Ben is so humble, acting like he's not a physicist.
@Joseph Maxon he was joking lol

I wish I could just chill with Ben Degros and talk about wheels, they hold a lot of history and innovation 😩👌
Cringeee
💀💀💀
I would too, so many options out their
I just wanna like hold his hand, or whatever. You know
I wouldn't wanna hold his hand, I'd catch his deck up and hand it back to him when he decks it on a stupidly high ledge like any one else would 🤔🐂
This dude taught me how to re-drywall my whole house… Cool seeing another side of the Vancouver Carpenter!
UBC student here. Walked by that bench thing a million times and have always dreamt of using it as a manny pad. I am vicariously satisfied
i like my set up how i like my woman. wide and loose
Slider Rails yep all $40 worth
And well used
dont forget to throw some speed cream in them once in a while.
You dog
yessir
Everytime I leave one of Mr Ben's videos I feel so much more intelligent. He is like the bill nye of skating for me.
big and gnarly wheels. usually conical fulls 56mm. when the wheels are about 50-51 i change them out. i like to skate street but it's quite rough in my area so big wheels are great. also great for skating faster
Wide wheels much better for ramps
I have conical 4 they're great but I prefer classic spitfire 99
How long does they last until they are 50-51 mm
Softer wheels like 80-90a are what I find best for rough pavement, wheel size and width doesn't matter as much if youre wheels are too hard to ride over rough pavement of any sort, I had a set of like 52mm 75a bones wheels that I could literally ride down dirt roads
@@daniels1293 I have 87as which aren't that soft but you can feel that they're kinda mushy when you land and they don't slide at all
I usually skate spit 54mm conical cause the ground where I live is really rough.
Ben I want to ride so much, first ankles than quarantine...yeah
Much love from Italy ❤️
For real, hang in there. It's hitting here in the US, but it's like watching a trainwreck in slow motion. We'll make it out the other side and be stronger for it.
Corona just entered my county wish me luck...
Ouch. Yeah i know the feeling, from Belgium myself so it's not chaotic like Italy. But all skateparks are closed even those in open air, just now when it stopped raining. And there aren't any real good streetspots here
Deontaye Bryan it will be fine. Nust take precautions👍🙏
hang in there.
Love that you're incorporating clips from other skaters in the area, not that we get bored of your skating but it's always nice to mix it up.
That aside, thanks for giving us 1 more thing to get madness over.
It makes me really happy to have found a skate teacher who seems to have a similar thought process to what I have. Awesome work have a good day! And thank you for the helpful video!
So glad u made this, iv been in a wheel rut latly. Switching back and forth. This helped alot.
I'm in the extreme minority here, love my 50mm 103a Bones STF skinnies.They're small, light, and don't catch on crusty ledges. I gravitate towards thicker, cup-sole shoes so the rough ride doesn't bother me much, hell, I kinda like the feedback. Also yes, I'm totally a relic of the mid to late 90s'.
I'm with ya dude!!👊✌
Rad Overdrive Same here and I’m not ashamed!
skinny wheels are great, I also ride 54mm slim stf bones
Smart combo thin wheel, thick sole, more 90's impossible 🙌
love that graf by the ledge. cool work. Also love the skating and reviews, Ben. Thanks!
Dam Ben the quality of yours videos have gotten soooo much better ! I loved the format of this one, kept it engaging throughout haha. Sick one as always (;
you'll definitely never lose me going over the intricate scientific details of the stuff im into thats for sure. great video! i've been watching a lot of your videos going over different gear to help me choose my next wheels, bearings and trucks
i get so hyped everytime you upload, bro! positive vibes
Ben your content has leveled up overnight it seems you rock thank you for what you do
Keep on shredding Ben! Love the gear comparison videos.
i can’t wait to heal so i can skate again
Like the geeking out , like the guest slots too, nice blend of science and art!
