One of the Cleanest intros on UA-cam
Ayyy appreciate it Ricky! 🙌🏼
Wait there was a intro
@@kaceyp8860 it’s like the first 10-12 seconds of him just showing clips of him skating the product
Respect dat super 8mm film look :3
Whoever is handling the edits, we see you 🤙
Someone give this man a million subs!!
Ayyy thanks so much 👍🏼
@@concrete-waves You deserve it!!!
I did my part sir
Living in rural Oregon, these wheels have been insanely helpful. Trying to go over rough roads and gravely bits is so much easier with them.
I use them for my longboard with gullwing sidewinder II's and I enjoy them. I bought them for when I lived in a place where people tracked a lot of gravel onto the regular roads
Dang that sounds like a crazy setup!
So it’s a carving off-road set up?
I was thinking of using these on my Revenge Alpha trucks down the grass hill in my yard. Seems like some sweet backyard fun if you can't make it out to the skatepark at the moment!!!!!
Sidewinders is a 'Big IQ' move for these wheels. No riser adapt needed and the extra double Gulls are an ideal suspension system for the skateboard design.
Heck, I've even seen a board (2×) that the trucks were just on the nose and tail in different spots on the deck to accommodate a set of 99mm wheels. The second time, it was a set of 85mm and the guy I told the idea I witnessed just went out and built it the next day.
Also, in my collection is (somehow) a BMW StreetCarver and a Cinnamon Toast Cereal box that holds an actual box of cereal. (Or Cheez'Its)
boii I’m here just for the intro 🔥
Ayyyyy! Appreciate all the support 🤙🏼
I have an Atom longboard with these wheels on them for commuting on the rough, pothole ridden, manhole cover and or subway grating every 20 feet, New York City streets and I have to say they've lived up to my expectations. They shine on rough pavement and sidewalks. Don't expect these wheels to take you very far on soft dirt or thick grass. They may market them as "off road" but they don't go as far as you'd think. Stick to tires for real off road boarding.
Be careful of loose gravel. The person who made this video is right. I had my board for about 3 weeks when I was on a city street and I hit a patch of scattered gravel, not enough to notice, and my board skidded sideways and I slipped out falling back onto my elbows embedding that gravel into them. Ironically had I been on soft dirt that gravel wouldn't have mattered.
All in all I'm happy with the board, it is heavy because of the wheels but I'm 6ft 1in and I lift weights so not an issue for me. If you want to ride rough streets then these are good wheels to get. They roll forever and the ride is very stable on a drop deck board. Don't get them for any other type of board because you'll just wear yourself out stepping down to push from the height you'd have to have a board to put them underneath . My main complaint would be just watch out for loose gravel while the wheels are still new, the traction problem improves with use. I would highly recommend them for city use.
Awesome info Jef, thanks for sharing this with everyone. Glad to know we have a similar experience with them
which wheels are better for a normal skateboard? all terrain or shark wheels?
I swear you're sometimes following my search history. I was literally just looking at these wheels yesterday on Amazon and thinking about getting them. Thanks for the review!
Man your videos are amazing! Very honest, to the point with very clear explanations.
I’ve been riding these wheels for a year now, and I thought they would be good for wet patches, but beware they really slide on any wet surface. Otherwise they’re nice for really patchy or rough roads.
I thought at the start it was a type of an intro into the review, but it was the actual review!
Straight to the point! Love it.
Dude it’s been a second since I’ve gotten to watch your vids cause of life stuff. Good to be back!!
Totally understand Mason. Appreciate you coming back and watching tho 🤙🏼
Your videos are super helpful, and they saved me a ton of money. I was able to get into long-boarding/cruising knowing what to look for ahead of time, and this was simply invaluable.
