Andy Anderson's Nano Cubic, review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 лис 2024
- We have all seen the hype, is this the wheel to end all wheels?! Did Powell and Andy Anderson re-invent... the wheel? Come along with me as we run the wheel through its paces and maybe this can help you decide if this wheel can make your number one spot on your next setup.
Thanks for the review. The streets in Long Beach seem nice to skate
Yeah Long Beach is awesome, I loved living there. Great skate culture
might be worth testing these out on a new pair of trucks. because the shape opens up more hanger space your truck wear grooves may be a little off the wheel more than your used to. possibly could throw off some grinds or at least not able to hold them as long
I’m about a month out from a truck change, I’ll try it out then and update you. As of now I see about 2mm of extra clearance but I don’t see it grinding there because my grooves are really deep right now I’m almost at the axle is several spots, I think the curbs just fall into place for now. I’ll compare a new truck to theses when I break them out.
your skating is amazing dude! great content as well!
Sick! Thank you, always having a blast filming new stuff.
Sk8 in' is a spirit builder. It builds courage and might! Sparta!!!
Thanks for the vid! Got the wheels too a couple of days ago, even though I usually go for discounts and such. Have to say that I am very happy after first sesh, feels like I got better in some of my flip tricks thanks to them and they feel nice to ride. Had Spitfires previously and the Nano Cubics feel like a step up personally, especially since I am aiming to learn wallriding AND I enjoy some primo/railstand thingies here and there. Also want to protect my axle nuts that always seem to get destroyed, nwo I don't have to be as scared about nuts going back in when taking wheels off, a huge plus imo. Still need to feel out if the wider space for grinds has an effect, it also might.
Yeah they definitely feel good for rolling around, I’m not sure if they will replace spitfire classics for me but I am really enjoying them. I do like that it feels as though I can have a softer wheel and still slide though too.
THX for the video. Just bought OJ Elite 55mm 99a a few days ago, but after this video I have to try them!
Regards from Austria
🍻🤠
BTW: AWESOME skating! 👌👌👌
I’m a week in and have skated almost everyday and can say I really like them. I tend to flip flop a bit between Spitfire and then try a new wheel (in this case it was the Nanos)
Hello my dude. Those are some great looking wheels. They remind me of Rat Bones, but smaller . I'm gonna pick up a set! I'm going with 56mm...Yeeeeh. LB, 20 years until I came up to Portland 🤙🏽
Nice! They were great wheels definitely worth a shot. They do have a rat bones look, would look good on a a fish shape board. Been in LB for about 5 years, love it so far.
I havnt bought a board since I was like 18 yrs old. I'm 39 now. Sold it to a friend for herb.. anyways, it was a flip board. I got a board from a friend. It's trash. World industry board. Just a mediocre board that I skate to A-B. Havnt been trying to do tricks I've learned in mad long. But as soon as I saw Andy's new board shape I want it bad n wanna get those wheels. Not sure on the trucks but just want the board,wheels. Just something about his new shape makes me wanna try again.those wheels do seem perfect. Can trick and cruise.. Andy's a young dude and has reinvented wheels n board with his ideals is amazing. Cant wait till I can eventually get one. Also wanna get a bmx as well. Trying to stay active. Been out of shape but this will slowly get me more active
I’m 39, it’s never too late. The wheels are great, I haven’t skated Andy’s board but I skate a lot of boards that are similar, like eggs, and the couch shape, I like them more than a popsicle.
This makes me want to get a set of these now
I’m enjoying them, after I adjusted to how they slide I have had no issues.
I want these for my new Heroin boards but I can only seem to find the 52mm online. I wanted the 56mm since I live in the city and use my boards to commute around as well as skate!
I’ve only seen 52mm but that is the size I skate. They were fun wheels, great with a Heroin egg.
@100funsummers I normally skate around 51-53 but hey if you're saying that saying that it will be good I'll probably snag these. I was just thinking with a 10" and a 10.75" deck that 52mm would be too small!
