ABOUT SHARK WHEEL

SHARK WHEEL – BASED ON NATURE’S MOTIONS

The Shark Wheel actually outperforms the circular wheel in about every category. Scientifically proven in years of University testing, lab testing and real-world testing. Significant advantages: friction in motion, longevity, rebound, abrasion resistance, and off-road performance. Multiple Fortune 500 companies use the Shark Wheel in other industries for a reason. It’s about the wheel mirrors Nature. Everything in Nature alternates. The way fish and sharks swim, the way radio waves move, the way planets move around the Sun and even how humans walk with an alternating gait..

WHY ARE SHARK WHEELS BETTER?

SKATEBOARDING GOES OVER ROUGH TERRAIN

The ability to go over rough terrain is the #1 advantage. The 30 degree approach angle of the Shark Wheel strikes obstacles at an angle and tends to push them left and right out of the way. A traditional wheel acts like a steamroller and tries to go over objects, while Shark Wheels tend to move around them. The angle also reduces shock significantly (think of going over a speed bump in a car an angle to reduce the shock)

PALLET JACK LAST 50% LONGER

In pallet jack/forklift wheels (material handling industry), Shark Wheels last 50% longer because they dissipate heat in a sine wave footprint (the most efficient shape)

CASTERS 57% LESS FRICTION

In casters, Shark Wheels have 57% less friction when in motion making it much easier to push carts, wheelchairs, and other applications that use casters

FARMING MINIMIZE TRENCH DIGGING

In farming, Shark Wheels are the only wheels that don ' t continue to go over the same path. So, they significantly minimize trench digging, which costs farmers a lot of money and time to repair. Trenches also lead to the failure of other equipment (gear boxes, drivetrains, etc. ). In the most recent test (funded by the US Government), Shark Wheels dug a 1" trench, while the industry leading wheel dug a 14" trench.

There are many more advantages, but those are a few that have been scientifically proven by San Diego State University, Mechanical Engineering Department in 2 years of tests, as well as lab testing and other real world tests. There is a reason Fortune 500 companies, Samsonite, Harley Davidson, NBA, NFL, PGA Tour, MLB, NHL, Olympics and the US Military use products with Shark Wheels.

PATRICK

In this video, Sharkwheel inventor David Patrick discusses how he came up with the idea to combine a circle and a square. How can a design that is based on a cube roll perfectly and outperform regular wheels? Watch and learn. Or, even better, order and see for yourself;)

ABOUT THE SUCCESS IN THE SKATEBOARD INDUSTRY

There is a reason Shark Wheels have thousands of 5-star verified purchase reviews on Amazon. The wheels have been scientifically proven to outperform the traditional wheel in nearly every category. Scientifically proven by San Diego State University, Mechanical Engineering Department, lab testing and real-world testing.

SKATEBOARD WHEELS ADVANTAGES

ROUGH TERRAIN

The best wheel over rough terrain. The sine wave shape tends to pushdebris and small objects out of the way smoothing the ride. Also, the best wheel over wet conditions.

APPROACH ANGLE

Shark Wheels perform similar to how drivers intuitively know to go over a speed bump at an angle to reduce the shock in their car. The unique 30 degree approach angle of the Shark Wheel reduces shock and deflects objects due to its approach angle. A normal wheel is a steamroller and tries to go over obstacles in its way. Shark Wheels tend to move around objects.

LAST LONGER

Scientifically tested to last up to 50% longer when cruising. Shark Wheel has multiple center points compared to one center point on a traditional wheel. Flatspot resistant.

BETTER SLIDE CONTROL

The Shark Wheel actually spins as it slides acting like a car's antilock brakes. The 3 lips of the Shark Wheel compared to 1 lip on a traditional wheel give predictable slides. Also, slides are easier to initiate due to less surface area in contact with the ground-less friction to initiate slide.

LIGHTING FAST

Less friction touching the ground, less rolling resistance. 57% less rolling resistance.

DAVID PATRICK

CHIEF TECHNOLOGY OFFICER

Inventor of the Shark Wheel and the 4 Sphere turbine, David is on his third startup company. David previously was the founder of Proventedge Technologies, a California software company focused on the mortgage banking industry. Prior to creating his software company David was the founder of California Capital, a mortgage banking firm. David currently serves as the Chief Technology Officer at Shark Wheel. He is a one-of-a-kind inventor and discovered a fundamental shape inherent in Nature’s motions. David believes in the phrase ‘innovate, never imitate’ and he is constantly in development on various wheel applications and improving the existing design for new generations of release. Shark Wheel is David’s third startup company. His first company, Pacific Western Financial did loans in the state of California. Eventually Pacific Western became California Capital, funding tens of millions of dollars in mortgage backed loans all across the United States. During this time, David’s internal systems led his company to be successful and he was a leader in his industry, revolutionizing many key processes using technology instead of manual systems. Once the company was sold in 1997 David took the technology he developed and founded the Provantedge Software company. The software was designed for the entire mortgage banking industry and was a true end to end solution. Provantedge processed all types of loans from FHA, VA, Conventional and all others for all 50 states. The software that he designed along with his partner was light years ahead of his competitors and was the first of its kind to introduce many new technologies. He sold his advanced software to companies including Boeing Employees Credit Union, Ford Employees Credit union and many other financial institutions. Provantedge was also the first company to successfully submit loans to Freddie Mac when the industry was in its infancy. David was instrumental in inventing an all in one system that revolutionized the industry by being the first to use XML standards. His software is still in use today. David was the founder at Provantedge along with his partner David Hall and worked on this project and company from 1997-2003. David also served as inventor and CTO at 4sphere, a novel wind and water turbine company that was picked up by the Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator as its resident portfolio company for turbines in 2012. David attended Orange Coast College with an engineering focus but left to pursue a career as an entrepreneur.

Third startup company as Chief Operating Officer. Pro tennis player for 10 years. Handles day-to-day operations for Shark Wheel. Zack brings tremendous strength to the Shark Wheel management team. Ranked #11 in the United States on the ATP Professional Tennis Tour, he proved that he is no stranger to hard work, sacrifice, and success. Having been a professional athlete for over ten years (2000-2011 with 4 injury-riddled seasons) instilled in Zack a tremendous work ethic and attention to detail. While on the ATP Tour, Zack started his own company, Z Management, which turned into one of the most successful tennis instruction businesses in Southern California. Z Management has created junior champions, adult champions and has secured many scholarships to various universities. Zack began by getting Shark Wheel into the Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator as one of its resident portfolio companies. It was there that Zack chose to launch a Kickstarter campaign (2013) to bring the Shark Wheel idea to the masses. Zack also served as Chief Operating Offices at 4sphere, a novel wind and water turbine company that was picked up by the Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator as its resident portfolio company for turbines in 2012. Attended UCLA with business and economics major.
