I’ve been skating since I was a kid but I’m lowkey really liking these basic videos y’all have been putting out

[@lornaraine3570]

People still say lowkey?

[@DarthIke77]

Same. I know a lot about wheel size and how filmer wheels are usually way softer and bigger but I never really thought about slight adjustments to cater to specific types of skating. I've always just rode 52 spitfires and never really think about it. Good to know though. I might actually try some harder wheels next time.

[@sudo9866]

Out of pure curiosity why was wheel shape counted out of this? I feel the shape is more important as it drastically changes the way the board interacts with the ground

[@ccs]

In this video we did not touch on wheel shape. We plan on it in the future, this was simply talking about the hardness and mm that your wheel may be.

[@DarthIke77]

@@ccs Ya a video on shape would be awesome too! Thanks for the great content.

[@AGGRO503]

I left the burnside dirty 30 thrasher vid to watch this and I don’t regret. Wait nvm I kinda regret but I’m not leaving this

[@TheReal_DeanD]

I think the surface you skate and your weight really will impact the size and hardness of the wheels. When I'm in a skatepark the 99A Spitfire Lock ins are wonderful. When I try skating around on those wheels on the sketchy pavement around me I just end up wanting to walk and contemplate going on a diet.

[@GasGotti]

Hahahaha that’s why I sprung for two sets after getting 8-9 years of not skating. I got the spitfire classic 58m 80a for the rough and tough streets, and the f4 conical 56m 101a which I kind of regret. I feel like I should’ve grabbed a smaller wheel for tricks and slides.

[@versnellingspookie]

since when has Dale been on CCS? I love his personal channel so seeing him here is a nice surprise. Good job on presenting Dale!

I would like to try 95a’s. They seem like they would be the perfect duro for street and park.

[@paulrevere2928]

@@Huss_D 97a best for park and street personally, 95a is ideal for street, ditches etc

LMAOOO glizy part killed me

[@davidgibson9827]

Sick video my guy really helped me out thanks

[@32srt32]

so a 54mm conical wheels would be a good size for skateparks that have table tops and hips? i cant seem to get enough speed with 52mm spitfire tablets.

[@trevorbeecroft9788]

I can always get down with some phallic analogies.

[@Dr_Footbrake]

98-100 grip heaps better on steel and timber transition as well which is super handy not eating shit on airs if you don't come in perfectly straight

[@ashmyblunt]

Been skating 99a and 101a 53s for years

[@typerightseesight]

well. the barometric pressure out east is way less forgiving. so harder wheels for sure..

[@shaolinotter]

just ordered some 98a clouds and this video is making me afraid of the softness

[@jhalilxvii]

Well now I know what wheel to get when I go and get my first board

[@leejohnson2949]

I’ve been skating 104A

[@nikosucksatskating]

Yep. I notice when a wheel has a different durometer very easily. Also, powerslides and reverts are pushed to their full potential with hard wheels

[@Mrmannycalvera]

Can someone explain me what Powell Peralta wheels are like? Are Bones wheels and Powell Peralta wheels the very same thing? What is the difference between Powell Peralta wheels and Bones wheels? Isn't Bones owned by Powell Peralta?

[@Mr_Clean]

Yes. They come down the same factory line. One set gets bones graphics, one set gets powell graphics.

[@NicK-qc6nm]

80A all day

[@bgoutdoors802]

Dude I knew dale wasn’t gonna keep this whole video super serious 😂😂 it’s not a video with dale if dale doesn’t do something and say something dirty or inappropriate 😂

[@xa-lgx]

Could you talk about bushings for inbetween the trucks and board, my dad has talked about it but why would you need it?

[@brandonlange8693]

They're called risers. Puts the board farther away from the wheels. Limits wheele bite, vibration and supposed to help with stress cracks. I used to use them when I was younger, but stopped. Just person preference. Always got cracks regardless

[@Mr_Clean]

because back in the day when you were riding Bullet 66s you used a 1/2-in riser pad to keep the wheel from hitting the board and throwing you off every time you carved.

[@kingofthegames7179]

[@gorryman]

Spitfire F1 99a (classic formula) cone and shrink evenly. Spitfire F4 99du grip more but don’t seem to cone like F1 and the shrink slow and evenly. Spitfire F4 101 slide better but shrink fast and unevenly and cone like crazy if you don’t rotate every session or sometimes during a session you will have one wheel smaller than the rest in literally 1 day not joking ...

[@brentlinder1674]

Wow bro you went there

[@cliffrigor]

[@AGGRO503]

Heller (plz reply)

[@JohnDoe-dt3by]

hard wheels feel slower when riding and softer wheels faster and make less noise but then again depends on how the company once I got enjoy wheels and they ripped.

[@AriGoldFishing9136]

yeah plus bigger wheels get going slower but hold speed longer, and smaller wheels are the opposite

[@JohnDoe-dt3by]

@@AriGoldFishing9136 not really they go fast than a pair of small wheels, and if you half weak legs and don’t ride lose then you would really wouldn’t understand.

[@BendApparatus]

Here's a question no one's touched on... Does wheel size AFFECT wheel hardness? As in...is a 52mm 95a wheel harder than a 56mm 95a wheel? By the way that food analogy was hilariously off and awful... Pretty sure you can kill someone winging a 97a wheel to the temple...lol

if you live in the southeast yes hardness matters our roads suck and you need softer wheels unless you wanna be rattled to death.
