I have an update to this video that answers a lot of the questions in the comments, and gives some updated production info.
Best Roller Skate Wheel DISCONTINUED // Wicked Scotts Are Done
ua-cam.com/video/uPLTYH6r0jU/v-deo.html
Depends on the rink floor for me. The floor at my home town rink is very grippy, so I skate Vintage All American Dreams, Labeda Elegant 101a, and Varsity 101a. I bought and rolled Scott’s urethane once, but the VFH was a little too grippy for my floor and weight, 205 lbs. I would definitely use them for racing and floors that aren’t as grippy though. Great part about Scott’s wheels is that I sold them for the same price I bought them for in under 3 days.
This video really makes me miss rink skating, the music, the crowd. Darn Covid!
It has picked up a lot in the past 3 months
😂😂 my rink was open the entire time during Covid and I never got sick.
Almost makes me mad at the whole overblown plandemic..
Now their saying 45 % of democrats want anti experimental treatment people to be rounded up and put into re-education camps!
Why can't we all just get along?
I’ve got a set of these wheels. Got purple Phantom wides. They are 97a and are the best wheels I have ever skated on. Like said in the video.. They grip when u need them to! Ordered them directly from Scott. Been on them about 2 years skating twice a week. Still have all their grooves! Just amazing. The ability to order the color and hardness I wanted was incredible.
Got in contact with Scott via a friend and ordered my own set of Phantoms, they would have to be the nicest set of wheels ive ever seen and his service is second to none.
Cant wait to go for a roll tonight to see just how good they are..
Scott is a super star..
How do I order a set
95A is a bit on the soft side for me. I skate nothing but beautiful wood so I tend to rock a 103 never have an issue with breaking loose or gripping when I gotta get it
Back in the late 80s early 90s ...ran Labada fan jets on German 2 piece race bearings with clip axles and composite plates on Riddell race boots and thru were by far my favorite combo ....loved those skates
BEEN rollin Aussie Scotts for years, the grip and slide like magic!
Smoooth! The dance is pretty cool, pro moves. I have naver considered quads, I thought they were like training wheels for beginners before inlines but it's a totally different niche. Getting smarter every day.
Most def! They are their own beast and take totally different movements to master. If you try them you will get better at inlines or ice skating as well. Promise! ;)
Oh yeah, the difference to me is the difference between figure skate and hockey skates in the ice skate world. Dancing and such isnt nearly as pretty on a set of inlines but you can't carve corners or attain the speeds of inlines with quads
You guys are very awesome skaters! Great rhythm moves!
You guys never cease to amaze me ! Thanks for the review...again... i value your advice.
I absolutely loved this review! Great depth! And you're so good skate dancing!!
Hell yeah! Now that's an awesome review! Thanks DDudes!!
Has it all: perfect explanation and editing and groovy music, flow and roller dancing!
Thanks, Karlo! I’m glad you loved it! 😃
Yup, agreed, couldn't have been better
Thanks for the video. Are this wheels good for outside racing? Or fast anough
How do I order
Love the video! It makes me wanna try skating on quads again. What about a video talking on your suggestions of the best quads skates available for beginners/intermediates?
Love that idea, Victor! I'll have to look into doing one!
My jam skates setup is riedell 911 boot with labeda pro-line plates with bone Swiss ceramic 7mm bearings in red sure grip power plus wheels great setup
It blows my mind that nobody cares on the mass production or make emphasis on this topic! He make a really important statement and investigate really well about difference between good urethane that last forever; but have long process and the mass production fast process that doesn’t last and is poor quality made! Obviously people gonna buy a cheap good looking wheel that u can purchase anytime u want. Instead of buy an expensive well made good urethane material that u have to wait a generous amount of time to be made but will last forever! Idk if my message is right, English is not my first language but I catch really well the message from him. I’ll like to see more videos like this one talking some science behind of how the product we gonna invest our money is made and how industry is perpetuating the marketing, poor materials and the carbon footprint they leave in the world. Thank you for this video!❣️🛹
Scott Corey has been making wheels for years. If you don't have a pair , better get some!
It all depends on the floor, you can have 10,000 wheels not stick on certain floors due to all kinds of conditions. Those who skate a lot, like, roller derby peeps, going from rink to rink, floor to floor, each person usually have about 5 sets of wheels, if you cant stick, or cant slide enough, there are problems. Just like speed skating. The floor calls for different wheels, so, there really cant be *the best* due to this. But we can have favorites for many reasons. Buying someones idea of the best may not work out well where you skate. Lota variables.
