The hype is so real I bought some for my BMX bike

The fact that one of the oldest brands in skateboarding is still innovating skate tech

Levi Switzer is no longer a person but rather, a skate spirit that can posses anyone it comes into proximity with. Scientists have yet to understand this debacle.

It honestly feels like when you invest in "pro" wheels for the first time. I've spoiled myself for years now when I stepped on these it instantly felt incredible. I bombed a small crusty east coast sidewalk hill no problem just to test them. So far so good

powell peralta has always been my fav company. started skating back in 1987 and first board was a hawk which was outfitted with some oj2s. but also had a pair of bullet 66s which were like ramp wheels. and i still have those but haven’t skated for 25 yrs. good to see powell is still innovating

This is the only video about these wheels I have found that discusses the different size options. Thanks man.

Levi has been killin it for years. This is just another great vid for the catalog.

Mine came in the mail today ,impossible to find in stock and can’t wait to try them tomrw 👌

i recently bought my first real board after a couple months on a cruiser and the dragon wheels have made the transition so easy!

So the flight deck is THE best deck and Dragons are THE best wheels? I'm thinking certain companies are praying that George isn't working on a secret brand of trucks.

Just got myself a pair to test yesterday and skated them for about six hours. These wheels are like cheating! They slide when they need to slide and they grip when they need to grip. And somehow they soften the impact. Nine out of 10 from me.

Yeah I've known since the mid eighties that 92a-95a is the sweet spot for wheels. I call "wheel rebound" "power band" Power band means how well a wheel grips and then slides once the wheel heats up as it starts to slide. I had a pair of cross bones that I got from a friend that were 92a. I rode those suckers until they were 50 cent piece size. I can't wait to try dragons. I wish they would make em in black though.

love these wheels, finally something to ride around town that also slides very well! at first I felt stupid for giving in to the hype, but after like 10 minutes on them, I was surprised the hype was actually justified. didnt ride them at the skatepark yet, because I have F4 for that. but these really are the ultimate hybrid wheels so far! they get me over the shittiest ground, where my F4s are basically stopping after 10 metres because of the vibration.

the revolutionary releases of both Dragons and Dragonskins + other updated formulas from PP and PPDH this year are incredible and still hitting hard enough for a lot of people to not be aware of just how radical these upgrades are to the market.

Bought the last 2 sets from my local skate shop last week! They ride so smoooooth.

My guy who owns a skate shop , known him for 30 years, gave me a set of 58mm for my McGill setup. I was skating the 64 g bones. When I switched it gave me an absolute shock. I could slide way better. They are smooth and I could gain so much speed effortlessly that I had to bail before running into another kid. The board kept going by itself all the way up to the top of the 6 foot bank. I’m going to have to get used to the footing and balance of my skating again, lol. But it is all worth it ❤

This is the only video I've seen mention the higher rebound, which I think is the key thing most people arent getting, they arent as soft as a cruiser wheel but ride as smooth as one, they dont sacrifice too much of the feel of a hard wheel, they are in the perfect sweet spot, but its also different to any other 93a, the speed and effortlessness is insane, I actually get less tired on these than on my cruiser, after just 20 minutes on these I felt like skateboarding has changed forever and just doesnt know it yet. When people realise how good these actually feel street skating is gonna get even more insane.

As a user of Spitfire for 30 years I must say these Dragons have me sold...for now, until spitfire develops their version lol

I think George is a genius. He just waited for years and then boom, another game changer.

Best review thst I’ve seen on these wheels so far!!

These wheels are a perfect godsend for all us Midwest skaters with all the crusty roads 👏👏

I genuinely didn’t believe one bit of the hype until I actually tried the wheels, now I’m ruined I’m stuck with the dragon formula cause nothing compares

Yep! Never going back. Don’t sleep on these friends.

I love these wheels so much. I have the roughest pavement outside my house and cant make it to a skate park most of the time. They feel so much better than my f4s, have yet to try them at park but god so good for my terrain

I got the 52mm but haven't skated them yet. Wilmington NC streets have been needing this wheel

Ya I love these wheels! I have them in 56mm and the are amazing here in Portland with its crusty streets.

Very informative video. You'll feel spoiled with these new wheels.

i just copped these. so good. i love them.

I got some 2 weeks ago...Love Them ...Go Buy Some Thats All !!!!!

My brain when I first got into the video: Wait where's Levi at? xD Love the video though its good.

i picked these up yesterday, i love them

Love from germany. skatin since 1987

! am SO VERY SOLD!!! Well done George

Awesome video was legit wanting to know about all the hype

I've been skating 10+ years and here's my take: are they perfect? No. Am I going to be able to go back to anything else? Also no. Eventually they're going to make a size and shape that I find perfect, but the wheel formula itself is incredible and might be difficult to improve on.

Where’s the other Levi? 🤔

haha! Levi, love the new hair doo!

today was the second day of skating the 54mm dragons in the streets 🐉 and I'm in love! i have been skating stf 103a for years because I need to slide and i have been ridin the oj juice wheels on my cruiser for rough spots. the dragons combine the best from both. I never want to ride the 103a ever again after trying the dragon formula and to be honest I think i don't even need the oj's anymore. dragon formula = best wheels out there 🙌

I have almost a year with mine, at first I hated them lol but then I started loving them, now I can't ride anything else

"a pair of wheels"

My set arrives tomorrow!!!

Love the new look Levi.

Weres the og levi 😢

These will be a game changer if they are that good and versatile I always liked Santa Cruz wheels Bullets back in the day were my fave 😎in a 95 d I also had a set of the Road Weapons they were fast on big hills dangerous fast even 😂

Yup I feel the same way! Can't and won't go back to normal wheels again 🤘

Oh cool, they're bringing the experimental this back....Was always Tbones for me 95a

i have the 58mm dragons and i cant go back either. they are truly all that.

