Ricta, Clouds 78a Skateboard Wheel

I just started skating and when I bought my skateboard it came with 52mm 95a wheels. These were a little bit hard for me to skate and they made a lot of noise andit was difficult on old asfalt and other rough surfaces. I bought these 54mm 78 wheels and they are sooo much easier to skate for me as a beginner! I don't regret buying them for a second and I will buy them again as soon as I wear these out. It rides smooth and fast on all surfaces and I don't have to puch as much as I had to do before.

I purchased these with pretty low expectations. I skated a lot when I was younger and would never think about a wheel this soft. I am now older and not as sturdy as I once was. The cracks in the sidewalk are a constant jar to my bones. I put these on and took them for a spin. I was amazed. They are so quiet and smooth. They were a delightful change to the way my feet feel on the rough Michigan roads. I will be riding Ricta Clouds from now on everywhere.

I just put these wheels on my shortboard pop-sickle trick deck and it rolls like a charm.The wheels I had previous were hard and loud and I would have to kick constantly to roll. These wheels felt great right when I got on them. These wheels are great if you want to cruise around on your shortboard. The guy at the skateshop said there was no wheel to turn my shortboard into a cruiser, and he wanted me to by a "hybrid" board. I said fuq dat sheet

Now ive always skated hard wheels, usually 58mm, i bought these soft 54mm wheels and they are amazing, there the fastest wheels ive ever skated, makes me a little afraid when bombing hills now, but there sooooooo quite i can hear my self think now while skating these terrible NY roads, and they go over everything and i love the speed on flat ground, one push gets you so far, im thinkin bout getting these wheels in 58mm, then they should be perfect!!!

Amazing wheels- they're exactly what I wanted for my "around town" board. I work on a college campus that's perfect for skating to work. These wheels are the ideal balance of size and not too hard, not too soft. I can roll over small rocks and cracks without dying, the ride is EXTREMELY smooth, and they're not too noisy and obnoxious. Highly recommend.

Riding with strictly hard wheels for years I decided to finally switch to soft wheels and I don’t think I’ll ever go back because of these. These are the perfect size for standard street wheels and the softness is just the right amount for most situations. I haven’t even really had to worry too much about pebbles tripping me up because these can handle rougher terrains suprisingly well.

great wheels for cruising asphalt but low enough for tricks too. I'm a 30 yr old "retired" street skater, I just cruise to the mailbox and back and the little kids on the block chase me but they cant catch me because I got these super fast wheels and some super Swiss 6 bearings inside. Good times

I've ridden a Penny skateboard and a regular skateboard with large but hard wheels. So I have commuted with the two extremes. The Penny one has large soft wheels that ride easier and cruise better, but it slows down much quicker. The large hard wheels are the opposite, they are faster, but more brutal on my feet. These Ricta Clouds are perfect! The soft outer layer and hard inner layer is exactly what I was looking for. It allows me to go fast, cruise, and have a comfortable ride. I don't know why it took me this long to decide on these wheels. Pair it along with some Bones Hardcore medium bushings, and you are riding a regular skateboard with the cruising ability of a longboard and the agility of a street skateboard.

Imagine this - the worst asphalt you could ride... the one that resembles a pile of tiny rocks rather than a surface for walking. This is what I have around my place. It used to be unskatable for me, even with my 52mm 86a's.Cut to: me buying these wheels. Holy. Cow. I am now flying. Remember that unskatable asphalt? Well, I had to bail, because my board (now flying carpet) picked up so much speed, I got scared. I can roll through anything now.Highly recommended if you're on the fence! The price is great too, picked them up for 35 GBP.

These are superb wheels. Can't praise them more. Real game changer. If you are in doubt if to buy them don't think twice and get them. They are soft and bit bouncy but will transform worst road and pavements into smooth skatepark concrete.

Absolutely spot on, cheers

Smooth like lotion

Like riding a cloud
