It's crazy that nobody thought about using softer wheels and stuck with those clay throwbacks. Like, nobody took a rip off a joint in the 70's, looked at their car, then looked at their skateboard and thought about using a softer alternative to the clay wheel 😂
My friend Glenn always talked about Cadillac wheels. He won some skateboarding championship in California in like 1964, but was an old drifter when I met him. He'd be 74 years old, but died in 2021. In his 50's he could still do multiple 360's drunk off his ass on a modern board in combat boots, haha.
I’m skating a new set of Cadillac originals right now. 56mm on a street set up. Man they feel amazing! I’ve skated probably every brand, and this one is true to its heritage. Smooth as fuck!
@@ShredzShop i learned that roller skate wheels were interchangeable with skateboard wheels as a kid just out of boredom. Crazy to think k it started like this!
After I used urethane wheels I never looked back. On white 🤍🤍 wheels...urethane is a breakthrough technology....praise. The skate gods for developing this material .and shape the future. Of skateboard 🛹🛹🛹 ing..
