EVERYTHING You Need to Know About Buying Skateboard Wheels 

What wheels are you currently riding?! Size, brand & durometer?

Still waiting on 14 things about Creature. The team is stacked now.

10 things about spitfire?

For Cruising: Powell Peralta G-Slides 59mm 85a For Vert/Park: BONES SPF 60mm P5 Sidecut 84B (104A)

I'm a huge fan of the spitfire classics. Skated them ever since I stepped foot on a board. Got a pair of lockins last year an they're my go to now

I'm loving the OJ Plain Janes. I've got them set up on a board with super soft bushings and shock pads. They're fast, I get almost no vibration whatsoever and they're super smooth. I can still get decent grinds and slides I just have to get a little more speed and force it a little more. I ride REALLY rough streets and spots you couldn't skate on a little 101a wheel.

57mm 101a Speedlab Amelia Brodka Pro Models is what I started on. Super fast & wide. Great wheel! Currently on some 53.5mm Slim balls 97a Double takes. Wide also. I think I prefer 54-56mm 97a-99a. Started skating in 2020. Mostly transition. Hopefully find a good curb and learn Slappys soon. I'm 290lbs. Smaller wide wheels, wide deck, wide trucks & hard bushings work well for me.

OJ's or Spitfires all day 👑

This video was super helpful, no bs, no waisted time thanks bro

Please make a vid on how to buy a skateboard deck. Making comparisons in sizes and shapes

These videos are SO helpful! Thanks so much for making them cuz I had no clue about this stuff before. Keep them coming. :)

I currently skate spitfire quartersnacks 99A 53mm. I was looking at changing to bones 101A but I’m confused by all of the V1 - V5 range, the wheel shape, I heard V4 is the best all rounder.

1. Go buy Spitfire. 2. Go skate.

Powell 52mm Dragon formula Classics right now. Absolutely love how they slide on asphalt, yet they grip good on smooth park concrete. Not to mention the fact they are so soft I feel like I can skate for longer without my feet feeling gross from constant impact. Spitfire Formula Four 52mm 99a Conical fulls will always be a favorite of mine though!

I think the spitfire formula four classic 101 A 54mm are the best wheels

Hi i have 99a 52mm classical shaped (about 20mm net width) on my board. the problem is. My skate spots suck. While the obstacles are very nice, the asphalt is extremely rough and after pushing really hard you basically stop after 12 feet. Now i got the painful choice 1: 100a 55mm classic shape (about 19+ ish mm net width) 2: 95a 54mm mini logo a-cut (21 ish mm net width) With the 95a i already worry that, where i slided a bit to safety on a ramp with the 99a, i will full on body. but on rough asphalt they should be considerably better. What do you think?

Can you also do a video about buying trucks?

I've been using a cruiser board for a bit and want a new board to learn tricks. I never go to a skatepark and have mostly rough concrete and asphalt around. Would 95a be too soft? Do I still need to go with a 99a?

I can't wait 3 days

99a 52mm bones stf easy streets for street and bones stf 103s 54mm for park. Don't skate ramp so the never used bones SPF 106a park wheels. I thing they would be too hard. I've been liking slims in 103a 54mm. They look dumb but they ride well.

Street A-B and sessions on street classic F1 Spitfire 99 , and great for dusty park, too , for a nice park with smooth polished park or wood ramp or ground the F4 99 are great , if the park or spot is older concrete and kind of chunky F4 101 if the park / spot is really shit I’d do bones 103 or 104 , just to keep speed and be able to revert and slide on shit Crete

If going Spitfire, Formula 4 only 👀

thinking of buying 99a 55mm ojs for my 9 inch shaped deck. It will be the DIY park crust destroyer

52mm 101 duro Oj Bones Spitfire

How to choose the best wheel. Buy some OJs. Throw them in the trash. Then buy some spits boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

I went from 99a Spitfires to 95a OJ Nomads since I skate curbs and parking lots more than anything, love them.

Yes another banger from my fav youtube channel

you should do one on skate cheats like waxing under your wheels to avoid wheel bite. keep it spicy

I have seen those Walmart completes at a Skateshop where parents were having better wheels installed on those decks. In my experience the OJ 54mm plain Jane wheels are the way to go. Can cruise and do tricks no problem.

Can anybody recommend me some spitfire wheels for street skating. Pls i really need help

Can you guys make a video about worse skate products ever releized.. shoes, Trucks, wheels, hardware...something like that. Big love from Québec City Brothas😁✌🏻💯💎💯🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

my boy lookin' fresh with dat new cut

I just buy my wheels from the skate shop. But now that Sydney Australia is in lockdown again because the government didn't get the right jab jabs. I now have to make my own wheels out of electricians tape.

I ride shark wheels

My first time riding Bones STF was 49mm,in 2003. Today I ride Bones STFs V-2,V-3,V-5 any Versions 1-6,50mm-55mm, or If there isno STFs,I get Bones100%s. BONES IS MY FAVORITE WHEEELS.

I love the look of small wheels but went back to bones 60mm since I can pretty much roll over anything without destroying the wheel or eating shit.

I have got the 52mm, 99A, Conical (not full) Spitfire .. 1,78m 85kg. Do you use spacers?

I didn’t release how expensive spitfire wheels are, my parents got me a deck,wheels,trucks,bearings,parts, and a tool for Christmas Literally just the wheels were 63$ CAD. In total I was like 1000000000000000$

A can't wait that long. And I'll forget. Again

“Reinventing the wheel” dates back to at least 1956, someone’s been misinformed regarding the origin of the phrase.