It feels like I am in a luxury lounge with the background music, I am really digging it
I've been skating some Mid Thunder Lights with some Spitfire 80HD Conical Chargers 56mm with Bones Reds Big Balls Bearings and its been my favorite truck/wheel/bearing setup since starting to skate back in my teenage years. I've tried all kinds of wheels in the past and these have been my favorite for sure, I recommend them to anyone. 👍
Thank you I needed that info
I know you love to say you’re on the verge of losing people from shop talk, but I think you underestimate your audience. I watch your stuff specifically for the extra valid information you display in video, not in spite of it. 👍🏻
fax, last thing i wanted to see was skating. i came here for the philosophical talk.
Shop talk?
@@filthydlo69 meaning a technical discussion for people in the know, often with jargon specific to the activity.
@@robertblackmore703 Vernacular and or Vocabulary. Jargon is layman's talk.
@@WorldViralDaily no. Actually Jargon is speech that’s specific to a particular group trade or profession.
great video, again learned a lot! Keep those videos coming :)
Thank you!
I live in a world now where i can watch 2 full ads because they are about something that actually interests me and at the same time support the content creator. The world is finally changing for good !
What’s up, I’ve been waiting for this vid
its dope seeing another richmond/vancouver skater making vids at all the parks i know n go to, love the videos ben!
The thumbnail induced so much anxiety 😝
Good! That means it's working:)
I love to see your videos. Keep up the good work, greetings from Antwerp, Belgium
loving your new style of videos now with the music and vlogginess !
was just looking to buy new wheels today and I saw this. good looks
I'm riding Venture lights with Spit conical slims 54mm.
And they suit me to the ground, will be my goto for a while yet.
Ben!!!! I've been watching your channel since the GoPro audio days, love the content, keep it up!
Also, I think it'd be really cool if you did a tensor mag lights review next
love ur content man keep doing what ur doing
Shout out from Winnipeg Manitoba. Keep up awesome vids Ben!
I've been riding .. what 53 , 54 for those 4-5 years I was skating between 12-17. I remember using spitfires but, I hated the dirty yellow color of it. And I remember borrowing a deck from a '' Pro '' at a park who had same size wheels as me but had bones, completely white and very slim and I remember it felt so easier to flip the board. Until now at 22 I now know that there's a width to wheels at skateboarding aswell.
Picking my skateboard sometime in 2 weeks and going to start skating again after 5 years of nothing again. Great video man.
You should check the wheelbase videos and the thunder vs indy videos by ben, finding your dream setup with theory takes your skating to a new level
So glad u made this i was just thinking about this
You’re out there trying to form a team. I see you.
Love the new Spots and Shots 📹
Dude, I like the stuff you put out. I'm a fat wheel guy. I'm riding 56mm Conical Fulls 101s and loving them!! I moved away from skinny wheels as I got skating more transition and parks. I barely noticed the speed loss and I love the way the Spits slide.
Ben
I like the music selection. I'm really enjoying the first track. Thanks
We definitely need Conical Fulls here in the UK due to all the rough ass ground at our spots.
Not in London muppett ah ah ah!
Peter Pacciani go skate some marble fairy boy
@@ianm1481 ahah foreal out in the small towns/country its utter hell, but tbh down south rn the weather is amazing
Haha in York we have about two decent spots
@@xxxihavenofriendsxxx4018 dude! I grew up skating York! Barbican banks, ryedale house, Sainsbury’s manny pad, cliffords tower skatepark back in the day, and finally York’s only dry spot, a tiny strip of flat ground next to river behind the Park inn 😂
absolutly loved the style of this video ive been riding the same skinny wheels since i started skating i love transition but i feel i want a bigger wheel to lockin better and go faster but i dont want a heavy skateboard
I've been stashing up on Spitfire Old English, the super green ones. They're fairly grippy in wooden bowls, works great on my 8.6 decks. Oh, and they're really really green.
Thinking about trying a classic shape, skating conical full they my fav so far.
