How are they?

They were fine during a backyard session yesterday and felt similar to 101 F4's.  I was expecting them to feel like STF plastic but surprisingly they didn't.

Headed to the local park where the ground is similar to an ice rink today.  Will report back if I don't slip out and die

Every set of Pigs I've had I've liked, theyre not the longest lasting but they're a really good feeling wheel.

They were great.  not too grippy and not to slippery.  Felt very similar to Spit classics

are super reds worth the extra money?

[os89]

I don't think they are worth it. Get some reds and then whatever bushings you prefer instead with the extra few bucks. I had some on one setup last year and I was very unimpressed.

Love that graphic. Is that a full shape? I skated an 8.25 krooked recently that was a full shape and I didn't like it whatsoever. Flip tricks and everything felt so off on that board.