Your videos are awesome man..
4:45 synchronized fall in the background
thank you for this
Great review! I dont have quads but still loved it. That dance scene was some next level dopeness.
Those orange wheels are too nice.
Do they still make a white lightnin and red devils wheels for quads nowdays??
Neither wheel is no longer in production, but can be found New Old Stock at ebay or facebook sites like Second Chance Skates
Good luck getting WICKED SCOTTS.. he's discontinued making then due to the process being so tedious. Sad state of affairs. I'd love to have a set
In india this is really impossible to bys these expensive wheels because in india there cost is equal to 5 roller scates ...and i am from india i have the wheels but the baddest thing of this is that my wheels do not have wall bearing they have metal balls with unstable bowl....😦😦😦
Cool dance at the end. Nice work. :)
Lol..background guy skills off the charts!
My skates have 3 different wheels ( Yellow + pink wicked lips and black ultimate weapons ). I probably should get a matching set lmao. Thanks for the heads up.
The bests are the 1980s Kryptos made by Kryptonics. Today they cost a nice load of money though.
I got the new ones and they are just a smooth ride all around!
thanks for this video.
100% @Deez Skates. I just put together a pair of skates with 495's, Reactor Pros and a set of Jim Garrett hubs with Scott Corey urethane. The wheels are so unlike anything I've ever skated, that I honestly can't compare them to any other wheels. Like you said, they're unbelievably grippy for how firm they are and they're so incredibly predictable in the way that they break away. I skated in the late 90's and rode a lot of the popular wheels of the time; Hyper Cannibals, Wicked Lips etc. None of those wheels even came close to the feel of the Scott Corey urethane. If you're any kind of serious rink skater, these are probably the best investment you can make, when it comes to improving your setup.
Does these work good on the high top skates? I see all low cut in these..
These variables can be measured... Durometer, and coefficients of static and kinetic friction. Usually the harder it is, the the more the coefficient of friction goes down.
Buddy. What size wheel do you used? Is it meant for rhythm or jam skating or both? Please help
Need these weeks can’t seem to find any on the website
Yea I got the moxi runaround when they finally sent me my juicys they sent the narrow and I paid for the wides.
Can u make a review for men quad skates? Have no idea how to buy them, wanting something I can jam indoor and some outdoor
You can buy them by going into a skate shop and saying "I want to buy some men's quad skates"
Olis skate shop in uk
i use a 97 G-bones it relate to spe as curve , as lidebrak , special just at quadroller is over 90 indoor an fit sounds not tecnical need , just i buy 4 more and test that .
Scott’s not making wheels anymore I need help choosing the next best thing . Can u help please??
Just a tiny correction to your video at 5:00. Most mass produced wheels use hot poured urethane. Corey's wheels and the Bont Royal Assassins use cold poured urethane. You accidentally got them mixed around.
I’ll admit that I don’t personally know enough about wheel production to argue otherwise, but when I said that I didn’t get them backward. I got that information off of Bont’s own website. They claimed that most wheels are cold poured and that the Royal Assassin, which is made by Scott Corey, was hot poured and took more time to cure because of it.
@@DeezSkates OK, thanks for the update. Bont have discontinued the Royal Assassins, so their web page isn't available.
@@sunnyape314
I know it's been awhile since this comment, but I thought of it while researching for another video. I found a reference to this topic on the Bont website here:
bont.com/blogs/skate-technology/roller-skate-wheels-royal-assassin?no_rule=true&gclid=Cj0KCQiAgOefBhDgARIsAMhqXA436ibjSG-qrkhgpxgkv15kO-qHQrqXfkkW0PbWm8_W5Of5qeLo8QMaAiAEEALw_wcB
It claims:
"Virtually every roller skate wheel on the market is made using cold cast urethane using a process where the urethane is dispenser using a machine at room temperature.
Cold cast urethane sets at room temperature and is great for mass production of roller skate wheels. Cold cast roller skate wheels are often run through a tunnel oven on a conveyor belt and once they pop out the other side they are demolded and the molds are quickly cleaned and used again.
