Truth be told, I'm a bit shocked that 99a is the leader; I thought 101a would be the top spot.

Too hard for these crusty streets. I tried them, but literally the whole body numbness after charging down a hill or hauling ass down the shitty road sucked. Whole body vibrations haha. They slid nice, but 99a just feel better.

Depends on how crusty I guess

it has to be complete shit for me to go to 99a; I'll accept a level of tooth chatter for that non-stick slide of a 101.

This poll seems off. There's gotta be more than 2 people riding Bones STF 83b. They're one of the most popular wheels around. I know slap is riddled with f4 99 fanboys, but still.

F4 99a. I like what I like and I’ve been riding those for a long long time. Tried other brands and decided to stop wasting my money on anything and stick with what works for me.

99a work for me on my crusty neighborhood street and at the local school, although a friend has some 101s and he does just fine.

TwisT · « **Reply #12 on:** September 13, 2020, 06:19:56 PM »

99a don’t slide!!!

83b or nothing

Huh? Did you just start skating in the past 5 years or so? BONES were literally the SHIT FOREVER before F4s rolled onto the scene...since Spit F1s were flatspotdogshit...there was nothing better than BONES...I'm still in the BONEs camp.

F4s still feel sluggish to me in smooth park compared to the hardest stfs and prefer the 99 stf over 99 F4 on super crust...but 101 F4s are still my favorite feeling wheel on the streets/sidewalks.

SLAP is the f4 fanboi club, no doubt about it.

But WTF do I know I'm currently riding Rictas

Every time I see old stock darkstar wheels on eBay, I wonder if they’re worth it.

F4 99a for me, perfect all terrain hardness, grip when you need it and slide when you don't.

Mesteezo · « **Reply #17 on:** September 14, 2020, 07:51:50 AM »

Bones SPF 84B on smooth concrete parks/bowls

F4 99A for everything else.

Murge · « **Reply #18 on:** September 14, 2020, 07:53:52 AM »

F4 101a radials. No complaints. But I’m debating on trying f4 99a classics. I’m just worried the won’t slide/power slide but since they are classics I think they would slide fine since the smaller contact patch and feel a little smoother in crust? Or maybe some easy streets v1 or v3s
