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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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


I just want everyone to know that I'm only 32.8% skateboarder, and that's on a good day. The rest is just soy and cum.

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