Bones - distribution issues in Europe?

[xandeo]

Hi guys,

I live in Switzerland and I've been looking for some Bones 52's in 100+ durometer - none of my local skateshops seem to carry anything that fits this basic description.

Just came to Spain for holiday, checked out 3 different local skateshops and same thing - only 99's or 56 mm wheels available. I asked in the third shop if they don't carry any other Bones and they told they haven't gotten a delivery in several months.

Is Bones having distribution issues (Covid?), or is just everybody running bigger wheels than 52's?

This is a blessing in disguise. Go get some f4s.

The shortage on hardgoods is crazy, hardest hit include Bones and Powell, which all come out of one small factory, but others like Spitfire, DLX brands, and some hardgoods are also still on the endangered list.

Most have had some restocks, but mainly in the USA, not so many in other places round the world.
