Ricta Clouds 78a wheels and Rush Abec 7 bearings first impression by an old noob 

Shout out to being old and getting back into it. I feel you 100

I'm 32 and ppl be telling me I'm to old ... lowkey wanted to quit but u inspire me to keep pushing that board thank u

Listen here! I'm stoked to here other older men are starting to skate again! I started again during covid to get some exercise and recapture something I loved as a kid! I turned 55 in March and am loving every minute of it! I skated parks and pools with a pool board as a teenager and the geometry of today's boards are quite different! I also built a longboard which is so smooth and a great cruiser! Keep skating! 🤙

44 in December and got back into skating a couple of years back. Had open heart surgery last December and back on a board again after 10 months off. Age is just a number. We're just big kids in old bodies. Thanks heaps bro for thrown this vid up. I recently bought jeff kendall atomic man reissue and 78a OJ wheels. I will be doing drop ins at the nursing home. Kick flipping my walking frame. There's a Jay Adams picture I seen where it says... You didn't quit skateboarding because you got old. You got old because you quit skateboarding. So true.

I’m 44, started skating again too. Mostly just cruising and enjoying carvy turns. I put the Ricta Clouds 78a, 60 mm, on my board and they’re dreamy.

Im 37 and been on and off the board! Took more or less a 3 year break cause i got a kid! When i starting skating regularly again i got some ricta clouds with 88A and damn are they incredible! One of the best feelings when cruising around! But at a skatepark aswell! I like it a lot better! I feel the board just rolls better and smoother! Amazing feeling! Keep it up daddy-o! Shout out from germany! ✊🏻😋🤙🏻

38 here, just learning for the first time! Already had an ankle sprain my 3rd week from trying to hit rough terrain with small wheels but I'm back with a message to older skaters; if it looks sketchy steer clear lol. Soft wheels and smooth non muddy ground is where it's at! Lol

Great video! I just started skating again, in my 30's.

Getting back into it at 30, here’s to not rolling our ankles! 😂 Cheers mate

I'm 32 and I haven't skateboarded in 10 years and I just ordered a pair of these super excited cuz the wheels that I have right now are terrible every time I hit a rock I go flying LOL

45 and just got back into it too! Great to see I'm not alone.

That's awesome! I just started skating again too after 20 years...

Im 59 and loving the Kahuna boards...big and so smooth.

I’m 43 and started skating again, definitely switching to softer wheels, thanks for posting the review🤙🏼😎

I have the same wheels plus bronson bearings and it feels incredible

The intro described me perfectly 😅 and Im about to buy a set of wheels just like these. Thanks!

I’m 48! Love my Clouds 78A

42 just brought myself a skateboard,same, good stuff mate🇭🇲👍

Good video, I'm 46 and skating orbs 54s and reds bearings. I like them alot but later on I may try the clouds.

I got the skate bug too (I'm 30 haven't skated since junior high) had the urge to skate because of rad rat video and just got some ricta clouds 78's aswell and came across your video, i can totally relate to you man I originally wanted soft wheels because hard wheels would be too rough on my old legs glad to see the clouds served you well I can't wait to try them

Bones Rough riders atf work great for me, I’m 42.

Just ordered my board , starting at 30 with these wheels ! Thanks!

Yep same boat here bro...I dig the clouds ,just now giving the 92a clouds a try ,but I still love my softer cloids....OJ Plain Janes and the Bones filmers as well...all soft and fast and give an excellent skate experience, especially for us geezers....all of these are excellent at our concrete diy skatepark and are fine on wood too. Keep ripping 🤙💀🤘

Cheers to you bro 44 here and looking to skate again!!!!

Hell yeah brother!! Me too just like you! Just got turned 45 recently !! Got the same wheels got the same mind set!! This must be a 100 monkey affect because I’m hearing 45 and skateboarding again more times than U can count! Keep it up! I am eager to watch your progress!!

I'm 36. Used to skate back in elementary and early highschool. Just got a Landyatchz to cruise around and to do something with the kid. Have fun.

Btw, just checked out your channel and found out that you are a EVH Wolfie fan! How awesome! Anyone who loves Edward and collects Wolfies is a friend of mine! I own 3 wolfies and am working on a Frankie! The Frankie has been on hold for a while... I started it years ago but am now starting to finish it up! Well Rock On! My friend!

I love my ricta 78a clouds! picked up skating again for my cardio to get back in shape a bit after not skating for 8 years. My roads aren't the best and this wheels feel so smooth and are great for some cruising and flat ground tricks.

