Small wheels and baggy pants...We are full circle once again. The slim ricta cores also look pretty slick. Also feel some type of way about the Nyjahs but at least theyre not the black n gold ones. Waiting on OJ Nomads 95a to drop.

My friend just got the new Ricta Wide Speed Rings as the only f4 99s were swirled color and gotta say they felt very nice. Good shape too. Im still using Easy Streets and the ricta slid better but were similar regarding feel. Didnt get to try them on really rough pavement but not a bad f4 99 replacement option and I never really see Ricta brought up here.

Not liking the new shape/hardness of the speed rings, but that’s what the kids are into. The old 103 Speed rings where my favorites until they discontinued them.
Same here...I was a fan, not wanting to risk the new ones...I'm eyeing they *shudder* Nyjah super slims tho, shape looks great:
So I bit because I needed grip and had to justify shipping costs
Bones V2 (L) | Ricta Nyjah 'super slim' (C) | Bones V3 (R) all 52mm (V3s might actually be 51).
Basically a slim Bones Lockin/
Thinner Radial Slim; my pics makes it look more rounded than it is (the render/stock shot is 100% correct tho). Compared to a V1 (not shown) the lip/cut is more square, less rounded.
This is exactly they wheel shape/width I have been looking for. Was gunning for Spit tabs in 101 as I really like the bones V2s but not feeling the 99s since I'm not hitting any crust.
Note: there is no 'NRG' branding on them at all so no idea what Urethane they're using...probably just the standard flat-spot formula
I'm not power sliding, so I should be good unless I get fucked with pushing that last 45 degrees on whatever.
