I love these wheels. I bought a set to put on my regular board for just cruising around, but ended up skating them full time. The street spots here are SUPER rough. Some of them are almost unskatable. Put these on and I can push through all the rough shit with enough speed to hit the banks, stairs and ledges with no issues. They're kind of sticky on grinds and slides, but if you get a little extra speed you don't even notice.
I gotta a set but they skimped on the ink for my logo! I only got the green leaf with orange bearing cups on the wheels! So I used Bronson G3 to fill in the missing orange! Nice wheels!!
These are soft wheels for rolling smooth on rougher streets and sidewalks. The "Park" and "Street" definitions I think cause some confusion because, you can ride any kind of wheels in parks or streets. Usually when someone calls a wheel a "street wheel", they're referring to the style of skating (ie. skating ledges, stairs, rails outside the skatepark) that those wheels work best for, rather than actually rolling on a street. But those "street wheels" are also the best for skateparks too. The soft wheels that are meant for rolling smooth are referred to as cruiser wheels. So these OJ's are considered cruiser wheels. Maybe we need to come up with less confusing terms to classify wheels. 🤔 Anyway, sorry for going off on a tangent! I hope you have an awesome day! 😂 - Tim
They won't be the best for flat ground tricks because soft wheels in general are pretty unforgiving when landing tricks. If you want to do tricks, I'd recommend some harder wheels (95 - 101a).
@@mmango635 Soft wheels don't slide well, so there's no real chance of fudging tricks. So, doing tricks that involve heavy amounts of pivoting or powerslides are much more difficult, plus tricks on ledges and rails are much harder because the wheels stick to whatever you're grinding. But the biggest problem is wheelbite. With a hard wheel, many times you'll get wheelbite and not realize it because the wheel slid on the underside of the deck and you were able to recover. If you get wheelbite with soft wheels however, it'll grip the bottom of your board and send you forward. It's not impossible to do tricks on soft wheels, people do amazing things on soft wheels, but you just have to land the trick perfectly to roll away. So the general rule is, soft wheels are best for transportation, and hard wheels are best for tricks. I hope that answered your question! Cheers! - Tim
The 56mm will be smoother and faster, but it will also be heavier, and will probably need some riser pads to go with it. The 52 will also be fast and smooth (not quite as much as the 56mm) but it's significantly lighter, which makes it better for ollies and flip tricks. So it just depends on what you're looking for. I'd recommend the 56mm if your focus is transportation, and I'd recommend the 52mm if you want something smooth that you can still to tricks on. I hope that helps! Cheers! - Tim
@@tacticsboardshop thank you for the info. Really helpful 😊. I'm looking for a mini ramp and bowl wheels. But in my area the ramp and bowl a bit rough , need wheels to cover that. Thinking about a softer and bigger wheels like 56, like oj keyframe or spitfire conical full, but i don't know if spitfire can cover a rough ground or not. I'm confuse if I use the 52 keyframe will it be cover the rough ground or not, or i have to think about the size too. Thank you in advance
@@claudiachelsea20 It just depends on how rough the ground is. Is it chunky and rough, or is it just older pavement that's still relatively smooth and feels like sandpaper when you fall on it? The OJ Plainjane keyframes are soft cruiser wheels, so they don't really slide well and aren't forgiving for tricks. The Spitfires you mentioned will be hard wheels, so you'll have to get a bigger size to accommodate for the roughness. If it's super chunky then you should probably go with the softer wheels, but if it's just old skatpark ground that's still semi-smooth then you could still get some 99a wheels and go a little bigger like 56 - 58mm with some risers. Sorry if I'm bombarding you! 😄Take care! - Tim
@@tacticsboardshop it's an old concrete, still smooth but has a lot of holes, big and small 😂.. wow,, thank you so much for your explanation Tim. Really helpful,,, 🙏🙏😊😊
You dont really need to go fast to powerslide i come from a longboard freeride background if you have realy food form and technique you can slide a 78a wheel
If you're stoked on the OJ Plane Jane Keyframes, check them out on our site! Cheers! 🛹✌

how about on crooked grinds?

i love that spot near zoo!
I just got 52mm ones. I live in Alberta so the roads here suck lol

Are these wheels also good for basic tricks like kick flips,tre flips,shuv it any ground tricks?

What is the big difference between 52 and 56? Is 52 will be slower? Or they are just the same for speed. Thx

Is that even a review. Or a hay we sell these now.
Can you flip these wheels to have the graphic on the inside?
Yep, you definitely can! 👍
How wide is the 56 and 58mm ?
Both the 56 and 58mm wheels are 34.86mm wide, and both have a contact patch (riding surface) of 21.85mm. Cheers! -Tim
Tactics Boardshop thank you you guys will have an order of these and a complete coming through on my next paycheck
do these wheels powerslide well?
These will definitely be more difficult to powerslide than hard wheels, but if you're going fast enough, you can make it happen. - Tim
You dont really need to go fast to powerslide i come from a longboard freeride background if you have realy food form and technique you can slide a 78a wheel

how do you grab yourself a pair????? it's 4 wheels!
Haha! I guess you could just get the 4 and give two to your friend? 😉 - Tim
Two sets.
That’s fair. 😂
do these handle pebbles and cracks well? im tired of eating shit bc of a twig lol
These should have no problem plowing though rocks, cracks, twigs, and pine cones. 👍 Cheers! - Tim
@@tacticsboardshop thanks! definitely gonna pick up a pair for when im on campus
