I have one BIG PROBLEM with Powell Snakes Wheels...

[@anagyebi2235]

Thx for the review I was actually contemplating wether I should buy Powell wheels or not

[@Molly-ss4fw]

If you're using them for freeride stuff tho definitely get snakes, maybe not the black ones. They're soft so they're more likely to chunk but the SSF thane they use is just unbeatable.

[@juliaabatemarco3532]

Faulty set maybe? I had three sets of Snakes so far, not in black, 2 red and 1 green (and as much as people go on about it I will never be convinced that the coloring doesn't affect the urethane because sometimes different colors feel quite different, particularly when you use them for sliding) and they don't seem to chunk. That huge chunk after less than an hour of flat ground cruising is really not normal anyway and unacceptable, glad you had a replacement from the shop. Cool videos btw, I really like the channel.

[@idmhead0160]

I just got black ones and the slide like sht as far as I can tell.

[@tonyjohnson3752]

Excellent production...as usual. Love your vids!

[@OgdenSikel]

Thank you! Although I think I still gotta work on lighting and angles hehe...the work never ends!😄

[@funkymonkey981]

They are not meant to be freestyled they arent a trickwheel. They are meant to be ridden downhills for slides and freeriding. Also if your wheel chunks you can actually superglue the chunked bit back on the wheel. It works and it lasts.

[@OgdenSikel]

Watch my newer videos. I’m already aware of this. Also the wheel chunked just riding down a road...I didn’t do any freestyle on it yet. I have no idea where it chunked so I can’t glue it back

[@iambored5]

never give up fam i couldnt live in a world where i dont get updates from the OG Denninator

[@iambored5]

by the way do you have any friends lol? i dont mean that in a rude way, i only have a handful of 3-4 as well... just wondering and would be cool if you had an extra in your video someday

[@OgdenSikel]

Haha yeah I have a few, but not a lot at my current university...most are back in Rochester, my home town. I’ll force some of them into my vids in the summer tho😂 thing is most don’t like to skate so I gotta make some skater friends lol

[@Molly-ss4fw]

Thank you for making your thumbnails and titles more mature & less cringe

[@OgdenSikel]

thanks I think? 😂

lmaoo

Powell seeing this: 👁👄👁💧

[@Djriosthenegro]

Hey I mean atleast there going to send you a free set of wheels! Also question my dinghy has been having creaking noises and I saw your earlier video about making your board silent with wax, could I do that with some bar soap? thanks

[@ICEMAN-km6nz]

I did with a really cheap bar of soap and it worked great

[@OgdenSikel]

Yeah I’ve heard bar soap works too! Maybe won’t last as long, I’m not really sure, but sure, give it a shot!

[@Djriosthenegro]

@@ICEMAN-km6nz thanks for letting me know!

[@Djriosthenegro]

@@OgdenSikel I'll for sure try it out

[@waltersensei9122]

Oof, Powell Snakes are really good learning wheels.....for freeride (slides). They have a really soft formula (hence the SOFT slide Formula) at about 75a. For freestyle (the style you are doing) you want something in like the 80a-84a. The only downside to these wheels is they tend to chunk and that's especially true with the black ones. When you combine that with landing tricks, peices are bound to fall out (idk why yours dropped such a big piece tho). They're not really made for freestyle. For that you might want to check out any Blood Orange wheels, Seismic encores, etc. Those all have a big core (if that's what you're looking for) and they're a little harder (78a-84a I think) that combination will give you a good response when you land tricks. If you do get your other set I'd highly recommend you learn some slides on them because after all that's what they're made for.

[@OgdenSikel]

Thank you dude for the suggestions, much appreciated! Also That’s good to hear cuz I’m planning on learning more slides this summer!!

[@waltersensei9122]

@@OgdenSikel That would be so cool. Freeride is easily my favorite style of riding. Your videos are awesome and adding different styles would make them even better. Even though I guess you already do a lot of styles 🤔. I liked the skateboarding video you made btw, adds a little variety.

[@Molly-ss4fw]

This is exactly what I was thinking, good shit 🙌

[@idmhead0160]

Are black less slidey. I just got some and found them to be extremely sticky. They suck for slides IMHO.

[@idmhead0160]

And I just ordered some black G-Slides. Hopefully those are better.

[@admirnasic2156]

Snakes are meant for freeride and downhill they are really soft and have a high rebound so that they feel nice thats also why they are prone to chunking if you bash them into the ground. Get some harder wheels for dancing and freestyle or just land all your tricks perfectly so you dont chunk them more. Also that chunk aint even that big and it honestly wouldnt affect anything, i curbed my old set at about 60kmh and they chunked just a bit more than that

[@Molly-ss4fw]

A chunk that size would affect the rate at which it wears though, and probably eventually lead to it becoming ovalled or flat spotted without maintenance. Otherwise yeah it doesn't actually affect much

[@admirnasic2156]

@@Molly-ss4fw It would still be good for a really long time but yeah at somepoint it would start becoming a bit ovalled and they would still be good for lower speed sliding

[@enasnI127]

40 Dollars? They cost about 80 Dollars in Europe. -.-

[@e_g_mc]

Longboard wheels all have cores

[@mikezazzini8053]

Bro that wheel filler is genius

[@OgdenSikel]

Yeah! Sucks it fell out though...I think I’m on to something tho so ima keep experimenting

[@alexwilliams6867]

Hawgs makes some dope duel core wheels if the peaks your interest. Love the vids keep em up

[@funkymonkey981]

U mean cheetah hawgs dual duro wheels? Those are fkn huge and wide, also heavy. They are meant for downhill racing and absolutely not for what this dude in the video is doing.

[@hylanderOP]

High rebound makes them really prone to chunks Their freeride/ downhill wheels. Since your doing freestyle it kind of makes sense that they chunked. Snakes aren't made for impact.

[@OgdenSikel]

Not true, I’ve done freestyle with them for months now and they haven’t chunked again since that time…also when they did chunk all I was doing was riding down a street…no tricks.

[@cdixon198]

Dude they’re slide wheels not meant for freestyle. It’s made out of soft slide formula. Get some cloudride slushees if you want freestyle slide wheels.

[@LiefRunsFar]

I use some Sector Nine wheels that have duel durometer. I like them a lot. I also have the largest wheels Orangatang make, with a plastic core. They are way large. I'd recommend some of their smaller wheels for the riding you so.

[@OgdenSikel]

Cool, thanks will look into that!!

[@samiant5199]

They're not meant for you. They're for freeriding. You just destroyed them 😂

[@OgdenSikel]

Like I said in the video, they broke BEFORE I did any tricks with them. Are they not meant to be ridden on a road? Because that’s all I did when they broke

[@thomasmiller9641]

there not meant for this type of stuff

[@MrStrandy17]

Orangatang wheels aaaallll daaaay

[@LiefRunsFar]

Don't use the largest unless you're bombing hills.

[@broomgizmo4227]

@@LiefRunsFar Caguamas is good for cruising too

[@Molly-ss4fw]

Nah they're outdated as fuck, unless you're cruising there are better alternatives for literally everything.

[@rafar8110]

They ain’t for dancing

[@OgdenSikel]

They didn’t break from dancing, like literally did you watch the video? I rode my board down a road and they chunked. So how is this comment relevant?
