OJ Reinvents The Wheel... Double Duros (Review and Wear Test)

[@gbreedwell]

Levi, congrats on the kid! Secondly, ya'll should test the wheels on SUPER rough terrain that line the streets in poor neighborhoods or in podunk towns. That's the true test to see how valid these (or any other) wheels are.

[@kooskoos8181]

So basically anywhere in canada.

It’s funny to see in the intro “a lot of companies are working on these new wheels” when it was literally just George Powell being a genius. They put Dragons on Powell-Peralta and modified the formula a little for the Bones brand.

[@ezrhino100]

honestly if you want the ultimate crust wheel, its the 55mm super juice wheels. they are the most fun i have ever had on the streets... I would have different sets of wheels, than one wheel for everything. spitfires are still the gold standard for parks.... F4 99s.

[@skatemango]

Stoked to try these! Went from f4 classics to 99a snot clear core 51s, looking to go bigger again and love the shape of ojs!

[@jkdootsu4400]

In skate and rollerskate history, double duro wheels were actually a trend especially for roller blades. Because they need softer wheels overall, they had the opposite: a harder core and softer outer. love the video!

[@NickMullinsTV]

Congratulations on the kid! Just want to say, I love the channel and all of the amazing information that you guys have that fills in the cracks of my mind like Bondo!

[@frankieruffino4520]

I used to ride bones stf and switched up to 101 formula fours. Tried the oj concentrate 101 hardlines and absolutely hated them went back to fourmula fours(classic shape 53mm) for a while but now I’ve been on slimeballs 99a and have never been happier with a set is wheels

[@lewielew]

Ye slimeballs are sort of slept on ngl I have a set of 99a 93a conical ones and they go fast and feel good (currently on the 97A Spitfire Radial Full 56mm wheels which are sick sort of working on getting em to a 53mm atm) The OJ nomads I had once on the other hand of the same size as the slimeballs felt like I was taking sledge hammers to my ankles lol which is weird given they're supposed to be 2 duro's less then the spit's I'm on atm and even the 93A Dragon Wheels I had that were 53mm Felt wayyyy better in comparison not like a 2 duro diffrence but like a 8- 10 ish imo

[@authenticmanlymanderson]

From concentrates are their budget wheel…

[@Pd46.2]

Oj elite 101’s all day

[@TheReal_DeanD]

For me the Ricta 95A wheels with harder crystal core on the pavement by me felt so hard to me. So I'm really happy to try this from my local. Also congrats Levi on the baby. Got me worried bro. You're supposed to get the Dadbod after the kids are born because you're too tired to do much anything else after they're born. All kidding aside congrats and sleep while you can. 1st kid is real tiring but super awesome.

[@KillSanchezVol.1]

The thing with the dragons and X formulas is that those wheels let you ride extremely well over small pebbles, sand, rough terrains and the usual debris found over the skateparks. I don't think these wheels will perform as well as Powell's, but maybe they are not made for the same, and OJs are more a sort of suspension to soften impact and vibrations.

[@jasonharris5201]

I’ve been skating the dragon wheel and now trying these OJ’s. They feel just like a 101, I don’t feel any difference compared to my F4s.

[@jamesb1412]

@@jasonharris5201 that’s interesting. I haven’t tried them but I have Dragons and X’s. I really like both.

[@SkateformaticsOfficial]

dont forget the price: about $57-60+ oj nomads & elite 101a / powell dragons / bones x: about $40-45+ this is almost 50% more so 2 sets of these instead of 3 sets of dragons/bones x

[@ShredzShop]

That's true, we didn't even have pricing on these when we made this vid. But they're definitely the highest end wheel on the market 💰

[@azazelreficulmefistofelicu7158]

What happens when they wear down? Are you left with "soft" wheels after a while? I still think that F4 at smooth skateparks and Dragons for rough street surfaces are the best option.

[@budrager]

I saw a graphic of it, the inner 95a is actually quite small

[@lewielew]

I would say try some of spits 97A's on the Radial Full Natural 56mm ones they made trying to wear em to a 53mm - 52mm atm as that's a great size for me personally but they feel real nice on everything I have tested em on so far so would recommend if you don't wanna switch from spit's but try something a bit diffrent

[@azazelreficulmefistofelicu7158]

@@lewielew Do you skate in grainy asphalt or similarly rough surfaces? have you tried the dragons on it? I do and I have, hence my opinion. 97 have never agreed with seriously rough surfaces, and I've ridden 97 for ages before going into F4 and lately dragons for street. Curious about this OJs and the X97 though.

[@mehmetfratozgun6858]

​@@azazelreficulmefistofelicu7158 how the dragons wear down? are they durable?

