Powell PeraltaDragon Formula Skateboard Wheels

These wheels look great on my old school deck and they are great for slappys!

…In perspective. As a person who rides hard wheels (100a +) and spends more time street skating than at a perfectly smooth surfaced skatepark, these wheels delivered. I recommend that anyone doing any street skating and are already riding hard wheels , you should have at least one set.They live up to the hype in a small, but noticeable, degree. They do make for a smoother ride on rougher surfaces - but don’t eliminate the vibration feedback in your board. I find you can carve hard with a good amount of confidence of not slipping out. They do slide on command - did some power slides to make sure. They‘ll slide through your tricks that need them to slide, like tail/nose slides and blunt slides. But let’s be real, if something doesn’t slide we wax it until it does… tell me I’m wrong. The shape I found locks in and holds the pinch when doing grinds.The negatives, there aren’t many and they’re existence would prevent my from getting another set. They do seem a tad slower. Not that you have to push harder or a lot more frequently on them - just that you may lose a bit more momentum on a push than you would with 100a wheels. I’ve been riding them hard for a few days and I’ve already managed to cut one of the wheels. Maybe I just had bad luck and slid over something sharp. Oh, though it’s just a personal preference of mine, but I like the squawk noise you get on slides with hard wheels more. These don’t have that voice.I have only been riding them for about a week, so I can’t comment on how well they’ll hold up in the long run. I’ve done enough sliding tricks to say that they don’t flat spot easily. None yet to report.Yes, the hype is real. Yes, it’s worth having at least one set for a street setup. No, you won’t magically make all your dream tricks come true. Have fun!

These wheels definitely feel a bit slower then the 54mm 80hd spit fires I was riding before, even though being harder. However they do slide great and if you need a one am done wheel this might be it ?? Thinking of trying the 94 duro next

The media could not be loaded.  My wife was a huge fan of the original size she got (56mm) but they were just a little too big. We swapped them out for the 53mm and she loves them. Great formula for park and street skating with enough forgiveness for beginners!

Back in the 80s I used to skate OJII wheels. (street razors, Bullets, etc.) and Powell wheels (T-bones, G-bones, and street styles).Later in the 90s I started skating Spitfires.I thought they all were the same, because most felt the same when skating.I saw all the reviews but thought it was just people hyping it up for wheel sales.But I can honestly say these are the best wheels I have skated in years.They both grip and slide when you need them to. Plus they work well on rougher terrain.If you can find a set, buy them.

Not too heavy when doing flip tricks and they ride smooth. Can't ask for much more in terms of feel.

My dad likes skateboarding. He needed some wheels so he bought those. He said it was useful. He likes them. Have a great day.

Love the shape of these wheels, they look and feel bigger than they are, but they are a bit heavy and will definitely add some weight to your set up. Wish they were lighter.

These wheels are perfect for street and freestyle.

George Powells masterpiece

Grippy and smooth, yet slide when you want them to.

Awesome wheels. But last time i skated was before putting this wheels 🤣
