Long time man!
I don't have any experience but I know there are a ton of freestyle skaters who used roller skate wheels when freestyle wheels weren't available. I read that Yo Yo Shulz used Italian Roll Line roller skate wheels due to their similarities to the original Bones Freestyle wheels.
It kind of gets me though that Powell and Peralta will reissue the Mullen and Kevin Harris freestyle boards and whatever other boards from the late 80s/early 90s but won't reissue the wheels. Especially since when street skaters started going for the smaller wheel thing skaters like Ray Barbee were skating the Bones Freestyle wheels on their street set ups.
