Dead x Roadhouse Kit

  • Nils Jansons

Roadhouse, or Randy Spizer, is a former professional inline skater from the early 1990s. Randy represented something new and motivated the younger generation to skate. The generation of skaters before Roadhouse was very 'grown up' and seemed to take skating very seriously. When Randy came along, he looked like he was simultaneously having fun and skating better than everyone else, and many young skaters could identify with his style. The then iconic company Senate captured his image perfectly with their wildly popular Anti Rocker Crayon wheels, which instantly became a cult product.

To honour the 25th anniversary of the Senate “Roadhouse” anti rocker wheels, Dead Wheels, known for its business model based on hot collaborations, teams up with Randy Spizer and Arlo Eisenberg to create an authentic update of this classic.

The Dead x Roadhose set includes: a set of standard 58 mm 92a wheels, a set of 45 mm 101a anti rocker wheels, a metal pin, a pack of stickers and an amazing set of collector's cards with behind-the-scenes footage from the filming of the video accompanying the launch of the entire project. The photos were taken by respected photographer Shawn Engler (Rejects magazine, Radius Media).

According to Dead Wheels' designers, the 58 mm size is the optimum size for both street and skate park use. A versatile size whose small diameter ensures a low centre of gravity and therefore offering much easier grinds. At the same time, 58 mm is big enough to help with stability when skating over any bumps. The slightly rounded profile means an increased contact area with a surface, which also translates into improved durability.

The 92a hardness wheel is a widely-used and versatile option suitable for everyday use. It strikes a balance between grip and lower friction while grinding, making it suitable for both street skating and smooth skate park surfaces. It is an ideal choice for those who often skate in various locations or are unsure of their personal hardness preference. A popular use for Dead Wheels' 58 mm 92a is as an outer wheel in the traditional anti-rocker setup.
