Powell Snakes

The SSF is engineered to balance grip and slide in a way that traditional formulas often struggle to achieve. It is designed to roll faster and maintain momentum longer, while providing a predictable, smooth slide that doesn't feel 'chattery' or abrupt.

Yes, the 82a durometer is soft enough to absorb road vibration and roll over cracks or debris that would typically stop harder wheels. They are an excellent choice if your local spots have less-than-perfect ground.

These are widely considered one of the best wheels for learning to slide. Because the formula is designed to break traction smoothly and predictably, they help build confidence without the 'hooking up' sensation that can cause unexpected falls.

At 69mm, these are on the larger side for a standard street setup. Depending on your truck height and how loose you ride your trucks, you may need to add a riser pad to prevent the wheels from rubbing against your deck during sharp turns.

Durability is a core feature of the SSF line. While no wheel is completely immune to flat-spotting if you lock up your wheels during a slide, this formula is significantly more resistant to flat-spots than most standard soft wheels on the market.
