Powell Peralta DH – Snakes SSF – 66mm/69mm/82a (Blue)

DescriptionPowell Peralta Downhill Snakes Blue 66mm 69mm 82a SSF WheelsOur new Soft Slide Formula (SSF) will be formulated in multiple hardnesses, is faster rolling, and will outlast anything currently on the market by many times. Super fast, incredibly durable, and they slide. SSF is a new paradigm, opening up even more of our concrete and asphalt cityscapes, roads, and hills to skating.Snakes are the softest of the SSF / Soft Slide Formula family. Built for high speed control and extra roll on any terrain. Rail corners, slash driveways, cruise them and drift them. Snakes will roll farther with every push, slide easier, hook up more smoothly, and last longer.Diameter: 69mm, 66mm Width: 48mm, 46mm Contact: 44mm, 38mm Hardness: 82a Formula: Soft Slide Core: Centre Skin: Stone Ground Color: Yellow, Blue82a “SSF PRO” Yellow / Blue – This all new 82a SSF PRO formula found in 59mm G-Slides, 66mm and 69mm Snakes will be GRIPPIER than the current 75a offering, which is only possible through the magic of urethane formulation. This formula will be more in the pavement in comparison to the 75a which floats on top of it. On hot days, or under heavier skaters, I expect the blue and yellow will leave colorful ’thane lines. At 82a, this new formula will reduce the chunking which is common in our 75a or 80a wheels. You could describe the 59mm 82a G-Slides as an upgraded RoughRider that resists chunking and slides much easier.

Planting & Care – 3-in-1 Combination Peach Tree

Site Selection

Choose a location with excellent sunlight to ensure full sweetness and color.
Good airflow reduces fungal pressure, especially in humid or coastal climates.

Soil Preparation

Prefers well-drained loam or sandy loam; avoid clay-heavy or waterlogged soil.
Add compost to improve drainage and fertility.
Ideal soil pH: 6.0–7.0.

Planting Instructions

Plant at the same depth as in the nursery pot.
Water deeply and mulch with 2–3 inches of organic matter.
Keep mulch a few inches away from the trunk.

Watering & Fertilizing

Maintain consistent moisture during the first 1–2 years.
Deep water 1–2 times per week in heat or drought.
Peaches are medium feeders—use a balanced organic fertilizer in early spring if growth appears weak.
Avoid overfertilization, which reduces fruit quality and increases disease risk.

Pruning & Graft Management

Prune more vigorously growing grafts to maintain balance across the tree.
Encourage an open center to improve light penetration.
Thin fruit clusters to improve size and prevent limb damage.

Harvest & Use

Frost offers classic peach flavor with strong leaf curl resistance.
Salish Summer (Q-1-8) produces juicy, richly flavored fruit well-suited to cooler climates.
Indian Free provides brilliant red flesh and outstanding complexity.
Muir delivers exceptionally sweet, aromatic fruit.

General Tips

Combination peach trees thrive when graft vigor is balanced yearly through pruning.
Renew mulch annually and water consistently for best fruit quality.
Leaf curl–resistant varieties reduce the need for sprays in many climates.
