Ricta Chrome Clouds Review! 

Yeah I started skating. Shred the gnar

Awesome!

Thanks man glad you like the vid! Nice enjoy em! 🔥🤙

True that! Thank you Ronaldo!!

Nice man they’re awesome! Loved my set!

Glad it was helpful to you!

Agreed! Loved these wheels man! Thanks for checkin it out!

Are the 86a very tough for grinds/slides? Local shop owner tells me no, internet says yes

@@peterthompsonfunny grind/slides on metal is NO bueno……..but grind/slides on concrete is a YES. They also stick on wooden ramps but are decent on concrete bowls.

Thanks so much! Yeah they are great wheels. Hello from USA my friend 🤜🤛

I ride them for 2 months now on rough asphalt skateparks in Belgium, excellent wheels for these kinds of parks

They're so good for rough ground! Thanks a lot man!

Yeah man these were great! Definitely a good wheel brand!

Thanks so much man! I appreciate that! Glad you found the video helpful! Hmm that's interesting, I never heard of that about the longboard wheels. It's possible! 🤙🔥

Thank you Mike!! 🙏

hahah 🤜🤛

Yeah man they do look sick! Loved skating these!

Thanks!! Reaaally good questions. They are a bit stickier than harder wheels for grinds and slides. Definitely possible, but you gotta power through them. There were times that I’d grind a box with sharper metal coping and it would slice into the wheel a tiny bit. They are not as good for grinds and slides as harder wheels are, but definitely still possible to do them!

Nice! Yeah these wheels were still good when doing gaps and stairs! Hope you enjoy them!

Thanks so much!!

I believe the Clouds are all made of full urethane and the Chrome Clouds have that piece of plastic core in them. I think it makes the Chrome a bit lighter, but I'm not 100% on that.

@@XSProgression yeah that makes sense they would do that to make em lighter. Thanks

Hell yeah

Yeah these are great all rounders! I havent tried the 78a, but they miiight feel a little soft if you do tricks. Great for if you just cruise usually. It'll ultimately end up being your personal preference, but the 92a felt great for me on the street and park

Thanks man! I haven't personally tried those Spitfires, but the 92a would definitely be easier on the feet and smoother for rough ground. 92a is softer than 97a, but is still hard enough to enjoy normally at a smooth park as well! If you feel the 97s are still too bumpy, grab a softer wheel. I hope that's helpful!

@@XSProgression Thanks!

hi! i’ve been thinking of purchasing the 97a spitfires and the 92a clouds. what was your experience with the 97a spitfires? do they handle rough concrete well like are they quieter than 99a or do they still keep their speed well even on rough concrete? thank you :)

Nah it’s still that same plastic core. I didn’t have an issue with it though either

I honestly haven't tried them to compare!

haha Colombia actually!

Nope. These wheels are great. Here’s a tip for wheelbite: wax your board under the wheels where they bite at. The wax will help it not catch so hard!

@@XSProgression Good to hear, and thanks for the tip! Still new to skating 😂 Definitely picking these up now.

Yeah I’m not to sure! Would be cool to learn about

@@XSProgression It's multiple factors, not just one specific reason, but it comes down to the physics of the wheel wearing down to a smaller size, and some of the science behind the materials breaking down (plastic deformation). As the wheel wears down, it becomes smaller, and a smaller wheel has less material between the surface you're riding on and the axle, so the energy from impacts doesn't have as much shock-absorbent material to travel through before it gets to the hard steel of the truck's axles, and ultimately, your feet. More energy from the shock of the road/ground surface makes it to your feet. But that's not the only reason. The wheels also lose their elasticity, and become harder and then ultimately more brittle over time from oxidation and UV exposure. The wheels also become harder as the polymer chains in the urethane become deformed or broken at the molecular level due to heat cycling. As the wheel heats up from friction and riding the rough terrain, the molecules expand and stretch the bonds between the molecules. When the wheel cools back down, most of, but not all the molecules snap back into place, and slowly over time, the elasticity of the material is lost as these bonds are deformed or broken, leading to a harder wheel. The same thing happens to the rubber in tires, which is explained over at Donut media in this video about F1 Racing tires ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1vRXezUBLfU.html The combination of the wheels becoming harder from plastic deformation, oxidation, uv exposure, and a smaller wheel, equal a rougher ride than when you first bought the wheels.

@@reigndown that was really informative and interesting! Thanks for taking the time to explain that!!

Ehh I wouldn’t say “easy”. Definitely much stickier than harder wheels. But still possible

🔥🙏🙏

Dont be sorry! Im more than happy to answer questions! It isnt a HUGE difference between the two, but the 92a will definitely be softer and smoother over rough surfaces. 95a will last longer and go faster, but will still be pretty soft. Which one is better for you depends on what you're going to be riding over and how soft you need them to be!

@@XSProgression ok cool, thanks for answering :)! I found a set of 95a wheels and I'm going to get them because my previous set were 95a

@@LHoriginal sounds good!

@@XSProgression yeah man! I'm going to get them and some other skateboard parts for my birthday, I'm going to set it up for bowl skating and cruising and I need softer wheels for cruising because the roads here in England are crap lol

@@LHoriginal yeah definitely a good choice for rough roads! Happy early birthday!

I haven’t tried the shark wheels so can’t tell ya a comparison!

@@XSProgression Are you going to do a video on it?

@@gpruin8889 I would like to at some point for sure!

They lasted 9 months for me. Everyone will have a different experience depending on how often they skate and how rough the ground is they skate on

@@XSProgression thanks ! just ordered these

@@henrikgustav2294 no prob! Enjoy them! Let me know after you skate them for a bit what you thought!

Thank you 🙏

I love you ♥️♥️😘😘

@@XSProgression wow! Bro i have some queztion.Please answer me. whats the alternative I can get beside ricta wheels for all terrain size 52-54mm without affecting ollies and fun tricks. Thank you.

@@layneaic2076 well why don’t you want the ricta clouds? I really recommend them

@@XSProgression i like them but theres no available here in our nearest (only) local shop