There is another type of urethane called hot-cast urethane which is a more exotic urethane. This type of urethane is excellent for roller skate wheels but it needs to be baked in an oven for many hours for it to cure. This means that it will be expensive to produce because the wheel molds cant be used over and over on the same day, ovens need to be used, and not very many wheels can be produced each day. But, the roller skate wheels that do get produced are at a different level to cold cast urethanes. "
As I said before, I do not personally know enough about the chemistry involved in the process to contest or validate any of these claims, but wanted to share the link and Bont's claim for informational purposes.
Wonder if they ever pour one hardness then cut it down and pour another hardness around that?
Awesome video I'm sold
A great review and just wanted to say thank you! By the way you mentioned “Solaris” you did mean your skates or the???
What brand/model are the purple quads in the video?
We have the same wheels g .. I’m trying to see if I can have them downsized a bit because one wheel out of the 8 has 2 deep indents that causes the whole skate to be extremely bumpy…
Hey! Thanks for this video! I went to Corey's site and see there aren't the wicked style anymore. Is there one that is pretty close or the same with a new name?
How much for those 97a's? Good speed skate???
Gettin yo groove on at the end lol 👍. Subd
Awesome video!
What kind of skates are you wearing ?
How r these wheels compared to the blue Canibles
I wonder how these preform on the track for me, preferably sport quart, it's really slippery where I'm skating in the pic
The site says I do not have permission to order
Now when you say they last longer.
Do you have any actual numbers? I know there are a million variables, but any anecdotal examples?
I'm looking into them with some JG Hubs as I wear out the second hand RADAR bullets I have.
Nah. I don’t know that for myself. Like I said, it’s just what people who own the wheels say, but I have not seen data proving this.
I would REALLY like to know WHICH SKATE BOOTS u actually ha e these wheels on? Because, other skate boots make me feel so much higher off the ground than usual and anyway my FAVORITE color is PURPLE! PLEASE, POST WHERE U GOT THESE FROM
This boot is the Riedell Solaris. You can contact Riedell and order it from their color lab in any color you want.
Just ordered some phantom wides 96a natural whites and I cannot wait to skate on them, the micro bearings seem to make me think they roll faster as well?
What song is this DOPE DOPE DOPE funky as an unwashed arm pit. Please let me know I have to add this to my skate playlist
The song is “Ever Felt Pt. 1” by Otis McDonald.
You da man Dave. Scott Cory is on the radar!!!! I’ll probably purchase a set next month yessir
Would you equate them to Annabolix?
Hey. I can't say. I've never used Anabolix before, but I have spoke with the owner of Anabolix about this. He claims that the urethane experience is comparable with the differences being:
1. Anabolix break in faster than Scott Corey wheels.
2.Because they break in faster they do not last as long.
He talked about sending me a set to test, but I never heard back and life got busy so I did not follow up again.
What is the next best obtainable wheel on the market?
Do the wheels come with bearings?
Where can I purchase these wheels?. The link doesn't take to where I customize and purchase.
I have two sets of Scott's wheels. They're good wheels for sure. Very hard wearing. But like any wheels, they're only the best when they're the optimal wheels for a given situation, skating style, skating surface. Even weather.
But I've always thought of them as speed wheels? That's why I have them. That's when finding the optimal set of wheels really matters. No idea why anyone would use them for dance when any old cheap wheels would do?
Dancing, on an advanced level requires it's own type of precision just like speed skating. For anyone who is good at dancing, using any old set of cheap wheels will be a horrible experience. Just like speed skating in any cheap set of wheels would be.
So in terms of easier accessibility what would you suggest as the strongest runner up to these wheels??
I cannot confirm this because I have never used them, but the market seems to suggest that Anabolix is a good runner up.
Can you use them outside?
2022 update?
Can you give boot and wheels u wearing here in video or website
Were do you buy speed skates at
Where is this rink
For the side to side rolling your doing around 1:18 does the trucks need to be loose or tight
How do I get them I looked in the link but all I saw was a picture of the wheels
They’re custom made so you will need to email Scott Corey. There should be contact info on the site.

I've been looking for the best looking boot for a while and the boot on those beautiful purple skates is something else does this boot have a name or is there a name to those skates model
This boot is the Riedell Solaris. It comes in black stock, but Riedell will make it in whatever leather and color design you want if you special order it b
Lol,Those Wheels, Are Nothing More But Some Old Shool Lebetta's,Been Around Since The 80's.Yellow,White,Orange, And Pink,Are The Best To Get Because Those Compounds Are Soft And Give The Best Grip To The Floor.
