Nicole Begg Interview: Mundo Patin has an interview with Nicole Begg- it is in Spanish, so if you can’t read Spanish, this is a good time to learn. Or you can take a short-cut and translate it here. About 110mm wheels, she says ‘Pienso que para algunos patinadores serán realmente buenas, y que los resultados se verán con el tiempo a los patinadores que las hayan entrenado con ellas. Yo considero que para ir bien con ellas, tienes que entrenar mucho tiempo con 110mm y ajustar el estilo y la técnica para conseguir los resultados esperados‘.