Thank you a ton for these videos, hands down the highest quality skateboarding gear content coming out.
epic intro as always
Mikey crushed it! 🤙🏼
Dude - you are doing a great job - real humility with loads of good tips and review. thanks man
I started skating because of you I love it. I'm learning on a landyatchz tugboat I hope your videos blow up soon!
love the content keep up the good work in these hard times
Thanks Miles. Stay safe 🤙🏼
Dude, great video, short and share. Thank you
Stoked to hear that! Thank you 🙌
Yo I just bought my first longboard and I’m loving your channel. Keep it up man!!
I've had these wheels 2+ years now, and the primary continuous benefit for me is giving me the reassurance that: the crappy cracked bad pavement, bad pavement-to-sidewalk transitions, random pebbles, debris, sticks, branches, pinecones, and all those things that you know could send you tripping off your board ... they just don't matter. And Since I use my board daily to get to work as my A to B, that comfortable, reliable functionality is priceless.
I had just seen these online a while back, glad you got to em
Love the end credit 😅 quality video dude.
i recently got an MBS longboard with these wheels and i love it. i pretty much only ride popsicles or larger cruisers. The tires are definitely soft and bouncy but if you're just riding down a hill or street these are legit! the most comfy ride i've ever had on a board. definitely meant for a long board with the dropped trucks because i cant imagine these on anything else. the riser you would need on anything would probably be massive. it's like driving a monster truck on the street.
I saw these in our local skate shop. You gave a great review on them. My streets here are rough asphalt and I wanted to skate conveniently on my street, it's so rough. I think I will give these a try. Thanks
Intros always smooth 👌🏻
Thanks Johnnie 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Yooo, awesome video as always! Picked up a yow surfskate thanks to you! Greetings from Switzerland.
Bruh, who dislikes informational video reviews they should be thankful for someone like you who's buying
these products to tell us if they're worth buying or not. Thanks for the content keep it up 👍
First time here. Very nice review! I'll be back for more reviews by you!
Ouuuiii Okay! , Imma check these out 🙏🏽 thanks for the review!
Awesome job mate. Reallly good. Loved the juggle at the end😂. Almost at 50k you got this!! Was wondering if you could possibly do a overall bearings video. Keep it up!!
Thanks man! Really appreciate you sticking around 🙌🏼 I’ve always been curious about testing different type of bearings 🤔
@@concrete-waves all good dude. You got the great content!! But yeah was just wondering stuff about them like which ones are good and when to replace and clean and all that sort of stuff
awesome video! personally I love these wheels because you never have to worry about rocks or cracks stopping you. but like you said loose dirt it does not work very well. Any other surface that is slightly harder or more compact these wheels are a blast on!
So like gravel hiking paths?
Good video. Very informative. Thank you.
Shred Shack Forever
Appreciate you 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thank you so much you helped me out a lot
Love your channel, can't wait for you to be at six digits.
Also #250gang
Appreciate it man! 🤙🏼
I kinda like big heavy wheels for normal cruising. Comfortable and can roll really far with each push. Never tried these though.
Yeah they definitely make sense in certain situations. But they’re just so heavy
Dang, you caught me lacking. Uploading when I just went to sleep isn't fair 😂
I love these wheels for riding over very rough asphalt and cracks. But, they’re not for off-road. This video is spot-on.
love your channel homie. could you make a video about protective gear recommendations?
hey thanks for the review was guna buy cloud wheels for my eboard but only wanted them to go on dirt lol this saved me alot of money
best skate review channel, keep up the awesome work 👍❤️
Waaaa! These look awesome. I live in Sweden and it is so crushing when they put gravel down in the winter. Stays on the ground till spring and kills my asfalt skating joy. Defo getting some.
Thanks for the video! I just ordered these off Amazon, hopefully they help my ride feel smoother, I live in a city where they do not up keep the roads very well so it is very bumpy haha
How are the wheels in bad conditio roads?
Been waiting for a video about those wheels.
Dope! Glad we could cover it 👍🏼
@@concrete-waves yeah I was decided if I should buy those or not and thanks to your review sounds like I'm better off with oj and dogtown cruiser wheels. Thanks again for helping me safe money lol
Setup the 120mm on the (/my old) landyachtz Evo 2ys ago, never did regret my choice. Really carvy! For mushy dirt etc, you just have to "lean back".
