Wheel Tip!
When you add new wheels to your board it is also the right moment to get new bearings. Bearings make sure your wheels keep spinning and give you a smooth ride.

Shark Wheel Transparent Sapphire Jaws 54mm/78a Skateboard Wheels - Key Questions Answered
What kind of riding are these 54mm 78A wheels best for?
They’re best for cruising cracked sidewalks, rough asphalt, and campus paths. The soft 78A urethane and Shark Wheel shape are tuned to smooth out chatter and keep momentum on imperfect pavement.
Are these a good choice if I’m new to skating on rough streets?
Yes, especially if you want more comfort and grip than hard street wheels. The softer feel can make uneven pavement less intimidating, which helps newer riders stay relaxed and in control.
How do these feel compared with regular round skateboard wheels?
They feel smoother over seams and small cracks, with less harsh vibration. The wavy Shark Wheel edge is meant to roll through rough spots more easily than a typical hard street wheel.
Would 54mm be a better fit than a larger cruiser wheel for everyday use?
If you want a compact wheel that still rides comfortably, 54mm is a practical middle ground. It fits street-style setups well without feeling oversized on smaller decks.
What should I expect from these on smooth pavement versus rough pavement?
On rough pavement, they feel calmer and more planted; on very smooth concrete, soft wheels can feel a bit slower. They’re a strong pick when real-world streets matter more than top speed.

Skater since 1974, pool pipe and skatepark, I've ridden it all but these Carver C7 trucks were a revelation. Best for slow speed styling and generally hanging some art on mellow terrain.
Definitely a kick and worth trying.

They were more than helpful and the process of getting help, ordering the board, and then delivery was flawless. I am excited with my purchase and am thrilled with the customer service along the way. Top notch!

Kiddo got this board for Christmas, for us to ride on Route 66. Board is good quality. No name trucks, but they function well for her. She likes the Punked Speed Series wheels. We did put reds super bearings in it. The factory bearings do not roll near as well. For the price, for a complete, it is well worth it. This is our second Punked Longboard, and both have served their purpose. I would buy from this company, and Vendor again, without question.

Trippy assym setup with Rogue ZM1's and assorted wheels really rips for downhill! I also hope to run cones with it soon.
