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

I guess soft wheels would be good for somebody who's just getting into skateboarding as well ? Considering they aren't going to be doing grinds and slides at all ?

[@irmasil3]

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.

[@DaveyRu]

So when I got my first skate board it had rubber wheels and it went pretty smoothly and they helped me alot with learning how to cruise and pushing and all that, but they are God-awful for trying to learn tricks and similar stuff

[@ariekanibalie]

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]

i skate with 80a and i rip them in 2 mouth doing power slide and shit like this.. Did you tried the 92a?

[@stratus7276]

Arno Theadorno i really want to try them are they worth it?

[@ariekanibalie]

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.

[@themasterdwerg]

the 92's are great. they are a little softer and grippier than your normal hard wheel. absolutely love them!!!

4:46 “WHY ARE SKATING ON MY PROPERTY “

[@jamesr6565]

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.

[@Contentwatcher1]

Soft wheels feel good on your feet when you ride

[@dylanmonnier3559]

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.

[@giannabarret9262]

Best wheels agree for any surface!!! 🔥🔥🔥

I've been riding nothing only cruiser boards that have soft longboard wheels and I was so confused why trick skateboards use hard wheels considering soft wheels are good on any surface but hards are only good in park. Thanks for clearing things up!

[@BlueBaron3x7]

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]

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.

Use the suspension trucks with the soft wheels, that's what I do.

Also it's the SMOOOOOOTHEST ride you'll ever experience! Keep up to good work Dale!

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]

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.

[@tifertv7906]

That feeling when there is snow outside so you have to wait until it melts and you can skate again

[@Agathoskakos]

Longboarders typically use bigger softer wheels, to ride over rougher pavement, feel less vibration, and grip the road more. I typically ride 70mm 78a wheels

[@MrOldSkool02]

anyone know the name of the track @ 3:56 ?

[@zahidsaldana647]

thatlemonadekid did you find the name ?

[@TakeThatJoy]

16 years and no T tool😐😐

[@psychoboitrip3125]

JoyDoesGames and he doesn't know wheel sizes? ...

[@TakeThatJoy]

I may not be skating 16 years but I always make sure I have my t tool

[@grotesque666]

😂 I know I was taken back when he whipped that shit out lol

The wrench is more versatile than the T-tool

[@just_sofiah]

this helped so much i am a new skater and i got soft wheels and i was trying to figure out what i was doing wrong and my brother (a better skater) said it might be the wheels but he also doesn’t know much so this video helped a TUN

[@Thesendingsound]

This channel is gold when it’s more skating then dale talking!!

[@twentynepilots2402]

I'm a longboarder we use soft wheels🙂

[@andersenkilgore5294]

TwentyØnePilots yep but even our wheels have different hardnesses depending on what you're doing with them.

[@micahjanku312]

Hard balls vs soft balls, c'mon it's not that difficult

[@robertodiaz9686]

Thanks bro I couldn’t skate with soft wheels but after this review I decided to choose hard wheels and they helped alot

[@Trash.baby.2004]

Went on a bike path with some big soft wheels that probably would be on a longboard but they worked perfect for that. Way better for cruising so if your skating to a store or wherever and not doing tricks personally i think soft wheels are good.

[@daledecker]

Agree

You're an expert bro. Dont cut yourself short. Most of us are

[@Hudanasheeds]

You can wax the inner sides of the soft wheels with some long lasting stuff for some more consistent grinds I would suggest

This and the bearings video was super helpful. Your experience helps know what is hype and what is just personal preference.

[@michellecarrillo1357]

Where I live all the roads are very bumpy and I still don’t know which wheels I should get.

[@NomadxElliot]

Well in my experience soft wheels are for cruisers and coasters. It's what long boarders use and it's what I use. It's not the most ideal for tricks because of shock absorption and friction, but it's great for when you're riding in rough roads, a lot of bumpy side walks, and just about anywhere, it's about having a smooth ride. Harder wheels are for riding on smooth surfaces like in skate parks and nice streets. Because of the lack of shock absorption, this makes it ideal for tricks. It makes it slide better as you can see with people doing board slides while holding onto behind a car. My preference is soft because I don't do any tricks and I ride very rough streets and with hard wheels, I would go over a rock and fall and wheel bite on rubber break pads rather than hard ones make a difference.

[@GeoffRBrowne]

Derp soft wheels are generally use for long boarding and vert

My first skateboard was one of the soft wheels and they where not that bad.

[@Skyfrost123]

Yup the soft wheels are for like cruiser and penny boards and stuff like that I have cruiser board it's pretty fun to ride

[@DoBeDiff]

Soft for grinding never works. Only hard!

[@stpbasss3773]

DoBeDiff and they are weird and bouncy on flip tricks

[@ilanc7425]

It's called durometer

[@petartodorov9202]

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.

So soft wheels for getting more speed and distance without as much effort and hard wheels for tricks right?

[@henryha835]

Omg he was talking so much to get to that 10 minute mark

[@MfRogers83]

okay so soft weels are not made for street skating more for longboard and cruising if you could tell when you where on a ramp it was slower compared to your hard wheels so it took a lot more momentum and effort to actually do the trick that you want to do

[@NathanielBTM]

What if they made hard/soft wheels mixed? In which the outer sides of the wheels are hard. Like 50% of the wheel at the bottom being soft streak but the outer edges of the he bottom are hard, including the sidea

[@hockeyskates2637]

The urathanes would fall apart from eachother if they tried to make them

[@mushlove6933]

try to skate with no bearings and only the wheels that be funny

[@microchrist6122]

Filmer wheels

[@pengroy7824]

That board shape is so sick.

[@Breaknoon0]

Would softer wheels make for a stickier wallride?
