I don't hate this, but I just feel like we went into 2020 with not enough wheel brands, and gonna end 2021 with too many wheel brands.


I hope they do those clear rounds ones in the sample post. I've wanted some clear/crystal wheels for a while but no ones made them since bones like 5years ago. I like fos, and I like the color palette.

Heroin has a pretty big following so I reckon a good amount of people will be getting them!

from that MC interview, it's the same manufacturer as heroin wheels in the past
"But it seemed shops were struggling to get product last year, and I have had Heroin wheels made at this really good factory here in the US for years now. I reached out to the factory to get some more made, and they were like, sure, but it will deliver in March."

Heroin has done some cool and inventive stuff with their deck shapes and the razortop stuff so I hope these wheels will be similar, a little bit different from all the other same-same companies. Really in the market for a good 55-58mm conical in 90-95a duro...

If they're from a "really good" wheel mfg in the US it's like 90% sure creative. Whoever mentioned mearthane, a few years back they bought or merged with creative (can't remember which) so they're kind of the same thing now and I think aend mostly does cruisers and longboard wheels.

Creative is basically like bbs, PS, and clutch all rolled into one... The majority of non bones/spitfire wheels seem to be from CU these days and I'm fine with that. They're very good wheels and have a bunch of nice fat molds in a variety of shapes and their urethane is definitely high quality. I actually think I prefer their 99 formula to the spitfire classic or bones STF ones and if you look around you can find some 96 and 97 conicals from CU that are awesome for if you're going to be skating long distances on your board but still want to be able to hit a spot on the way. They don't have the bouncy ball/cruiser feel that mini logo hybrids do. For crust and commuting I'd say the only formula I prefer is the NFG 95a, which is kind of the holy grail of comfort and slide for east coast streets in my book.

I might have mentioned mearthane, can't recall and too lazy to scroll up...the only bad thing about creative 'thane is there doesn't seem to be different formulas or at least, none that are used by the majority of wheel co. is .sml out of there?

I don't hate this, but I just feel like we went into 2020 with not enough wheel brands, and gonna end 2021 with too many wheel brands.

And that is the problem...outside of Bones, Spit, NFG and maaaaaybe Dial Tone, most wheels are just generic ass feeling creative thane...at least Autobahn when for dual duro and some different shapes...now all you get is V cut or OG wide....bleh..Satori used to recycle...now they just offer...wide and slim and it's probably just creative...not that they're bad, I've skated a few brands (recently darkroom) that skated fine but nothing stood out other than most creative pours are grippy as fuck.

I'll try some to support Fos and I like the imagery and vibe (plus the heroin rails are the shit); here's hoping for something different that isn't...brown...and skate well ;)

They talk about a formula upgrade when ordering. Maybe they developed a wheel with more rebound or maybe they are just rebranding. Sml (James) says they have two formulas. Maybe one is Formula 83?

“Formula 83

Our world-famous Formula 83 combines the ultimate riding hardness. This formula allows for quick acceleration and high speeds. This material is preferred by professional skateboarders with lots of experience. Please keep in mind that the minimum order for Formula 83 is 800 wheels and may come at an additional cost. Please refer to the Pricing section for more information.”

Well played sir.
Thanks for all the feedback. Yes, I'm excited to say that the first batch of wheels arrived on Monday, I ordered them last September! Covid and other factors led to a lot of production delays, but I'm stoked to get these out to all the stores.

Not that you asked but there were a couple of factors that led to Snot Wheels being created.
I was trying to get Dead Dave on another brand and the TM never even bothered getting back to me, so I was like "Maybe I should start my own little Wheel thing and Dead Dave would be a great first rider". Having lots of time sitting around the house during the pandemic helped too, so it started to take shape from that a bit. I never wanted it to be just basically "Heroin Wheels" we already make those, the idea was that it's gotta be a bit broader than that. A lot of the inspiration for the feel of it all is wheels that I grew up riding, like they seemed fun, SMA Gizmo's, Alva Speedskins, Epic Brains, I had some great Bones Street Rats in 89, and then survived the whole 39mm wheel faze. Spitfires 95-98 was my favorite era of the brand, the art was so random and funny. So many good wheel brands that came and went too,  I'm kind of doing the art as a bit of an ode to all those old wheels from those eras.

