I ride the x formula too. Been on the nanos for about 3 weeks. I love them. Waaaaay better than the x. Seeing my wheels has unlocked so many tricks for me! Super grippy on rough and smooth asphalt and same for concrete. Slides really well (out the package they don’t slide but give it a few minutes) AMAZING on curbs. The extra room is exactly what I needed for my Indy 144s to lock PERFECTLY on curbs. The outside round edge is amazing for climbing up curbs, the side cut inner edge locks you in great. Same for rails and it slides great on them. Being able to see my wheel under my board now, I can place it perfectly. Manuals are effortless. Can’t wait to learn coconut mannies! (Definitely not trying to review on your post, just posting my impressions!)
hell yeah! glad to hear it. seeing the wheel definitely threw me off at first, but after about 15 minutes it didnt bother me anymore. i thought they were gonna mess with my flip tricks, but so far so good. i suck at heelfips but the sesh i had the other day i nailed 3 perfect ones in a row. theyre workin for me. pinned your comment so people see it. the more info people get the better. thank you for your input!
@@stickersteve007 it was definitely different! Haha. That’s awesome man! Heel flips vs kickflips? I’m a kickflips guy myself haha I was waiting for somebody to do a review on these rigs just to compare to what it experiencing and it seems like a lot of people are on the same wave. They’re amazing but take some getting used to! I definitely think they like a better x formula. They used the same formula but improved it imo Thanks for the pin bro! You got a sub outta this guy haha keep shredding
The only gimmick about Andy, is that he is 100% skater. Everything is not for everyone, i love the dragons, his board designs and i think he is a true inspiration for progressing the skateboarding style. Peace from Sweden!
Just got mine in the mail, watched this video while setting them up on a fresh setup. I bought the exact same setup I was previously riding a set of dragon formula on. The one thing I noticed, you get sucked up onto rounded curbs so easily, and because of the outside profile, I roll out of cracks I previously got stuck in. Tossed it at a curb I haven't been confident skating because it drops about half an inch from blacktop to concrete, and catches me every single time coming off on my dragons. Definitely go find some classic rounded curbs and you'll see how effortless it feels.
Yeah, I’ve talked to Powell they’re the same formula as the x formula. It’s really rare to see someone skating a truck other than Indy or thunder. It kind of takes me off guard.
Also audio is super crystal clear in both ears now. Now I gotta fight the wheel madness. I’m just too curious. Looking forward to the long term review.
@@stickersteve007 yeah he did...and he commented ....LoL...I screen shot it because I didn't believe it either....coconut wheelie!!!!! I've been a "poser" or rather really bad skateboarder for 40 plus years....I love Andy!!!!old women in skating are so ignored. I'm 53. That was RAD for sure
Had bones 56mm park formula for last year or so and just felt id try something new so went with spitfire 56mm 80a, quite Impressed, different kettle of fish
I'm still just impressed with myself, I took a fully uneducated guess before I watched Andy's video, and was right about them not just sitting beyond the bolt, but also being a harder Dragon formula. I know that's not a hard call.. but having been out of the game for a while, I was happy to get that right haha.
Cool video man. I like your style. I’m enjoying the new wheels myself. They did take a little getting used to but I like them. The stability is hands down better.
finally some coverage on these wheels. i do a lot of slappies which got me interested in them. the stability is something i didn't consider and that's kind of cool. i've been skating dragons and been wanting to try the x formula. i think i would rather go for these just to switch it up completely.
In your situation I'd say go with these. Unless you want a bigger wheel than 52mm. Bigger sizes will be out eventually. I definitely noticed a difference for slappy 50's and stability
@@stickersteve007 been skating 54 dragons. i pretty much need dragons in my area since everything is crust here. i tried going back to classics but it's unbearable. i'm interested in 97a though since i sometimes stick on ledges but slappies are fine. kind of tempted to kook myself and learn coconut wheels when i get these lol
Whoa!! Sexy cool intro and that clip to highlight the shape. Real slick. These kind of remind me of the Mini Combo OJ wheels. I picture them coning after awhile. Forgot to mention I like the outro sign at the end. Nice touch.
They are now out in 93a and 52mm-60mm i believe. Those are available in the UK, mostly... but the other version they released isn't, which is this 97a one but in 54mm-60mm again, so im sure we'll hear more reviews and first impressions soon. Loved watching you slowly start to really like these. It seemed you did anyway 😊 Edit: i have them in 54mm 93a and love them. I wa also already a convert to the 93a normal v6 and v4 dragons anyway in 53/54mm. For street skating that is.
I like my X97's a lot and these look like a great shape for curbs, sort of wish they did them with the new x99 formula though as the 97's grip on noseslides a bit more than I'd like. You have to really lean into them and go fast which ends up heroic or slamtastic without much middle ground
Hey Sticker Steve good video man. Just coming across these wheels and I’m heavily curious about checking them out, I’m going to buy me some on the Amazon either way. Curious if you ran these wheels after this vid anymore or basically what’re thoughts if any/changed now almost a year later? Cheers from New York
i did skate them for a little while, but i switched back to my X97's. i did like them, but at the end of the day they were just a little to wide for me. felt a little sluggish.
Nice 360 flip and bs 180s, they’d probably be better on a bit narrower trucks. I’m not super keen on asymmetrical shapes and offset cores bc I like to rotate wheels when they start to cone out. I usually get 56-60mm and ride them forever. Probably down to 53-54 now. I like that they cover the nuts though, I like wider wheels like radial/radial full
Nice Review, I'd like to have those four, mostly because I like Chunky wheels and 97 are perfect 4 me, I love My Slime balls but I feel curious about these Cubics.
