The Powell Peralta Nano Cubic Review (1 month skated)

In today’s episode we do a full review of the new Andy Anderson Nano Cubic wheel. This newest skateboard wheel from Powell Peralta features several improvements over their previous Dragon Formula wheels. We check out how they’ve held up after a month of skating in the streets and at the skatepark.

i was waiting for that no comply down the stairs the whole time and when i saw it i was hyped

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

I try to throw a no comply in at least once a session!

[@Quaddaroy]

Love watching you skate man. The trick selection is so rad - most people are sick of seeing every kickflip variation lol

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

Thank you 🙏 I’ve always liked to switch it up

[@lespour1]

KZbin recommended your channel through this video and ngl at first I judged you for your name and board size, but I've gotten to see how chill and talented you are♥

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

Haha thank you 🙏

[@solidbluebrian]

Great variety of tricks my guy!! Andy would be proud

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

Thank you 🙏!

[@chrhadden]

my man is kicking it old school! and killing it

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

Thank you 🙏

[@StuffnThings42]

I really like the Nano Cubics too. They're a pretty darn good all purpose wheel. 👍

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

Skate good,feel good, look good. What more could you ask for

[@dadthighs]

brick stairs spot & water gap look so fun to skate sick video man!

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

Thanks dude! Yeah the brick stairs are my warmup spot but I always end up staying there for most of my session 😂. The water gap needs a little bondo before it’s officially a spot

[@dadthighs]

@@bigdeckenergy8119 those are the best spots! "I'll just warm up here" - spends 6 hours skating the same spot 🤣

[@Imrahil]

Love that you're ripping on a Kendall!

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

It’s been my favorite shape recently!

[@Hardcorestilllives]

man I love the way you skate. The no complys in particular look so ultra smooth. what is your secret? and the wheels sound great too. dragon wheels have already picked me up anyway

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

Thank you 🙏 it’s kind of hard to explain but I do plan on having a trick tip video for the no complys

[@Bobbysk8salot]

Sick!

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

Thanks dude!

[@frankrotthier4392]

Looks like such a fun set-up man! Which AF1's are you using? I've got the Dragon Formulas and the X-Formula 97's but will get a set of these as well after seeing this video :) It widens the riding surface a bit when using AF1 60's (8.75" axle) instead of AF1 66's (9" axle) on 8.75" to 9" boards.

[@frankrotthier4392]

AF1 55's 😉

[@frankrotthier4392]

Also love bigger decks with 52mm wheels 😀

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

Yeah the 55 hollows are what I’m riding they fit almost perfectly and keep the setup pretty light

[@stickersteve007]

Although i did really like them...i went back to my x97's after a few week's. For my setup and my skating the wheelbite was just a little to much for me. If i put together a bigger slappy setup ill put them on there though.

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

1/8 riser pads fixed it for me. But I use risers on most of my setups

[@stickersteve007]

@bigdeckenergy8119 yeah I'm not a riser pad guy. Also I'm a bigger guy so I get wheelbite easier anyways haha

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

@@stickersteve007 you still float like A butterfly homie!

[@stickersteve007]

@@bigdeckenergy8119 haha appreciate ya dude

[@alstone5005]

I went back to Dragons after buying two sets of these. They are wide and grip more than dragons and I had a little wheel bite. They would probably be a good wheel for the right person that wants more grip and a riser. They honestly don’t compare to Dragons for me

[@captaint1180]

They have them in bigger sizes now, I’m getting the 54s

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

54s would be solid!

[@blankearth5840]

@@bigdeckenergy8119Indeed. I’ve been waiting for them to come out in that size.

[@burger1113]

I wish the 97a formula was just a bit softer... can't help but go back to the dragons. Maybe they would make the andy wheel in 93a, and hopefully a little bigger...? There were some rumors of them planning a 95a x formula, but who knows...

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

I would be willing to bet they would make a 95 soon. Powell has probably been making more off of dragons and the other wheels than they have in board sales. Why stop now?

[@burger1113]

@@bigdeckenergy8119 that would be awesome! They just released 53mm v6 shaped dragons which was unexpected, so maybe!

[@vorpalblades]

RatBones Dragons are essentially the same wheel with a sharper outside radius. 60 m.m.

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

@@vorpalblades that’s a heavy sounding wheel!

[@chrisfrizzell1050]

Their website shows 93a and a bunch of other sizes coming soon. (As well as other 97a sizes)

[@inthewayclay]

Do you feel like it helped with wall rides?

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

It really helped on the slappies and a little on the wallride. You won’t master wallrides with them but they do grip the wall a little better

[@kylewilliams3559]

The only problem I can see I would have with these is that since they are asymmetrical I can't rotate them to get the full life out of the wheel... wheels are expensive and my front toeside wheel always cones out faster than the rest

[@kylewilliams3559]

Being able to turn ny wheels around lets me get more mileage out of them and you can't do that with these

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

True I haven’t had problems with coning yet but I’m sure it’s inevitable. But if that happens I would just end up using the x formula

[@BrettFosterDotNet]

do you own a skate shop?

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

No I’m sponsored by a shop called Harris Skate Supply.

[@stulindenjr]

I have the 78a Super Juice by OJ !! I would like to try out different set of wheels, any recommendations @BigDeckEnergy

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

What kind of wheel are you wanting to try? Something for cruising or something for the streets or skatepark?

[@stulindenjr]

@@bigdeckenergy8119 for street street and skatepark

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

I would recommend either these or the bones x formula. They are the best all around wheel in my opinion. If you’re looking for something a bit closer to the Oj I would recommend the original dragon formula they have a cruiser feel with more of a street wheel slide.

[@vorpalblades]

Original Slimeballs are decent. 78A or 90A. 54.5 mm., 60 mm. and 65 mm.

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

@@vorpalblades I have yet to skate any slime balls but I might have to give them a try