Currently rockin some black Spitfire 54mm, 99a Radials... If I could never ride any other wheel, that'd be O.K. 🔥🌚🔥

consolidated, if there is info. available. please. or hard luck, i guess

i skate in cali (roads aren't that good) so far just been using formula 4 conical fulls 99 du and 53 mm, should i go with a 93?

For upcoming vids how about 14 things about H-Street? Or H-Street vs Santa Cruz. My feeling is H-Street seems to copy Santa Cruz/NHS. They have their versions of power ply, VX decks etc

How about a story about the history of Gordon & Smith ......

I am a skate filmer and I'm between buying the powell peralta g slides, spitfires chargers, bones atf filmers, bones atf rough riders, ricta clouds, slime balls og and ojs plain jaines is a difficult decision

Peasants, I rock Sims Pure Juice, 'cuz I'm da shittt. You wish you could, but I have the only ones left.

The formula has become a important factor. Some hard wheels don't slide for shit which seems odd to me.lol

The first skate wheels I bought were Bones 100 ringers 54mm Red and whites

I want some 90a smooth wheels for my pool board , got formular 4s fir my every day deck

I started to hate these cheapo boards when i saw a little girl maybe 12 years old riding having fun until those garbage wheels hit a pebble I can tell you the faceplant she took was harder then i ever bailed in all my years of hard skating that look of genuine fear and pain on her face when i lifted her up i knew she was done with skating for the rest of her life

Thats not the origin of the term re-invent the wheel…. been used for ages and it regards any attempt to reinvent or duplicate , good skate video cheers

bro this was so helpful

If you can’t Ollie a trash can with any wheel type then you can’t call yourself a skater

Hello everyone! I mostly use my skateboard for transportation and want to do tricks what wheels would y’all recommend?

What wheel size, shape and durometer should i get? I've skated 101a 53mm wheels from a complete before and it was a pretty bad ride, we don't have the best terrain here, would the bones stf 99a 54mm wheels be fine? I'm looking for an all around wheel so I could do tricks, but I could ride it to the mall or school for example.

Spits best hard wheels, ojs best soft wheels 99d f4s and that suuuuupppahhh juice Thanks for the free education 👌🏽

14 things about circa please!

I haven't bought anything but spitfire since i was 13 ill ride on used wheels some one gives me but i only buy spitfire

Well done, Levi.

All you need to know is buy bones x formula

the mini logo C cuts 101a are all you need , same thing as bones v3 wheels but like 20$ a set and same anti flatspot tech

What about wheel width? I recently got some bones DragonWheels and I got them in 32mm wide instead of 34mm like my usual wheels. Is the width difference really that big of a deal?

Every time I hear him say “Powell and Peralta” it’s like nails on the chalkboard

Wouldn’t big wheels technically ride slower? Depending on the width, you’re losing speed to friction do to a larger contact patch. Also they have further to spin being bigger. Any word if or when Bones 85B dual urethane prototype (softer on the inside of the wheel,for a smoother ride softer landing…etc. though the outside, where you’re contact patch is, is super hard for speed(for those of us that are into that)) are set to drop? I think it was Jaws i seen blowing one of these out, but I don’t remember. (That right, parentheses inside parentheses (how’s that for a tangent?)) Currently Bones 55 83b whatever shape the Evan smith’s we’re, occasionally 53mm 99a. Spits Formula 4’s whatever shape had the smallest contact patch or Oj’s elite hardline 55mm 101A depending of the situation. I figured i use some of that stimulus to end the debate (at least in my my head) to who’s better. For the record Spits, least flat spotting. Bones has the 83B though the urethane didn’t seem to hold up as well, i liked the speed. The Oj’s performed best overall, with a little give and take. (I tend to speed check with powerslides quit a bit, and like to go fast. Even on little shit, flatground or small parks i find myself tic tacking and powersliding (maybe a bad habit). It has a tendency to chew up wheels.

are there any good skate shops in washington

I think doing a “EVERYTHING you need to know about SkullSkates episode would be sick”

So much hate for Walmart boards 😂

any love for bones stf?

The only wheels I can ride

@ 00:54...GEICO baby!! 😂😂😂😂

"A few years later" lmfao

someones got some new ink.

99 is the one for sure 👌👌👌

Your wheel size typically goes off your board set up. If you ride A 8.0 you should be riding 139 trucks and about a 52m wheel. If you ride an 8.25 or bigger I would ride a 149 truck with a 53m or 54m wheels.

14 things on dynasty

I’ve been skateboarding for 47 years and have ridden urethane made by Powell Peralta, Santa Cruz/OJ, Spitfire etc. and Spitfire are the only wheels I have ever flat spotted ever! Beware!

Spitfire ftw🔥😎

I still have a set of X Bones on my old Lance Mountain "full size" board. Still have my ond Natas mini too. Those were back before all boards were ovals.

Best wheel set up I ever had, Geoff Rowley rictas and abec 7 black panther bearings, rictas are the bomb.

Yo what happened to 15 things you didn't know about toss Pappas featuring Tonmy Honk?

Thankyou so much this helps me out a lot I’m going to the skateshop tomorrow so I was kinda confused about my wheels so Thankyou so much 🙏

Please... Dont forget Satori movement... For me its one of the most iconic wheels in 2000. Bless

This channel is underrated. A lot of great videos. I’m binge watching the videos.

Yo that orange Zero board in the background is f'n fire

So does any wheel size work for any trucks?

Perfect 👏🏻👏🏻🏆🏆🛹❤️

W vid

What is the dark board on the bottom right?

Fury trucks !!!

Levi, how big are your wheels?

The everything you need to know series is my favourite by far 🔥🔥

Great, real useful. Now I can throw those wheels from Christmas right into the fire. Other thing (new to skating), i can't find a skate shop in my city (seems they all left), I suppose websites of those stores will be only chance or is a sport centre a good option as well?
