Anyone tried the Spits Luan conical? I need opinions fore' i buy thankssss
How slidy it is? compared to 101's spits and ricta nrg (81b)
and the feel of the wheels
how it does on grinds/ledges and stuff

there 99a duro. i skated the conical wides and personally prefer the classic shape f4s. my friend who always skated classics has em and isn't too into em. we primarily skate street ; ledges and flat.  conicals are supposed to lock in better into ledges/coping from what i've read on here.

^^^That entire new Broadcast line looks great. I love the variety of shapes they used. The Zach Lyons wheel looks really good for anyone that likes wides.

I would be down to give Broadcast another look, they sponsor some really good dudes, but the 53. Crop Circles scared me off a little bit. I am no weight whore but for a 53m wheel they were noticeably heavier and bulkier than everything else I skate.

Thanks for the heads up, Heritage. If I do pick up a set, I might size down and grab the Coakley 52s.

I sold the Satoris to a friend. They were really good quality, probably a bit too grippy. I would get them again, as they seem like they'd last a long time.

First set of Prize Fighters.

I'm still skating my Ricta NRGs, I honestly can't find anything wrong with them.  I have swapped back and forth with spits - 101 radials (too wide) and 99a classics (too slow).

They're super fast, slide great, no flat spots yet, grip as well as any other wheel at speed, great shape too, not too thin, not too wide.

Reupped on Autobahn Appleyard wheels this afternoon.  ;D



How do those skate? I've considered dual durowheels but I don't think I've heard much about them.

Bloodwizard decks are amazing. They have made all other decks feel boaty and heavy in comparison: they are thinner and lighter than anything I've ridden (even P2s) regardless of size great concave and super crispy; I don't know how they do it or why others haven't. The only downside is they make all their decks short, nothing 32" in length and wheelbases around 14.3ish. My BW is 8.37 (skates like an 8.25), was riding an 8.38 baker (skates like an 8.5) to shake things up and it just felt like a plank/boat (totally skate able just a noticeable/different feeling). I've got an 8.125" on hand I can't ride has it feels like a 7.xxx" so skinny.

Every time I switch it out, I end up going back to it (and it's pretty much done) - guess that is telling me something ;) As of today I am forcing my self to ride fat 8.25" so BW are out as there's is 31.5 long or something, so stubby...

I picked up a set of STF V5s (53 neon Raybourns) as I really like the shape and wanted to try them out. Shape is great and they felt very different than the V5s I have on hand and better than STFs I have ridden before, slide and chirp were great, fast too...but I flatspotted them! Didn't noticed until a few days after when I hit a park, I tried skating it out and doing the flatspot trick, no dice, it's still there. Hopefully Bones hooks me up, for not it's back to the Ricta setup (and maybe .sml depending on the setup).

Been skating slippery parks lately so I wanted to try out a wider wheel with a bit more grip so I'm giving the conical 99a's a shot.  Buddy at the park had them and they looked rad so I picked up a set

Compared to the super skinny wheels that i normally ride, these look like baked potatoes

I checked out the new drop of BW decks at a local shop....they changed woodshops and lost their thin-ply, light/stiff feel - now they feel just like anything else out of mexico =(

I've been skating the ricta 54 speed rings for a only a few days and I love them. They are faster and smoother than my bones 56mm.

No clue. A Slapal mentioned that they were made by a sister company to dwindle (whatever that means since Dwindle is it's own distro., unless they meant pressed at Dwindle), but I've never seen a Dwindle (or other deck co.) make a deck that looks and feels like this. I only know of Shorty's saying their decks are thinner than the industry standard 7ply stuff. It's very noticeable just by holding them (I don't have calipers so I can't measure) but I'd say they feel/look at least 2 plays thinner while still being 7 plys.

Sorry to go off topic but since we're on the subject.. Do any other companies make thinner or thinner feeling boards? I like that alot and I'm pretty light so I don't break boards ever. Crailtap kinda has that but they're so fucking flat...

I had a Black Label Alfaro Pro model some years ago that felt pretty thin and light, yet stiff... I really liked that deck! Dunno the woodshop they use.

Older Bloodwizards are that way, new Fall drop isn't. The Habitat Raptor series is pretty thin as well but outside P2s I haven't found anything consistent pressed with thinner plys (and I've looked); you could try the almost Double impact? 6 plays of wood and 1 carbon fiber ply. I've never held one as no one carries them. Anyone comment on if they are thinner? BMC had one I think?

They're great wheels, a bit grippier than STFs but other than that, top notch!

Got a shop guy rolling on a set of Wayward wheel at the moment, this dude honestly gives no fuck about what he rides, if I give him something, he'll shred it till its dead, so with that being said we normally just take down some notes/comparisons and I put the rest together in a bit of a rant/review of the product.

What we've come up with goes a little something like this...

