Why are 90A’s always forgotten about...that hardness alone is something I love too ride not too hard not to soft but yet still good for filming and doing slides on

[@Jack-xy4fy]

Just got myself the 92a clouds. They see like the best middle ground for a rough floored indoor skatepark like my local

Spitfire's F4 97a are a 'goldie locks' type'o wheel. I've been _riding 'em_ and they do-it all, baby! _ALL!_

Yessss! Thank you so much! Keep it goin--Knowledge!!

I learned something new today :-)

Glad we could help!

I need to get this soft cruise wheels😄

[@camstickneyffjj7745]

They are oj hot juice

[@dylanbenadie458]

I skate 78a 54mm wheels atm, I wanna try out some 80-86a soon. Highly reccomend soft wheels, you can actually skate your board without pushing a hundred times a minute

[@knezo6932]

@@dylanbenadie458 I know doing tricks with 78a's is hard but is it still doable

[@dylanbenadie458]

@@knezo6932 in my opinion I don't personally find a difference doing tricks skating soft or hard wheels they feel the same to me. I'm skating 60mm 78a ones right now and I still skate the same as my 52mm 99a kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5-Wl3h9bLOtb5o Here's a skater that skates big soft cruiser wheels and still does tricks

[@JaviSancho93]

What are you guys using for skating bowls? Well kept concrete. I'd like to be able to use the same board to ride home as well, but if there's not a best of both worlds, I'll build a cruiser.

[@Bill-hl1gp]

A+

[@hollow_w33n]

on an unrelated note: for wheels with designs on them (like the spitfire formula four that you showed), does it matter if they’re installed with the design facing inwards or outwards?

[@red_rose_redemption]

No, its all personal preference. Some people don't like the graphic side showing out so they flip them in.

[@SkateWarehouse]

It is a personal preference. but some wheels such as the Spitfire Lock-Ins should be applied the way they are intended.

[@PoppyRaid]

Best upwards for flat land and horizontal trick work ..✌️

[@wowdude2624]

This is late but, the tool called a durometer does not read over 100a or 85b. 100a and 85b are equal to each other, you can google the conversion charts the one that bones shows is inaccurate

[@mrWhite81]

Pressed like after 2sec ,instant 80s music feeling.

[@PoppyRaid]

Great vid thanks ✌️

[@SkateWarehouse]

You are welcome! Thanks for watching.

[@domsotuff]

I think ima build 2 custom boards one for full street skating, and one for cruising around

[@SkateWarehouse]

Great idea!

[@ProbablyAayu]

Which ones are the BEST and don't crack or get bad for rough street and tricks cause I had 55m wheels which didn't last for 10 days of trying to learn tricks they already have hairline cracks and one of em broke open in a new skater so I don't really have any idea I need wheels for rough streets and tricks

[@SkateWarehouse]

Try Bones STF (Street Tech Formula) www.skatewarehouse.com/Bones_STF_Wheels/catpage-BONESSTF.html

[@Blviik]

So what’s the best wheels for skating in the uk??? I got bones rough riders and they were sick but way too heavy, bulky and get in the way for grinds etc. I rarely go to parks but the streets in London/UK are brutal, any advice would help

[@fancylad8112]

aye bro check out the 95a OJ nomads

[@diegradebanane]

So I want to cruise mostly and currently have 99a´s. I mean they work but its a hell of a ride, so I am thinking about getting some 87-90a´s, but does the size matter also? I mean does it make a big difference if I get a 52 wheel or a 56 mm wheel?

[@SkateWarehouse]

I would suggest a bigger wheel as well as the lower durometer. Our video that touches on size will be up on our page soon!

[@shredders4life532]

So would a 100a be perfect for cruising down to your local church to practice kickflips and Ollie's and going to the skatepark and doing ramps and stuff

[@wildforceredranger4296]

Hey skate warehouse do you prefer the oj super juice or the orangatang wheels???

