Spitfire formula four

I've been riding spitfires pretty much exclusively for the past 10 years. I've tried a few other things here and there, even jumped on the stf craze a few years ago, they just felt horrible, way to slippery and hard. not to mention the shapes are completely miserable, so much so that I would prefer a yellowing flat spotted f1. However, these past year or two I've ridden mostly spitfire classics, all of which for some strange reason haven't yellowed or got any substantial flat spots, and have out performed every f1 set i've had. I'm stoked to try the formula 4 wheels.

Bones makes 4 stf shapes for all styles of skating, if you can't find one you like you're doing it wrong

Or maybe... we dont like bones.

I just rode around on my backup board cuz it was in my trunk.
I can't stand the sound/feeling of bones stf anymore. 
my fourmula 4's still going strong, can't wait to get them in a conical shape.

Not liking bones is like saying you prefer crap wheels. Not all of us live near skateshops and can replace flatspotted wheels in an instant. I've skated for 12 years and no wheel resists flatspots better than bones.  Bones makes 100s for all you spitfire lovers, and their SPF formula is great for all you vert/ bowl skaters

You're beating a dead horse, every non sponsored skater will tell you bones are the best.

i hate everything about you tracer

It's not an argument it's simply my opinion, go ahead and buy your spitfires just don't come back saying they flatspotted and I didn't warn you

[noone1234]

your opinion has resulted in at least myself to believe that you should focus yourself.

"every non sponsored skater will tell you bones are the best."


what the fuck kind of sentence is that? every non sponsored skater is pretty much every skater and i guarantee that you don't know "every non sponsored skater." you're stupid as shit. i hate you.

Bro you're getting a little too heated over this. I love bones wheels and believe they're the best, as do most people

chill man, chill

[noone1234]

i'll chill when my lifeless body is put on ice 

[dillanharp]

Fuck Bones. When Gershon Powell, everything that had to do with that company lost credibility. I've only ever ridden spitfires though, but Bones are for some mini logo riding squares in my book.

[Firebert]

Bones STFs feel way better than Spit F1s to me. I mean sure they're gonna be more slippery when they're 3 durometers harder and never flatspot. Can't wait to try those F4s though.

[ice nine]

my local shop owner said she got a set and they were nothing like stf's, she said they were sticky feeling

[b.v.]

They are't sticky, just not as plastic slidey feeling as bones.
Conical shape in front, classic shape in back.

[b.v.]

I think they aren't all that shape. That's the "lock-in" shape, I actually really like the color as well.

[b.v.]

I never said they were all the same shape...

[Dick Butkus]

I never said they were all the same shape...

I know you didn't, I was just clarifying...

[peewee]

Hey in those pics they don't look as tan off colored like in Zoltans pics

Can not wait to try these. The conical shape looks nice.

sweet, thanks b.v.

[the snake]

what is their hardness?

[ThugWaffle]

Does anybody else get the urge to like bite new wheels? no...? me neither.

[layzieyez]

I haven't ridden a set of spitfires since 2008. I've been skating mostly bones stf and spf wheels with some satori and autobahn. I'm really excited to hear they changed the formula. I've flatted stf and spf wheels and I don't like how slippery the newer sets of bones are. I can't wait to give these things a chance. Please hurry the hell up though because you got me riding some yellowing autobahns while I wait.

[Powdered Toast Man!]

my local shop doesn't carry spitfire so i'll have to get em online, but don't know where to look
suggestions?

[el chino]

google chrome?

[foureyedjim]

My friend is skating a set of 101a, so I'm assuming the softer F4 will be 100a or 99a
