An Andy Anderson Signature Wheel for All Terrain Skating
Powell Peralta Dragon Formula Nano Cubic Skateboard Wheels were inspired by and developed for Andy Anderson to expand his range of street, park, and freestyle tricks across all terrains. If you searched for Powell Peralta Nano Cubic wheels, this is the shape: a smaller, lighter, offset design built around the classic advantages of Powell Peralta's Cubic and MiniCubic shapes, reconceived for today's skating.
Wheel Construction
- Outer lip protects the axle nuts, adds width and stability, makes coconut wheelies possible, and climbs over coping, curbs, and walls
- Inner lip leaves more truck exposed and grabs onto obstacles to lock in on grinds
- 97A Dragon Formula urethane, a skate everything compound
- Slick on ledges and flip tricks, fast in pools and bowls, forgiving on city streets, solid at the skatepark
The offset design gives the wheel an ideal shape for both inner and outer edges, so the large outer edge rolls smoothly over curbs, walls, and cracks while the inner edge locks onto rails but releases when you need it to.
Who These Wheels Are For
These suit any skater who moves between street spots, skateparks, and pools rather than sticking to one terrain, since the Nano Cubic shape and 97A Dragon Formula urethane are built to cover that full range. The smaller, lighter offset shape also benefits skaters working on freestyle and technical tricks where wheel size and weight matter.
How to Use Them
Mount the Nano Cubic wheels with the outer lip facing out to get the coping and curb climbing benefit, and expect the inner lip to grab onto rails and ledges for locking into grinds. As with any urethane wheel, expect the 97A durometer to break in slightly with use, delivering a slick feel on ledges and flip tricks while staying fast through pools and bowls.
