To sum it up, hard wheels are better for doing tricks, power slides, but the downside is its going to be a ruff ride. Soft wheels can be used for sliding but it will be a lot harder but they will help you move around ruff areas. The higher the number the harder and the lower the softer

[DerJansemann]

Ha, that is exactly what i do. Riding soft wheels to the skatepark and then switch with the hard wheel to do my session with tricks. I wonder why i never saw someone else doing so. Works great. :-)

Nobody:
Dale: Goes over crack and through grass
Me: how the f**k did he not die

Dale Decker is greatest love seeing (hearing) you on the CCS channel!

[snostorm]

Why do I recognize dale’s voice like I actually know him

[Nomad_Skateboarding]

As someone who's been given so much since your first catalog (yeah, I'm that old lol), just thank you 🤘

Fun Fact: there can’t be 30 different people that are “first”

Just ordered a new deck from ccs and it was easy to find the right size so just a good experience

Slimeballs 97a and mini logo 95a wheels are the best for both worlds in my opinion 💕

[ashmyblunt]

I’ve always went 99 or 101a. I’m pretty lazy so I like sliding some of my 180 tricks. Plus power slides are nice

[vollidiot]

I'm riding ricta clouds 92a for a good amount of time and for me they are the perfect hybrid.

[Dimehardhat]

I really like the heavy metle music in the background

[isaiahdray]

skate hybrids, mini logo has some 90a 56mm that are really chill for both park and street

Im trying out my first pair of soft wheels and I can actually ollie easier to my surprise. It also a brand new board so there may be other factors at play. I mostly skate rougher terrain and not actual parks, so it may have to do with them being able to roll a lot more freely over the rough terrain. ollying is easier to me when its already rolling

[_Maxten]

i feel like its almost impossible to do a stationary trick on soft wheels because they don't want to stay still, they just wanna cruise.
i had some 55mm 97a wheels and that was perfect in betweener

[wilfredwayne]

Hard wheels are just an impossibility where I live. The streets are a disgrace.

[Xifz]

still getting skate knowledge since im still getting back to it, i think that’s why my formula fours stop me from popping my board sometimes.

[Threeflip]

Hybrid wheels? 95a?! Perfect for ruff streets

[PHeMoX]

Good job Dale! You made perfect sense.

Soft wheels are more for wood ramps because of the increased friction whereas if you use harder wheels on a wood ramp like a steep half-pipe you will slide around too much and the board will probably slide out from underneath you and cause you to fall depending on how steep the ramp and how fast you are going, etc.

Hard wheels = Concrete Parks and Street Skating
Soft Wheels = Wood Ramps or Cruising.
