    Basically, if you're riding rough pavement, get softer wheels, if you're on skateparks with smooth concrete and do many tricks, get hard wheels.

    I ride street with 54mm 78a wheels. I actually like to ride my board without pushing a hundred times a minute. You can grind and do everything you can on hard wheels with soft wheels except maybe powerslides are harder. You just have to get used to how they feel. I reccomend anyone trying some soft wheels. I'm never gonna ride hard wheels again, they're so slow unless you're riding on the smoothest of concrete, which is really lame if you ask me. I can roll so far and fast with one push and people's/cracks are not a problem for me. Soft wheels all the way

    • @irmasil3
      @irmasil3 5 лет назад +27

      They are excellent for learning to cruise outside your house, rough pavements etc..Minimises the risk of fall and injury. Also size plays a huge role. Bigger and softer, you just ride on, very relaxed, and over almost anything on the road. Hard and small, you push 100 times to cover 1 meter, then you die on a pebble. The only downside is that if you are trying to learn tricks staying still, softer wheels are really tricky, as when you crouch, the skate just rolls back and forth. With harder wheels its far more stable and you can get the trick done. If you only learn tricks rolling, then soft is very good, as you achieve a steady. speed and can concentrate on you foot position and trick mechanics. I use soft wheels for everything 78a to 86a max, have 100s only for practicing on my garage concrete, as I am an old slug and don't go to skateparks.

    I just want to say that I love you dale. Just got back into skating and I'm new to the RUclips skate scene but I've been watching all the biggest channels in skateboarding and I just love the realness and the modesty and the trollish humor. Your best videos are the ones with a lot of skating in it. Especially when we get to see you really focused on your sesh. I just feel like the contrast of serious/cynical attitudes toward skating is really relatable. I feel like you sometimes have trouble choosing what direction to go in with your videos in terms of the overall energy. What works for me is just seeing you get in your zone and skate and not overthink things too much. Anyway, hope that helps! Love you Dale!

  • @ariekanibalie
    @ariekanibalie 7 лет назад +113

    Good video, though obviously there's more than just 'soft' and 'hard' varieties of wheels. On the hard 'trick' end you've got your rock-hard 'park' formula (101a) and a slightly softer 'street' formula (99a), while way at the other end you've got 'cruiser' or 'filmer' wheels (72a). But lots of wheel companies also carry an intermediate 'all terrain' range promising to give the best of both worlds. I've been riding Ricta Clouds 86a since last summer to my satisfaction, The added smoothness makes it much more fun to skate street spots with rough ground, and I think Ricta designed these to compensate for the softer polyurethane's stickiness by adding a hard inner core, I've been nosesliding, tailsliding, and crooked grinding just fine, though when I tweak out a five o I sometimes do get that powerslide squeak. They also make a slightly harder all-terrain wheel (92a). I highly recommend trying these if you skate crusty spots on the regular.

    • @paulpu3

      @ariekanibalie 7 лет назад +2

      Haven't tried the 92s yet but am definitely ordering them. I ended up going with the 86a Ricta Clouds on a hunch, but when I got them I was sooo stoked. I could finally skate spots with bricks or cheese grater-rough asphalt for the ground, not to mention use my normal skateboard to cruise around. It does, however, make a slight difference if you're grinding a concrete or metal ledge: metal and softer wheels does mean greater stickiness on the inside, so if I take this setup to the local park, my crooked grinds sound like bluntslides and I may need to wax the ledge, whereas if I'm skating a concrete ledge it'll just grind as normal. I'm thinking of just getting 2 identical setups, only with different wheels on each.

    Use the suspension trucks with the soft wheels, that's what I do. The trucks have a little metal bit that stops the wheels from making contact with the ledges when doing nose/tailslides, you'll never stick sliding on the ends of your board (yeah boardslides will still stick). Also it's the SMOOOOOOTHEST ride you'll ever experience! Keep up to good work Dale!

