Is there a way to make my hubs roll faster?

New bearings. Ceramic bearings (sometimes) help. If you buy new bearings you could pop them open and throw a little oil in there, but this will make them not last as long.

If you want faster rolling wheel get a tire with less rolling resistance.

Yes, you will feel no difference with a ceramic bearing.
Or run more air pressure

I prefer lower air pressure.
It cushions the hard landings from knee high ledges and flat rails.
I'm sure you know the struggle.

I just get a real kick out of busting your balls because the initial vibe that you gave off was Timmy ToughNuts.

Run some white lithium in your bearings because it's like diluted and it really helps the bearings spin quicker. And you can lube the shit out of your ratchet ring, driver, driver-o-ring, etc. Apart from that, that's really about all you can do. My Gsport Ratchet hub shell bearings were huge, but they spun for days, never maintained for literally 4-5 months.

What does that mean? I live in an area where I can safely manage my bike. Even if there was snow, humidity, etc. I'd expect almost the same.
