Nah, Nah For real. Coming from someone who only uses youtube for tutorials, this is fantastic. He taught me all the vocabulary and terminology i needed to know so that i can achieve my goal. From lip to contact patch thank you very much for the well though out and articulated video.
This is nuts. I'm a total beginner and knew nothing about wheels prior to this. In ten minutes you made me able to search specifically for what I want. Thanks a lot, its great to find happy and kind communities like this
same dude im still trying to learn to slide. realized my board has the sharp edged wheels and not the rounded ones which has been holding me back the whole time lol
All this information is golden. I was curious about turning a popsicle deck into a cruiser, and you answered that question numerous times in the comments. Thanks!
Most of the three miles to school is down hill thank you a simple Google search I can't find a straight answer from most forums on what size I should go and I've already broken my arm on my longboard rember to wear a helmet
Dude, PERFECT explanation for everything, I was thinking of taking my old skateboard that I don't use anymore and turn it into a cruiser with big wheels and now I know which ones I want, thanks, amazing video
Any large soft wheel. Look for 70+ mm size and 76a-80a durometer. Honestly whatever's cheapest if you're just cruising, no need to spend the extra for specialized wheels.
Far away the best video about wheels!very informative.Beginner Longborders as I'm, can pick up a lot of Knowledge.Keep it up the good work Ross.!!! I watched all episodes. super cool... THX
Great video, thanks. Getting back into skateboarding and decided to get a deck for cruising. Already purchased two sets of wheels, one set with a harder compound and one set with a softer compound so I can switch between the two depending on how I want to ride. Just waiting for warmer weather to hit the streets. Cheers!
This is a great video! Thank you! Highly informative. I've been skateboarding for years, but I noticed that I'm not going as fast as I'd like to. Even with expensive bearings, I can't keep up with longboarders. Also, I have to push 10 times as much as a longboarder. So, I decided to get into longboarding lol. I want to GO FAST and carve!! I bought a Globe small longboard and the wheels that came on it are cambered , which is why it carves so damn nice. I love longboarding.
Hey man, I just started longboarding and I just want to cruise around town and where I live the pavement is a little rough and I just want to ride over it fast and quiet , what do you recommend?
Hey @Tactics Boardshop. It's still unclear which wheels I should get. I prefer using a short board (I think you call them park decks) to ollie this and kickflip that. However, going from point a to point b on campus can be loud (because of the hard wheels) and difficult (because of rough surfaces). What wheels can I use on my short board that'll keep things quiet, keep me jumping, and possibly provide room for a little powersliding here and there?
I want to be able to ride my cruiser downtown and coleman. There are some hills which makes you faster but no ridiculously high speeds and I want it to slide easier. What wheels should I get?
What wheels would you recommend for a street skateboards? I just wanna use some for cruising around to school. I have bones atf 56 mm but they're still pretty slow and the board shakes a lot when I come across little rocks
Hey I am getting the sector 9 gauntlet with caliber 2 trucks and was wondering if blood orange wheels would be good for some downhill and mostly sliding
For carving bowls, sounds like a sharp-lip, nonslip wheels would be better for emulating snowboard carving, where it doesn't break traction. I'll try and find out
What type of Longboard wheels would you suggest for urban cruising? So a lot of on&off the board, dodging commuters and rough pavement, wanting speed and stability most of all.
I have a set of Race Formulas on my skateboard. Yes on a skateboard and they are awesome, even though I got them from my neighbor's granddaughter. (70mm, 78a)
I don't want to do tricks at all. I just want a mobility device around town. The town I live in does not have the cleanest streets, gravel etc. I want a board combo that gets me the best ride. (I obviously don't care about sliding) The video helps but I'm curious as to what you would advise. I'll probably figure this all out in the next hour if I pay attention. I'm lazy and that's what comments are. Lazy people or people who want to argue. =P
I have a really nice longboard but one of the wheels is broken. My plan is to get new wheels and give it to my friend as a present. They like to do small tricks and ride on the downtown road and sidewalk... what wheel do you recommend?
Great video! Your explanations are quite useful and complete. I'm setting up my first surfskate, trying to make the best cost x benefit possible. I'm working on a longboard 'carvy and grippy' enough to bring that surf feeling into the streets. Anyway, Im not a longboard expert but my research and your videos are directing me to this possible Set up: Deck: Similar to the Sector 9 Striker, 32 to 38 inches Trucks: Similar to the Gulling Side winder or Carver C7 or CX. Bushings: softs like cone style Wheels: 70 to 75 mm tall, 70 to 80A soft, 50 to 70mm contact, centerset maybe offset with shine skin and sharp lip Am i forgetting anything? can you suggest any decent fair price set up or brand?! Thank you and good job to you all!!
For someone who wants to basically cruise around and maybe downhill, would you raccomend a drop through longboard ? First time having a longbord Thank you so much
Basically, I just want to ride around my neighbor hood, and not go fast at all on hills, what tires should I get?? Also any advice on cheapest but good longboards? Any help is great! Thanks!
So I need wheels for everyday cruising kind like the ones on a penny board so which ones do you recommend and I'm taking a regular deck and putting cruiser wheels so what trucks should I use regular or longboard trucks
I am just starting out. Great videos very informative! I'm on a sector 9 nueve with beaver bloods. I can't break traction to slide. What other wheel options do you recommend?
ok I have a downhill longboard but i don't go down big hills, just around my neighborhood there is a street that goes down but slowly so it's a hill I need new wheels and bearings so I want to go fast so what do u sugest by the way great video .
You sai´d the best thing in a wheel video that no one else did! I think I need some offset core wheel´s I´m trying stand up slides for a couple of week´s . I ride an AOB(Area One Boards) Adventurer with some Slideperfect wheel`s (78a / 70m / 50mm) but they´re center set and I can´t get them to more than a tiny tiny speedcheck. So i think offset could be the answer or am I being wrong here?
im a beginner and do not have a board yet not sure what type of style of riding that I like what wheels do you recommend I probably do cruising and maybe sliding the most
I want to get a longboard to just cruise to and from work, there are a few hills on the ride so id like to build a board i can just cruise on and curve a little and ride hills. i like the double concave boards. what do you reccomend as a full setup
I'm new to this and I'm planning to buy a longboard and I need your recommendation for wheels. I would like to cruise and slide around but time to time do tricks. What wheels do you recommend? And I've been riding penny boards
how about for freestyle? a wider wheel with center core for grip or narrower wheel with side set for easy changing of grip to slide? I'm planning to buy someday and I'm into learning freestyle or dancing long boards
i live in a flat area and i use gullwing sidewinders trucks to cruise around on and i like to make sharps turns bc of where i live, what kind of lip do i need?
Would you recommend just sawing up the nose and tail of an old skateboard I make real sharp turns and whenever I do the boards hits the wheel. Im new to skate/longboarding, thanks
Nah, Nah For real. Coming from someone who only uses youtube for tutorials, this is fantastic. He taught me all the vocabulary and terminology i needed to know so that i can achieve my goal. From lip to contact patch thank you very much for the well though out and articulated video.
Yeah. I'm gonna go grab some 100mm wheels.