I never could get used to those dragon 🐲 wheels they are pushing so hard. OJ does make a damngood pump track wheel

[@jdunbar6028]

Everybody sounded like a damn parrot when those wheels came out. I think it was the first time most of them even heard you could slide wheels. It is not the wheels. It is the skater. There is no truth in advertising kids.

[@burger1113]

Those lucky enough to have decent pavement to skate or just don't skate street much won't have any need for the dragons, obviously... Oh, and those with young joints that don't ache after every session haha

[@wpridgen4853]

We have crusty roads out here where I'm at, the dragons were nice, but they wore quickly.

[@solidrock6524]

[@JamesRandle]

been riding the dragons for 6 months around my city with terrible ground in most places even the parks are like sandpaper and they’re holding up pretty well 👌👌. feel like giving these OJs a go soon though.

[@pauliewalnuts5241]

Mini-logo 90A hybrid wheels are really good if you want softer wheels that are still hard enough to do tricks

[@lancelovecraft5913]

I wonder how that will effect pushing. Will it make feel sludgy since the wheel will be absorbing everything?

[@aj1604]

My one problem is the price, I was homing they would release closer to $42 but now its like if I buy them I feel like I overspent and if they drop the price its a hit to early adopters.

[@ShredzShop]

That’s fair for sure!

[@---Alex]

Not hate here but it sounds like this is just another 101 wheel that feels confortable to ride. Side like a 101 Grind like a 101 Grips like a 101 And sounds like a 101 That was the thing with the dragons , they came up with something totally new, slides (for example) in rough concrete but has the grip and the feeling of a soft wheel and so on. The oj's looks like another 101 that feel good to ride.

[@kdeSouza]

Will be heading over to Shredz so you can take my money!!!!

[@Rockit739]

EPIC IDEA!!! riding the dragons atm, great, but they do stick on crooks and stuff like that. Defiantly getting a pair of these, the softer wheel helps with my knees and back as I always feel it after riding SPF bones for example but these look like a one cure fix for everything.

[@Mrmannycalvera]

I am riding 7 different setups, which are Spitfire Formula 4 OG Classic and Formula 4 Classic on five of my setups, and OJ wheels "Sammy Baca", and OJ wheels "Milton Martinez" on the other two setups. I used to skate Bones years ago, usually STF or 100's , I have also ridden Powell Peralta G-Bones with an old school Chinese Dragon Caballero's deck, but I won't go back to Bones or Powell Peralta nowadays after having tried Formula 4 and OJs Elite , that's why I have never bought a set of Bones X-formula nor Powell Peralta Dragons. I am very tempted to get a set of these OJ wheels.

[@oljerzbastard4847]

“Look at Stussy and Supreme. Now they rule your entire world.” 😂😂😂 I never understood the Supreme dickriding movement.

[@mothsmusik]

Totally agree! Stussy has been creating douchey surf/skate wear since the 80's and Supreme is a ripoff of Powell Peralta from the late 80's. Brand names and logos are for insecure dweebs who are desperate for identity and a tribe to be in.

[@robolinoschmidt8676]

I thin ricta and oj come from the same factory..that’s what I heard..

[@profo4544]

Didnt autobahn do this first, they have wheels with softer inners and harder outers, like 97a inner with a 101 outer, and ones with a harder inside, and a softer outer. It seems other companys are doing that but instead of going from a 97 inner to a 101 outer there at like a 90 inner with a 99 outer or something. More drastic but autobahn dual duros were and the abx ones were doing this for a while its basically the same concept.

[@profo4544]

@@7275vrt rictas suck dude, well idk, there was one set of clear colored ones i liked back in the day that were hard. They stopped making all the good ones and went to like, chrome core garbage, when u have a wheel sponsor nobody really complains so they probably didnt care. But anyone spending 40 bucks a pair hated rictas they just flatspotted mad easy or the bearings didnt line up alot. Autobahns just always stayed legit.

I like the small wheels for flip tricks. The technology one these OJs would be best of both worlds for me. I guess my question about these wheels is, did you notice any less fatigue on your legs with this technology regarding impact? I apologize if this question was lame 🤦🏻‍♂

[@robertparsonson2977]

Actually this technology was invented by the electric urethane company from Australia. Them who made cockroach wheels and later made the double duro CORTECH photons. Photons were the best wheels ever. Strangely they had a harder core and a softer tire. The reason being is one of the main problems with sift wheels is they deform is high torque turns.

OJ elite formula is excellent but this isnt new. Autobahn has had a 97A core with a harder 83B outer for yeeeeears.
