How to Choose Your Skateboard WHEELS

[@johnthomas2877]

I have been buying lots of skateboard wheels over 2 decades. I have 55mm, 60 mm, 65mm and 70mm. Their durometers range from 78A soft to 101A hard. SINCE around 2006 I have been dissatisfied with the roll speeds of most new set of wheels that I purchased. So I started experimenting with mixing 4 different durometer wheels of similar sizes onto one skateboard. The results has been phenomenal and incredible! The increase of rolling speed and length of glide is very obvious! But it usually works with the softer wheels from 78A to 92A. The trick is that you need to rotate the wheels alot until you find the right place for the wheels so that it rolls the fastest. It's like you need to become like a wheel whisperer of sorts. Change a wheel take a short 30 second ride and repeat. This is what they call real world field testing. Always carry a skate tool to change the wheels on the go a carry about 6 to 8 different wheels of all similar mms in a backpack or bag. And give yourself at least 2 hours minimum to find the fastest combination. NO this is not a prank. Not many people believe this works even if they've never tried it before. Maybe that's the hardest part to get this validated. People need persistence patience trust and faith in the process to see it come to fruition. But once you get it I must warn you because it can get highly addictive. How addictive you ask? Well since 2006 till March of 20024 I have been doing this every week and I never get disappointed!! 😊 😊 😊 😊 And I don't think that I will ever stop as long as I can still ride a skateboard! ❤ 😊 😅 😮
