Ricta Clouds - Smooth Cruising 

Dude 💀💀

Fuckin hell this shouldn’t have got me the way it did

😆

Lol dude

I love this type of humor 😂

It’s cuz there cruiser wheels u ain’t supposed to do tricks

So these wheels is okay to learn tricks? Like Ollie, Kickflip and Shove it?

@@faiz7180 Yes, just not power slides, reverts, etc… nice they’re really grippy.

​@@jadonweissmann2153 I know your comment is 2 years old, but I just wanna clear some stuff up for viewers tuning into this video nowadays. Cruiser wheels are indeed made for tricks, especially ones around this size. How else are you gonna ollie over a curb while cruising through the city? I should note that wheels this soft aren't made for some specific tricks like reverts (depends on if you let the wheels touch and slide on the ground while doing it, not much of a problem if your reverts are in the air) and powerslides, they will absolutely throw you and damage the wheels. Now, once you go over 60+ mm in size, they start becoming longboard wheels. Those are not recommended at all for tricks, unless you're doing longboard dancing stuff or something, but that's a completely different can of worms.

Do they still feel good with tricks?

Theman Dane yes they feel great with tricks 👍🏻

Question are they extremely loud

Ashleplays 1 i ride clouds, they sound the same as any other wheel really.

Are they bouncier than normal wheels?

Is it ok for tricks? Sliding?

@@khoaidol I can do kickflips and other stuff just it is more difficult , But they are very grippy and you might just rip a chunk of your wheels if you powerslide with a 78a. I would recommend if you want to do tricks you should get a slightly harder wheel, like 86a or 92a

@@ryd.wav27 thanks mate. I will go with 86a

@@khoaidol but I still wouldn’t really recommend powerslides because the wheel might just go bye bye if you try to power slide of rougher ground

If you hit small rocks do you go flying or is it like a longboard / cruiser wheel and just rides over no problem? Thanks

@@kirangill0 I don’t know the size of the op’s wheels but I’ve got 78a 60mm and they ride literally over everything.

@@darkwriter_xx94 ty

ok u sold me on the wheels. Time to ordef 😂

ikr, yesterday i was riding and there was no other way to go besides this little drop down that went onto dirt for like 5 seconds and these wheels just rode straight through it like it was nothing haha

Is it okay to learn tricks like ollie, kickflip and shove it with the 54mm 78a?

@@faiz7180 when it comes to tricks, you can use virtually any wheel type from 50-55mm. you can do an ollie on 60mm but takes more effort. The softness of the wheels do allow you to give a nice push and ride for longer, which does help with doing tricks on the road while riding. The best thing about the 78a wheels is that when you're on the street, you have a smooth ride which can make you ride longer with each push. Better than 98a wheels that go slow on a street, and makes you push more often.

Are they silent?

@@damargis They aren't as quiet as longboard wheels, but not nearly as loud as 98a wheels.

Just bought wheels today that weren’t these and I am now regretting that decision

Really?

what bearings do you use tho?

​@@niansxsa I think a brand called Dog Turds

@@winnermindset4960😆😆

How they feel? Bout to order some spitfire/orbs/ and those

Pls update

honestly guys i recommend that you buy too. it works as it’s intended. it’s really silent for cruising, and you can do tricks too. it’s the perfect wheels for me

how are they? have you tried them out yet? i am not sure between 78a and 86a

@@felixstephanmusic I like the 86 they go over really rough roads easy and pebbles and rocks are nothing for them !

i use the ricta cloud reds and i love fuckin around and cruising in bowls

Wheels ?

I’m taking your word for it and buying the 92a

aaron names ??

@@jaycekastner4340 hes asking u how U been liking them my man

aaron names i couldn’t find them and ended up getting oj 92a but I love the 92a and they are prolly the same.

Hi is for anyone 92a clouds slow on grinds? Traction feels while grinding?

How's doing basic tricks on them? I have the 78a and they're pretty bouncy so i find ollies a little more difficult than on hard wheels?

@@JJ-el6qx same bro when I bought them I didn’t know shit about wheels . They are super fast comfy my Ollie are good but I can’t heel flip anymore and can’t learn any tricks, power slide are impossible and fs and bs are really difficult. But I still want to ride with ricta, next time I think I’m going to buy 54 or 52 92a wheels from ricta. But rn my experience is really bad

@@fahim7465 yeah i think going for a slightly harder wheel would be best. I wanted them for cruising originally so i got the 78a for a smoother rider but now I'm seeing that people have no problem with the 92s so i might look into that too. Cuz normally i ride 99a.(in a different brand) Powerslides are definitely harder in these, i haven't tried them myself on these wheels but I've seen plenty of comments stating so.

Do your feet feel nice when using them

@@notyouraverage1saiah660 like does it prevent vibrations you mean? Yeah it's not bad, i ride it on regular street and it feels ok, but once you get on badly paved really bumpy streets you definitely still feel it.

I'd say nose/tailslides are almost unbearable. Maybe not impossible but they definitely need tons of wax. Would not reccoment for slide tricks.

86a

I use 53mm 86a mainly for cruising and some ollies. If you're going to skate parks a bit I'd definitely go with 86a since 78a might feel too sticky in a park.

Yup longboard wheels i think

Bruh...what underground skatepark you been hiding in..? They got 90mm and even 100mm wheels for boards...

@@BendApparatus I'm from Mexico bro, they're not common here unless they're off road wheels

@@BBdandarkness well yes, the 100mm are for all terrain (not quite off-road) the 90mm are standard size for electric longboard. As far as for a true skateboard...I don't think anything above 58mm qualify for "street skating" more for cruisers...

yes you can’t slide think of it like eraser material great for about everything else tho

I would say skating a park feels too sticky with a 78A. And nose/tailslides are almost impossible with such soft wheels. I prefer a hard wheel for parks. But you might enjoy a 92A if you're gonna skate park quite a bit. And yes, they feel very different compared to a 100A, riding on street ground feels so much smoother. Even rough ground is no problem.