Good video man. Digging the editing and new filming style..kinda vloggy. Also digging the guest skaters and their opinions. Keep it up, me likey.
I don't know who you are, but i found you searching a ricta rapido wide review. This was honestly a really good video and i instantly subscribed.
Thanks Ben this helped a lot 😁
Dude that yellow curb is beautiful
I was skating the 52mm conical 101s and switched to 52mm radial slims and the difference is super noticable. Im more of a tech skater so the skinnier radial slims are ideal and makes it waaayyy easier to flip and lock in but if your rippin some park terrain your gonna haul ass with the conical fulls
Very informative!! Thanks!
thank you for this video ben!
Thanks for sharing Ben.
The stoke in this is real even though it’s a gear topic. I go skating most days but I’m definitely going skating today.
Ben you could be a professor of skateboarding.
PS- had no idea Adriano wasn't an old buddy from way back when. That's crazy, making new friends at our age. That's cool 😆💕👍 I gotta get some -new- friends😂
I'm happy with Bones 99a V5s. Just got me some new ones in the 52mm Greenwood model.
Great skating in this vid !
Great timing on this Review!
I'm a 42 year old OG Haha
And I was thinking of going back to my 92 days! Tiny wee little wheels! Cant wait to watch this Review, Ben I am sure it's great!
Dude, I'm a No on the 40 size too!
But I'm thinking my slappys are going to be gnarly with 42mm on there! I'm still doing pressure flip 25 years later. The youngster's think it a inward heel, if that's what ya call it lol!
Tiny wheels and big pants were the good old days.
Everyone around me skates these wire wheels now but no one is a better skater because of the wide wheels like I literally feel like it's a trend I don't feel weird anymore skating my skinny Wheels
Love that intro! Keep it!!
Yo i really like the angles of your shots
Yewww! So sick! Thanks buddy.
Just ordered some Bones SPF 84Bs (54mm). Can’t wait to get them to the local concrete bowl. They should fit in nicely with my new creature deck for some speedy carving 😍
Love the quality of this video
something i noticed when going back and fort between wide and skinny wheels is that in order to be able to go from 7.5 up to 9 inch boards without having to fight getting back any lock-in and pinch type of trick all i have to do is sacrifice making the board heavier to keep the same grind clearance in my trucks, in other words, big boards use wide wheels and skinny boards use skinny wheels, unless i am feeling like wanting to flip absolutelly every gap, then i put skinny wheels on wide boards to get board stability and the easy flip.
I really like 53mm conical full. They are a good all terrain wheel.
I always enjoy your videos, but I really liked this edit.
🙂
ive been a spitfire classic or conical guy for a while, im trying out those new tablet wheels and its such a huge difference in slide
I love the conical full Bones Park Formula wheels. There’s nothing worse than slipping around a smooth concrete park.
Hi love your vids keep it up
I like this new style!
Mid 90s we went through a size that was barely bigger then the barring in the Midwest
Currently - Bones STF V5 55mm. Been riding spitfires for 20 years and decided to try something new. These ride nice, a bit different than Spitfires but pretty good.
I'm riding mini logo A cut 53mm 101a duro. No flat spotting and they slide/grip when needed!
noticed the same thing, my spitfire classics slide like butter compared to my lock ins.
Bones stf 103 slims are perfect for me, I do transition skating mostly and they carve great slide great and feel nice and light
Nice to see also other skater in your video 😊
Hey Ben, which is best? Your channel is the best bro! I like your channel better than Corona!
loved it!
Great vid as always! I wish we could just abolish the english measuring system. We measure board width in inches with decimal units, we measure wheelbases and board length in inches with fractions and we measure the weight in grams.
damn dawg i fuck with the white half cabs, u should do a shoe review on em. I've never skated a pair but have always wanted to
Smoother for sure for riding. The added friction should make them slower too though.