So that why I looked at Snelling who rides for Blast and I've known for years and he was down too.
We have four other riders lined up, I plan on announcing them with future wheel drops, hard to say exactly those will be because of production delays, but none of the next four to be announced ride for Heroin.

Also, had lots of folks asking where they could buy em online, I wanted to get the wheels to the stores before I even considered doing any kind of direct to consumer thing. I don't think it's fair to ask stores to buy your wheels and then sell em all directly before they've even got them in. Another reason for starting Snot was to be able to work a bit closer with the stores. Baker Boys do an amazing job with Heroin, I get to just do the artwork and team stuff for it, but I get asked a lot "What stores do you have in Idaho" or something and I have no idea, cos it's all the sales dudes at Baker who handle that stuff. So with Snot, I'll be able to point you in the right direction, cos I packed and shipped every box myself out of my house. It's a pretty small batch kind of thing to start. As you've seen we just had 7 assorted styles and I was hoping that there's a bit of something for everyone in there. Next drop there's 10 styles, so I'm just trying to keep it all interesting.

Sorry for the rant, hope this answers some questions that you may have had. Thanks for the kind words too.

Really awesome that you come on here and engage with the community @darkthrone , much appreciated!  Are you planning to open a DTC online shop after a period of time that all the shops have received their orders and had a chance to sell them first?  Or are you keeping them exclusive to shops for the foreseeable future?

Not saying we'll never do DTC, as I imagine we will one day down the line, but when I don't even have enough product to supply the shops who are asking, (I sold out of 55's and 58's)  then I think it's super lame to turn around and sell it all online.
 
Power Distribution will be doing em in the UK. Mehrathon in Canada and PD Dist in Australia. Kartel in Switzerland.

There's other European Distributors lined up for coming on board for later seasons. I've already put two more orders in for Wheels.

Really awesome that you come on here and engage with the community @darkthrone , much appreciated!  Are you planning to open a DTC online shop after a period of time that all the shops have received their orders and had a chance to sell them first?  Or are you keeping them exclusive to shops for the foreseeable future?
[close]

Not saying we'll never do DTC, as I imagine we will one day down the line, but when I don't even have enough product to supply the shops who are asking, (I sold out of 55's and 58's)  then I think it's super lame to turn around and sell it all online.
 
Power Distribution will be doing em in the UK. Mehrathon in Canada and PD Dist in Canada. Kartel in Switzerland.

Got the 53s, 55s, the curb snot, and a bunch of stickers. I am so stoked on this brand and stoked for @darkthrone for doing it. The color tints on the wheels are so good and the logo is so rad, and I just love little brands like this.

I am on the hunt for the orange mesh cap, if anyone sees it online, can you point me to it? The shops local to me that got Snot didnt get the hat. Thanks.

I'm sold out, no more restocks of wheels on the first batch unfortunately. Thanks for all the support and kind words.
It's been a total blast packing up and shipping everyones orders and rapping out with the stores.
We have another drop scheduled for August, we'll have some Pro wheels for Dave and Snelling, and announce a couple more riders then. Thanks again.

My verdict was it was $50 to get a set shipped to my place.
No shops around me have them.
I can get F4’s or whatever for $38.
I think they are just regular wheels.
Will buy if I see a set in person.
I have perfectly fine wheels that I appreciate more each time I skate and wouldn’t mind wearing them down another year.
Snot is my favorite skate brand name and if I had the money I would get the merch.
I’m going to regret not getting anything from this first run.

Finally tried them out today. 51mm conicals 101a.
They are surprisingly fast, even on rough ground. Faster than my f4 99a 51/52mm tablets on every ground.
The slide is pretty sticky, but the threads are still showing on the wheels so that might completely change.
Gonna keep you updated.