Over 30 years on bullet 66 Santa Cruz. Nothing roars like them when you're sliding. Still can't bring myself to putting on those little wheels. Sidewalk rocks are real

great video!! Levi did a fantastic job!!!! game changers

How smooth are they compared to 78a ish wheels like slimeballs or rough riders?

Best wheels by far . Wish they had them in the early 2000’s lol

Bro love this channel so much this beautiful channel

I just got these wheel. First ride on them on asphalt, I thought “man these feel like cruising wheels”. I then did a power slide but shifted my weight like I was riding soft wheels (because that’s what it feels like), my board slipped out and now I have an injured wrist. These wheels are crazy.

My favorite part is when Levi presented the wheels for a closeup, but pulled away before the shot came in to focus. Plus the lack of lighting.

work best on in the streets and on rough ground. id still rather have a 95a or 97a in a skate park because they are faster and slide at a skate park.

So you just ASSUMED the wheels gender was a dragon? Nice. Real Nice.

Every day I find a new reason to buy these lol

I skate the flight deck and now have left formula 4’s for dragons. They are the perfect wheel

We know that's the real Levi because the fake one can't ride a skateboard.

Ive got them i like them. But theu dont replace my conical f4 53mm mainly cuz of the shapes and that theu actually dont feel right on smooth concrete to me. Love em for rougher ground though.

Levi with that clean shave & new haircut

This Levi is just as funny!

Where's the real Levi?

Can you guys do a video on the GX1000 squad?

I just got a pair and it feels wierd af but then I. Just went with em and they feel goood

It'd be nice if they used the new urethane formula on older Powell Peralta style wheels like G Bones, Rat Bones and Cubics.

These wheels.are so good for Canada parks!

If you power slide these far enough they start spitting flames

Jason Mewes is M.I.A.

Great Video!

Hey guys can you tell me the difference between the v1 and v4 versions? Im looking for a 54mm in the dragons and these both came up

Dope, where do I buy these?

Outstanding photoshop skills with the science part, emotional support pixels for everyone.

I grabbed 54s for my roller skates 🥳🥳🥳 street to park like butter

Where's Levi???

levi with makeup and wig you looking hell a spicie

What happened to Levi?

Bring back the handsome Levi

I got some, for REAL game changer for me🤙🏽 smooth, fast AND slide😎

2:57 mall grab 😅

Your really selling them to me!

Does Levi have that Benjamin Button thing going on?

Can't wait for the Red dragons! 🇨🇦🀄 FUCK YA!

Sold out, any one sending these to EU?

How do they compare to the spitfire formula 4s?

Fuck yes shredz

How do you determine what size and diameter to use for your skating style?

best wheels i've ever ridden

I just tested mine. I have two pair, the classic shape dragons and I have the conical shape dragons. First I will describe the classic shape dragons 54mm. What I previously have been riding are the spitfire 97A classic shape 54mm for my comparison. I skated three different surfaces from smooth to rough, then actually crusty. I did power slides, reverts, and very fast pushing to see how they hold my speed for street skating. On a scale from 1 to 10, the spitfire 97A felt about a 1-2 point difference from the Dragons in 4 different ways. It felt a 2 point out of 10 difference in speed. the Spitfire 97A classic shape was faster than the classic shape dragon on all surfaces. It felt one point difference in vibrations, the dragons translating less vibrations, but just by one point on the roughest surfaces. The slide ability of the dragons in classic shape was about 2 points less slick than the spitfire 97A classic shape on all surfaces. And lastly the sound was about 1 point louder for the spitfires vs the quieter dragons. Now I will describe the conical shaped dragons in 56mm. The 56mm dragons were about 2 points different in speed from the spitfire classics 97A, the spitfires being faster = less need for pushing. Slide Ability felt 1 point less slippery compared to the spitfires. Vibrations were about 2 points softer on the dragons vs the spitfires. And lastly, the sound was even less at 2 points quieter for the dragons vs the louder spitfires while riding, HOWEVER they were louder when sliding about 3 points vs the spitfires. Over all, this was on a scale from 1 - 10 and so these differences were small. The best thing I could do from here is to get the spitfire 97A in conical shape to see who the true all terrain winner is. Since the spitfire 97A classic did so well against both the dragons (only a 1-2 point difference in softness feel), I am going to assume the spitfire 97A conical will make up for the vibrations difference and retain the speed.

There’s some that are cubes?

Killed levi for some test wheels...🐲

I’ve been looking for a wheel like this.

Have you considered going to AA?

Love

In Canada those dragon wheels are the only fucking wheels that anyone will or should ever buy.

Are they flat spot proof like the Spitfires?

These Dragons sound like the Ricta Coulds I have, 55mm 92 or 93 hardness & they are Awesome at the Skatepark or on the Streets. I recently got a set of Spitfire 58mm 99 dur & the ONLY place they're good is at a Skatepark, other than that they're Useless, Rough, Slow, Vibrate your Soul...I also have 2 sets of Super Juice 55mm 78dur and they are the Fastest wheels on the Street & at the SKATEPARK toooo. I also like the way they look, the SUPER JUICE, very 1970's Vibe....

That’s a kick in the butt to Powell seeing the Bronson bearings and bearing squisher. Haha. Jk. ✌️👍🍻

These wheels are amazing. I mail ordered some to the uk from the states, we are not allowed them…..🤦‍♂️🧐🤷‍♂️ Cost me double, worth every penny and looks like il have to do it again, no sign of them here in the uk anytime soon