Whoa sorry I didn’t answer this! Did you try the 52mm’s?
Your mail only comes on a specific day?lol never heard someone say mail day
Thank you 👍🏼
It's like a smaller bones 3 wheel. I like the Anderson's. Always hoped they would make a smaller bones 3.
Yeah I’m enjoying them but have never tried a Bones 3 maybe I’ll try those soon. Thanks for the heads up.
Oof that clip of you falling hitting your head. I've never seen that before. It makes a good argument for wearing a helmet but the chances of that happening are almost as low as getting hit by lightning, because you have to fall exactly straight on your back and land primo on a slippery floor, and sideways... Unlucky bro, glad your skull is fine. I wanna try these wheels but my dragon wheels are still in good condition.

Yeah it was definitely one in a million, I was ok though. It looks way worse than it was. Mostly I was just shaken up and not hurt.
I’m still going on the cubics but I like them, the look of them gets to me a bit but they are performing well.
Perfect olie 01:38 clean AF
I can thank Thrashers how to skate from 1994 for that ollie
Ty for the review and 🎉 🥂 for pet sematary shirt.
I hope the review helps! Pet sematary is one of my favorites.
I hope they make bigger sizes
I’m sure they have other sizes coming. Especially if this first run sells well.
They are coming. In other sizes
Isn’t the whole point of them to be small?
@@johndeereoli Why would that be the case?
@@blankearth5840they are called nano bruh
This is a really good video
Thanks! I had a lot of fun making this one.
So how do they compare to Spitfire F4 99A classics you were using? Would you recommend them over the SFF4 99A classics and why?
I found them to be stickier than the F4’s but not by much. Where they really are different is in their rebound, they feel a bit bouncy when getting into slides that don’t pinch the wheel like a noseslide. I didn’t find this to be bad more just an observation. Flip tricks and Ollie’s felt the same, I didn’t find the softness to be an issue there. I did like them for skating around town, but I don’t do that normally and when I do I just take out my cruiser.
I am going to go back to the classics after I burn through the nanos more because I feel like the classic shape lends itself to my style of skating more than the Nano Cubics. I would recommend the wheel to someone who wants a slight cruiser experience without losing the tricks when on a board. All in all a good wheel, but still can’t touch the classic F4 in my opinion.
Great vid!! Yeww just SUBSCRIBED FROM SARDINIA SURF AND STREET SKATEBOARDING!
Sick! Thanks, hopefully it’s the beginning many more!
I am a beginner and I want to get these really badly for sum reason? Are they good for everyone on any level?
Oh definitely I’d recommend them for a beginner, they are fun and a good place to start. I’d get these and then get some hard spitfires after and see what you prefer. With wheels being such a personal preference I think that they would work well for any level.
Gona grab a set! Thanks 🙏🏻
They will not disappoint!
they look sticky on nose slides etc on that big ledge?
That ledge is curved and it was a hot day so not the ideal testing ledge. I have been skating them for about a month now and the only thing I’ve noticed is a stickiness on metal ledges.
Killin it dude
What size axel on the trucks? 149?
I run Ace Af1 66’s they have a 9 inch axle.
@@100funsummers thank you I just saw that you gave that information already in another video. Appreciate you still replying. Your vids slap 🛹
@@pirateninjacat85 sick, stoked you like them! I’m always happy to give out info so don’t hesitate to ask.
I love skating on brick
Yeah me too, especially going fast on it!
@@100funsummers it’s just pure satisfaction. And I don’t have to time my pop for the cracks in the cement, cause it’s all cracks!
🔥 📛 👨🚒 awesome review
Thanks it was a lot fun to try them out.
I also really liked the nano cubis because they simply have a nice tread and also stick out well over the truck. But I find the wheels really ugly and 52 mm is a bit of an adjustment for me. I now have my 56 mm slimeballs on it again and I continue to use OJ super juice on it for cruising.
