https://youtu.be/b_jStzmaHoo?si=V5Whwor4nqwP_W7TQuick example of how nice the radial full (54 97a);is on bricks.
I gotta ride across this bricks multiple times a day. When I first leave the house boom I'm on the bricks holding ot going to get a coffee rubbina crust out my eye.
How a wheel does on bricks is kinda my everything.
Shit
My house is made of these same
Lumpy Ass "Colonial" Bricks and and Godly Gloucester Granite from the 1800s because it's connected to Essex street and was part of the mansion across the street.
So lucky. I fuckin feel like a skatebloard hobbit or something and this is my hobbit hole in the Shire cuz I fits me so well. And Thousands of people stop to photograph my house every year. Get a family photo that looks like a Black Sabbath cover. Lol.
It's cool that people be posting up on the stairs creating memories.
I understand Bricks=art always.
Anyway
So far this is the best formula for going fast on bricks. These are the exact size as my dragons are rn. They were 58x33 rat bone twos.
And
+4 about mm than my favorite wheel the Og classic. Formerly 58mm as well. Now about 50 tink.
These feel exactly like the OG in every way except smoother and faster so a 54 feels like a 58 or 60 at 99a
One negative but it's resolved
back 50s where more likely to unlock but the rear toe side wheels got a little flatter so not an issue.
Once that completes metamorphosis this wheels the absolute perfect street wheel formula.
No stupid bounce either. If I hit a crack and my board foot wasn't quite down the board is stay straight and true.
Going across this with 93a Powell wheelsis sick but dangerous af at higher speeds.
My board has gone crooked while hauling ass many times.
I'm setting up a second board rn for long distance. I gotta skate 7 miles and back on Thursday.
I gotta have really big or soft wheels for that these days. If it was one way sure whatever but the way back is a 3 mile uphill nightmare.
Super fun getting there tho. No push doing about 14 mph. I wanna go rn
