Rayne is out to make the most thaney, long-lasting wheel ever with their new “Round 1” Prototypes. Working closely with the factory has allowed them to refine a ‘thane that is buttery smooth with lots of control. The Round 1s are a limited run released with the intention of showcasing some of the urethane formulas they are working on.
These 65mm wheels are quick, compact and totally shreddable. They’re poured in a classic freeride shape; round lips, a mid-sized, stone-ground contact patch of 47 mm, and an encapsulated core for fast acceleration. They’re a soft 75a, which is unique for a freeride wheel, but that just means that there’s going to be a lot of urethane trails. The formula is rumored to be awesome durability, and that attribute will continue to be a hallmark of the new Rayne wheel formula for future versions as well.

Aera has been teasing the new G-Slides from Powell Peralta in their K5 promotional videos. Last night, Powell made them available for sale!
They’re poured in a new urethane formula Powell calls the Soft Slide Formula. It’s designed to be a fast rolling, long lasting urethane available in multiple hardnesses.
The G-Slides were built to go fast, slide easy and last. They measure 56MM in diameter x 38MM wide with a durometer of 85a and a center set core.
Sold in white, hit the link to grab a set and see what Aera and Powell are talking about!
Some quick footage and feedback from riding the G-Slides gets us excited about our next ride. They’re smooth on a cruise, smooth in a slide, and looking sexy as hell! We love putting in the work while we ride but it’s nice to be able to ride for longer since we don’t have to push as much as we’re used to.

Bones has been a prominent skate company ever since the word skateboard came into existence. They were the trailblazers of the Bones Reds bearings, purveyors of the perfect hard wheel, and now, they are dabbling into shreddable wheel territory!
Introducing the Bones Rough Riders, a street/tech slide hybrid wheel made of Bones’ new ATF (All-Terrain Formula) urethane formula. It’s hard enough to pop the high ollies that you’re used to, but it’ll shave speed with quick, snappy powerslides and gnarly hard-wheel slides. They’re also extremely versatile as filmer wheels, since they roll for a long time and dampen out road vibrations.
These boards are perfect for your double kick cruiser or as an easy cheat wheel for slashing banks and your favorite features! Take them to your favorite spot and get skating!
Update: 59MM Rough Riders are out. Tackle the chunder!

Bones Rough Riders in Action, from the creators
Check out the 56″ and 59″ wheels in action across all types of terrain. Great for city riding where things can get a little rough and also great for testing out some new terrain off-road. We get stellar footage of the terrain and a wheel tech walkthrough of the Rough Riders.
Through the tech upgrades in the wheels, Bones tells us that you’ll get much higher rebound, despite the abnormal surfaces. We’re anxious to get bouncing on some granite with these new Bones Rough Riders!
