Nah, Nah For real. Coming from someone who only uses youtube for tutorials, this is fantastic. He taught me all the vocabulary and terminology i needed to know so that i can achieve my goal. From lip to contact patch thank you very much for the well though out and articulated video.
This is nuts. I'm a total beginner and knew nothing about wheels prior to this. In ten minutes you made me able to search specifically for what I want. Thanks a lot, its great to find happy and kind communities like this
same dude im still trying to learn to slide. realized my board has the sharp edged wheels and not the rounded ones which has been holding me back the whole time lol
All this information is golden. I was curious about turning a popsicle deck into a cruiser, and you answered that question numerous times in the comments. Thanks!
Most of the three miles to school is down hill thank you a simple Google search I can't find a straight answer from most forums on what size I should go and I've already broken my arm on my longboard rember to wear a helmet
Dude, PERFECT explanation for everything, I was thinking of taking my old skateboard that I don't use anymore and turn it into a cruiser with big wheels and now I know which ones I want, thanks, amazing video
Great video, thanks. Getting back into skateboarding and decided to get a deck for cruising. Already purchased two sets of wheels, one set with a harder compound and one set with a softer compound so I can switch between the two depending on how I want to ride. Just waiting for warmer weather to hit the streets. Cheers!
Any large soft wheel. Look for 70+ mm size and 76a-80a durometer. Honestly whatever's cheapest if you're just cruising, no need to spend the extra for specialized wheels.
For carving bowls, sounds like a sharp-lip, nonslip wheels would be better for emulating snowboard carving, where it doesn't break traction. I'll try and find out
Far away the best video about wheels!very informative.Beginner Longborders as I'm, can pick up a lot of Knowledge.Keep it up the good work Ross.!!! I watched all episodes. super cool... THX
Hey @Tactics Boardshop. It's still unclear which wheels I should get. I prefer using a short board (I think you call them park decks) to ollie this and kickflip that. However, going from point a to point b on campus can be loud (because of the hard wheels) and difficult (because of rough surfaces). What wheels can I use on my short board that'll keep things quiet, keep me jumping, and possibly provide room for a little powersliding here and there?
I have a set of Race Formulas on my skateboard. Yes on a skateboard and they are awesome, even though I got them from my neighbor's granddaughter. (70mm, 78a)
I want to be able to ride my cruiser downtown and coleman. There are some hills which makes you faster but no ridiculously high speeds and I want it to slide easier. What wheels should I get?
Hey I am getting the sector 9 gauntlet with caliber 2 trucks and was wondering if blood orange wheels would be good for some downhill and mostly sliding
Hey man, I just started longboarding and I just want to cruise around town and where I live the pavement is a little rough and I just want to ride over it fast and quiet , what do you recommend?
This is a great video! Thank you! Highly informative. I've been skateboarding for years, but I noticed that I'm not going as fast as I'd like to. Even with expensive bearings, I can't keep up with longboarders. Also, I have to push 10 times as much as a longboarder. So, I decided to get into longboarding lol. I want to GO FAST and carve!! I bought a Globe small longboard and the wheels that came on it are cambered , which is why it carves so damn nice. I love longboarding.
I have a really nice longboard but one of the wheels is broken. My plan is to get new wheels and give it to my friend as a present. They like to do small tricks and ride on the downtown road and sidewalk... what wheel do you recommend?
Basically, I just want to ride around my neighbor hood, and not go fast at all on hills, what tires should I get?? Also any advice on cheapest but good longboards? Any help is great! Thanks!
What type of Longboard wheels would you suggest for urban cruising? So a lot of on&off the board, dodging commuters and rough pavement, wanting speed and stability most of all.
how about for freestyle? a wider wheel with center core for grip or narrower wheel with side set for easy changing of grip to slide? I'm planning to buy someday and I'm into learning freestyle or dancing long boards
ok I have a downhill longboard but i don't go down big hills, just around my neighborhood there is a street that goes down but slowly so it's a hill I need new wheels and bearings so I want to go fast so what do u sugest by the way great video .
I want to get a longboard to just cruise to and from work, there are a few hills on the ride so id like to build a board i can just cruise on and curve a little and ride hills. i like the double concave boards. what do you reccomend as a full setup
So I need wheels for everyday cruising kind like the ones on a penny board so which ones do you recommend and I'm taking a regular deck and putting cruiser wheels so what trucks should I use regular or longboard trucks
i wonder if you still answer these, what would you recommend for a cruiser type board that want to start sliding to get around sharper corners? kinda tired for picking my board up so much , its a long cruiser
For someone who wants to basically cruise around and maybe downhill, would you raccomend a drop through longboard ? First time having a longbord Thank you so much
im a beginner and do not have a board yet not sure what type of style of riding that I like what wheels do you recommend I probably do cruising and maybe sliding the most
i live in a flat area and i use gullwing sidewinders trucks to cruise around on and i like to make sharps turns bc of where i live, what kind of lip do i need?
What wheels would you recommend for a street skateboards? I just wanna use some for cruising around to school. I have bones atf 56 mm but they're still pretty slow and the board shakes a lot when I come across little rocks
okay so this was very informative but for a beginner on a longboard and not really wanting to go TOO fast but fast enough to stay with the crew... im looking for wheels with good grip and that gives good speed... so if anyone can help a girl out... what type wheels would one suggest after watching a video like this one
I have a 8 inch popsicle shape board that I want to ride with cruiser wheels around 60 mm and about 45 mm in width. Would I buy trucks that are slightly shorter than the width of the deck to accommodate the wider wheel so it doesn't stick out from the edge? Thanks for the awesome videos!
Would you recommend just sawing up the nose and tail of an old skateboard I make real sharp turns and whenever I do the boards hits the wheel. Im new to skate/longboarding, thanks
what about free line skates your kinda sliding the entire time you're on them because your pushing one behind you then one in front of you but you so you'll need a wheel that breaks traction easily but a wheel that provides grip for them to actually work and propel you forward what are some suggestions you might have
I have a 46" pintail and I'm just using it for cruising (getting from point A to B) I need to carve quite a bit as my town has a lot of curves etc. any wheel recommendations?
Nah, Nah For real. Coming from someone who only uses youtube for tutorials, this is fantastic. He taught me all the vocabulary and terminology i needed to know so that i can achieve my goal. From lip to contact patch thank you very much for the well though out and articulated video.
Yeah. I'm gonna go grab some 100mm wheels.

