Looking to pick up some F4s in 56mm. Never owned F4s or skated anything bigger that 54s

You will never want another wheel after trying f4.

Well F4 and the Powell Dragons and I agree

[munchbox]

Really trying not to buy those cast v-hollow ventures. I don’t skate ventured I usually go between Indy and thunder. I have some 5.6 ventures I just set up on an 8.5 deck to try and curve me wanting 5.8 cast v-hollows. The 5.6 feel super squirrelly to me and I don’t feel the stability people talk about. But damn the pop was nice.

if the 5.6s feel squirrelly definitely go for the 5.8
made the switch and the difference was immediately noticed
then went up to 6.1 but thats almost beside the point

Glad you said this. Cause now I don’t feel bad that I caved and ordered the 5.8s 303 had.

False.

They are good all around wheels, but SPF are faster in smooth bowls, and Dragons / X-97 are better in crust.

Might be false for you but I'm good with my f4 on all terrain.

[j....soy.....]

I want to try all sorts of stuff....that said, they are arguably the correct answer to all wheel questions.....

[Tom Pearl]

lol was holding out on skate warehouse to have a new years sale but it never happened

been wanting those manderson 5.2 venture lo's for a minute

[Mick]

Also been wanting some 5.2 lows... But I skate 8.25.
Anyone pair them on 8.25 anyway?

303 has a couple sets 5.2Ls with 25% off I think.
@Tom Pearl I don’t see mandersons though

[rawbertson.]

thunders and dragons are the last things on my list at the moment
also a hockey board but w/e dont care much about that as much
just got a bunch of stuff to fulfill madness for awhile. I have basically 2 setups i really really like. just got half cabs and new deck for when the snow melts to skate fresh

gonna probably change my indys for thunders on my 8.5" setup at some point and put dragon wheels on my 9.125" egg setup maybe later.

Thunders...maybe. Have mainly only ever rode Indy's and recently dabbled with ventures. The ventures i actually didn't hate and just got some of the loose conversion bushings to try them out again. Trying to decide if i should just run the ventures with the loose conversion bushings since the ventures are practically new or try thunders...madness is too real

Sell/give away the Ventures if you really are itching for the Thunders if not just keep going with the Ventures

Yea, i kinda agree with this. In order to manage my madness i had to try out everything i was interested in. but it only works if you make a decision after trying everything and stick to it or something near it

Thinking of getting mag light low for my 7.75, I don’t need it but I think I’ll start riding it if it’s super light, now it has some old royals that came with a complete for my wife about 5 years ago

put any truck you want (that fits) on a 7.75, it will be fairly light.

Just because I am annoying: I was pretty surprised how heavy venture 5.0 lo’s are. I wouldn’t change them, I think the weight is helpful, but certainly heavier than I expected.

[backside_frontside]

Spitfire F4 Radials in 52mm - kinda like the idea of a rounder edge wheel with a wider riding surface

Venture V-hollow 5.2 Lo - Been on the highs for a while now and I like em a lot, just kinda wanna try out the los.

[DERBY]

[Aquatic Dinosaur]

53mm classics.  I need the skinny road patch

[Uncle Flea]

Chukka boots are back!!! My prayers been answered

[Tom Pearl]

think im bout to blow $95 on a polar hoodie and a dime beanie from orchard, i really dont want to but the little voice in my head keeps saying "do it for skateshop day coward" even tho it's a week away.

[manysnakes]

The worst bushings on earth. Only buy if you want your Indy trucks to never turn again. If you want soft bushings, but the white ones.

Save that $95 for a vacation.

1010s but I feel that I’m either going to get heel slip or crush my small toes, if I don’t get the right size. 8 in Tyshawns and 7.5 in Fastbreaks fit me the best. Most people on here say to go down .5 a size but the two people I asked at the park said to go TTS.

Tyshawns skated really well for me, and I’ll probably go back.
1010s are real comfortable. Imo err on the side of heel slip, and joggers lace the shoe. 1010 is the most comfy.

[Mr. Pickles]

A 9 "curb" set up. Like a big heroin deck. IDK why, I know I can skate a curb on an 8.25.

They were TTS for me in size 11 with just the right amount of toe room.

Considering copping a pair of sale Ventures from the Orchard sale. I've only ever skated Indys and I'm curious about trying something else.

Yeah those red ones were not 88 duro and felt more like 92 to 94 from the clear container.

Funny thing with a new set (not the cross logo, but the diamond logo packaging) but they were actually soft and worked well.

Maybe it was a manufacturing issue with the older ones or something, but the newer ones are a bit more shiny red and way softer than the older ones.

They still come in cylinder (firmer feeling) and conical (more turn) too.