Most fun I've had has been in snowy conditions on the streets. Really gives you control over your slides/slashes.
Oh man snowy conditions sounds crazy lol
Nice vid, I use shark wheels often because of rocks and twigs and rough terrain, might give these a go
Super super helpful again with great production value. I like the fact that the type of ground was covered. I thought these could be taken off road but if not compact and Billy was getting pitted no way my heavy ass won't sink in. I was curious about these wheels after watching John Hill skate these but after this I'm not buying them.
Thanks Dean, appreciate you always watching and dropping a comment. Glad I was able to clarify for ya 🤙🏼 Enjoy your weekend!
I use these for my electric longboard and they do really well on shitty roads but you do feel every single bump and crack on the asphalt
Nice! I'd be curious to use these on an electric setup
I’m tempted to get some of these for my drop through cruiser cause the roads is really coarse and crappy in my area.
Je vis au Québec et je roule avec ces roues depuis 2 ans. Comme il dit dans le vidéo, pas idéal en forêt à moins que ça soit ultra-compact, mais sinon pour traverser une bande de terre ou gravier et revenir sur l'asphalte, ou encore passer par dessus une roche ou une branche, c'est merveilleux ! Je continue de rouler avec ça parce que je ne peux plus m'en passer !
I've just built my crusier, and I'm thinking of buying this instead the ones that I had
Sick video btw!!

Love your content, keep it up :)
Thanks Ryan. Appreciate that bro!
This intro made my subscribe. No cap.
I thought about trying these for a dirt pump track, maybe workable with the compacted soil. Thanks for the review!
I’d be curious to know how they do on a dirt pump track. I think they would be solid! Thanks for watching Mark 🤙🏼
I’ve used these on my Bamboo setup with 1inch risers, mind you this is a every heavy setup. We go camping often these work great at campgrounds and parks. If you want a quick ride around the camp do it. My only complaint is with catching water.
intro clean as always
Thanks for doing this.
Of course! And thanks for watching 🤙🏼
Thank u so much video helped me
Sounds like the perfect rural, run-down industrial town wheel honestly. If they're good for rough compact surfaces, that's the kind of stuff i grew up on, and you really need SOFT soft wheels to ride comfortably on that janky pavement and dirt. I used to get cramps in the soles of my feet because of the vibration, so if these help cut that down at all it'd be a win.
Any time i hear about "all-terrain" wheels i have to wonder who in their right mind plans on taking their longboard on a dirt path or whatever anyway, like "oh we're climbing Mount Everest today? bet bro lemme grab my longboard"
I would just get a mountain board tbh
I mean. I’m looking for wheels that are a bit better for compact gravel paths cause some places in my town are easier to get to via those paths like my buddies place.
@@Nox113Gamez I would say get off road wheels, some are pretty big big and almost the size of mountain board wheels
The only downside is there pneumatic tires. Meaning they need to have air in them like bike tires.
The pavement in my area is pretty rough in most spots. I got these wheels for my dropdown longboard and they did the trick. It’s easier to roll around on these.
I find they allow my to bomb hills on dirt roads, so that's pretty rad. They definitely can't go in soft dirt but I find they work great on rough terrain, gravel, and over small to medium sticks. These eat death pebbles for breakfast.
I have a second set.... The wheels themselves are around a 55 width with only a 35mm contact patch.
All terrains in any form are absolutely useless on grass, gravel, and rough, under maintained (paths).
My wheels are the Ricky Glazier MBS set, currently. I had an original set of black colored ones, which absolutely start to chunk away on really rough, bumpy asphalt. As for traction, they really only barely make the cut..., they are fine on certain trails in my locality, and that excludes any time it rains (why are you skating in the rain and risking warping your board while screwing the bearings to zilch?)
