Overview
The RipTide Falcon Skate Cushions 8-Packs are a full fresh set of cushions in any color or hardness that you like for your Pilot Falcon Plates. They have the same conical shapes that come stock on Pilot Falcon Plates and other Atom or Jackson Skates with the Pilot Falcon Plates but it is important to note that they do not fit Atom Pilot Viper Plates because the cushion heights are a little different but the RipTide R5055 Skate Cushions are compatible with the Atom Pilot Viper Plates if you are looking for the right compatibility.
They have two different formulas with a range of durometers, the "APS" and "Krank" formula. Please refer to the chart below to choose the perfect hardness for you!
| RIPTIDE HARDNESSES EXPLAINED | |
|---|---|
| APS The "APS" formula is a very bouncy and popular formula among a wide range of skaters from any outdoor beginner to derby jammers or switches and street skaters that need high-rebound. APS ranges from 65A-8A but 75A-80A is a more ideal medium for most riders. |
|
| KRANK The "Krank" formula is tougher, harder and faster ranging from 84A-90A. 84A would be great for a skater that wants to dip their toes into a harder cushion without losing too much fluidity. As a rule of thumb: harder cushions are great for stability and feel softer for heavier skates, while softer cushions are more ideal for agility and skaters that are lighter in weight as they allow more free movement. |
