No problem. I work in the chemical industry and I know that once you have a formula that works it is most effective to use that formula to build new formulas.Many people here say NFG>F4 so I thought maybe NFG would allow Loophole to build off that formula.
while cool-guying is a real phenomenon, studies show that 83% of all cool-guying incidents can be attributed to the cool-guyee being an awkward weirdo
I’ve been skating for less than two years so please forgive my ignorance. Do wheels feel different when it gets cold out? The pair of OJ Hardlines I have don’t feel the same. I’m not sure if it’s the 40 degree weather or the fact that I let them sit on a shelf for two months after swapping them out. They just feel harder, and not in a good way. Was like skating on ice lolSpitfire is sending me some 97a RFs to make up for the defective ones I had. Can’t wait cause these ain’t it 😖
Wow sorry, didn't realise I was dealing with a sick cunt here
I’m not sure if it’s the 40 degree weather
97a radial fulls feel twice as fast than my lock in fulls with a wider contact patch out the gate.
I mentioned in the setup thread I had Keyframes (thought they were mini juices) - anyways, I may look to replace them eventually or just try something different. Anyone have good cruiser wheel recommendations??I've seen X97 Dragons enjoyed by a few, but I'm open to any suggestions. Preferably looking to keep the wheel size 58 or smaller
Aight gods, seeing how the topic is being somewhat discussed I figured I might as well ask. I film a bunch and went from Keyframes to Dragons (i have the 56mm wide ones)because sometimes Im skating around hills and shit on my filmer/cruiser board and I need to be able to slide but still mantain that cruiser wheel feeling. Although the Dragons where a game.changer for me they are still a bit sticky sometimes. Is there a wheel that is slightly harder but still has that cruiser wheel feel??? I was thinking of trying out the F4 97s but dont know if they would be too hard? Im not really familiar with the Bones roster and Im seeing a lot of their options being mentioned. So if anyone has any recommendations itd be greatly appreciated.

They are on the harder side still, and I imagine they would be pretty loud to film on

I sometimes film with my normal board when I dont have ny cruiser and its usually not a problem. Im more concerned with the overall facility to go over shit and navigate rough terrain

Nice riding surface, I personally love fat wheels, and they still break into slides pretty well (for being a bit softer). I run em on a hybrid cruiser/functional set-up, and they do everything in the street I need em to, minus being pretty bulky.

Thanks a lot guys, yeah I'm sure that bit harder wheel will absorb vibrations less which is something I'm willing to sacrifice for a bit better of a slide. Now the question here is which one do the gods prefer Bones x97 or Formula 4 97s???
