I just bought a set of the full shapes yesterday, probably going to set them up tonight. The only weird thing is that one wheel is lighter (color wise) than the other three. Probably nothing, but I thought it was strange.
Look I'm not selling anything that doesn't have my jizz on it. I don't care how much is offered.

The 101a are slick as hell. Really fun to powerslide on but I was always nervous taking turns at high speeds. One time I was carving a bowl and all of a sudden just started bs powersliding this corner. I havent tried the 99as yet I wish they would make them in 100s!

I got the 99 classic shapes in a 53. Haven't set them up yet but these good reviews seem very promising.

Local shop got them, but the 99a where sold out except for 52 and that's to small for me, going to get some maybe next week.

I've noticed prices all over the board for them. From $39.95 to $55.  What's the MSRP?

Some "skateshops"...ahem... are shady as fuck these days.

Don't pay over $35... That's fucked.

Most spitfires at 510 skateboarding in bekreley always had em for $28 and bones stfs were $35 so I'm sure the formula 4s should be about the same as regular spits. There's no price difference between regular spitfires and the f1s

I got some 99 classic shapes in 54. considering how these have been so far for powerslides, i'd be scared to try 101's.
no complaints so far.

the 101's are definitely grippier than STF's. didn't feel like i was sliding out constantly on a metal quarter, but used to with the bones.

I've been skating strictly bones stf's for around four years now. How hard would it be to get used to the 99a formula fours?
Has anyone made the transition from Bones STF's to 99a Formula Fours?

I love the feel of sliding really well on ledges that aren't caked with wax, but it's a bitch to slide out at parks all of the time.
If anything, I'll just opt for the 101a wheels --- I'm just looking for some feedback

The classic shaped 99s slide really well and screech, but 101's will be a better replacement.
I only noticed the slickness at one new skatepark that is pretty damn fast.

These F4's are the truth, I was shocked how responsive they are.  If everyone's wheels are sliding like mine are, expect the next magenta vid to literally be the silliest shit of all time hahaha.

me. just set my 101 54mm today and i must say i goddamn im sold
what i loved/hated about bones was the easiness and effortlessness to powerslide.
with these you can actually feel the grippiness the F4s have on the ground right away and you can powerslide about the same(but gotta put more weight/go slightly faster)
zero flatspots
made me feel much more confident and had control over the board than being slippery with bones.
also, slappys felt easier on classical shape than stf tablets, but thats just me
AND theyre louder!


I just want everyone to know that I'm only 32.8% skateboarder, and that's on a good day. The rest is just soy and cum.

ARE THEY BETTER THAN THE BONES MINICUBICS ?

OF COURSE NOT
BONES MINICUBICS GRIP LIKE GORILLA PAWS
POWERSLIDE WITH STYLE
AND THE DOUBLE ROUNDED EDGES ARE PERFECT FOR COPING, CURBS AND XTREME LANDINGS


BUT MAYBE I WOULD TRY A F4 IF THEY CAME IN 64

I was thinking the same thing as I was powersliding over double pump humps and down stairs at the park

Did you get new bearings as well?
Do you tighten your wheels up a lot too?
Both those things make new wheels feel a bit weird.
Just a thought.

Got the 99's in 54, can't wait to set them up. Just gotta tear through these shitty shop wheels first.

Nallid bought some for himself last week and fronted me money for mine too. I got 52 classic 99s and took em out for the first time today. went to Roosevelt skatepark in SJ and was expecting some slippin and slidin but they actually gripped really well and slid super good on the ledge. I think Nallid flatspotted his so if they don't smooth out and Circle-A doesn't swap em out im sure he will be hitting up that warranty action. Thanks again Nallid!

Spitfire is blowing it lately Darkstar and Bones have  flatspot guarantees on their wheels. If formula 4 doesn't work out I will never trust them again

pretty sure darkstar just has that because not enough people ride their wheels to prove them wrong.
