What Are The Best Wheels For Mini Ramp Skating?

[@JonBishopSkate]

Great video, I found the Spitfire F4 to be unrivalled for me. I use 54mm on mini ramp and 58mm in the bowl and on Vert.

That clip with tony is legendary man, u a legend for real

[@donovanhays]

Love the technical discussion videos. I skate a lot of street and parks and I ride 52s. So that’s what I ride in mini ramps. I don’t want to keep 2 setups and get used to 2 setups. I’ve thought of going up to 53s but honestly I’ve realized that for the most part it’s just getting used to whatever you’re riding. There are pros and cons for everything that you’re going to have to get used to

[@davidleeashkenazi8992]

Right now i'm messing around with some 54mm 97a FF Spits in the Classic shape, but my favorites are the 54mm 99a Conicals/Fulls

[@valotinn]

Using softer wheels on a mini has helped me learn boardslides really well because your wheels can't hit the ramp at all!

[@PatriceLarochelle]

Excellent review for using the wheels in the mini ramp. My favorite point is when you explain the impact of the differential that the width of the wheels has on the available contact surface of the trucks on cooping. Excellent work as always !

[@81casperflip]

Love the high output of videos lately 👌

[@ChadCaruso]

Thank you! 🙏🏼

[@TheReal_DeanD]

For me, it’s 54 mm 97A bones X formula. Wheels or spitfire radio, full 97 A wheels. Both have enough contact patch for street or ramp in my opinion.

[@MikkoHenrikki]

Nice sliding tricks!🔥 I ride Spitfire conical fulls 53mm 99A. Perfect size and hardness for street and miniramps. Now outdoor season is over in Finland so mainly skating dusty indoor parks with plywood. During summer even 101a hardness could be great option. Might try next summer.

[@TheSkaBouncer]

I've fallen in love with Powell Peralta Dragon formula wheels since the minute I slapped em on my board. I mostly do old school tricks, especially bertlemann slides, and goddamn no other wheel makes berts feel so clean. I'm getting into learning lip tricks these days so I'm considering their Nano Cubic shape, but 93a Powell Dragon urethane will be with me til my end of days

[@5teeleDuke]

7:07 props that was lokey so smoooth!

[@scottmccrimmon1]

I like the Oj elite hardline in 101 for concrete and 99 for wood

[@jebgordon6608]

I ride 56mm (97a or 99a)with an 8.5, drop down to a 54mm (99a or 101a) on a 8.25 or 8.38, and then drop again to a 52mm (101a) on an 8. I have a bunch of different set-ups depending on where and how I plan to skate.

[@MartyBird_70]

Same wheels as you for bowl and mini: 101a Spitfires full conical. No flatspots ever. Slide and grip control at once. Best ones 200%

[@jamesg2246]

Rocking 56mm 97a Spitfire Radial Fulls in the bowl. 8.75 w Indy 159s. Super stable and fast fun carving.

[@hugonovak7950]

For miniramp I use 56mm OJ’S . I have them for like a year and they are the best!

[@old_school_sk8]

Excelent review !! My favorite wheels set up is Spitfure 56mm 99a, this set up fits all skateparks Except big concrete bowl, the I have SPF BONES 56 mm

[@seanpavani8251]

Have you tried the dragons or spitfire soft slider"s ? I hear the work great on wooden ramps .

[@mattschavel9469]

97a 56s skate mostly outdoors concrete parks. 8.5 board. Older heavier skater for me that’s what I’ve found works best

[@theoutside93]

Thanks Chad for this video, very useful. I use wide boards so 56mm to 64mm is my thing, but yeah , im not flipping the board at all 😂.

[@Rekallism]

I just found out recently that Tony Hawk rides 60 mil dragons. That changed my perspective that, on massive vert, it works for stability. I'm on 56 black bones wheels, that I love for the look, but I find them harder to powerslide.

[@Jonosk8severything]

Thank you for your thoughts chad

[@ChadCaruso]

Appreciate you watching and the comment 🙏🏼

[@robbieevans6536]

Back in the early to mid 90's I had these wheels with a whale on them they were like 52s and the hardness was "forklift compound " they were rock hard....It says right on the wheel... "forklift tire compound the most kickass formula in skateboarding"

[@azazelreficulmefistofelicu7158]

Since the 90's Ive been riding hard around 52mm wheels. The harder the better. Spitfire through and through. Unfortunately I skate to and from places in rough sidewalks. Went from small 101s tablets to 99 full conical 56mm to dragon wheels. For my skating and the surfaces I ride on I can't be stopping every ten meters because the rattling is insane so I'm going through a journey of dragons, x97 and the Reynolds "soft" spitfire to see what I like the most. For ramp only, full conical.

[@kiamt.9166]

I ride the same wheels but in 99du...will test the 101du soon..nice vid bro!💚 Do you use spacers?

[@samkupper]

I ride the mini cubics. Smooth but super big wheels. But I have no problems with them.

[@craigoswald9083]

OJ 54mm 99A team line. Pretty decent overall for mini ramp or Street. Enjoy the videos 👍🔥

[@yesmaybe630]

Take a trip to FDR!

[@Not_My_Handle]

Do a thunder vs Indy vid next. 😅

[@OneManWrangeler]

Spitfire 53mm 99a’s

[@sonnyrico]

105mm dad bods for pushing 60 miles + , 54mm for my curb machine

[@sk8tobees809]

Bones for life :D

[@elcapix]

I used to ride 52 in the early 2000, now I skate 58mm for. the bowl

[@adamf386]

For me the 101a’s are too slick on anything indoor or dusty. 99a is the best universal hardness imo.

[@mulldriftyr]

I thought best wheels were karma wheels Chad ? ;)

[@citystars1117]

Doesn’t he have his own brand of wheels he was pushing for a while? But he rides spitfires? That’s strange?

[@ChadCaruso]

Had a wheel company but don’t anymore. Ride spits now

[@5teeleDuke]

@@ChadCaruso Bro am I the only person who flat spots spitfires in a week or two? We have similair style and skate the same stuff, do you not encounter this problem with spitfire? I switched to bones stf and a pair can last years without a flatspot.

[@citystars1117]

@@ChadCaruso what happened to it? Can you make a video about it?

[@citystars1117]

@@5teeleDuke never ever ever ever had an issue with spits.

[@RikRiorik]

I like that you ride less tall wheels. Feels like there are so many people riding transition ride taller wheels.

[@vorpalblades]

It's for speed reasons.

[@RikRiorik]

@@vorpalblades fo sho.

[@5teeleDuke]

53mm is my wheel size for transition. Shaves down to a perfect 52mm. Bones stf with the harder formula material for sliding and a thin wheel base for ledges. Also for the love of god quit following the tribalism trend, show your wheel graphic!

[@azazelreficulmefistofelicu7158]

"Tribalism trend"? You call something that has been a constant since the 90's or earlier "a trend"?

[@johndoeyedoe]

Definitely not spitfire. The price is just crazy these days and there are companies half the price for the same quality. Just my opinion, everyone has one.
