Skateboard wheels

To accommodate all the different types of skating, skateboard wheels come in many sizes, each with a varying hardness. Ramp or vert riders prefer using larger, soft wheels to produce more speed. On the other hand, street riders like small wheels; being closer to the ground makes street-tricks like kick-flips and ollies easier.

To maintain fluidity at high speeds, longboards need to have much larger skateboard wheels than a standard street deck. Standard boards usually have a range of 52mm to 54 mm and a hardness of 99a.