... .... ... ... ..

actually they are meant for just that. these ones in particular the chromes are being used to try and beat the 100mph longboard speed record. thats a terrifying defect

They’re great

how are they on rough ground?

@@taylor3878 they're pretty good for rough ground. I got the 92a because of the variance of the streets around here. I had some spitfire 101a and those were like being electrocuted on rough ground.

im a beginner too so from what i've been seeing they're pretty good

Yes 92a good hybrid between two opposite worlds

Probably not

yeah rictas still going but as they are an american based company like most popular skate companies they have been hit pretty hard by the covid shut downs especially in california where they are house. cali is one of the strictect most fascistly closed down states in america right now

52-53mm 101a

idk but my guess is the chrome one is lighter because it have chrome center

Yes for 56mm definitely risers needed 1/8 or 1/4 depending on how you feel about being higher balance stuff

Im using 1/4 for 54-56mm wheels

Its not necessary but i would highly recommend it. I skated the 56mm clouds 78a without risers and it did bite a little bit. I put some 1/8 risers and it feels great. Its all up to you but i would put risers on them for shit roads lol.

Cactus Jack ended up getting 1/8 and it’s running smoothly so far:)

E.N. Glad to hear it helped.

92a

86a to me. the ricta cloud reds feel like you are riding on basically nothing when combined with suspension trucks and have no trouble sliding even at slow speeds

Sdo you recommend the 54 or 56mm in this case

Yeah probably just like 1/4 inch risers you should be good

charmander for sure just tested out some 1/8 risers for the 56mm and it worked out well. Thanks

it depends on if you have low medium or high profile trucks honestly

They are pretty good. I ride on pretty rough streets and they are definitely alot smoother than like a 99A (obviously). I find that 86A are the real sweet spot for me though.

Ye

Hi longboard looking wheels starting around 40mm width

But the wider wheels you get the smoother and faster you ride through rough surfaces. Same with size of wheels

Little effort riding in your case is buying longboard wheels 68-75mm 78-80a. Ricta has 73mm Wester Storm Clouds 78a for example

Im riding 75mm wheels with 2 1/4 risers with standard street boards. Also its possible with 1/4 risers

@@acgwestsidesb6410 I just found some Ricta Clouds that 60mm and bought them. I think they're discontinued so I really wanted them. Only 5 sets left.

Yes, all wheels should fit any bearings-they’re universally sized. Now go skate!

mini super juice if its only about the cruise. I love riding on them more than anything else. While its possible and I did some kickflips on it before, you wont find me doing any tricks on those wheels.Apart from ollies ofc. Shuv its on these wheels is a mystery too me and im not willing to learn it lol On clouds I will easily still have most of my flat tricks down, but they ride isnt as enjoyable. Still rides great on shitty ground. Obv these are tradionionally shaped so it helps, but OJs will get over bumpbs better (i have both)

If you dont do tricks. Buy longboard wheels 70-80mm 78-82a duro with wider contact patch

Generally with softer wheels you're going to have a harder time sliding, they're just more grippy. You're going to want to kick turn rather than revert. You can still trick for sure though.

Might consider getting something closer to 86a though, a bit of a better compromise, unless your roads are really rough!

@@kais2345 okay thank u so much☺ the ohio roads are pretty crappy lol😆

yes you can. clouds are a pretty nice special formula that allow for good proper slides while still being soft and gripp as you ride

@@kais2345 yes the 86a red ricta clouds are pretty much perfect for street and park skating

Have you heard of clear grip tape?

Someone here is paranoid!! Me outta here!!

yeah, i was surprised when i bought these (same size and duro, not chrome) becuase i wasn’t losing speed like on a 100a wheel.

Bought these. They are perfect for our streets. This is going to be a long relationship. Thx Ricta

What hardness did you guys get? Any cons to them? Thanks

@@chef0335 78a would be ideal for cruising, 92a more for skateparks and smoother terrain anything in the middle would be a hyrbid of those 2, 78a wheels allow for roughed terrain riding but aren't that great for tricks, and vice versa for 92a

NotDirk thanks!

Santa cruz

Totally different wheels for different purposes

@@born2lose803 but that doesnt answer my question

Steven Austin depends on what you want to do. Formula Fours are more for Parks, Tricks and Powerslides and the Clouds are more for Rough surfaces, smooth riding and cruising

@@born2lose803 rough terrain, crappy footpaths is what Im up against where I live, so probably the Clouds

F4 99a will be super slow in your purpose. It's hybrid wheels territory

Yuurfavorite Sewer rat how did they get ruined from a brand new street?? That’s weird man, just bought mine today and I got kinda anxious now

Yeah man

Yuurfavorite Sewer rat damn, well my streets gets redone in 1000000-100000000 years so I think I’m good

•uwuz• Uwuz• ok if ur streets do get redone be careful

@@supman5469 probably went through the asphalt too early and got tarred

yeah

Nah. I can still do ollies, kickflips, shuvits and basic stuff like that. No problems.

Because they're soft like clouds...

Yes Michael Relevant doing review about this wheels in softer duro. 92a much better for tricks

They are very good. Im didn't surprised

yeah dude these could work for that actually get the softer wheels the 78a's, you gonna go through loads of bearings though unless you wanna clean em off and regreaze them every day or two you ride

@@twilightsparkle75 well that's reasonable I suppose 😅🤷‍♂️
