what's the closest wheel to bones spf's out there? oj elite formula?
It's pretty hard to compare Bones to any other wheel, especially SPFs, they're pretty unique in their feeling/performance. If we're comparing wheels by the numbers and not regarding cosmetics or performance I'd say NFGs are most comparable to the harder duro STFs, but as for SPFs I don't think there's another wheel on the market like it as far as I know
Yes I tend to agree.
Some other brands are super hard, but with that have all the unwanted super hard wheel issues, like flatspots on the smallest things, or slip out too easily.
Bones have had their own market for so long they are their own stand alone product.
OJs always felt no where near as hard, even the Insaneathane or whatever the name was, which was super hard, but if you pushed into one solid powerslide, you usually had a flatspot rolling away.
Another newish one being Hazard wheels which are again super hard and slippery, but just not fun to skate (for me, along with a couple of people who have tried them anyway) but that is not to say that some people will not like them.
Never had NFG here in AU, or a couple of other brands that people say are super hard, but everything else is just another one in line behind Bones or Spitfire for most people.