Yeah they have a bit of a novelty look, like marshmallows. I enjoyed them but wouldn’t get them again. I learned from riding them I like classic shapes with rounded edges more, makes it easier to do certain slappies, the lock in flat edge on the cubics wasn’t for me. I just got done with the Bones x97’s same urethane as the cubics but a more classic shape, I really enjoyed those. Currently though I’m trying out the Spitfire OG classic’s 52mm.
Are these any different from the bones X 97’s?
Yeah the contact patch is wider
I'm like how did he fall on that stair jump. If you look carefully, nasty wheel bite. That's why a lot of us need to lose a little weight. Love to you all shredders.
Absolutely wheel bite, I am about 215 and ride super loose trucks, basically asking for it lol
@@100funsummers Ha. Honest man. I'm just under 200 now. Had low vitamin D and I could not lose a pound, but doing better now. Hey bro, love to you and yours, and great skate success.
Yeah those trucks are hella loose 😂 I just got back into skating and skating down anything makes me think I'm going to break boards and more if I gain more weight 😂😂
@@sean640 Tell me about it. There's quite a bit more slam with 50 lbs extra on your board. Best of skate success and health to you and your fam.
I love my formula x wheels. Just wondering if anyone compared those two.
As soon as I burn through these Nano Cubics, the formula X is next. Which are you using the x97 or 99?
I think they're the same materials just different shape...
I've now also tested the Dragon Wheels and Nano Cubics and am now interested in the Bones. I actually have some here now in 99 a and I'm curious to see how they feel in comparison@@100funsummers
I thought these were on the harder side like 97
Yeah they are 97 but definitely not hard.
Looks great is a little heavy to do trick l guess but for cruiser is awesome
I havnt had any issues with the weight since I got used to them, but it took about a day of adjustment.
@2:00 Dude wear a helmet before you’re drooling in the ICU.
Yeah that one scared me for sure!
great review! good skating!
Long Beach!
Absolutely
Schmokeddddd 😮😅😊❤🎉
Definitely
you feel better than dragons?
Yes, I do like them more than the standard Dragons, they are a bit harder but still have a little softness for the crusty spots. The original Dragons were just too soft for me.
They feel great but if you love the revert slide of the Dragons these are grippier on most surfaces due to a wider contact patch. I am a slide heavy skater so the Dragons have a slide all their own and last. The Nanos feel nothing like the slide of the Dragon but is rock solid enough and slide . Basically two different wheels and if you are doing wallies and freestyle tricks and such get Nanos. If not and you like a better sliding wheel get Dragons. Just my experience others may have different
@@alstone5005 thank you. i´m in love with the dragons and your words are very help full
@@petetebond I simply cannot wallride and don’t do primo tricks. Have ambitions to coconut wheelie but way way down on my list of to do. If you are in that boat there is nothing I prefer about this wheel over the Dragons. Unless you REALLY love axle nut protection and really think the Dragons are great but are too slippery stick with Dragons. I bought two of these on release and would trade both for two new sets of dragons. I might keep one for my freestyle setup (which btw doesn’t get used much or enough)
I’m going to have to try another set of Dragons, because so far I’m liking these more and I think it’s because they are just a tad harder.
The formula alone
Be careful dragons have taken me out multiple times
They are awesome but when you are used to say spit or SPF
When you put your weight into it you can get unexpected slip outs
Yeah I have noticed that, it’s funny sometimes they stick but other times they slip. Normally it’s one of the the other.
get some f4
I’ve skated 100’s of F4’s. Tablets, connicals, con fulls, classics. Sometimes it’s nice to switch it up. I’ll probably ride some more F4’s after this.
: Spacers will not fit these wheels. 🐢 🛹 🐢 🛹 🐢 🛹
I don’t use spacers so I didn’t check that, but good info!
Spacers fit perfectly in these wheels. Absolutely no difference to other wheels in that regard