So... My rating is a solid 4 outta 5. My testing conditions are more extreme and adequately test most of the durable boards I've managed to build throughout my simple 15 years experience. I've skated through rain, on greenways & bike trails, and even a few highways and sections of interstate around about 15 states and about 35 WalMart corners. Would I do all that over again with MBS All Terrain? Absolutely, and I would even do it across the entire country.
Now, my caveat is thati dwell in the desert where there is plenty of hard-packed, baked up dirt paths, and similarly less functional sidewalks than ought even be allowed. My particular notion when I build a deck is that one day, it will be capable of crossing several hundred miles eventually, which is easiest accomplished while riding on the bike trails, especially through Metropolitan areas. Not all of the trails are smooth paved and occasionally not even at all. Avoid rocks, dodge tree roots, and if you CAN jump the board across the small stream, don't.....
But yes, I will testify that I have owned two sets of these wheels and the current featured set from MBS & Aussie man Ricky Glazier are easily my go to deck on the Sector 9 Waimea Bamboo on Signature Benji Carver Gullwing Trucks is my first grab over every other skateboard I own.
I have these wheels and I ride on the side of the road in like the bike lane great for picking up and carrying speed especially with the right bearings. Wet conditions wise depending on the board definitely will need splash guards they like to sling water at you.
Great vid
I like this video. Never seen you around before
Thanks Travis. Appreciate that!
I've had a set of these wheels for a long time now actually, and in my experience they are most certainly best suited to rougher pavement, not dirt or gravel. I run them on a 10 ply drop down longboard deck thats about 40 inches long with 11.5 inch wide trucks, and the whole setup easily weighs in at around 15 pounds. However, in my personal opinion these wheels most certainly aren't bad especially if you live in more of a mountainous are with less than ideal roads, but I certainly wouldn't put these wheels on any normal park deck or cruiser.
All in all I think that the 75mm range is best for most longboarding applications, and 70mm through 60mm in a softer duro is better for cruisers. Going all the way up to 100mm is more of a niche size for an uncommon application.
Great info, thanks so much for sharing your experience with everyone
Great info. I also was thinking a drop down board would be a great fit for these wheels and my rough street. Thanks
What 10 ply deck you got?
@@fRiTs840
Honestly man that's a hard question to answer, first and foremost it's not a deck I purchased, it was gifted to me, original owner said it was to heavy for him to really get any air with.... Which is weird because it's a longboard, granted I've taken this thing to shred a skatepark before but it's really only good for ripping through the bowls in that regard.
Second, having gone back and looked at it, it's actually a 13 ply deck with 2 fiberglass layers sandwiching the main stack, which I suppose technically makes it a 15 ply but eh.
If I had to guess, i think it was actually a mountain board before I got my hands on it, certainly would explain the overbuilt nature of the deck, and the strange comment about not being able to get any air with it.
Sorry I can't be of more help here, the buddy that originally had it has since moved out of state so i can't just ask him either. If you can find anything like it then more power to ya bud.
@@shieldcaptain54 thanks man, i appreciate the reply!
Was just wondering cause I'm a heavier dude and it sounds like it would suit me awesomely
I have these and they are great on compact dirt roads.
You hurt your hand juggling it lol
Lol dude that hurt 😂
I just got mine delivered. I am a longboard surfer but I haven’t had use of my car so I usually skate on the side but I constantly worry about going downhill on sidewalks and on streets and hitting an object or crack that might cause my board to stop. I hear these wheels correct those problems.
Are they any good?
@@SPZ909 I like them they go over cracks, twigs, pebbles.
Yo, could you do a video covering best wheels for surfskate.
Size, width, Urethane, ect ect. Be good to have somebody cover how size and durometer effect the way a surfskate feels. Cheers 🤙🏼
Shred Shack on point.
Appreciate ya!