[@skateonly857]

Ricta wheels💙

[@keirongavriel7662]

What's the best wheel for doing both cruising and tricks?

[@tjj3444]

a hybrid so like a 82a

[@drill4408]

Sick!

[@maxaguzzi9919]

Hi ! Between Bones and Spitfire both 99a which is better on rough asphalt and roads? Thanks for all! \m/

[@Wokecommunity2023]

Can you still do flip trick on 80a 56mm/54 mm wheels?

[@grizzlywhores459]

XghostX XghostX yep

[@ITSMEWILL]

What's the difference between 99a and 99d formula fours

[@itsjjstyles]

Probably a little late, but Spitfire uses the same A scale, they just call them D, a 99A wheel is gonna be the same as a 99D

[@captaindadpool7904]

Thanks

[@landontindall]

which wheels are better for cruising, landing tricks or just street skate, but also are good for powerslides and grinds? hopefully that makes sense

[@stonedmickey7991]

Mini super juice OJ

[@stonedmickey7991]

But spitfires are also good but worse for cruising

[@Shinobitate]

What bones said is not true though. We can not always -20 points and convert into a scale into b scale.

[@marekberec564]

@Skate Warehouse Can you to recommend wheels for skating tricks but for rough surfaces? as Parking lot, asphalt and rough older skateparks? which size, durometer for this? Thanks!

[@SkateWarehouse]

You want to look for a durometer between 92a-97a. The rougher the surface, the lower the durometer. Durometer is the key. Use a size similar to what you normally skate. Here are some suggestions.

[@marekberec564]

@@SkateWarehouse Can you to recommend me conical wheels too ? with this parameters. Thanks!

[@alexsinton8097]

Which aspect of the wheels make it smoother on bumpy ground?

[@Jack-xy4fy]

Durometer. You want a softer wheel for bumpy ground.

[@dylanbenadie458]

The softer your wheel and the bigger your wheel will both affect how smooth it rolls on rough ground😊

[@palleh7742]

What about 95a 97 and 98a?

[@stoborking]

With the 99A wheels would 1 pebble send you flying?

[@SkateWarehouse]

No way.

[@nickmccack]

Imma have to disagree with the 101 spitfires. They don't slide as good as the 99a F4s. In fact after roughly 99a, it gets harder to slide.

[@bergtfn]

Do you ship to europe too? And what are the shipping costs to Europe?

[@SkateWarehouse]

We do! if you go ahead and check out this link below it will show you the list of countries we ship too. Price of shipping will depend on weight! www.skatewarehouse.com/internationalcountrylist.html

[@tinecerne1675]

so 95A is on the harder or the softer side

[@SkateWarehouse]

Softer side for street skating. Hard for cruisers.

[@ronaldradicalhickman6071]

You skiped way too far between the ricta cloud 86 has and then straight to 99 , 95-96-97 are actually best for a proficient skater .....

[@braddesanta4291]

So bones is softer than spitfire?

[@elliottmusa135]

Brad De santa depends which ones you get. I’m pretty sure bones makes 84b (about 104a) and spitfire goes to 101a

[@elliottmusa135]

ClickbaitKyroYT maybe the rifts clouds in 92a? Not cruiser wheel soft but it will still ride smooth and be good for skateparks

[@elliottmusa135]

ClickbaitKyroYT or really any wheel that’s a known brand from 80-95a should be pretty good

[@steph_xh]

86a r cool

[@chuckmaddison2924]

Hi, like to ask your opinion. I have 80 mm 80 a on my longboard. I was thinking of swapping to 76 mm 86 a. Would there be a noticeable difference / improvement. My aim is to roll easier over a fairly long distance. Many thanks.

[@griffinmartin3812]

Chuck Maddison The wheels on your current board are pretty low so when you switch, the things that you will probably notice is that the 86 wheels are harder and will probably be a little slower than the 76
