About the Wheels:
The 90A hardness of these wheels strikes a balance between speed and durability, offering the robustness typical of harder wheels with a touch of the cushioning usually found in softer ones.

About the Oval Dragon Artwork:
The inspiration for the Oval Dragon graphic dates back to 1980, when George Powell, influenced by the themes of "Lord of the Rings," enlisted artist Vernon Courtlandt Johnson. Powell envisioned a logo-style oval design suitable for merchandise like stickers and t-shirts. The artwork was finalized during the Gold Cup contest series, where legendary skaters Caballero and McGill prominently featured it on their boards at the Upland Finals. The Oval Dragon not only adorned a series of price point decks and complete assemblies, but it also became the hallmark graphic for all Powell-Peralta decks until the introduction of the Winged Ripper artwork in 1987.

Originally launched in 1980, this timeless design encapsulates the spirit of 80s skate culture. Whether you're using a reissue or a modern shape infused with classic elements, these wheels are your link to an iconic era of skateboarding. The RAT BONE II shape ensures smooth rides over various surfaces, making these wheels suitable for all types of skating.

With a white finish that completes their classic aesthetic, these wheels embody both style and function, affirming their place in the heritage of skateboarding. When you ride with the Oval Dragon wheels, you're not just skating; you're connecting with a significant part of skateboarding history. Grab your set and experience the enchanting blend of nostalgia and performance today!
