Powell Peralta Wheels Dh 66mm Snakes Ii 82a Ylw

Powell Peralta is a board brand founded by George Powell and Stacy Peralta in 1978. The brand is the investigator of the Bones Brigade (Steve Caballero, Tony Hawk, Ray Barbee, Lance Mountain, ...). In 1991, Stacy Peralta decided to move on to other horizons and it was George Powell who continued to develop the brand. The times are dark for Powell, almost all of the pros have left to build their brands individually. Fortunately, in recent years, with the release of Stacy's documentary on the Bones Brigade, the two old friends have started working together again and have revived Powell Peralta.

The essential criteria in choosing skateboard wheels are diameter and hardness. The diameter is expressed in mm. The "small diameters" (49 to 51 mm) are intended for the practice of very technical street. The "classic diameters" (52 to 55 mm) are intended for versatile skaters practicing the street and rolling a lot of spots in spots ... The "large diameters" (over 55 mm) are intended for pool riders, ramps and big parks. The hardness of a skateboard wheel is expressed in shore (A). The "soft" wheels (78A / 80A) are generally intended for longboards and cruisers for riding. The "semi soft" or "semi hard" wheels (92A / 98A) are intended for riders who do tricks but are looking for a certain grip or practicing on very damaged ground. The "hard" wheels (99A / 101A) are the ultimate street skating wheels.
