Round wheels vs Square Wheels! Does it Matter????? 

ppl have grinded he off ;) youknowwhatimean??!! ;) ;) ;;))

Same thing happened to my garden fence. I got too hot.

Lmao

Well sometimes... ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!! fucking clouds...

🤣🤣🤣👍

he mentioned it in other video

Good point but square wheels do this as well. All wheels especially F4 will get wider as they get smaller. Makes sense if you think about it!

Try oj nomad 95a . Great on uk streets

99a formula four spitfires, sorted for this town 🙌🏼 round works for me 👌🏼

This is my sale point too when I'm looking for wheels. Don't want to get hard wheels because when I go cruising it vibrates like mad

Yeah I could never get away with small round wheels in LA, I preferred 56/54 squares.

I got two wheel setups, one for cruising and other for tricks once i get to the spot. Cruising i run 60mm 78a sqare. I'm more into transition, so runing natural higher trucks does not bother. But man, big soft wheels changed the game for me. Since got them I have not pebbeled into the shadow realm neither once.

The one thing that helps is focusing on skating switch if you can manage with the injury

@@cbdpiggy195 thats true, for months i could only fakie ollie it was less painful than regular ollies. Switch out of my zone 😂

I haven't fully healed from any injuries ever.

@@minedustry I fractured my foot and dont think I'll ever be the same.

As you get older it takes longer to heal and longer for you to get up when you fall....

qqq

Imagine a document of everything Ben has taught us we would all be masters of skateboard theory

Try em wtf

Look up his brother Ted, strong skate genes in those guys

Is Ted his evil twin? that would be sick

Many , so many are it’s a thing

Love me some Spit tabs.

thats what i used to ride in my late teens early 20s. When i stepped up to 8.38 i jumped from 139 indys to 159. Bc i wanted more hanger lock in and i wanted to do cross hanger nose grinds. I wound up gravitating to the SFW mike anderson and conical full shape....bc it was the only way i was able to still get great pop and load up pop similar to when i skated an 8.13. Yet my bag of tricks plummeted as well from the 8.75 axles in exchange for faster skating, bigger airs, and more transition skating/all terrain. Still TBH if i were to ride a smaller board id probably ride ventures or thunders just for the lower weight and more "street" oriented feel and response. I never had more tricks on lock though than when i skated 8.13 and 149 thunders and 139 indys. One day ill grab an 8.38 ishod symetrical board since it has a smaller nose/tail than a typical deck...finally got a set of 144 mid hollows to return my popsicle skating to a more standard form. If i like skating normal size hangers i may try 8.35" AF1s with an 8.38 deck. IF not ill jump back to 8.75 to try the ace 60s. To compare them to venture 6.1s and the 159 standards. Stuck with 8.75" for so long bc id ride them on a 8.38 or 8.5" deck...then a 8.8-9.25 shaped deck or quiver up once i got the ventures. So i just really got used to riding trucks that size regardless of my board. Now that ive hit 30 i want to put a setup together to see if i can approach doing a wide array of fliptricks i once mastered just for personal goals sake. Plus it would be nice to have a few more GO to tricks at the local pyramid.

Thanks 👍

lol your avatar. i haven't seen that image since 2007.

Omg that profile picture! 🤣

Tom!! Where have you been man! You’ve missed so much that has happened in the world

🤣 it happens

@@bendegros Youre a well rounded guy!

He’s not square!

😂 I see what you did there

This is so accurate when I try to kickflip with conicals I legit sometimes don’t even pop lol but with classics I get a snappy pop and idk whats behind that but classics def do work better for flips

You’re making this up right?

@@Capitan_Chaos yeah F4s are trash

You haven’t tried the bones x97 formula yet then!

I think the same way

No problem 👍

Got some Nike dunks coming soon :)

@@bendegros, right on!

@@bendegros how possibly did you get em in 2021 ? haha i used to have some three years ago maybe but now it's not in my possibilities :B

@@bendegros please review them

Big time, suede cupsole mid or high; like moccasins with basketball shoe support.

They're cut on both sides.

420 subs, nice.

@@LargePlanet thank you. I appreciate you checking them out.

I just started skating again about 10 months ago after a 10 year hiatus, so I’m right there with you! I skated classic shaped wheels for a few months and switched to conical fulls after that. Definitely lost some consistency in some flip tricks but gained some consistency in longer grinds. I’d say the difference is negligible in the short term but definitely noticeable over time as you look back at your bag of tricks as a whole. May switch back to the rounder shape for my next wheel. I also think growing up skating the skinnier rounded wheel plays a significant part in this discussion.

it really is a great when he posts

Oh! And that Nollie back heel on the euro was, as the Easter Canadians would say, Tre Magnifique! 🤘🏽😅🤘🏽

U sound privrlaged 😂😂😂

@lifted 710 Fukk yeah bro

Yep I try to get skate-gear for my Father’s Day, bday and Xmas or just treat myself to have a couple setups. But Haven’t had to buy bearings cuz I take care of them.

@lifted 710 ok gramps, thanks for the insight. Go drink your Pabst blue ribbon or some shit.

@@memorysometimers3067 I tried to, but I just hate cleaning bearings

How often do you rotate?

99as should be less slippery

Also, would like to mention the riding surface being pushed out on the wheel allowed me to ride a shorter truck like an independent 129 on decks that are 8" or more without losing stability.

I had plantar fasciitis a few years ago and it took me forever to figure out that was causing it. I eventually narrowed it down to the squishiness of vans pop cush insoles. I don't know what shoes you're skating, but if you're skating vans maybe try something more solid, and with a raised heel

@@unity679 I've been skating sk8-hi's for the last 2-3 months and I think that's exactly the issue, never had it before trying vans and popcush insoles. Thanks for the tip.
