OJ Wheels | Cruisin' Nick Boserio's Zoo Bomb

Yep no problem, starting skate 2 months ago with 8.5 » deck, and 60mm 78a Santa Cruz (big and wide wheel). Was wondering about olling this things. Finally I bought ricta 54mm 78a and I did 2 months only with them. Was close to Ollie decently rolling. I put back my 60mm 78a Santa, with 1/4 » riser, and I think I Ollie better with them rolling.. pretty stable, no much diff. And it’s so better than ricta to cruise on hard roads (or soft too). I don’t have to be pay too much attention when I was looking with ricta. I can go pretty fast everywhere. Look at this for people speaking about soft/big wheels and/or speed lol : [VIDEO] And if I can Ollie nicely with them after 2 months skateboarding.. no problem for shov it or 180 neither (but need to be correctly done). Ps: I never ride in skateparks, that’s also why, I learn everything in the street with car, people and dogs. I will just go now in skatepark for bowls . Enjoy riding :)

That's interesting. I've seen some OJ Cruisin' vids [VIDEO] on youtube and some of the pro's [VIDEO] seem to powerslide those 78a wheels without too much issue. But then I've seem some threads on here [LINK] that say doing so would ruin your wheels. Maybe it has something to do with the Spitfire wheel formula in particular, as opposed to the durometer? ​ Either way, I ordered some 85a Powell G-Slides, which seem like a nice compromise between soft riding and sliding.

I ride a normal shape deck 8.0" with cruiser wheels 60mm. I cruise around and do flatground tricks no problem at all. Check this cool video out! [VIDEO]
