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.

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.

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.

@@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.

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

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.

I’m switching to these dragons from Ricta Clouds 86a. I just want to learn powerslides while still keep the softness I am so used to after using clouds. I wonder if dragons will feel much harder than 86a Clouds.

@@2FTSK8 just got them. Amazing wheels. They are slightly harder than rictas but still give that smooth feeling of a soft wheel. They are also faster than rictas. And I can finaly make a squeaky noise with them with my mini powerslides. Really good wheels. Oh and one last thing, they are less bouncy than rictas, this helps with landing tricks.

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

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 😀😀😀
