Nah, Nah For real. Coming from someone who only uses youtube for tutorials, this is fantastic. He taught me all the vocabulary and terminology i needed to know so that i can achieve my goal. From lip to contact patch thank you very much for the well though out and articulated video.
Yeah. I'm gonna go grab some 100mm wheels.
Facts
@@KandiKlover just got myself this morning broke my leg while hill bombing
This is nuts. I'm a total beginner and knew nothing about wheels prior to this. In ten minutes you made me able to search specifically for what I want.
Thanks a lot, its great to find happy and kind communities like this
same dude im still trying to learn to slide. realized my board has the sharp edged wheels and not the rounded ones which has been holding me back the whole time lol
@@ethansimpson4606 Aw man, mine doesn't even have the edges and its a pain to slide. Not even with a coleman I can properly make it
you are super wheel teacher!! cheers mate! finally i have very clear about the wheel skills
dude right?

He owns several wheels company
6 years later and this is what I needed! Earned a sub!
Thanks for taking your time explaining each wheel style. It really helped me figure it out to get started
All this information is golden. I was curious about turning a popsicle deck into a cruiser, and you answered that question numerous times in the comments. Thanks!
Awesome video. You do a great job explaining things. I learned a lot. Thank you...
Love the detail you went into, perfect.
subbed.
Excellent tutorial, you covered all my questions, and unlike so many you tubers your video was exactly what it advertised itself as. Thank you.
Just a fantastic detailed explanation. Really helping a beginner to learn to ride a dancing board with appropriate wheels.
Far away the best video about wheels!very informative.Beginner Longborders as I'm, can pick up a lot of Knowledge.Keep it up the good work Ross.!!! I watched all episodes. super cool...
THX
Great video, thanks. Getting back into skateboarding and decided to get a deck for cruising. Already purchased two sets of wheels, one set with a harder compound and one set with a softer compound so I can switch between the two depending on how I want to ride. Just waiting for warmer weather to hit the streets. Cheers!
Dude, PERFECT explanation for everything, I was thinking of taking my old skateboard that I don't use anymore and turn it into a cruiser with big wheels and now I know which ones I want, thanks, amazing video
I have been skating for 30 years, you still cannot learn enough about wheels. I do have a set of Shark wheels on my big gun Ettinger, love those.
Another fantastic informative video. I wish I'd found you guys about a month ago when I started messing around with this stuff!
thanks for these videos, I have watched each like 10 times trying to decide what setup to get
This video was so excellent, gave me everything I wanted to know about choosing wheels and only ten minutes long as well.
I have a HUGE set that I use for my skateboard when I know I'm just cruising. SUCH a smooth ride, man.
my brain just overheated with all those information. this man knows his stuff.
This video was easily the best on RUclips easy to understand and was super simple thanks
Nicely described ! It's hard to be clearer than this ! Thanks !
This is a great video! Thank you! Highly informative. I've been skateboarding for years, but I noticed that I'm not going as fast as I'd like to. Even with expensive bearings, I can't keep up with longboarders. Also, I have to push 10 times as much as a longboarder. So, I decided to get into longboarding lol. I want to GO FAST and carve!! I bought a Globe small longboard and the wheels that came on it are cambered , which is why it carves so damn nice. I love longboarding.
Thank you. Very informative.
Thanks for the info man! Very useful because I'm starting skateboarding again after 30 odd years!!! 😉
Dude thank you soooo much! Really helped out! Now I know exactly what I need for my surf skate
awesome video, thanks for breaking it all down.
It would be lovely to see sliding with different durometers, but same wheel, so we can see the difference.
Ross, outstanding job! Thanks!
1:14 is what I needed. Thanks dude
Excellent tutorial. Thanks!
Thank you! Awesome explanation!
You covered it all. Bang up job.
Thanks I really recommend your videos they are very helpful
Ahhh im so glad I ran into your vid so helpful!!
Thanks for these high quality videos
Nice video and very good information!
Your knowledge is very useful to me as a beginner in skateboarding. Peace, Flood!
Wow this was fantastic. Holy shit. Absolute high quality video, wonderful explanations!
Best video out there for sure!!👌👍
excellent explanation, thank you.
Finally .... A guy who know what he's talking about... Plain and simple
Best video for wheel info
This helped me a lot !! Thank you. Btw I see it is little bit out of date. Did anything change since that time ?
Good information. Thank you.
Excellent lesson, man.
Excellent! Thanks for educating this old guy who is thinking of getting his boards out of mothballs.
so helpful! thank you for making this video!
great vid! Thanks you.
very helpful thank you!!
was actually really helpful thanks
Wow...nice vid.
Awesome video dude!
Very informative. Thanks
I am just starting out. Great videos very informative!
I'm on a sector 9 nueve with beaver bloods. I can't break traction to slide. What other wheel options do you recommend?
Good info, thanks
Great review keep it up
👏👏 You should do a video explaining body weight and wheel duro 👍
Great video! Your explanations are quite useful and complete. I'm setting up my first surfskate, trying to make the best cost x benefit possible. I'm working on a longboard 'carvy and grippy' enough to bring that surf feeling into the streets.
Anyway, Im not a longboard expert but my research and your videos are directing me to this possible Set up:
Deck: Similar to the Sector 9 Striker, 32 to 38 inches
Trucks: Similar to the Gulling Side winder or Carver C7 or CX.
Bushings: softs like cone style
Wheels: 70 to 75 mm tall, 70 to 80A soft, 50 to 70mm contact, centerset maybe offset with shine skin and sharp lip
Am i forgetting anything? can you suggest any decent fair price set up or brand?!