I saw a comment response that this drop is all classic shape and the next is all conical.  I picked up the clear snots 52mm 101a wheels from the first drop and they are I think the narrowest wheels I've seen. I'm might have to check these out in person and decide then but I'm more excited for the conical drop.

i think Fos mentioned working with 2 factories somewhere. so i assume these are from another factory. since the conicals next drop where actually supposed to be the 2nd drop with the Snelling and Dead Dave wheels, that shouldve been out around early fall last year if i remember correctly.
so i'd assume the shape might differ too if they're from difrent factories.

Yeah, that makes sense bout 2 factories since these boogerthane ;D wheels are cored and look different than the first drop. I didn’t think the first drop classic shape were that thin, just slightly thinner than classics (but same riding surface), but definitely thicker than say v3s for sure. For me they were perfect and excited to check out this next drop too. Each to his own, but I’m hyped to get my hands on these - especially the 48s, but also the pink/pink 55s. I love this pink, green, black, white colourways.

First time seeing this. I'm behind Heroin for sure, and I'm not scared to skate colored wheels. I love swirly shit if it performs good. I'd take those pale pink or teals in 54-56mm 97a but only with a conical shape.

I’m a little weirded out by cored wheels but I’ll probably give the 58s a shot (snot?) when they’re available to support the company.  I have 53 mm conical ones from the last drop but never ended up skating them that much.

I got the lil boogers 48mm ones in the new formula and i actually like em! Takes a little more effort to slide em on flat than say spitfire f4s but i expected that. i’d say they are a significant improvement to the old formula. I had the clear snots and they simply would not slide and felt dull. I like these new ones and will definitely get another set if i want to try a crazy size or something.

edit: i would be lying if i said that mine didn’t flat spot somewhat quick. Not super fast but still noticeable. no performance issues but just that sound. never bothered me though

I don't fuck with non-F4 anymore but the logo is super cute and makes me feel some kind of way.

Does anyone know if Creative is pouring these?
[close]

If they're from a "really good" wheel mfg in the US it's like 90% sure creative. Whoever mentioned mearthane, a few years back they bought or merged with creative (can't remember which) so they're kind of the same thing now and I think aend mostly does cruisers and longboard wheels.

Creative is basically like bbs, PS, and clutch all rolled into one... The majority of non bones/spitfire wheels seem to be from CU these days and I'm fine with that. They're very good wheels and have a bunch of nice fat molds in a variety of shapes and their urethane is definitely high quality. I actually think I prefer their 99 formula to the spitfire classic or bones STF ones and if you look around you can find some 96 and 97 conicals from CU that are awesome for if you're going to be skating long distances on your board but still want to be able to hit a spot on the way. They don't have the bouncy ball/cruiser feel that mini logo hybrids do. For crust and commuting I'd say the only formula I prefer is the NFG 95a, which is kind of the holy grail of comfort and slide for east coast streets in my book.
[close]

I might have mentioned mearthane, can't recall and too lazy to scroll up...the only bad thing about creative 'thane is there doesn't seem to be different formulas or at least, none that are used by the majority of wheel co. is .sml out of there?

Expand Quote
I don't hate this, but I just feel like we went into 2020 with not enough wheel brands, and gonna end 2021 with too many wheel brands.

I hope they do those clear rounds ones in the sample post. I've wanted some clear/crystal wheels for a while but no ones made them since bones like 5years ago. I like fos, and I like the color palette.

[close]

And that is the problem...outside of Bones, Spit, NFG and maaaaaybe Dial Tone, most wheels are just generic ass feeling creative thane...at least Autobahn when for dual duro and some different shapes...now all you get is V cut or OG wide....bleh..Satori used to recycle...now they just offer...wide and slim and it's probably just creative...not that they're bad, I've skated a few brands (recently darkroom) that skated fine but nothing stood out other than most creative pours are grippy as fuck.

