facts.

I'm 38 and just got back into skating after 2 decades. I'm still not very great but do have the basics down. I got the dragons because I was hoping they would help with impact but not be super grippy and they did not disappoint. I love these wheels, they made the ride to the park on shit ground feel phenomenal. I just ordered the new Nano Cubics so I'm excited to try those.

im 10 years older but other than that the same exact story.

Love the video. I'm glad you finally reviewed this wheel

I’ve been skating them at some old prefab outdoor parks. Working out well and they grip the slippery metal ramp surface while spf’s were like ice. Can’t wait to go try them in some concrete bowls.

George Powell is a genius.

I agree

I can attest to that. These wheels are the greatest for the streets! I want the green ones.

I love them, they got the green color PERFECT! 😍😍

it's witchcraft. one of the few hype trains over the years that have definitely been worth the ticket. love 'em. they DEFINITELY chip/chunk a bit and they DEFINITELY wear fast. but it is worth it.

i thought it was either all in my head or the ultra rough streets here that was making my wheels wear down so fast.

@@chrhadden you have a point. i think people like us are more apt to take these on rough surfaces which will wear them down faster. i was not necessarily prepared for the wear happening so quickly, but the other benefits are still worth the price of admission to me. i mentioned this chunking/wear thing in a post by Vern Laird who is a rep for Powell wheels and he deleted the comment, haha.

same here, been on a pair for a year now. and still going strong, they never failed me...atleast not yet. next up will be the 60s for a cruiser deck, i just cant with other wheels after being on the dragons. ive tried, i really have all the new once trying to do the same type of thing. but nope, i like the dragons the most

Im 37, ive tried differrent wheels including bones formula x but all i can say, this is THE BEST EVER! the green makes it more cool

For the way I skate… these are the best wheels I’ve ever owned. I’ve only had them for like 12 hours. Slapped them on my stage xi’s and I was skating over literally everything. They slide better than the bones x97s

Sounds like I should try a set. My Rat Bones are getting kinda old, but I'm in my mid-60's and don't have anything but hang tens, slalom and transition pumps and kickturns left. (Its still fun)

After spending more time with these dragons are they still 10/10? Super great review.

Jeff has the wheel but I don't think he has been skating much ... I'll ask him tho

just think how good they would be if you didnt get the smallest ones they make. i have tried small wheels in the past and it feels like the board is scraping the ground as i push 20 times to get one block. im the opposite i got the biggest ones they make (58) i cant see life without them.

The board reminds me of the Yeah Right! invisible skit 😆

i thought polyurethane scales only went to 100 after that it would be b40 or b something and the scales go from a to z 1 to 100 but anyhow i never was a guy who would change my 95s to 97s to skate a ramp. i tried some 80a wheels and they were way to spongey.why am i writing all this like anybody cares ?lol

@@chrhadden hahaha I care lol! Seriously everyone sharing experiences is what life's about! Actually from what I've seen at the skate shop, I think the hardest wheel before it switches to like "B" durometer are 103A wheels. I'd Google it but I'm lazy 😂 But I agree with you, I used to skate 101's but felt handicapped on rough ground with them, now that I've got these 93A Dragon wheels that still give me the slide I want, I feel like I can basically skate wherever I want 😀😀😀

I didnt get a sticker with my wheels wtf lol 😂 😢😢😢