Thank you and good job to you all!!
You sai´d the best thing in a wheel video that no one else did! I think I need some offset core wheel´s
I´m trying stand up slides for a couple of week´s . I ride an AOB(Area One Boards) Adventurer with some
Slideperfect wheel`s (78a / 70m / 50mm) but they´re center set and I can´t get them to more than a tiny tiny speedcheck.
So i think offset could be the answer or am I being wrong here?
thanks for the info.
For someone who wants to basically cruise around and maybe downhill, would you raccomend a drop through longboard ?
First time having a longbord
Thank you so much
this makes me want to go grab my longboard!
did you grab your longboard yet?
@@Marizyth they're still looking to this day
This video is excellent
I have a set of Race Formulas on my skateboard. Yes on a skateboard and they are awesome, even though I got them from my neighbor's granddaughter. (70mm, 78a)
This video was vary helpful
This video is soooooo helpful!
I have a 8 inch popsicle shape board that I want to ride with cruiser wheels around 60 mm and about 45 mm in width. Would I buy trucks that are slightly shorter than the width of the deck to accommodate the wider wheel so it doesn't stick out from the edge? Thanks for the awesome videos!
PlEASE REVIEW the shark wheels explain how they work/ride with drop throughs. (Sctr9 mini lookout)
Great stuff!!!
Hey @Tactics Boardshop. It's still unclear which wheels I should get. I prefer using a short board (I think you call them park decks) to ollie this and kickflip that. However, going from point a to point b on campus can be loud (because of the hard wheels) and difficult (because of rough surfaces). What wheels can I use on my short board that'll keep things quiet, keep me jumping, and possibly provide room for a little powersliding here and there?
Very helpful video, youve got the like
Hey I am getting the sector 9 gauntlet with caliber 2 trucks and was wondering if blood orange wheels would be good for some downhill and mostly sliding
this guy knows his stuff
Useful, thanks!
ok I have a downhill longboard but i don't go down big hills, just around my neighborhood there is a street that goes down but slowly so it's a hill I need new wheels and bearings so I want to go fast so what do u sugest by the way great video .
Most of the three miles to school is down hill thank you a simple Google search I can't find a straight answer from most forums on what size I should go and I've already broken my arm on my longboard rember to wear a helmet
Killed it my dude....
Thank you!
For carving bowls, sounds like a sharp-lip, nonslip wheels would be better for emulating snowboard carving, where it doesn't break traction. I'll try and find out
Awesome video!
What would be the best wheels for downhill, and free ride sliding? I'm looking for the easiest to break traction, and the most control. (more favorably control)
Nice video 🔥
I can’t decide between the same wheel size but different durometer.
Kegel 77a or 80a.
Pumping and carving on flat usually.
I’m 70kg and Icarus board 😌
Thanks
Those are so close you probably won't notice a difference but I'd go with the softer one for what you're doing. 77a
72mm 🦈 wheels on my sector 9 minimalist wave. They are perfect.
Good video.
Halfway through the video I just noticed my board on the wall the landyachts red board with the fox on it!! Sad they discontinued those..
I want to get a longboard to just cruise to and from work, there are a few hills on the ride so id like to build a board i can just cruise on and curve a little and ride hills. i like the double concave boards. what do you reccomend as a full setup
Hey man awesome video, I hope you can respond to this, I just got a 34 inch cruiser board and I plan on using it just for transportation in my college campus, the wheels I have are kinda big and I feel like I should get smaller wheels, do you recommend any wheels for a cruiser board that's just for getting around school and for an occasional trick(I'm not very good at tricks).
ok thanks for the help
Hey, I've done some downhill and I'm looking for something a little more stable. I am committed to advancing and was wondering if you think the GW stalkers are suitable
how about for freestyle? a wider wheel with center core for grip or narrower wheel with side set for easy changing of grip to slide? I'm planning to buy someday and I'm into learning freestyle or dancing long boards
Do you guys have a review for the marshmallow wheels and are they good on a cruiser?
What a great video😁
I want to be able to ride my cruiser downtown and coleman. There are some hills which makes you faster but no ridiculously high speeds and I want it to slide easier. What wheels should I get?
What's the best wheel style, duro, and set for someone who hasn't touched a board ever but wants to get into it but wants a very stable board/ride?
Basically, I just want to ride around my neighbor hood, and not go fast at all on hills, what tires should I get?? Also any advice on cheapest but good longboards? Any help is great! Thanks!
Hi there, I have a question :) If I'm planning to mostly cruise, maybe pick up some sliding/light downhill on and off, which wheels specifically would you recommend? Was thinking of ones with large contact patches and low-medium duro (78-81a)
So I need wheels for everyday cruising kind like the ones on a penny board so which ones do you recommend and I'm taking a regular deck and putting cruiser wheels so what trucks should I use regular or longboard trucks
Hey I’m looking for a mix between a good top speed and easy slides the wheels I have now either aren’t for slides or it’s me
Hey Ross, I'm somewhat experienced at downhill. I been using my friend's Sector 9, and I've really just been carving since it's a pintail. I've never really done much sliding other than on accident a couple times. Now I am shopping for my own board because he needed his back and I was looking at the Arbor Cypher. Do you have any wheels in particular to recommend for learning to slide while providing a comfortable carve?
Any recommendations for a landyatchz "surfskate", that I would like to be able to speed check easily and also cruise around the city? It's basically a mix between a surfskate and cruiser..can't take it fast down a hill, but don't want too hard of wheels.