I'll try some to support Fos and I like the imagery and vibe (plus the heroin rails are the shit); here's hoping for something different that isn't...brown...and skate well ;)


Figured I’d bump to mention that Danny feunzelida said satori is bringing back the recycling program in the next couple months.

If the new ones are skinny as hell, cored, and flat spotting fast then they're probably from China. They look like the same $10 wheels you can buy unbranded from a thousand amazon sellers or TGM. In my experience they're not very good, but they're fine for rolling around a smooth park.

For those who didn't like the CU ones, you have to wear the grooves off. It's like the gloss on NFGs, the wheel really changes once it's smooth and as long as you're over 101a they should slide almost as well as an F4 in terms of power slides or sliding through bad landings. They're a little stickier on the curb/ledge but I haven't had anything a quick waxing wouldn't fix. I've got whatever the 51mm glow ones are called and quite like them, same as speedlab, jivaro, Dialtone, and the half dozen other CU wheels I skate.

Yep. Hardest wheels I’ve ever tried. So good so long as they above 52mm.

I like the bones wheels. I usually don’t like tab shape but the 54mm sizing helps make me love them.


My wish is for 103a -101a 66mm og classic f4.

I’d never need new wheels in my life.

I’d swan dive into car wash with a old school metal track toboggan for the social media of anyone who gave me a set.

Honestly, for the price i would try and get spitfire lil smokies if i were you. boogers felt ok but sorta dead if you get what i mean. They flat spotted fairly quick too. All in all an ok wheel but price wise i’d rather get f4 as i like the slide a lot better

Can anyone give feedback on the 48mm boogers or 52mm dead daves? I'm planning to make a mid-90s set-up with a 7.75 deck i have.

Honestly, for the price i would try and get spitfire lil smokies if i were you. boogers felt ok but sorta dead if you get what i mean. They flat spotted fairly quick too. All in all an ok wheel but price wise i’d rather get f4 as i like the slide a lot better


Having tried snots (first drop < then second), this is the correct answer.

Both sets of snots were ditched at the spot.

Thanks for the honest opinion, I suspected as much.  lil smokies are a bit hard to come by here in the UK.

Yup. Skated them for a session or two and  took them right off and threw them in the bushes. Dead sluggish wheel…I’d rather skate og spits or bones 100s

The cored snots are quit good, very very hard and fast just grippy, slick cement parks only.

F4.

I wish more brands did clear wheels. The homie had some choir clear bones once. They were big and skinny.

He broke his wrist bombing hills and in Dorchester going to work or something. Lost the board and the wheels.

Total bummer because I was about to trade some f4s for them. I got bones v3? In the trade instead. Square af 54 Mullen graphic. I like them. Loops and spits are better

I would actually love to see some clear wheels with lil fishies honoring Fly Guy's aquarium platforms

Ricta Crystals we’re some, if not the best clear wheels you could get some 10yrs ago lol…bones did do some clear spfs (they turned the color of old clear shipping/packing tape tho).

i think lil smokies are hard to come by everywhere now. think its been a while since the last batch. can only find one set here in europe and its the 101's but i want the 99's
hoping they do them again. i wanna try a small wheel but dont wanna try anything thats not F4. especially in smaller sizes.
have been tempted by the snots too. but my worries are the same.

They're...smaller?

No clue really, they could easily sell them at full price; my guess is that info that they're made from defective wheels (shaved down to be in good shape) is out there and they're avoiding backlash? Who knows.

2025 - the bigger the wheel/board, the more expensive it is due to increased materials used.

That is what someone else said - seconds from bigger wheels so they shape them down and simplify the packaging and graphic, in a price point Formula Four wheel.

Most shops do keep them at the lower price, but some shops put them at normal Formula Four RRP which is a bit on the nose, but it is up to them to sell things for whatever price they see fit.

There is a solid batch out here in AU right now, some green / black swirls, as well as the normal / natural ones too.