Damn those wheels are massive
I have the atom atr board and wheels and they grip better than any other wheel in the wet but spray water everywhere
i skated off a dike in the Netherlands and it was fun, on grass these wheels need a steep downhill angle. also kind of noisy on asphalt
Thinking of putting these on a Kendall End of World with some CX's- Sidewalks are uneven in places, so these seem perfect -streets are too unsafe these days with phone zombies
Phone zombies. I like that 😂
Had these wheels on a 41" drop through and some sidewinder 2s and my board was basically a jeep that would roll over most things and also wheels with tread like these make a lot of tire noise
I wonder if anyone has recorded the sound these wheels make....
@@dianachewning1470 it's kind of like a humming, if you've ever heard a car pass by that made a lot of tire noise it's like that but higher pitched
Thank you
Been thinking of buying these for my roller skates coz my bike and skate roads are terribly rough and regular soft wheels dont cut it
I have an aluminum beer can board can I use these on it for a beater board so I don’t have to worry about it getting hurt or damaged with some bones big balls bearings and I love riding it The feeling of knowing that you have zero concern of hitting rocks sticks and other obstacles it is fantastic I also didn’t see a patch of mud that was kind of deep and they pushed right through no problem, same situation my buddy’s board literally sank down to the trucks and he went flying
Wassss guuud shred shack
What upppp Christian 😎🤙🏼
I want them! ❤
Do you think that ghost board would be good for a beginner, I really like how they look but I don't know if they would be a good choice for my first longboard, also I would probably change wheels and that stuff
Bro you gotta try out Lean Boards
Def on the list haha
If you do that then you have to do that major arc board too and if you do that then you also need to do the curfboard. It's a slippery slope
Where I live it's really old and the pavement in 90% of places shows it so I can't really skateboard so these seem pretty good
underrated youtuber
Ayyyy thanks Kevin. Means a lot! 👍🏼
My main obstacles when I'm cruising are cobblestone streets and sticks, would you recommend getting these over shark wheels?
Hey, I haven't personally tried shark wheels but I have these all-terrain wheels and they work great on rougher roads and streets, and they go over sticks and pebbles really easily for me. Hope that helps!
What deck are you using? I love the look of that board
That is the MBS All-Terrain Longboard, 39"
Sweet, thanks!
If you had to choose between SharkWheels and these All Terrain wheels, which would it be?
Specifically asking in regards to overall rough streets, and how well each could handle pebbles and stones, and little sticks.
(Everysingle time I've fallen from a longboard/skateboard, has been due to freaking pebbles)
(I want to minimize this scenario)
Thanks!
could you do a review on "Would Boards" I want to get one but don't know if its really worth it
Can you review decathlon longboards ?
the way i see it is that large wheels will generally be the same. it would be more beneficial to get something like 85mm speedvents or caguamas as rhey use better urethane. mbs and sharkwheels are more of a gimmick and dont really do as they are advertised. cags provide a more cushiony ride and speedvents are the meta for going long distances over all types of terrain. 77a vents shoyld handle rough terrain very well. speedvents are also made of verg high rebound urethane meaning they will hold speed well and go faster overall. they hold a world speed record for a reason
Yoo those wheels look HUGE gonna take some time to get used to
They really are lol 😂
Expectation: all-terrain vs Reality: some-terrain
Another thing to consider. You'll have to spend more time cleaning your bearings if you 'off road'.
Ya for sure! Solid point 👍
So what would be a better buy, shark wheels or the all terrain? I ride shark wheels and want to know is it worth the extra money for all terrain.
Got some ordered. They good for rain?
I'm thinking of buying these wheels with Original S10 trucks. I can't really decide on a good topmount deck with a nice drop to go with that setup.. Does anyone have recommendations? I also heard that these wheels can easily be converted into e-skate wheels which is always nice :)
Would these help dampen vibrations against concrete? I live near a trail that has decent concrete but also it still hurts my arches in my feet bc of the vibration while skating
Ehhh I don’t think it would help that much. You might want to look into a deck shape with less/more concave? It’s hard to say
I just use 85 mm arangotang wheels, and they are good enough for all terrain
Would you recommend them?
Also wich bearings would you recommend for water?
You should review the derringer from original
Maybe in the future. Thanks for the input!