9 years on and it’s still one of the best breakdowns of the basics
I have been skating for 30 years, you still cannot learn enough about wheels. I do have a set of Shark wheels on my big gun Ettinger, love those.
my brain just overheated with all those information. this man knows his stuff.
Finally .... A guy who know what he's talking about... Plain and simple
Awesome video. You do a great job explaining things. I learned a lot. Thank you...
All this information is golden. I was curious about turning a popsicle deck into a cruiser, and you answered that question numerous times in the comments. Thanks!
Thanks for taking your time explaining each wheel style. It really helped me figure it out to get started
Just a fantastic detailed explanation. Really helping a beginner to learn to ride a dancing board with appropriate wheels.
I have a HUGE set that I use for my skateboard when I know I'm just cruising. SUCH a smooth ride, man.
Most of the three miles to school is down hill thank you a simple Google search I can't find a straight answer from most forums on what size I should go and I've already broken my arm on my longboard rember to wear a helmet
1:14 is what I needed. Thanks dude

looking for a good wheel for my Longboard STRICTLY for cruising, what wheel(s) would you recommend?
STRICTLY for cruising. Dude get real, are you that fucking against slides, hills, tricks?
@@mr.jamster8414 its also posible that he uses it for transportation, and doesnt spend time to dedicate time to learning those skills
@@mr.jamster8414 cant rlly downhill in my area lol
@@mr.jamster8414 I mean, it is pretty hard to do anything on a longboard that isn't cruising
Any large soft wheel. Look for 70+ mm size and 76a-80a durometer. Honestly whatever's cheapest if you're just cruising, no need to spend the extra for specialized wheels.
Best video for wheel info
Halfway through the video I just noticed my board on the wall the landyachts red board with the fox on it!! Sad they discontinued those..
Thanks for the info man! Very useful because I'm starting skateboarding again after 30 odd years!!! 😉
Excellent tutorial, you covered all my questions, and unlike so many you tubers your video was exactly what it advertised itself as. Thank you.
Another fantastic informative video. I wish I'd found you guys about a month ago when I started messing around with this stuff!
This video was so excellent, gave me everything I wanted to know about choosing wheels and only ten minutes long as well.
For carving bowls, sounds like a sharp-lip, nonslip wheels would be better for emulating snowboard carving, where it doesn't break traction. I'll try and find out
Excellent! Thanks for educating this old guy who is thinking of getting his boards out of mothballs.

It would be lovely to see sliding with different durometers, but same wheel, so we can see the difference.
