Why I Stopped Using Sharkwheels

  • Love or Hate, they certainly are unique. I've had these wheels on my freestyle board for over half a year. But suddenly, I stopped using them. Here's why.

    Actually, while the wheel's shape waves out, the other side waves in, so it doesn't really have a higher surface area. It actually has a lower surface area since you have the grooves in the wheel as well. Its just grippier because of the formula, and probably from any deformation from riding. (Most soft wheels will have some sort of deformation as you ride)
    The problem is, when the wheels wear down, you start losing half the selling points. Plus, I hear some people say the wavy shape makes the board bump around when you carve hard.
    Love your videos, and I'm interested in seeing you grow. Like someone else said, you have mad John Hill vibes lmfao.

      @@mr-toyota I know exactly how you feel, because right now, I'm typing this response with only my left hand, because 5 weeks ago I ate it bad while longboarding and broke my right shoulder in 6 places (two different bones), and also separated it, and tore my rotator cuff! In answer to your question, I have never been able to make my shark wheels slide at all. They are very grippy! Maybe a pro could make them slide a little bit, I don't know, but I can't, but if you would like a wheel that grips really well, but also rides like you are on a cloud, then I would suggest Orangatang 77a stimulus wheels. They are awesome! However don't buy them if you want a wheel that you can make slide if you want to, because they are basically unslideable, but it sounds like maybe that's what you are looking for anyway.
      What caused you to fall? I'm curious, because I fell because I hit a fairly big stone (while pushing really fast) that blended in with the asphalt.

    @3:08 Hol up. Isn’t the width of the wheel the same through out the rotation because the shapes are overlayed on each other? Imagine 2 sin functions on top of each other for the wheel contact pattern. The distance between the 2 functions are the same despite having “flares”

  • @trychydts

    Interesting point of view.
    In an urban environment with pedestrians, and tight corners, speed is not even a factor, as you cannot ride as fast as you could. Sharks also make a _huge_ difference on wet pavement.

    Wouldn't that be pretty easy to test? Take two identical boards with just different wheels to a small hill and see how far they roll. I would think the grooves compensate for the "wider" contact patch to reduce rolling resistance.

    I've got the 60mm Shark Wheels on my Cruiser and I have to agree with you. I have to push a lot more than with my other wheels, they don't maintain speed as well. They do have one more positive though. They are amazing in the rain, which is the main reason I got them.

      I have 60 mm shark wheels and they are fast! I suspect yours are slower because of your bearings. If you ride in the rain, your bearings are likely in bad shape!

    • @djpdjp2488
      @djpdjp2488 Рік тому +1

      Just curious, did the wheels you compared Shark Wheel with have the same contact patch? Did you use the same bearings? Most importantly, were they the same diameter?

  • @lulunomu
    @lulunomu 3 роки тому +6

    I think if they're slowing down it's bc of the bearings, or the material, not really friction. Wheels have static friction, in other words their not sliding on the ground and therefore the ground isn't putting any force on them other than up. Also bigger wheels have more inertia meaning they're harder to speed up, but keep speed longer. I don't mean to invalidate your point but I would instead attribute the slowness to the gumminess of the wheels or the bearings themselves.

    • @OgdenSikel
      @OgdenSikel  3 роки тому +1

      probably the diameter and durometer cuz the bearings were def not the problem...

    Cool vid! Like your boneless tricks. Have you considered if they cut off the flaps on the side of the wheel??? That would solve the issue.
    interesting I am working to create a foam roller with my patented side wheels with Shark Wheel. Check my vids I did a demo with Andy Anderson. It might be a good foam roller with shark wheel texture?! Maybe you can review it. The balance boarding is so epic with wheels. It literally rolls 2-3x as far side to side as larger diameter wheel on side of roller makes it travel further and spin slower.

    That's not how rolling resistance and friction works.
    Actually, having a larger surface area would reduce friction since it lowers the pressure.
    It's why wider bicycle tires have lower rolling resistance considering almost everything else is the same.

    • @djpdjp2488

      The so called drawbacks are false. If you are a newbie, you’ll love how Shark Wheels keep you on your board instead of knocked off due to pebbles or a crack in the road. It helped me focus on fundamentals and less about avoiding hazards. If your trucks aren’t too loose, wheelbite shouldn’t be an issue. 70mm is a good size for longboards typically.

    I’ve used 72 mm Shark Wheels for over 3 years and they are smoother and faster on the types of surfaces I ride. For cruising, they are absolutely superior over pebbles and cracks due to their sine wave design. Also, they do not increase friction compared to other wheels. There are credible scientific studies that prove they reduce friction compared to other wheels that have the identical contact patch dimensions. I respect anybody’s honest opinion. Obviously, I disagree with the perceived drawbacks talked about in this video. It’s not at all been my experience but then again, I’m not much of a dancer. I look forward to swapping for 95mm Shark Wheels on my electric!

    Contact patch = friction the sharks have LESS contact patch
    3 thin rounded contact points . . .
    VS one LONG contact patch ----
    Speed is about wheel weight and wheel diameter and formula and hardness of contact patch for the wheel component then the other stuff like bearings etc
    A big heavy HARD shiny wheel will roll like a bugger but sharks have less material so for same size they are lighter and have a stone ground finish = slower.

    Unfortunately you're not exactly correct you see your new wheels are much smaller first of all so you're going to have a lot less friction rate anyway because small wheels vs. Big Wheels is even comparison. I've been skating for 36 years now almost 39 years and I will tell you that the Shark Wheels says she when you're hauling ass on an electric longboard or actually way better to have and a lot safer