Straight out of the wrapping you'll notice one thing, these wheels look like true urethane wheels, no plastic looking all white or over kiln'd type wheels like your popular STF & F4 wheels, Wayward look like what Spitfire F1's should of been!
Print wise, you'll notice the wheels have a small logo & size printed on each wheel, but on the other side of one wheel only, a full scale print with the Pro's initials as well, something a bit different to the regular, but its cool to see something a little different these days. Also a point of individuality to be made, each pro has chosen they're prefered duro & size for their wheels, in this case we're using the Chewy Cannon 101a 52mm wheels.
These days, every company is making claims or using gimmicks to promote their product, as far as we're aware, wayward don't, they market the way you would expect a true skateboard company to, let the pro's put it out there what they ride, let the skateboarders choose what they think will suit them and then let the product speak for itself.
We've got some rather shitty surfaces to roll around on in these parts and so far the wheels are holding up a lot better than we anticipated, no faults, no chips or flatspots as of yet, but the best part about these wheels is that you honestly feel like you're totally in control of the wheels no matter what surface you ride, they grip when you want them to grip and they slide when you want them to slide.
Obviously if you were to compare these wheels to the likes of the STF, NRG & F4 wheels, you'd probably find these may not roll as fast as the likes of them, but you wouldn't go as far its the end of the world, as they do roll rather fast considering and as we said before, you feel in control and comparing them to some of those other formula's, we've had instances where they can be a wild ride on certain surface's, not to say thats not fun sometimes, but you can't deny how good if feels to know you're not going to randomly wash out on a smoother'slippery surface with these wheels.

All in all, Wayward's got something damn good to offer the guy who wants to try something new, they may not be the biggest brand out there or the new big thing when it comes to wheels, but if you're the type of guy who wants a good looking, solid, reliable and reasonably price set of wheels, we highly suggest you give waywards a try.



P.S. I'm well aware that other companies do match their wheels to what the pro rides also, but so far wayward is yet to go into detail about how these wheels are apparently going to make you a better skateboarder etcetera etc... If you're the type of guy who likes hitting the local spots/parks, hits ledges, flatbars, banks and small transition, i think you should give these a go for yourself.

I'm all for trying out new brands but a slow wheel is not what I look for. Speed first, grip/slide second. Main reason I can't skate .sml or OJs, they feel soooooo sloooooow.

My sml's bummed me out for that reason.  I liked everything about them but they were the only wheel that I've ever had that was drastically slower then others.  101 F4's roll faster than the 99's but it's not incredibly noticeable.  NRG's seemed a little faster than STF but the difference is minimal.

My sml's felt like like I was rolling through molasses

That's wild to hear Steve. Both pair of SML wides I had seemed pretty fast, but were really slippery. They sketched me out many times I felt like I was sliding out from everything. I fully back those dudes that are running SML and the team is sick, but the wheels are too slick for my tastes.

To the guy that asked about Autobahn, they are my go-to. Always consistent and I like the feel. It all comes down to personal preference always, and there are a lot of great wheels, and shape choices available from smaller companies these days: PFC, AB, Paradise, Satori, Type S, etc. Autobahn always seem to be a great balance between of speed/grip/slide.

I am currently skating a set of Paradise and I like them as much as Autobahn. I'm going to be staying on these for awhile. Really nice wheel that is fast, and will slide smooth parks or super rough spots.

I definitely back sml as a company and the team.  It is possible that maybe I got a set from an off batch or something because I've heard others say they are fine.  I think only Xen and I have noted that they're slow. 

I definitely want to give Paradise a shot if you recommend them.  You and Xen are my wheel gurus haha

Fair point, we tested these wheels on two types of surfaces, our local park which has the one of the rougher flat surfaces around here and a prefab park that has slippery wood componants, the wayward 101a roll rather similar to the 99a F4 on the rougher surface park, the STF & NRG formula are faster, but they're definantly not a sluggish wheel, like OJ's and Spitfire Parkburners.
Another point I should make though is our park recently had all the transitions and banks painted, on the banks you could really notice how the waywards had more control and when we rode them on the slippery as fuck Rhino Ramps, they didn't slip out randomly like the STF's, NRG & to a lessor extent, the F4 101's do.. But they will still slide when you want them too as well, rather buttery like a coloured spitfire wheel...?
It comes down to what you're riding, if you're riding shit surfaces, you're going to want the hardest formula's going, as the rebound on those formula's allows you to roll faster without taking too much of the surface in and as much as you can skate those same wheels on the more slick/slippery surfaces, that same rebound factor can cause you to lose control on the occasion as its not taking the surface in as much as a true urethane wheel will..

I only compared the waywards to the new age urethane wheels as they're what are more popular, but in all honesty, I shouldn't, because what wayward has done, is made a one of the best (if not the #1) true urethane wheels on the market and holds it own compared to those new age wheels, but if you look at whats out there for the true urethane market (SML, Gold, Autobahn, Broadcast, Spitfire F1 etc..) you'll find that these wheels are amazing in comparison, especailly for the price (Australian store, our RRP is $60 for a set Wayward, which is also the same price as Spitfire F1's and the waywards are far superior to them, where as the NRG, Bones & F4's wheels are $70 a set)

P.S. - I'm sure the term True Urethane is probably the worst way to describe wheels as they're all urethane, but given the chalkier look of new age wheels, some people may understand what I mean when I say it.

I know none of this is cool but I'm old, I only skate parks of varying quality, and I love the Bones V3. Where can I go from here?