I have 4 total Andy Anderson boards and now two sets of these. My honest impression is he should have never mentioned the word Dragon or allowed his wheels IN ANY WAY to be compared. They are not like Dragons at all and I was hoping for simply a Dragon with freestyle features. The wider contact patch makes these much grippier than I am used to and the slide is different as well. Dragons are so far ahead of everything I’ve ridden that these are a good niche wheel if you need axle nut protection or find Dragons too slippery or soft and do things like wallride and coconut wheelie. None of those apply to me but axle nut protection is cool. I absolutely feel it a step down in feel and the perks of the wheel don’t apply to me. These may be a better feeling wheel than (insert any name) it just isn’t close to a better feel than Dragons for me. I think people should understand up front if you are used to Dragons don’t expect the same feel. Closer to X97
I agree. They should have kept the word dragon away from these. I'm 100% sure that it is the x formula, but I get why they didn't call it that. For my type of skating they seem to be working well. But I can see myself goin back to the bones x97's
@@stickersteve007 There are so many styles and preferences of skating I would never say these wheels aren’t excellent. I think every skater that owns Dragons or has ambitions to own them needs to understand this is an entirely different wheel. Wheels at full price aren’t exactly cheap. I hope they get wonderful acclaim. It’s a no for me dawg. Not in a world where Dragons are real
@@stickersteve007 Forgot to state I’m an old ass man and the softness of the Dragons is everything on my old ass knees coming down from any landing higher than a foot. It is a quick way to piss off old heads that cream over that Dragon soft feel on our joints by having us believe another wheel is similar. Don’t mind me I’m old and tender kneed
Just so you know they make these wheels in 93a Dragon Formula now (which is the actual dragon formula) the “97a dragon formula” is literally just the bones X97 formula. They go all the way up to 60mm with these wheels!
I wouldn't say I'd recommend them over the x97 wheels, but I'd put them in the same realm. I'd probably still steer people to the x97 because they offer a few different shapes and sizes to accommodate what your wheel preference is. But when these come in bigger sizes, that could change. 52mm is small for a lot of people these days
@jcarlosrodriguezm I actually did at first, but now I'm used to it. I may try it down the road, but I don't wanna change my truck's. I'd probably try it on a 8.5 deck
as a beginner I'll be getting these I think they will help improve my skating by alot just having that extra stability and the wheels basically helping you get into grinds ya can't go wrong
How are they for wallies/wallrides ? Only reason im curious to stop using spits lockins wheel. I also ride bigger trucks than my board because i like seeing the wheel pretending im a monster truck
I'm on these, they work very much as advertised. They aren't magic but they do everything they are supposed to. I'm not slappy guy, but I learned slappy crooks with these very fast. Time will tell if they flatspot, but other dragon formulas haven't. Only downside to dragons I've found is they are sticky on things that are super smooth but unwaxed- lipslide on something like polished marble/granite, crosslocked 5050 (or any pinchy grind) on a round bar is super sketch with no wax. They slide on dry concrete somehow though.
@@stickersteve007 52 is right on the borderline where I get wheelbite, it would be nice if they made a 50, 54, 56 in the same shape for those that don't want 52s.
hey man. can you give me an idea of how much wider these will be switching from dragons? its either get these wheels or new trucks, since my 159s arent wide enough for my new board. my dragons are worn out and it would be nice if i could just get the nanos to fit my 9.5 board and not have to get new trucks. right now it looks like im riding a magic carpet. its hard for me to measure since the nanos are offset if that makes any sense
not bad but you're a big guy so i'm 6'1 170 and i find 101's (usually hard (pun intended) aren't easy to find and usually forgotten as the harder they are the less wheel bit you get @@stickersteve007
I thought these wheels where going to be the best thing but the wheel bite is horrible compared to x97 I keep thinking I just need to break them in more. my 93 dragons slide a lot better, idk what’s so wrong with the nano cubic
yeah the wheelbite is definitely very noticeable. it really bothered me at first, but i feel used to it now and in a weird way its forcing me to land my flip tricks better. im still thinkin of goin back to the x97's though. personally i have no issues with the way they slide
@@stickersteve007 glad you like them. PROD has been riding them for years so there’s nothing wrong with them really. Back in the day I was all about Destructo. Pure garbage but I learned alot of tricks on them somehow. Haha. Then turned Indy addict since around ‘05
@@stickersteve007 interesting. Not long ago after watching Ben Degros’ skateboard parts madness I decided to try a whole bunch of different trucks and I couldn’t do the switch to any of them. I did like the grind feel of ventures so I guess that’s why they’re good for slappys.
@memorysometimers3067 yeah they grind great. I went through the same thing with trucks. Ventures were the only ones that I liked. I'm done with trying trucks now
I'll never not think his boards are gimmicks because he says 'its perfect' everytime he makes a new one. Welll if it was perfect hed never have to make a new one. I prefer the classic shapes... These wheels on the other hand im getting JUST to protect my axle threads. Hate smashed threads.

@@stickersteve007 interesting. Not long ago after watching Ben Degros’ skateboard parts madness I decided to try a whole bunch of different trucks and I couldn’t do the switch to any of them. I did like the grind feel of ventures so I guess that’s why they’re good for slappys.
@memorysometimers3067 yeah they grind great. I went through the same thing with trucks. Ventures were the only ones that I liked. I'm done with trying trucks now
I'll never not think his boards are gimmicks because he says 'its perfect' everytime he makes a new one. Welll if it was perfect hed never have to make a new one. I prefer the classic shapes... These wheels on the other hand im getting JUST to protect my axle threads. Hate smashed threads.

Andy Anderson is wack. The circus is over. It's getting old