Not even close. I’ve skated the wheels you’re talking about. They’re definitely not the same thing.
Nothing like the Labeda's but yes the old labeda wheels were amazing. I had tons of them over the years. Even know skated with some of the Labeda's. To bad they stopped making those old thane. But Hyper made some crazy bad ass wheels as well. Vanguard, and even Rannalli had some sweet thane. But Scotts thane is really that good. even better than all the others. Its all about the time to pour hot thane over other pours. it takes so much time.
What kind of skates
it was so cool to see you guys making the video at thunderbird, i was in a few parts, but im lovin the work keep it up.
Thanks, Aiden! We will be at Thunderbird again eventually. Hope to see you there!
What kind of roller skate is that
What are the dimensions of wheel and the hardness 97a ?
Where are you located
Do a video on the old products. Kangaroo boots jumbo fan jet wheels labada wheels ridell boots satellite plates
SWeet Moves:))) Question ,do you ever fall? some skaters teach how to fall ...i feel its possible to learn how to not fall...many i know want to know the answer to this question..Cheers
what kind of skates are those ?
Dude help me...
Im from india...in our domestic inline snapdeal i ve seen roller wheel skate ..cosco having tpu wheel...72...so do you thinks its good..Ive have inline skate fitness skate...of 90 mm ...so will i be able to change it t
What brand are the white skates?
Sold, first I need to get myself some better skates though...
what size wheels do you use? Is it 62 X 40 or 57X 31? please let me know Thanks
These are a custom size. 63x39 I believe.
Those wheels are good because Scott uses old school poly. Search out vintage wheels from the 80's, made of poly. Same thing. New wheels are not created the same. Search for Vanguard Hugger Fanjet.
Where can I get those wheels?
Where do you all skate at what rink?
When I do get to a roller rink I tend to go to Westlake or Interskate. The other guys in this video don’t live in the area anymore, and I spend most of my time figure skating at the ice rink in Farmer’s Branch now.
Cool video, what kind of skates is Dustin wearing?
Those are Riedell 811!
Great review! I just got into it again after 25 years with a pair of Ridell darts. What's a decent upgraded wheel for indoor rinks that won't kill my checking account?
I don't see the wicked on his site, Anyone have some for sale or known where to get them?
Officially, the Wicked was discontinued quite some time ago and Corey has been firm on refusing to manufacture it going forward.
Is that an acoustic bass in the back?
Ukulele! ;)
I have had fanjets for 35 plus years
3:31 looks like the rink close to me.
Phantom A.??
Do all rollerskates got rims nowdays? I checked scotts site they all got mags?? Man Itsa long time back I had" white lightnings" but I dont remember the rims .
Had precision bearings on a mens blackboot suregrip stock skate cut down toa ankle boot.
Alloy hubs is probably what you're referring to. They're hollowed out to make them lighter, but still stronger than plastic hubs.
@@toby9999 thanks man. Im puttin the test to these chicago bullets I got last month. I even need to learn to skate backwards again its been 42 years.
I still havent been ti the rink in town. I rollerskate the dogs around the neighborhood.
How long does he take to respond to emails?
I checked the website, the wicked Scotts where discontinued 😭😭😭
Hey! For derby, you probably wouldn’t want wickeds anyway. He didn’t like to cut the hubs from 63x44. Best bet is look up the Scott Corey wheels Facebook group and message Scott or create a thread. I have 3 sets of 59x38 enforcers and they’re awesome. Same urethane. Fan jet hubs.
i plan on ordering a pair of these wheels , but can you tell me the specifications of the pair you had, Or is the Wicked scott's you refered to a preset wheel combination i can mention.
Wicked Scott's
Speed or Derby.
Wicked Scott's sport a traditional 44mm tall Alloy hub looking a lot like the original Wicked Lips so many of us skated on back in the 1990's.
These wheels will keep any Speed or Derby skater very happy.
Standard they come 63mm tall and 44mm wide for speed. These are often cut down to 38mm wide for Derby skaters and shorter in height is always an option.
Standard colours and hardnesses:
92a Fluro Green
95a Cobalt Blue
96a Purple
97/8a Black
Price $260.00 AUD polished hubs add $30.
Custom colours and compounds are available upon request and start at $355.00 AUD.

Wow boy u great
My red wicked lips are as fast as it gets, two decades on em
