How to Pick Skateboard Wheels (Finding the IDEAL Diameter/Durometer)

What are the best wheels for skateboarding? This video answers that question based on your style of skating, and tells you how to choose the best size (diameter) and hardness (durometer), as well as which ones you should consider buying.

When it comes to selecting your skateboard wheels, there are a lot of varieties out there, and the process can quickly become overwhelming. This video breaks down all of the important factors you should consider and gives you all of the information you'll need to make the perfect choice.

My Top Wheel Recommendations
------------------------------------------------------
Trick Skating (Focusing on Flip Tricks/Grinds/Slides/etc)
-- On All Types of Concrete (Street and Park): Search for Bones STF 52mm on Amazon/Google
-- At Skateparks(Including Indoor/Skatelite): Search for Bones SPF 54mm on Amazon/Google

Transition/Vert Skating (Focusing on Half-Pipes/Bowls/Lip Tricks)
-- On All Types of Concrete (Street and Park): Search for Bones STF 54mm on Amazon/Google
-- At Skateparks(Including Indoor/Skatelite): Bones SPF 58mm: https://amzn.to/3u4yTK1
NOTE: For these wheels, you should also get 1/4" risers to put in between the board and the trucks (see 1:39 in the video)
Risers: https://amzn.to/2Jbpj0M
Longer Hardware: https://amzn.to/2Je4uSj

Filming/Cruising (Focusing on Rolling Smoothly and Quietly)
-- https://amzn.to/2L6ysoC (56-60mm and get 1/4"-1/2" risers!)

How larger wheels allow you to achieve a faster top speed
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Skateboard wheels, regardless of size, will, due to the friction between the wheel bearings and the truck axle, have a tendency to dramatically resist acceleration once reaching the upper end of their RPM range, so, increasing the circumference of the wheel will increase the distance covered with each rotation of the wheel, thereby increasing your overall speed while within that upper portion of the RPM range.
