Introducing Blockhead’s latest innovation in the wheel department: our revamped Hard Times wheel line, which made a triumphant return in 2016. We’ve been listening closely to the needs of skaters who don’t always have the luxury of smooth concrete surfaces, and we’re thrilled to present a solution that offers a more forgiving ride.
Meet our 95a 57mm wheel, meticulously crafted to bridge the gap between the hardness of a 101a wheel and the softness of a 78a cruiser wheel. This versatile wheel is designed to tackle weathered ditches, rugged streets, and rough parking lots, providing an exceptional ride while saving your feet from the harsh terrain. Plus, it still offers the speed you crave at the skatepark.
What sets these wheels apart is not just their performance but also their time-tested design. We’ve retained the iconic sidecut shape from 1990, not out of mere nostalgia, but because it’s undeniably an excellent shape for skateboarding. Rest assured, when it comes to quality, no corners were cut in the making of these wheels. We proudly stand behind the fact that this is the best urethane you can find out there!
In our recent tests, these wheels proved to be nothing short of amazing. They offer a smoother ride and enhanced grip, allowing for confident powerslides while maintaining impressive speed.

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.
