are the recent Busenitz F4s just regular classics with his name on them?  or are they special/shaped in some other way?

sub-question:  do guys get money from wheels with their name on them?

Regular old classics.

One would hope that pros get a royalty on wheels sold with their name on the.

The Donnelly wheels are a different shape, don't remember what it called but the riding surface is wider than the classics but less than the conical. They look pretty nice.

hands down some of the worst wheels I've ever skated

slides for literally no reason
eliminates ability to make sharp turns
if the ground is wet your wheels turn into butter
miss a 50-50 on a ledge, i dare you

they feel like i have rocks attached to my board

They are literally just about to go into production!

I'd say maybe a week or two before they are available for shops/distros to purchase, and a week or two after that until they arrive at shops (depending on location obviously).

what duro were you skating? i definitely slipped out a lot on the 101's, but the 99's have yet to be a problem for me. i switched to the conical full shape as well and i've never looked back.

101's are slippery in a dusty park but great on the street.  Also, you have to break wheels in before you can really judge them.  They wont be as slippery after a few sessions

Beyond hyped on this.  I'll be picking up sets for both of my setups as soon as they come out.  Great call on doing the Radials as a slim first.  Definitely my favorite shape you guys have.  They've always just been a little too wide for me

Hallelujah.

Why did I think it would take more than two weeks to make a bunch of wheels? They don't make them by hand.

We have yet to see the profile in a photo. Hopefully they are narrower than classics.

Was hoping for the Daewon shape.

Been waiting for a slimmer F4 for a while now, can't wait. I'm a big fan of the V3 STFs, so if they're anything similar to that then it'll probably be all I ever buy from now on.

Been riding 54mm 99a Classic shape F4s & LOVE them. I want to try another F4 variant for another "flavor". Was thinking 101a Conical Fulls for something on the other end of the scale. . . Sounds like more than a few of you finding the extra riding surface compliments the harder compound?

lol jokes aside i have a set of busenitz street burners pretty much unskated from like 6 years ago, those fucking sucked, spitfire stepped their game up for sure, still sticking with bones pretty much for the color, spits yellow out faster, better grip though.

I actually prefer a more yellowed wheel beats your wheel looking like it came straight off a Toys R US complete

I was hoping the slim part they were talking about would be the riding surface. I guess I just can't skate spitfires.

I feel like the riding surface width on classics gets a few mm wider after a week or two of skating anyways.
