So I’ve skated the easy streets a few times now. I have the v5 in 53mm. They feel pretty much exactly like f4s to me (ive been on mostly 54 conical 99s lately). They slide fine, grip well (so far only skated them on black top). The only thing that bothers me is the sound. When i powerslide, they don’t bark. They make a sound that’s almost like a lazer. It’s really weird and confusing. I love how white and clean they look but I probably won’t buy them again. If I notice any thing different after more time, I’ll come back and chime in again.
