zeke hella sexy

In the Bones (Powell) vs Spitfire field I’ve skated 101, 99 and 93A Spitfires and 99A STFs, 93A Dragons and the X97s. In my experience the different Bones (Powell) wheels all feel softer than their Spitfire counterparts. Not to say they are worse though. All the wheels feel great for what they do but I have a Spitfire preference in so far as if the surface is suited to the wheel I like the feel and capabilities of the Spitfires more. But the Bones (Powell) wheels are all more forgiving in terms of the tolerance for worse surfaces than their Spitfire counterparts. If you know what you’re skating I prefer Spitfires but if you want something that can handle a bit of a wider range of surfaces I’d go with the Bones (Powell) wheels. I got to say that the best all round wheel is probably the Dragons. Though again I’d rather choose to ride the Spitfire 93s and not skate a surface that requires the Dragons to feel good. Yet to try the X99s but if they are a tad softer than the Spitfires they might very well be a great wheel. It doesn’t take a that much of a crusty surface to make the Spitfire 99s feel too hard but when you’re on something that they can handle they feel so good and slide so easily. I’d say currently for the spots I skate and skate to the X97s or Spitfire 93s are my go to wheels. It’s great to have so many different good wheels to choose from!

Let’s gooo !!

This is an interesting one for me.. Ty so much for the review man... i really appreciate the time and the edit I have just gone from the nano cubics 97a in 60mm to 99a spitfires in 99a but this time in 56mm. I predominantly only skate bowls and 1/4s etc.. im 47 years old and 6 months in after 34 years off! I only have skated these FF 56mm for about 2 hours.. but the 99a ( and im not sure if its just the Spitfire urethane ) just feels super hard and i wanna say slower than the 97s. I know that i have dropped 4mm in size and its going to feel slower. I thought the hardness might account for the drop in speed i was going to get. Im thinking that these might have actually been the wheel that i was looking for... i like smooth, and i am not really down with the harsh sound ( but i get why some love it) and at 47 im only doing coping tricks that my body is going to allow me. The reason for the 99s were that i wanted to start sliding boardslides on the coping and didnt want the stick. Are these noticeably smoother and quieter than FF 99a ? Im also down with keeping my joints in check re the impact absorption but you have already ticked that box! Will i prefer these more if i like the 97 feel and sound? You got a new sub from me.. Love from Australia Benny

hey man I have x97 and just bough STF 99a and the STF feels plasticky to me after riding x97 for 3 months, hows the X99 compared to STF99?

Check out the 54 mm radial fulls they are wide with a classic cut

Thanks for the comparison with the Spitfire F4 99. It's been a long time since I used F4. I'm offset to the soft side compared to you. I just bought some X99 for bowls. I have a street setup with X97, they're okay for me but I'll replace them with the new Spitfire 97s when worn. And I quickly replaced my Powell Dragon 93A because I didn't like the feel on grinds.

What's your current setup? Thanks for the review.

What do you like about the X formulas over SF FF?

Already know I’m watching this when it drop

😧

I like the style… and the control

Yes in the 80’s and 90’s Airwalk was a legit skate shoe company. They were king actually. Then Etnies bumped them off the throne.

Are you alright?

I can imagine the Roblox Oof (R.I.P.😢) so clearly during this

dude, how long have you been skating for? I only just started recently, but I'm always curious how long it takes people to get up to this level

i like a bit wider wheel with a rounded edge. i've never owned a set of spitfires, the classics always seemed too narrow for my liking, especially under 56mm. if you have wider wheels you might want to try trucks narrower than board if you still want to have it flip easy.

Just got an eggboard👍🏾 Thanks for posting this🙏🏾

I've gone through some wheel madness too. I learned that I like thin wheels if my board and trucks are the same width (8.0 for example.) Wide wheels are nice if you want to ride a deck slightly wider than your trucks. For example I can ride 8.125 or even 8.25 with trucks sized 8.0 and a wider wheel.

What s stupid question go away

Sorry bruh but, Ben Degros did this theory with proven facts many months ago 🤘🏾🇨🇦

you want light bro. lighter trucks small wheels. small wheels kill your speed though ,diameter wise those lock ins are fat fckrs

I just cured my madness and I think the 52mm conical fulls might be the perfect wheel for me for tech and to roll through crust

i want to get better at tech skating too but i just ordered some lock in fulls 💀 don’t know until i try them i guess

53mm classic shape is the best

Damn your skating though

Babe wake up shazaza Posted🎉

🎉

SLAYYYY

Damn i was debating this topic recently too 😂

SLAYYYYYYYY

The soles get super grippy after a couple of sessions. Also they run a half size big. That might be why you feel like they got flimsy.

Yyupp he landed it

Bbl drizzy

That is really good! 👍

i recently found my fav shape 8.0 14.25 31.7

just got my first board its coming in the mail and i cant wait

really enjoyed the vid!
