Why Inline Skaters Love 72mm Wheels – And Why You Might Switch Too

There’s a new trend rolling hard in the aggressive and urban skating scenes: 72mm wheels. What was once seen as “too big” for tech tricks is now becoming the new normal. But why?


Speed Meets Style

72mm wheels offer the perfect balance between speed and maneuverability. You get the fluid motion of urban skating, while still being able to grind and express your style. It’s no wonder skaters like @jarofrijn_ are experimenting with different setups during big events like the Hanglosers Super Bowl.

More Flow, Less Impact

Bigger wheels = smoother ride. Especially on rough city streets, 72mm wheels absorb more vibration, saving your knees and helping you flow from trick to trick without being stopped by cracks or pebbles.

Not Just for Freeride

Many aggressive skaters were skeptical. But modern frames and setups (like Wizard Frames or Big Block-style UFS) now make it possible to rock 72mm wheels while still going full send on ledges and rails.

Should You Switch?

If you like urban skating, flow, and speed — and still want to grind — 72mm might be your next move. Start slow: test it with flat setups or mix your wheel sizes. You don’t have to sacrifice control for smoothness.

Bonus: Style Upgrade

Bigger wheels don’t just feel good—they look bold. Pair them with matching skatewear from our Creative Bladers Etsy Shop and you’ve got a head-turning combo.