The 82A are my standard wheels, and are pretty good for sliding when pushing out on a corner, but hold grip when just cruising.

    I always thought it was weird that in most places outside of skateparks, the pavement is actually completely unsuited to 99a or harder wheels, but for 20+ years its what most skaters have ridden exclusively. Every other sport that uses urethane wheels uses a standard durometer of around 80a, because it's pleasant to ride on both rough and smooth surfaces. 99a or 101a wheels are bone-rattling and tractionless just like the frickin clay and hard rubber wheels from the 60s. Yeah, they let you do tricks like reverts and bluntslides...but how many guys have gotten seriously injured from trying to ollie off of something, and have their wheels slide out from under them? That scenario would be a lot less common with a softer, wider wheel.

    @petartodorov9202 6 лет назад

    Good points! One thing I've noticed about soft cruiser wheels is that they chop and get cut easily, especially if they don't have a large plastic core to support the urethane. I had a set of 78a wheels on my cruiser, but going around the city, flipping and powersliding literally tore one of the wheels apart (the rest are in bad condition).
    P.S. I go downhill with a longboard and ride wheels that are sub 78a and are still very resilient but they are designed with a huge core that holds all the urethane together - something that small cruiser wheels lack.

    Hey I'm old school skateboarder and I can tell you the wheels and bearings of yesteryear were geared towards more ramps and bowls and doing aerials. Grinding and was only done mainly on the lip of a bowl. Grinding rails and stuff like that is modern. Old school skakeboarding just seems more fun and had more speed.

    • @edo-j1784
      @edo-j1784 3 месяца назад

      That is why I stick to softer wheels unless I am going to an actual skatepark...I will then change my wheels and bearings out for harder wheels and the ceramic bearings. I absolutely love ceramic bearings! I was probably nuts for paying so much for bearings. However, the ceramic bearings in my own opinion are great on street and even faster on wooden transition. I love cruising with those bearings because with soft wheels you can really pick up speed and everything is so smooth. I like the 66mm 75A Snakes and now the Primos. I read somewhere that the Primos and Snakes are the same wheel, with just different graphics on it and $$$. Very very possibly the same wheel, just re branded.

  • @dylanmonnier3559
    @dylanmonnier3559 7 лет назад +3

    For anyone wondering, longboard wheels are normally 65-75 mm and 75-85a. They are generally softer so you can run over practically anything you want to. Longboard wheels normally have a larger contact patch to grip the ground better, unless you want to slide, which have a smaller contact patch to have less grip to the ground, therefore easier to slide on.

    @KavaKavana 4 года назад

    99a are still a bit hard but are in the middle of smooth skatepark and rough streets. If you’re gonna do both then slightly bigger wheel helps on the rough end but still works for park. I’m rocking classic spitfire big head 59mm 99a durometer. They still do power slides like harder wheels but can handle rougher surfaces. For this same “middle of the road” option people seem to recommend oj’s 90+ or Powell g slides. I wanna try the g-slides next time.

    Riser Pads Vs Shock Pads?

    • @harrys7701
      @harrys7701 7 лет назад +17

      Good idea for a video. For anyone actually wondering.. Riser pads literally just raise the board height fractionally and give more wheel clearance. They're hard plastic and do not change the feel of the board. Shock pads, made from dense rubber do the same thing, but should also protect the deck from forming stress cracks as easily, and absorb a small amount of the vibration from the road, which will also make your board a really little bit quieter. I ride with 1/8" shocks. There are loads, and loads of people who have written about how they think shock pads will deaden the pop of the board, which IMO is really, really stupid, considering the movement of the trucks and then the bushings and pivot cup being also sitting between the wheels and deck.

    • @stpbasss3773
      @stpbasss3773 6 лет назад

      Harry S I agree I never had a problem with pop while riding shock or riser pads, if anything it helps the impact on the landing. I actually think shock pads would help an Ollie because you have a little suspension action.
