Powell Peralta Premium Flight Skateboard Skeleton Foil 8.5" Krux Trucks, Dragon Formula Wheels, Independent Bearings
Description
The Powell Peralta Skeleton Green Foil Flight Premium Complete pairs the best of Powell Peralta in one box: the Skeleton Green Foil Flight deck and Powell's Dragon Formula wheels, the wheels skaters keep raving about. Add Krux K5 DLK 8.5" trucks and Independent GP-S bearings and it's about as good as a complete gets.
This 8.5" build uses Krux K5 DLK 8.5" trucks and Powell Peralta Dragon Formula V4 54mm x 34mm 88A wheels on shape 244.
Why Dragon Formula Wheels
This is the whole point of this build: Powell's best deck construction paired with Powell's best wheels. Dragon Formula is the wheel skaters keep raving about, and for good reason. According to Powell:
- Faster than they should be: up to 20% higher rebound than standard hard wheels (over 82% on the 88A), so you keep speed in parks, bowls, and rough streets where ordinary soft wheels bog down.
- Grip and slide: Dragons grip when you need control and slide when you want flow, like a hard wheel.
- Skate more spots: the softer hardness rolls over cracks and rough ground that would stop a 99A or 101A wheel cold.
- Years in the making: Powell developed the formula over 10 years.
Put that on a Flight deck that's thinner, stronger, and holds its pop longer than a 7-ply, and you've got about the best-riding setup Powell makes, in one box.
