I have never tried the maxxis hookworm but I hear its really good. I have the luna and its okay, but it folds quite a bit, and also the tread has worn off almost completely. BALD as a CUEBALL!

Ok, first of all, if you have a luna on there now then its a 19" rim and you can't put a normal 20" tire on it like a hookworm.

Oh, then if you are doing freestyle get the hookworm, you can still hop a little on it but not as easily.

i have the luna on my uni and its excelent...i love it...the sidewalls are nice and strong and the tread is very grippy.... plus the hookworm is very small you probly wont be able to get a good enough bouce for some tricks unless you get the 26"hookworm (26x2.5)
