I kept rotating them and flipping whenever setting up a new deck.

Is it my imagination or are newer batches of F4's less of a light natural color an more outright tan? Just got a set of F4 classics and they look weathered as fuck -- not that it matters in the end.

I just got a set from my local from the re-up batch DLX sent the shops after "the shortage" and they are the darkest ones I have had yet. Skate exactly the same though.

I actually remember my first few sets I had when they first came out all those years back being a lot more of a darker tan color and then over time as the years passed they got lighter and lighter.

The more off white the better IMO...

Width helps smooth out crust. Idk how crusty NYC is but 53-54mm is for smooth-ish ground to me. My homie out there rocked 53's but he probably skipped on extra crusty spots. 55-57mm for real crust?[close]Meh, biggest thing I've skated for years is 54mm. I live in PA and there's next to nothing that's actually smooth here. I've said it in another thread but I got 54mm pennswood winter tires. They're cruiser wheels(so really soft) taken through a lathe to make them smaller. They've become great for a real crusty spot. Otherwise, I go 53 or under and don't really have much of a problem. The wider the wheel the better though.

shop had the 53 conical fulls in 99a. wanted to try the 101a but would rather put money into the shop instead of shopping online, especially in these times. neckface graphic.took them for a spin to get some grip in the contact patch and holy fuck they go. the hill nearby my apartment is twice as fast on these spits compared to my mini juices. the usual shit in the street that would try to pitch and kill me was not a problem. as it stands, i might have to get a pair in 56mm for the cruiser and just never ride softies again

I'm usually in classics tho so wider should help.

while cool-guying is a real phenomenon, studies show that 83% of all cool-guying incidents can be attributed to the cool-guyee being an awkward weirdo

Clearly I have not been keeping up with this thread as that seems to be against the general consensus. I got the classics solely because I think they might flip a little better and all I'm doing these days is skating flat in front of my apartment.
