Powell dragon formula tested by nine club.

[IpathCats]

Finally had a few sessions on the wider 54mm dragons. I'd say they work as advertised, but that's not to say they don't have drawbacks. Main drawback is the grip on rails/ledges, the other two are more subjective, the sound is quiet, and they feel slightly bouncy.

Overall I'd say they do what they are intended to do and I will certainly keep them around for crusty spots.

Can only find these in 54m in Europe q

Finally got some 56mm in stock online at some Canadian shops. Think I will treat myself to a set for my birthday. Crust crust everywhere but still nothing good to skate.

These wheels are so polarizing cause I have to say my Powell dragons slide way better on ledges and rails then formula 4s, so they must have sent out some fakes or you're not waxing or doing something wrong. On curbs these slide twice as good as formula 4s.

The shocking truth is that they're soft but slide.

flabbergasted. Rip my youtube algorithm

[RichardBarkley]

These things really are cool. They do everything they claim to do.

The problem is I don't like how my board feels when it hits the ground. I don't like the bouncy feeling. And for some tricks the just don't feel satisfying

None the less I will stick with them for a good while because girlfriend just bought them for me.

i got to try them finally i am pretty stoked on them. i like the way that f4 feels a bit better on a nice spot. i dont mind how dragons feel as an all around wheel, i have a setup i am going to put some on.

I rode dragons for a couple months until my 52 were like 47s. They wore out a decent bit faster than F4 99A. Worst part about the dragons is how quiet they are. Maybe its just absence makes the heart grow fonder, but I've been loving hearing my wheels bark again.

[rawbertson.]

right. my friend was saying the same thing. they seem kinda "chalky" in that sense they just sorta melt away. but thats how you achieve this result that works like this. so it makes sense. yeah like i was getting by on the OJ 95a and it works i can still do everything, and dragons are definintely a huge improvement on that, but i just really like the way this f4 feels and really glad i got them. it is exactly what i want for most of my skating.
