in this experiment were close and didn't jump all over the place.
     The Turn: After reviewing results and watching some footage of this experiment, I decided that the Rink Rat Hot Shots allowed you to make tighter, and quicker turns.
     The Stop: By looking at the results I decided that the Rink Rat Hot Shots were the best all-round stopping skate. I also found out that the Red Star wheels are very good for speedy stops. However, your not always going fast. So Rink Rats Hot Shots are the best choice.
     The Glide: This experiment was dominated by the Rink Rat Hot Shots. They allowed you to glide 5/6th of the length of the rink while the other two wheels barely helped you go by half. Rink Rat wheels were also the most consistent in same gliding distance.
     The Snowplow: The snowplow was the hardest experiment to choose which wheel was best. Each wheel tended to do very good in one or two runs, but really bad in another. Each run you could always stop by a certain point, but control was a major issue.After doing some averages I have determined that the Rink Rat Hot Shots are the most reliable in this situation.
