I'm not trying to knock the video, but isn't the STF thing a Bones wheels thing? :) Apart from that though, yeah Spitfire Formula 4s, especially the full conicals are so nice. Easily my favourite, albeit a bit expensive at the moment.
Glad I'm not tbe only one that noticed that! When they began discussing park and street formulas i was like "huh?". Confusing if you don't know your wheels. Respect tho!
Since I quit weed again im trying to get back into skating and picked these up as a treat, they feel so good tbh..feels good to not be riding my 6 year old spitfire cheapshots lol
I enjoy your videos. I rode old, hard (101a?) Spitfire 53s that I began to hate; too small, bad bearings, or...(?) A friend sent me Powell Dragon Formulas that I love! Great, from crunchy to smooth surfaces. Then a shop gave me hand-me-down Spitfires (101a/57mm), and they're the fastest I've ever owned for skating at our local, smooth park. (Even w/ flat spots, they're still my fastest!)
Mind blowing lines, that stalefish late 180 left me shocked. I agree, on an smooth park, perfect surface, 101 F4 are the best. You can get used to them outside but don't try anything softer if you usually skate gritty asphalt, you may never go back.
Having watched you for the past couple of years Clarice.....your flow is getting to a point where it's literally one step below the top tier. Impressive!
@@BigAlSkateTutorials sorry i can't he is the best! But i tested 3 wheels, one per day on concrete, spitfire formula fours 99a, spitfire formula fours 101a and bones stf 104a, and with the spitfires i feel like them are grabbing too much the ground, and with bones spf made my midlife bearings feel like new again, a love spitfire but i think before this i can't get back until they make a harder wheel
I would recommend bigger, due to a wider wheel surface providing more traction and more stability. On top of that, a bigger wheel would be preferred in order to gain and maintain more speed
Yep, 100%. Been noticing it since Al got the 360 cam. It gets worse the later it gets in the clip (the landing of the disaster at 13:37 is very obvious). It's super distracting 😒

Just a heads up - Bones make "street tech formula" (STF) and "skatepark formula" (SPF). Those spits are the red formula four 101a, blues are 99a

AL, what mm wheel size are those 101s ??
56mm
@@BigAlSkateTutorials Mine are close.
I'm getting my 1st set of Spitfire 58mm 99dur tomorrow..
You should try the Spitfire STFs on Independent 5.2 lows.
Cant wait to see a vegas video. Hopefully you hit up Craig Ranch or Anthem.

I skated this park last year for the first time. That bowl has probably some of the smoothest concrete I've ever skated.
I’ve been thinking about this a lot! Been playing around with how fast I can go at different MM wheels, so far 56mm seems to be the sweetspot
The best wheels for power slides to apparently .

Sick video Big AL I have the spf currently but because of this video I will now purchase some stf, thanks for all you do

Bones SPF are faster than any spitfire wheels, I am a spitfire fan but that’s the truth
Can you think of 1 bones rider that skates faster than Grant Taylor?!

Sick skating I'm in Vegas what up they look fast
Been riding the 99 duro for so long. Don’t even remember how 101 feels😂
5:51 rock to fakie is usually not impressive but this one is so tweaked
🔥🔥🔥🔥
such good skating thanks for the insight big AL, do you reccomend a bigger or smaller wheel for bowl skating?
I would recommend bigger, due to a wider wheel surface providing more traction and more stability. On top of that, a bigger wheel would be preferred in order to gain and maintain more speed
For the Al ;)
Spitfire F4 aren’t threaded they’re flat unless they’re fakes
F4 doesnt has threads. Seems someone get fake product
Anyone else noticed that the sound isn't in-sync with the video?
Yep, 100%. Been noticing it since Al got the 360 cam. It gets worse the later it gets in the clip (the landing of the disaster at 13:37 is very obvious). It's super distracting 😒
Now that you mention it, yes
