Powell Peralta Wheels AV6 Dragon Formula Blue Nano Rat (56x36mm/97a)

Dial in a bigger, faster Dragon setup with the AV6 shape in 56x36. The AV6 uses an asymmetrical profile—sidecut outer face for agility and lock-in grinds, and a “lock-in” inner face that settles on coping. A center-set bearing seat and medium ride patch keep the roll balanced and predictable. Poured in Powell’s famed Dragon Formula 97a, these feel shock-absorbing on rough San Gabriel crust yet hold speed and slide with control on park concrete—perfect from Monrovia’s DIY curbs to Pasadena’s smooth lines. The Blue Nano Rat graphic pops on natural white urethane and nods to Powell’s playful VCJ-era art legacy.

Born in Santa Barbara in 1978, Powell Peralta helped define modern skateboarding—pioneering urethane formulas, iconic graphics, and the Bones Brigade era that shaped how we all skate. Dragon Formula continues that lineage: fast, smooth, long-lasting with a grippy-to-slide ratio that makes powerslides and long 50-50s feel easy, even on rough LA sidewalks. If you want speed without the chatter, these AV6s are the move.

Sticking close to the San Gabriel Valley, we like this 56mm size for extra roll through crusty alleys in Alhambra and stability on the bigger transitions around the Rose Bowl. Pair them with your favorite street trucks and go—less wheel bite, more distance between pushes.