All this information is golden. I was curious about turning a popsicle deck into a cruiser, and you answered that question numerous times in the comments. Thanks!
my brain just overheated with all those information. this man knows his stuff.
I have been skating for 30 years, you still cannot learn enough about wheels. I do have a set of Shark wheels on my big gun Ettinger, love those.
Thanks for taking your time explaining each wheel style. It really helped me figure it out to get started
Awesome video. You do a great job explaining things. I learned a lot. Thank you...
Just a fantastic detailed explanation. Really helping a beginner to learn to ride a dancing board with appropriate wheels.
Most of the three miles to school is down hill thank you a simple Google search I can't find a straight answer from most forums on what size I should go and I've already broken my arm on my longboard rember to wear a helmet
I have a HUGE set that I use for my skateboard when I know I'm just cruising. SUCH a smooth ride, man.
what wheel do you recommend for beginners in sliding
Nathan Jensen butter balls
mini zombie hawgs
ice balls
Meat balls
Cheese balls
Dude, PERFECT explanation for everything, I was thinking of taking my old skateboard that I don't use anymore and turn it into a cruiser with big wheels and now I know which ones I want, thanks, amazing video
Finally .... A guy who know what he's talking about... Plain and simple
1:14 is what I needed. Thanks dude
looking for a good wheel for my Longboard STRICTLY for cruising, what wheel(s) would you recommend?
STRICTLY for cruising. Dude get real, are you that fucking against slides, hills, tricks?
@@mr.jamster8414 its also posible that he uses it for transportation, and doesnt spend time to dedicate time to learning those skills
@@mr.jamster8414 cant rlly downhill in my area lol
@@mr.jamster8414 I mean, it is pretty hard to do anything on a longboard that isn't cruising
Any large soft wheel. Look for 70+ mm size and 76a-80a durometer. Honestly whatever's cheapest if you're just cruising, no need to spend the extra for specialized wheels.
Love the detail you went into, perfect.
subbed.
Excellent tutorial, you covered all my questions, and unlike so many you tubers your video was exactly what it advertised itself as. Thank you.
Best video for wheel info
Far away the best video about wheels!very informative.Beginner Longborders as I'm, can pick up a lot of Knowledge.Keep it up the good work Ross.!!! I watched all episodes. super cool...

It would be lovely to see sliding with different durometers, but same wheel, so we can see the difference.
This video was so excellent, gave me everything I wanted to know about choosing wheels and only ten minutes long as well.
Great video, thanks. Getting back into skateboarding and decided to get a deck for cruising. Already purchased two sets of wheels, one set with a harder compound and one set with a softer compound so I can switch between the two depending on how I want to ride. Just waiting for warmer weather to hit the streets. Cheers!
This video was easily the best on TH-cam easy to understand and was super simple thanks
Another fantastic informative video. I wish I'd found you guys about a month ago when I started messing around with this stuff!
this makes me want to go grab my longboard!

Idk for me the 60mm shark sheels are great (sorry for being only 2 years late)
Nathan is Drake mini super juice oj
ricta clouds
Globe 80a 60mm, best sliding wheels ive tried that arent total boats.
@@AriGoldFishing9136 the 78as feel like they would slide with hella speed, or if they were harder, so i would suggest 86a clouds, 57mm.
Hey I am getting the sector 9 gauntlet with caliber 2 trucks and was wondering if blood orange wheels would be good for some downhill and mostly sliding
For carving bowls, sounds like a sharp-lip, nonslip wheels would be better for emulating snowboard carving, where it doesn't break traction. I'll try and find out

Anyway, Im not a longboard expert but my research and your videos are directing me to this possible Set up:

Am i forgetting anything? can you suggest any decent fair price set up or brand?!
