So of course I just had to try them, what is said to be the best wheels for skateboarding, the new Powell Peralta Dragons. In this video I get back on the board to see what difference they truly make from my previous wheels. How will they stack up against the Spitfire classics, and will they truly be the best wheel for me? You'll just have to watch and find out!
I personally got the 56mm 93A version of the wheel.
You can get a pair of Powell Peralta Dragons here:

I’ve been waiting since 1990 for wheels like this…I had to get them sent from the states as we don’t have them here in the uk. They are a game changer. Slide on any surface, the worse the surface the better they slide. I’ve been changing wheels forever. Since I’ve had these they are permanent. You can skate them anywhere, on any surface, park street they are as good all round wheel you’ll ever find. George Powell has reinvented the wheel.

Indigoskyfall: l hope u ordered a few sets being youre in the uk. Even here in the states theyre somewhat hard to get cause everywheres usually sold out due to them being in such high demand & the hype is very high. I havent even been able to get them yet & l live in FL

@@chris73brown they're making a few different shapes now. I just got 59 mm Ratbone Dragons. I can't stand modern conical shapes.

@@vorpalblades Awesome. Same. Thx. Im gonna see if they have 60s. I used to run ratbones back in the day. Thx for info

@@chris73brown Skate Warehouse has them. I believe they had G-Bones and one or two other old school shapes.

Thanks for doing this review I can't wait to try them.

@AMJProductions 2 года назад

Thank you for watching it! I really appreciate that. Would love to know what you think of them!

@stringsandthings511 Год назад

This was the video I needed when I was looking I did end up getting dragons about a month ago and I love them Very well made video entertaining and informative!

@shaun8062 2 года назад

By the way you were wrong. The wheel wasn't targeted to you because it was targeted to me. 🤙

@gameboysleepyd4277 2 года назад

If you move your back foot back a little more and stand on your toes instead of the middle of your foot, kinda like your standing on one foot on your toes and you'll be able to lock those manys in longer. I can't wait to get a hold of a set of these. My shop is waiting to get some in. Thanks for the review. 🤘

@chrhadden 9 месяцев назад

i got the 58mm and i cant see life without them. you should see the streets in philly before you think im exaggerating

@shaun8062 2 года назад

What size board is that you're riding? an 8 inch wide? or 8.25?

@AMJProductions 2 года назад

I was riding an 8 here in the video, but I actually just switched to my dad's old 8.25 instead and have been loving it!

@RogerBagley 2 года назад

Best Wheels Ever!

@AMJProductions 2 года назад

The more I ride them the more I've been getting used to them and liking them. It just makes skateboarding feel fun again!

The bench isn’t new to my eyes I remember me seeing that at your and your dads shop before it closed lol I miss it so much

@gamesincharacter5106 Год назад

As a freestyler i was wondering if these we errd for freestyle (since I usually use roller bones or spitfire 55mm OG classics (full) and i have to say they definitely fit the bill.

@bearpatrick9112 2 года назад

And it's recycling all these old boards my dad's broken over the years XD

@11bangbang402 2 года назад

I just got a pair of these in but they were in the 52mm and i meant to get the 56. I also skate spitfire formula four 99 duro so I’m hesitant to open the dragon wheels up before i can hear back about a possible product swap. I worry the smaller wheel won’t be something i like. What are your thoughts?

@AMJProductions 2 года назад

56 to 52 is a huge size jump so definitely go with a product swap if you don't mind the wait. I'm glad I went up in wheel size because I also went up in board size. I feel like going down in size is a tricky-er thing to get used to.

@11bangbang402 2 года назад

@@AMJProductions thanks for the feedback! I went ahead and got the V4 54mm. They will be bigger than the V1 but not as big as the 56mm. I run the Spitfire formula 4’s like I said but i also ride an 8.5 deck so the slightly smaller wheel should in theory be easier to flip with a wider board. If I’m wrong again on size then this time I’ll just ride the v4 54’s until Powell comes out with a newer formula for the dragons. Thanks again for the feedback!

@jacobbaranowski 2 года назад

They are really good 👍

@AMJProductions 2 года назад

I've been wanting to ride my board everyday now, it just makes my skateboarding feel more fun again!

@ValverdeLeov Год назад

I wonder how a bigger Dragon set would feel on a looser surfskate truck, such as a Carver C7 o a Yow Meraki. Any idea?

@RikRiorik 2 года назад

If I had other 92-93A wheels to compare to I’d be able to give a better opinion. Closest I have are 95A and 87A. The 87As I have are definitely a smoother ride but don’t really slide at the speeds I am going. The 95As are noticeably harder and still feel like they have a bit of stickyness to them. I do wonder how something like 92A Rictas would compare though. So far I prefer the Dragons to both the OJ Nomads (95A) and the OJ Keyframes (87A).

@AMJProductions 2 года назад

This is some really awesome insight and comparisons! I actually knew someone who would ride ricta clouds a bunch, wish I could get them on dragons to see the difference. Though from most of the softer and even harder wheels I've tried these just work so much better for me

@RikRiorik 2 года назад

@@AMJProductions cheers. Yeah that would be a valuable comparison. I’ve heard good things about the Rictas mentioned in comments about the Dragons but so far it just seems the Dragons are really popular and considered really good. Oh also all the wheels in my original comment are 54mm so more or less conically shaped all of them.

@lesterhalfjr 2 года назад

what hardness is the slide like? like a 99a? kind of weird question I know

@AMJProductions 2 года назад

No I think that's a totally fair question and sadly it's hard to answer. Like I said in the video it's a totally different slide than anything else and after riding these more I went back to 99a and was like why are these rock hard but not sliding as good. But it's not like it's slippery like a 101a and higher, it just feels like you can control the slide better. I hope that helps, it just is one of those things that can't really be compared.

@gianmariatasciotti Год назад

The wheel attracts me a lot but I can not understand if it is suitable for freestyle (railstand, coconut wheelie etc etc...)

@Yongsk8 Год назад

Who else thinks it would be a good idea to wax the inside of the wheels lil bit to prevent hanging up on certain grinds?

@AMJProductions Год назад

Would have to imagine it's worth a try, I do notice myself sticking on a few rail attempts, but that also just could mean needing more wax on the obstacle.

@robertrichartz3686 8 месяцев назад

geezzuzz , i cant get past the huge glasses on this skater dude . I mean is that really necessary . lol

@AMJProductions 6 месяцев назад

Yes sadly, I have cognitive retinal optic lucite structure. It affects the reflection of light to the retina producing spear shaped geometric shapes. Larger glasses and stronger prescriptions lessen the affects. Imagine skating wearing kaleidoscopes. That's how it is without the glasses. It's how it is though. The basketball player from the 70 Kareem abdul jabaar has the same thing, that's why he wore the goggles while playing.
