Skateboard wheels
Professional skaters use different wheels depending on what style they’re riding. Vert/ramp skaters ride on large wheels for speed, but street riders often use small wheels because they are light and put the deck close to the ground. Having the deck closer to the ground makes it easier to perform tricks like kick-flips and ollies.
Some of the companies that make skateboard wheels include:
• Spitfire
• Bones
• OJ
• Sector Nine
• RictaSkateboard wheels also come in different degrees of hardness. Cruisers and long boards need large, soft wheels to roll over loose debris without throwing the rider off. The most common, all-around wheel is in the range of 52mm to 54 mm and a hardness of 99a.
