i have the dragons and these. i skate to the park and run to the store on the dragons and i like to switch to the 99s for certain parks. got the 93a in 58mm and 56mm is the biggest i could find the 99s. im happy with both sets but if i had to pick i would keep the 93a. my picture to the left was taken 40 years ago so it helps to have a board that rides like a Rolls Royce (yeah they are all that)
Love that. “Switch Up” truly all wheels have good used depending on the situation and feel. Never tried a 58mm, i have the 56mm dragons originally and they were of good use for a while, Parks and street. Thank you for the input🤙🏼
Cheers for the review. The interesting point for these would be how they compare to other 99A wheels. Most notably their Bones STF counterparts but also Spitfire’s Formula Fours.
I skated the STFs early on right when they dropped got the 52s but the street spots ate up the wheels. I did not flat spots but i got chips throughout 2 of my wheels. Solid wheel though and of course formula 4s a direct go to. Still have my formula 4s ready to skate with boneswiss.
@@RikRiorik different feeling when skating. I have summed xformula to stf was the stf(street tech formula) you got a definite more feeling to the ground you skate on, meaning when the ground is rocky, or bumpy, you feel everything especially them being 99a i had the greenwood version. The xformula cushions everything alot more 97⬆️ and the 99s but its a harder wheel. Dragon wheels cushion way more but dragons give an almost longboard wheel feeling. Now onto formula 4s which depending on how you skate i notice have a higher tolerance to abrasions meaning chips or even flat spots but its a different feeling when skating the bones wheel. Especially powell peralta dragons. 🐉
Great video! I love the X-Formula 97A's and I thought the 99A's were going to be too hard after skating the 97A's for the last year or so but I must say I love the 99A's for skateparks! I still use the 97A's or Dragons for rougher spots but the 99A is my main wheel right now. Great to see you skate Flight decks and ACE AF1 Hollows. I skate both as well, also with the Hard bushings in the AF1's 😅 Never tried that 8.5" 244 Flight shape but I will try that one sooner or later ☺ Do you use the 55 or 60 AF1's on that deck? I personally like the 60's more with an 8.5" deck
Thank you🤙🏼 I am skating Af1 55s really depends on the base. Some switch out the base on the truck. I also was going to go with the 60 but this was available and just fit the size.

@@MickHopper but how would you compare those to the X-Formulas?

@@MickHopper cheers bud for the more in depth feedback! I also had STF Greenwood 99As.

Nice bro this was really helpful; I can’t wait for my set to come in the mail 🥳
Thanks Alex. After riding them they have broken in firmly. 1 month review in coming. Please to say very soon.
