The feel of skateboarding is the feeling of freedom. I'm 57 and have been skating since 1977, but off with a bad knee injury from 1992 to 1997, then, feeling better, started again.

I absolutely love these wheels. I miss riding them im on some bones x97 to work on my flatground stuff and holy crap do they feel terrible compared to the 60mm dragons. But man are they hard to kickflip lol.

I'm still riding a set of original RatBones I got new in 2011. (I don't skate enough)

Im old school 80s..i always rode 65mm 😂 lol 2 riser pads lol a tank ! These look cool and 60mm seems better today for bowls pools ramps etc..

Thats huge!! Thanks for sharing yeah these were great wheels I am on the 60mm nanocubics now in 97a solid wheels too.

Those look rad. Killer for park/pool. I bet you don't hang up near as much with those. Color is great, too!

All I skate is transition so I hope these will do well!!! I love this oldschool set up and these look so cool on it!! Big fan of your channel man thanks for the kind words!! 🤘

You can definitely do some downhill techsliding on that 60mm wheel setup.

Thanks - very helpful!

that board is sick. i got the dressen rose crew one(blue one) but i have a few in the stack ahead of it. my old school setup is a powell mcgill skull/snake reissue '84 i think (10" w/ short upturned nose) with indy 149 stage 5, grindking kingpins, and oj2 60mm wheels from the '80s

Sweet looking Baby Stomper. I'm closer to 60 than I care to talk about, and back in the day, fat 60mm or bigger wheels were the norm. Mini Cubics are more my jam (do the kids even say that anymore?) but I have a Sims Superply that has OG B-52s on it, and an Alva '77 re-issue with re 65mm Kryptonics Star Tracs. They take me back to being a carefree kid who didn't have to take Advil every time the barometric pressure changes.

I am still riding these 60mm dragons and def my fav wheels so far!! Thanks for the comment and keep skating!! So cool to hear you guys are still getting after it!!! 🤙

Those bigger wheels are gonna eat coping for breakfast bro! I recently got 60's on one of my setups and getting hung up way less. Once you get over feeling like you're on stilts its destroy time!!!! And hell yeah giving yourself the intermediate shout out... good stuff brother, happy new wheels day!

You need risers with that size wheel. Have fun.

That setup looks awesome. I come from the 7.5 129mm truck era, and those boards sucked. I'd be so stocked to cruise around on something like this, but scared about pushing, since its so wide. I'll try upgrading my 8 with some risers and 60mm first and see how it feels

Try a set of MiniCubes. 64 X 64. They're 95A and rounded inside and out for easier microedgers and hangup elimination on reentry. Oh, and add taller risers... Wheelbite's a bitch.
