Last pairs of Hubbas and Caliskatz wheels didn't flatspot. But then again I don't powerslide that often. Accidental ones during tricks sure, and I was surprised they didn't flatspot whenever that happenedkhdhaksdjklsaek jklsadklasj lkjsrsad

Aren't Darkstars guaranteed?

Yeah, but some are more prone, like Spitfires.

Can't go wrong with Rictas

I always have a problem with my wheels coning.
One of my favorite lines is the one of spiked meth drnewton does off of lou pearlmans viarga and toddler-blood induced erection that finally puts that bitch 6 feet deep.

Bones STF. You would really really have to try to flatspot those.

The past two times I had a set of Rictas, they flat spotted in a few weeks. I gave up on them.

Ricta wheels are the worst, if I wanted to waste money I would donate to charity, but Bones STF's on the other hand, have no flaw in them at all.

 flatspot-proof wheels are made by the same company that makes break-proof boards, but i just can't remember the name of them right now.
sorry.

So far i've been really really trying.. and honestly i cant flatspot them at all.
Im on my fifth set of bones STF wheels and the only reason for having gone through so many is i keep giving them to friends who dont believe me when i tell them how good they are.

Pick up a set you wont be sorry.

I've seen maybe two pair of wheels that have been flatspotted in my life, I've been riding the same pair of rictas for going on two years now and they're fine. actually I bought them used, so who knows how old they are


how do you flatspot in two or three weeks?

i usually ride satoris

but i never get flatspots... even with (nose)blunts
ive only even had flatspots once and thats because they were old and had been in a hot environment without use for a few months
