The Rules Of Skateboarding #8: Wheel Size | What’s too big for a legit street part?
Village Psychic’s The Rules of Skateboarding is back this time talking about wheel size. Nick Boserio breaks down his 60mm wheels that he’s been filming on. Does this enter cruiser territory? Is a street part legit on 60’s? How do you prevent wheel bite? All this and more is answered within.
Sample:
It seems like there’s an unwritten rule in skateboarding that you don’t go out and film tricks on wheels bigger than 55mm. I guess it wasn’t a question as much as a prompt.
Yeah, maybe. That’s your wheels, not mine. Maybe. The cruiser wheels thing I get. A lot of the setups, you know shaped boards, all that shit’s breaking down. I remember when there was no fucking way that anyone was riding over 52mm. I remember when nobody’s board was bigger than eight inches. I’m not saying that shit is getting bigger in general, I just think maybe companies are scrambling to produce anything that sets them aside. Maybe more things are kosher? I don’t really know. Maybe there is an unwritten rule. Most of my answers are maybe, babbling, and then I don’t know.
