Some thoughts 1. Like and subscribe 2. I don't have any proper, proper rain wheels. eg. Mach 1 Magnums are terrible rain wheels choices. The urethane just doesn't grip well in the rain. HITP magnums are what Venom skaters like to use in the rain. If I had a set of like 75a grooved Cuei Killers then maybe the difference in grip would be so much I'd trash on the Shark wheels. With the tools I have, the Shark wheels are alright
I can say that a certain someone won a certain north american outlaw that got rained on this year. This rider was the only one on shark wheels and they faced a variety of other skilled riders using many, if not all models of available rain wheels. The rider who used the shark wheels described the experience as 'being on rails' and they won the race by a very convincing margin, not dropping a single heat.
@@sirhcortsac5082 You mean Kenny Knapp who won the reddish Knob outlaw ... im not disputing that they work well/alright, but Im sure loads of people have tried them and preferred other stuff. If they were that good we'd be seeing them on the world circuit. I think I need to test way more grooved designs and different wheel formulas
@@AroniDeliquint Well, number 1 i was trying not to out poor Kenny for having and using these kook, Pennyboard, Zumiez wheels. I'm pretty sure he just had them and had no other rain wheels. Two, I genuinely think the reason these wheels are not used in competition more is because people have NOT tried them in the rain versus more conventional rain wheels because they have this stigma surrounding them, because of all the other gimmicky, outright false claims associated with this wheel (like higher roll speed due to less friction and greater durability).
They always seemed like decent rain wheels with the low rebound thane and grooves. The Eastside H2O wheels compared to these would be cool to see if it ever rains again.
It's funny you just now testing these out I just bought mine a couple days ago and got this board just to ride in the rain it's been raining for 2 weeks over here but it's not cold yet but yes they do feel a lot slower than my other Wheels mine are only 60 mm keep posting have a good one
could you do a landyachtz tugboat vs skiff review? i'm torn between the two and cannot pick one. when you put the same wheels on both 63mm fatty hawgs and the same size trucks 130mm they're very similar.
Why the hate on a cutting edge science design sucess based on nature and shark teeth that have been around 450 million years or 100 million years before trees existed! I use all terrain, all weather, boards everywhere as my travel and "one board" option and have yet to find better than shark wheels for that application. Cruising to and from spots if you can't brake slide or get through rain or fall your day session ends and your travel ends. All weather board, ceramic bearings, shark wheels, one bag travel, and a waterproof backpack and you can explore the world!
Dude, doesn't that fuck up the board? Like, the grip tape should be just totalled after that, right? and the bearings would need a wash a lots of lube. Is it worth skating in the rain, after all that? =P
Bearings with a heavy grease like Zealous can easily survive this treatment. And as long as the grip is properly adhered to the board so water can't get underneath, it'll be fine. And most decks have a thick polyurethane clear coat which keeps the wood from soaking.
The grip tape he has is Seismic lokton and dark matter, quality grip made to put up with harsh weather conditions. I’d definitely recommend running separate bearings for rain skating and standard dry stuff though.
Any decent board should be fine, though you'll have better luck against warping with a composite board. Grip tape will be pretty much unaffected especially if you are using brake soles which you should be doing. If you can roll around in the dry within a couple of hours, the bearings will dry just fine. Otherwise you can either clean them properly or just blast them with a lubricant of some kind. But it's definitely worth skating in the rain. It's fun as shit, makes you better and I think is a skill every skater should know how to do if skating open roads.

Do you think you might do future rain tests with more wheels? This was helpful - thank you!

You are crazy but I love this channel! You always have the massive grin that pushing it gives. Man, take care out there!!!
Damn this straja 2022 footage is sick

I have them on a surfskate. After it rains I go out and try and drift my surfskate board around my neighborhood. Pretty fun.
Today on Surfing254...
Looking for rain wheels at around 60mm for a mini-cruiser, would love to hear your recommendations!
🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
*You're a brave but very skilled man!*
You are mad homie😂✨💯
Thank you for the test. How would these compare to the hurfangs? I always wonder how the shark wheels would pump, if that's even possible
I rode harfangs for years and then tried these and there is no comparison, these genuinely do grip a lot more in the rain.

What size are the shark wheels 60mm Or 72mm?
Madman! Nice.
Whelp, looks like the secret's out 😬
Funny bc mine used to be traaaaash grip wise but they were worn down a bit

Does rain rust ur bearings?
Yes if you don’t clean them

I hope so I'm going to find out this year I just bought a board yesterday strictly for the rain with shark Wheels
Bearings with a heavy grease like Zealous can easily survive this treatment. And as long as the grip is properly adhered to the board so water can't get underneath, it'll be fine. And most decks have a thick polyurethane clear coat which keeps the wood from soaking.
I do it all the time, I just spin the wheels after to get the water out

Takes skill,experience and *balls* to slide rainy roads
