Honestly it was really hard for me to skate harder wheels after being on the dragons for about 6 months. I got the x formula 97a for now, but I am definitely looking forward to riding another set of the dragons in a few months time.
@GasGotti
@GasGotti 10 ай бұрын
I just made the switch from a 54mm X 97a to the 56mm dragons. The dragons slide so much better and feel so much better on the rough surfaces that I usually ride. They’re so good, it doesn’t make sense.

Being using them for almost five months and yes, they´re all that is said. Fast as sh%t on parks, smooth on rough surfaces and slides well. Also there´s the benefit of impact absortion. Tou can really fell that uf you ride them for some days and than go back to some 101 wheel. You gonna be chocked.

Been riding spitfire my whole life but don’t know if I can ride any other wheels for street skating again after testing these… not only do they work as advertised, but the best part for me as someone who just turned 30 is how much impact the wheels absorb. I can skate for hours with these and not feel sore the next day which is a huge plus
