The Bones Wheels X99 V5 Jhanka Gonzalez Vato Dog Sidecuts (53mm/99a) is a pro model built for skaters who demand speed, precision, and dependable control on every type of terrain. Featuring the innovative V5 Sidecuts shape paired with the next-generation Bones X-Formula™ 99a urethane, this wheel delivers the ideal combination of grip, controlled slides, and long-lasting durability. Designed around the skateboarding of Colombian powerhouse Jhanka Gonzalez, this model reflects his fearless approach to massive street spots, technical rails, and high-speed terrain where consistency matters most.
The graphic keeps things classic while adding personality. Crafted from natural white urethane, each wheel features a clean black inner ring decorated with repeating illustrations of a playful dog resting over crossed bones, circling the center hub. Surrounding the bearing seat are the Bones Wheels, Jhanka Gonzalez, X-Formula X99, V5, and 53mm markings, creating a timeless Bones aesthetic that blends professional performance with signature artwork. The smooth riding surface maintains a clean look while providing predictable break-in and consistent slide characteristics.
The V5 Sidecuts shape is engineered with sidecut walls that reduce drag during grinds while increasing overall stability. At 53mm tall, 31mm wide, and featuring a 15.25mm riding surface, this versatile profile offers quick acceleration, responsive turning, and dependable lock-in for technical street skating, ledges, rails, manual pads, and skateparks. The sidecut profile minimizes wheel hang-up while maintaining excellent control through grinds and slides, making it an outstanding all-around street wheel.
Powering this setup is the revolutionary Bones X-Formula™ 99a urethane. Developed over more than a decade by Bones Wheels, X99 combines extremely high rebound, exceptional speed, and an optimized grip-to-slip ratio unlike traditional skateboard wheels. It absorbs vibrations from rough pavement far better than conventional hard wheels while still delivering the crisp slide performance expected from a true street formula. Whether you're skating polished parks, rough city streets, cracked sidewalks, or aging asphalt, X99 rolls smoother, maintains speed longer, and keeps your body feeling fresher throughout long sessions.
The result is a wheel that performs confidently across nearly every surface. You'll experience quicker roll speed, less chatter over rough terrain, more predictable slides, improved impact absorption, and impressive durability that keeps performance consistent session after session.
This signature model honors Jhanka Gonzalez, one of Colombia's most accomplished professional skateboarders. Growing up skating the rugged streets of Medellín and Bogotá, Jhanka developed a fearless style that propelled him onto the world stage. He has represented Colombia in both the Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 Olympic Games, earned victories at elite amateur competitions, and secured his place among skateboarding's best through unforgettable video parts and Street League performances. Sponsored by Creature Skateboards, Independent Trucks, Bones Wheels, Vans, and Monster Energy, Jhanka continues to push modern street skateboarding with his powerful, high-speed approach.