I like the new editing style
I got one board with those V3 slim's 53mm with 149 indys on a 8.38. Also I got V4's 54mm on 149 thunders 8.5. Hard to tell which one I like better tbh
i ride ricta clouds 86a 53mm, a good compromise when you don't want have different set-up. ( street-park-cruisin'... ) Yep, after a few month with it, i miss hardwheels a bit...
I’m currently in the market for some new wheels and even tho I’m not tech I always want small skinny wheels. Everything is bigger nowadays from decks to trucks to wheels. Love the tag on the one transition from the first bit. Great to see some good street spots loved the direction of this video well done. My only gripe would be that i would have liked to see you compare the shapes between the brands instead of crossbrand either way it’s always good to get Vancouver skater content. We just got a foot of pow dumped on us in the prairies still waiting to shred.
Ronnie Creager i can throw a bit about spits f4 and bones stf spf. spits 99a have no grip on wood, while spf 104a stick like glue in comparsion, i use borh in diff set up’s. All types of ramps, bowls etc, 56 spf 104a 84b bones are the good ones, on stree ledges and tricks 52 f4 radial slim 99a and concrette skateparks bowls etc, 56 f4 conical full 99a. 🤘🤘
Blue and red looks good in you bro!
I like videos like thins because I can learn something that could help me decide which wheels to get👍👍👍
Hey Ben! Its me that kid that said he was a youtuber yeah I found your channel but love your videos! And sorry for photo bombing you video a Long time back yeah me and my friend are just bad people but hey haven't seen you in a long time but seriously love your skating videos!
Ben would you recommend Spitfire Classics or Conical Full paired with Venture 5.6 hi. Keep up the great work 👌
This is perfect cause I just switched to a wider set spitfire f1's are my favorite wheel I now ride oj's they seem to be alot better for more street style skating but they're pretty slick on smoother surfaces but I don't mind that since I mostly skate street anyway
Video was dope actually experienced this problem just now i got some figgy oj’s elite formula 101 a 54 mm and rode emm for a week on 144’s thought the same thing that it felt like a 139 on my ledge tricks switched emm out the other day for my spitfire tablets. Ill use the oj’s on a set of 169’s
Damn you deserve more subs Men
52mm 101d, Radial slims. Skinny and square. Best of both worlds in flatground and locking in on coping. Don't have to worry about wheelbite with a medium/loose setup.
i’ve been skating bones v3s for like 3 months. and i got them a lot harder. i definitely noticed the weight difference and the ability to power slide or revert was wayyyyy better, made it much easier. pairing them with indy hollows and i was light as a feather
@zowee dude is it true that bones 99a has a plastic ride feel? ive tried most of the known brand except for bones hardline due to that feedback ive heard
@@jayteecollins1279I ride one board with bones v6 99a in 56mm and one with bones v2 103a 52mm, mostly at home in my concrete miniramp since I live quite rural, the 103a slides out easier than the 99a and if anything they are the ones to have a plastic feel, the 99a is what I prefer, grips when you need to and slides when you want to and feel harder and rolls better yet smoother than cheaper "off brand" 100s and 101a.
I like more of a conical, but I enjoy the spitfire Classic shape too.
great reviews. props from Germany! what would be your go to wheel for small wood miniramp
I've been watching so many videos on all the types of wheels to use for skate parks, looking for slight grip and enough to slide.. Agh!!
What are some of your recommendations?
I ve been rocking Spitfire 52mm since 1996 and have 54mm 80hd's on my cruiser.
I have 54 80hd's on my main because of how rough the ground is in my town.
@@powerslide573 I do the same thing too and don't have to push as much! Only bummer is, nose/tail slides don't work as good.
@@Droskie83 Yah, they also don't powerslide.
@@powerslide573 they do once you wear them down and get a good calluse on em. Love those wheels for downhill carving. They don't last long though.
word of the day: substantial
You should review a MADNESS deck, they make (what looks like) really high quality decks with crazy unique graphics and also have a composite ply, not sure if they’re worth $60 though
