I saw a clip of Reynolds back tailsliding a ledge with brand new classic 99 f4a awhile back with the graphics out, is the boss a kook?

I still want to know how lock ins "really work" better than a radial or conical depending on which way you ride them too...

Edit: forgot the graphic part

The square edge really does lock into the coping or whatever you are grinding. Noticed it on round rails for sure.
Locked up on pivot fakies too.
The outward edge looks similar to the conical full.
I don't think it's A game changer, but they do help/work.

Yea they help you lock into round rails, but any other terrain i think it locks you in too much vs. helping with stability. I didnt like how it felt on coping or ledges.

As for the classic/f4, maybe I just like burning through wheels but I like the classics more than f4's. Once you get through that break in period they are great.

Lock ins still don't "really work" better than any tablet shaped wheel, asymmetrical wheels are a gimmick.

Yeah I never tried them but kinda just felt it was a bit of a gimmick. Thats why I went for some radials instead.

Reynolds does 3 graphic in and 1 out on his set ups...He claims the Madness is why he does it. I know because I still copy him to the day from the Piss Drunx days of me wanting to be The Bawse

Greco was a drag queen just for attention, then he turned his dickies into bell bottoms, then he bought real bell bottoms, then he made dress shoes with 4 toe caps, and sometimes people still listen to his opinions.

i want some new wheels for my tranny set up

WHERE THE HECK DID THE 101A 56MM RADIALS GO??

Edit found them at warehouseskatebords

NowhereInLife · « **Reply #1814 on:** November 30, 2018, 06:41:06 PM »

At the moment the f4 radial 53/99 is my goldilocks wheel, not too wide or thin, not too flat or round, not too big or small. Just perfect.

Would be so sick if they do some type of check or swirl patterned radial (in 53 please). Because i like to have my fetish objects aesthetically perfect...

before i destroy them.

Esmith5488 · « **Reply #1815 on:** December 24, 2018, 06:01:28 AM »

Just picked up the radial slims in the 101, was debating between that and the stf v2 but was afraid the v2 would be too thin. Thankfully wheels are 30 bucks so it’s not the end of the world to try something new and not be happy

Just funny looking, I do slappies on a 4 inch metal ramp at my local and it slices up my wheels.

Has anybody had a problem with the bearing "slipping" off the seat a bit on F4 Radials in 99a? Regular Radials not slims.
I constantly have to pound the bearing back in place on one of the wheels. Other than that these wheels are my favorite. I just feel my board slower and know its time to pound the bearing in.

I had that same problem, then I put some spacers in and 2 speed rings on the truck side instead of the other side. don't know if this'll work for you too though.

Anyone got dimensions for a tablet shape?
Are they more squared like the first Bones V2 or Rictas? If so, gross.

Also, can anyone compare F4's to OJ's Elite formula? Been riding spits so long I don't know what anything else feels like.

just tried some oj elites - very hard (obviously), didnt enjoy how they felt. far less slide than i was expecting. tooth rattlers for sure. sold them after one roll around on them. could have broken them in some more but i cant bear to be apart from the comfort of F4 99's
