Spitfire formula four

Has anyone here tried the glow in the dark conical fulls? My shop only has the 56s in those and I’m considering them unless they’re notable worse and I should just wait for the next drop

my friend that I work with at the shop has them and he loves them and says they don't feel any different at all and that he'll probably get another set when the time comes

The new catalog is out.

Some good ones in there people might be keen on.  You can check for yourself though.


Anyone want some Conical Full 99 duro 60 mm wheels?  I know some people who have been wanting these for a while now.

[Joe Davola]

Oh my god they finally fucking made some colored classics.

[Xen]

Oh my god they finally fucking made some colored classics.

They did 2 drops ago, Chorma series.

I'm surprised they still do black wheels. I guess they sell? I own some black conicals only due to availability. Like with this drop, if you want a 101 radial, black is the only option. Plus BONES just did a black drop...

Interesting to see Radial slims hit the shops yet not in the drops.

[iw0]

the ave's are pretty classy and those blackout radials too, not a big black wheel fan but damn. good looking drop overall

[BartHarleyJarvis]

Glad to see the Leo radials in the drop. Also, love the AVE conicals, wish they did a 52 but I’ll still pick up the 54s

60 MM CONICAL FULL!!!

Spitfire is just gonna start selling a solid brick of urethane with a hole for bearings and im ready for it.

Lol for real. The 56mm Radial Full was huge enough. I like bigger wheels and it was too much for me to handle. I can't even imagine olling up a small ledge with some wide 60mm behemoths like that.

Where/what does one skate with 60mm conical fulls?

60mm conical fulls would add 4 pounds to the setup, probably a good calf workout to get the whole setup off the ground

It seems to me that black wheels are kind of on trend for younger folks. I don't get it and also dunno why they gotta pick on poor old radials but I think this is why.

I think 56mm CFs weigh almost 300 grams as a set, the 60mm might legitimately be close to a full pound of urethane with how much wider the CFs get at the bigger diameters.

The bigger issue is its just weird to pop with a 58+mm wheels. Feels so strange. Especially with how wide they will be, probably very strange locking into 50-50s even.

Just by riding a 8.5 with Ace/Indys and 56mm V6 people are shocked by how much heavier my board is than theirs when they try to skate it. Feels like you're kickflipping a canoe after skating other boards.

Shout outs to Jeff Carlyle for doing all that crazy shit on apparently 58-60mm wheels. I think T Funk rides 58-60mm OG Classics. Must be how all those guys go so fucking fast.

[Xen]

If I had to guess, maybe in T-funks case, and possibly others...when you're filming, getting clips, etc., you might need something different for that 'one spot' or to flesh out your part. Tech here, gnarhesh there.

No one is doing that China Banks ollie on 51mm wheels, that's for damn sure...knowwhati'msaying?

I can't do black wheels, but I guess if you weren't raised on "no black wheels ever", then it makes a lot of sense. White/off white and light coloured wheels get dirty pretty quick, especially if you skate dirty/crusty spots. Thats never an issue with black wheels

It's 2022, you can't talk like that.

I will say, having just recently skates at China banks, my 50mm-ish conicals handles the brick fairly well. I was definitely concerned I was going to have a much harder time skating but it’s actually decently smooth and the 99 F4 still grips pretty well.

Now T-Funk is an insane person and I still think it’s impossible he Ollied a long bench, that’s Hollywood magic. If he wants to ride 56-60mm wheels that’s because he’s super strong, super gnarly, and did I mention insane

[TurboVirgin]

Are these bubbles anything to worry about?  I sent an email and they haven't been able to get back to me yet.

[bbk]

They're not, just set 'em up!

[DRUNK_ASS_WIZARD]

Nothing to worry about.  The singular bubble is there to release air from the molds when they're making the wheels. 

[yourbreakfsat]

Nope, a lot of them have this bubble. It won't affect performance.

[TurboVirgin]

That's good news because I already put them on my shit.  Thanks.

[Banned from the room]

spanky had an orange conical in 99a f4 54mm not long ago.

[beandemon]

Old 60mm classics were essentially a coniful. Still smaller than a 60mm radial full and almost any 80’s 60mm wheel. Still a full sized piece of equipment.

[Boog]

I'm skating a pair of them right now. I really like the way they look and they feel no different than regular off white f4. I also have a pair of the blue skate like a girl radials.

I was thinking wheelsize for speed to make that bench ollie, not brick handling tbh.

[Radim]

I really like the feel and slide of 99a. However,  I flatspotted 54classics quite easily, same as bones ogs. With stf i do not have this problem, but they not slide as good. Talking About 99s

[downtodevin]

Is a gash like this normal on F4s? They are OG Classics and only about a few months old. Riding on pretty crappy asphalt and smooth skateparks. I have some F4 Classics that are more worn but don't have any gashes like this. Thanks!

I got a nice chunk like that on some 2 day old tablets recently. Don’t know if it was a production issue or me being a dumbass but I just switched em out for some classics and haven’t had any problems since.

Probably just unlucky and caught a rock or something that took a chunk. Shouldn’t affect anything too much, I’d say just keep running em

[Frank and Fred]

Square shape wheels are more vulnerable to chips like that.
