Hard Times Wheels! Fast as F#%K, Ultra-Premium “Wild Thanes” Urethane! Flatspot Proof!
These are the same sidecut shape the company made in 1990…not because it’s nostalgic but because it’s still a really damn good shape! They might say Hard Times but no corners were cut with these! This is the best urethane out there!
Save a little up front and even more later because they’re not going to wear out as quick as many other wheels. They’re technically 101a but don’t chatter like cheaper wheels, they ride more like a 97a/99a. With technological advancements since 1990, Blockhead’s high-rebound “Wild Thanes” formula is guaranteed not to flatspot!

Blockhead founder Dave Bergthold and former Uncle Wiggley production manage Dave Bedore dusting off the blanks and throwing down a bit of history before they’re loaded into Dave’s truck and driven down to Watson Laminates where they will be cut, sanded, painted and screen printed.
Blockhead Skateboards, which took its roots in a Northern California garage in 1985 under the leadership of Dave Bergthold, had a remarkable journey that spanned approximately a decade. During this period, CALSTREETS played a crucial role in distributing Blockhead skates throughout Canada in the '80s. This collaboration led to the forging of enduring friendships, unforgettable moments, the launch of successful careers, the creation of iconic skate ramps, and a wealth of unforgettable skateboarding experiences.
The impact of Blockhead on the skateboarding world was profound and multifaceted. Be it the original and striking artwork by Ron Cameron, the intense and heated sessions on 'The Blockhead Ramp,' or the numerous talented individuals who emerged from this era to leave their mark on the skateboard industry as professionals and industry shapers, Blockhead's legacy remains deeply ingrained in the fabric of skateboarding history.
