These held up pretty well considering how fast and far a car dragged my board down the road.

been skating the radials recently and really digging them.  just set aside the 99a's  for the moment and going to give the 101a's a try as I've been in a lipslidin' ledges mood.  gonna save the 99a for when it's time to head indoors again.

Yeah same, last 101's i had felt way too slick but the set i am on now feel grippy enough.
99s are perfect for the indoor here.

yeah, that was my experience skating the 101a's when the F4s just came out... but feel like giving them a try again for the summer.  

the 99a's are definitely the best wheel i've skated for slippery stuff, especially indoors.


EDIT:  put the 99a back on.  the 101 are just too slick for my skating.

Fuuuck, I wanted some new wheels but wanted a real thin wheel that was on the harder side, so I bought a set of v3 STFs just earlier today. If I would've known that you guys were coming out with a thin shaped F4 I would've held out til a set came to my shop.

They're not f4's.
I searched the pdf and so far they don't make any f4's in classic thin.

Just bought a set of 101 duros today after riding STFs for nearly 5 years now, definitely feels a lot less "plasticy" then STFs. So far loving them!

The F4 version is in development, and will be available soon!

The Fulls are wiiiiide as hell, I felt them too wide. Conicals are a great size (if a bit too wide for me still).

I guess it would depends on what you are skating them on? I couldn't really see a need for the Fulls over the regular conicals honestly.

I might be in a minority here but I prefer the slip to grip ratio of the conical wides 99s over the classic 99s on all terrain.  Hope to try some Radials soon.

Radials are my favorite shape by far (just wish they were thinner).

Spits are pretty wide wheels, even the classics.

If you skate icy floors, the 99s are going to be your best bet (and rough streets). I'm riding the Ricta NRGs (Sandovals) and find them perfect, just a tad grippier than F4s but thinner.

F4's 5 months of use
once 54mm classics 101 duro, now they're 40 something and tablets
never had a problem and still roll smooth
f4's rule


third set ten months later same size shape etc, these held longer and didnt get as small
i <3 spitfire


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.

Set up my new board tonight with 52mm conical fulls in the 101a duro

These wheels are sick as hell. It's almost weird how easy it is to control the slide, different than anything i've ridden before.

Spitfire is fucking garbage, dont believe the hype. It took them 20 years to build a wheel that might not flatspot, yet they still don't have any guarantees? Don't support those scumbags

Look back in the earlier pages so many flatspots and problems. Get bones, darkstars or wrecks
