i really want these and if im honest not even to skate them; maybe to cruise to work at most.
they're just really aesthetically pleasing to me.
haven't tried city cups on, so that's holding me back. also money.
I’m skating the red suede ones, and tbh they would have been totally shot, hole in the toe from kickflip and a hole in the side on the Ollie area, in 2 weeks of it weren’t for shoe goo. Love the way they feel on the board but not worth it if you aren’t doing anything to extend the life of your skate shoes

Same here I want both of these and would put 169s on either but I’m holding back as I have a brand new deck untouched on those trucks now

169s on the winkowski skate great, the shape makes it so that they fit perfect

somehow I hadn't considered 169s and just jumped right to 215s but this sounds perfect i'm gonna get them as well. Just to be a dick I'm going to get hollow ones

I am currently attracted to the Kodak collection with Girl.

The Rick Howard deck and some of the shirts are of interest to me.

But Crail wood is not great, right?
[close]

Heard on slap that new Crail wood is good?? never bought crail so wouldn’t know first hand
[close]
crail wood is pretty trashy. Anybody who says that crail wood is good either doesn't skate, is completely regular, or is mismatching the brand or manufacturer
[close]

I just starting riding crail again after like 20 years of not and I think it's pretty good.  I'll go get checked out.
[close]
Compared to other brands, crail is not as durable or solid. What brand are you using thats made by crail cuz not all of their brands suck completely
[close]

I'm skating a new girl b-ball series deck and it's lasting me just as long as a generator deck. Noticeably different from their old wood and the heat transfer graphics doesn't flake off anymore.

Currently on the city series and it’s flaking by the truck, but that stuff generally doesn’t bother me and I’m having a great time on the shape

Classic formula Spitfires. Haven't skated a set in many years and am kind of curious about how they feel compared to F4s.

I love the set I have now actually. Only reason I got them was because they were on sale. However I will be buying some more next time I need wheels.

Nice. What kind of stuff do you usually skate? I skate a lot of rough ground and heard that they feel nice in those kinds of situations.

Yea i was on stf V2s for a while. They slide really well but they would chatter so bad on the streets. Especially going for a while and at any decent speed my feet would feel fucking numb. The classics are just grippy enough while still hard enough to slide. The V2s would chip a lot as well on the shitty ground. I think ill stick with Classics until i feel the need to switch up. They feel really nice right now.

I had a deck from the first run they did. The shape felt really similar to dlx boards. mellow concave and not too pointy nose and tail. But I heard they're using HLC wood in Europe now. Not sure about the US tho.

I'm doing that right now for the first time because the shop didn't have f4 classics. Also pulled the trigger on nb420's they had.

I wear 10 in most Nike’s and all vans. 9.5 in these and all other Adidas.

Suprised to hear these blew out super fast for some people. I skated a pair pretty regularly for a month with a fresh board and they held up really well until they got floppy. I did super glue the stitching though.

I want something like a Chocolate Skidul shape, but the wheelbase/overall length on the Skidul is a little too short. Anyone able to recommend something similar?

Considering a Polar P9, which isn't quite as round but looks similarly tapered.

There is no way that spitfire og classics are conical because conicals are larger. These OG classics are the same shape and size as the f4 classics.