Thanks for the review! I’ve been looking for a 78A with a park wheel shape. I’ve been riding OJ mini/hot juice 78As on one of my long boards with bones red bearings and they are unbelievably smooth and fast. I recently returned to bowl riding but didn’t like the feel of the 96A OJs on my new board so I was looking hard at these Ricta Clouds. You decided the switch for me! I’m 58 BTW and began skateboarding when I was 11 through 22 years old, then job, marriage family took over., 12, years ago I got into longboards, but I was really missing the transition skating… *It’s not midlife crisis; it’s a new era of older men returning to skateboarding and just being more physically active in general. I’ve been doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu since my thirties and stayed in it. Keep Moving like your doing!

You NEVER outgrow skatboarding and shredding and just cruising, dude!

Thanks for the review! I'm a fan of these wheels. Cheers to #latersk8ers!!

Getting back into it at 30, its been 11 years. Made it 6 skatepark trips before I finally rolled my ankle. I'll tell you what, the slams hit alot harder now that I'm not such a young buck anymore. I got a sweet Powell old school deck with some indys and risers, im rolling on some park wheels but I wanna grab these for cruising around town. I can tell just by the sound they make they're gonna stop all the loud vibrations I get on the sidewalks around here.

1:27 "This video is for us. (the older guys)" haha, I LOVE IT!

55 and back at it. Softer wheels are a big plus for just rolling around. I’m riding OJ Super Mini Juices at 55mm and 78a. A bit heavy but not trying tricks they are a great wheel. Going to look into the clouds for another board setup

Hey tacos and guitar, like everyone else here (and you) I am in the same boat...haven’t skated since early twenties ..( and as you mentioned, I wasn’t that good in my day either...loved rolling around a few ollies, power slides and backside 180°s, but nothing too inspiring) and will be 45 this year. From bringing my kids to the local park that gas a pump track, and tons of separate flat areas for people using roller skates, skateboards and what ever else rolls I have gotten the bug after watching all of the mini cruiser boards rolling around. So I picked up a basic mini cruiser ( not a penny) and started rolling around...off the bat, I loved the smooth ride. Unfortunately after years of abuse on my knees I feel the cruiser setup (60mm with risers and a bit higher trucks) is just a bit too high off the ground which makes kicking off the ground a nit more of a chore ( for what I want to do) ... So I am also into checking out a basic street skate setup with smaller, yet softer wheels.

I'm 51 and I'm coming back with a 3 block deck with a 85A soft wheel. Going to roll on some Bronson Speed Ceramic. Still looking at trucks though.

It definitely hurts more now then when I was a kid but I still love skating

Very coolio!

Im 34 and started to buy some stuff for my new board. I went with the 60mm 78A cuz im not planning to hit the ramps any more, just wanna enjoy a good smooth ride.

Noice!! 🤙🏻🤙🏻

You should try OJ mini super juice 55mm 78a. I like Ricta Clouds too though.

at 52 i do the same thing.....same wheels.....they cruise over everything

Gonna buy 78a wheels since my park is 3 miles away

Got myself pair of those clouds in 54, great! What sunglasses are you wearing mate, want those too!

Hey were on the same page! 35 n back at it this week

Bought then for my kid he loves them

I’ve been looking for some soft wheels for cruising around and hitting some banks and gaps along the way there’s just huge cracks in the concrete I’m. Thinking between these spit sapphires or dragon wheels. I’m in the old guy crew.

Your reviews are gold. I happened to find you by chance. I'm 47 and have been itching to set up a new board. I'm a bigger dude, always have been, so I like tighter trucks. Do you have any specific bushing recommendations?

i just got these wheels

Mini logo trucks are actually great but they’re very low so using a 1/4” riser makes them about the same height as a standard Indy. Just in case you get some wheelbite you’ll know why.

If you want them to be even better get some slimeball og wheels 60mm 78a's they are super smooth on rough ground and they are really fast just make sure your padded up and have risers so you don't catch wheel bite

what size are the mini logos

Hey man I was wondering if you can review some orb pug cruiser wheels if you can that would be great but Ayy man great vids and you just sold me these wheels lol

heard so much good stuff about those wheels, where i live its all steep hills and rough as fuck concrete, should deffo get a set

Can you do simple tricks like ollie with these wheels??

Is it good for rough asphalt? I'm really interested in this one.

Are they bumpy on asphalt roads and do they feel good on feet?

What music did you use for this video?

are those 60mm?

What size are those?

Rictas are great, but if you're only cruising you need to buy a longboard. There just isn't any point in using a normal skateboard deck and trucks. You can use wheels that are far bigger (65-85mm), wider, shaper lipped for more grip, RKP trucks and much bigger wheelbases for stability. Either a cruiser longboard (a drop through), or a cruiser deck if you want something more nimble and far closer to a skateboard
