10 things about spitfire?
It's on our list! 🔥
Powell 52mm Dragon formula Classics right now. Absolutely love how they slide on asphalt, yet they grip good on smooth park concrete. Not to mention the fact they are so soft I feel like I can skate for longer without my feet feeling gross from constant impact. Spitfire Formula Four 52mm 99a Conical fulls will always be a favorite of mine though!
I'm loving the OJ Plain Janes. I've got them set up on a board with super soft bushings and shock pads. They're fast, I get almost no vibration whatsoever and they're super smooth. I can still get decent grinds and slides I just have to get a little more speed and force it a little more. I ride REALLY rough streets and spots you couldn't skate on a little 101a wheel.
57mm 101a Speedlab Amelia Brodka Pro Models is what I started on. Super fast & wide. Great wheel! Currently on some 53.5mm Slim balls 97a Double takes. Wide also. I think I prefer 54-56mm 97a-99a. Started skating in 2020. Mostly transition. Hopefully find a good curb and learn Slappys soon. I'm 290lbs. Smaller wide wheels, wide deck, wide trucks & hard bushings work well for me.
These videos are SO helpful! Thanks so much for making them cuz I had no clue about this stuff before. Keep them coming. :)
🙌🙏🙌🙏
Thankyou so much this helps me out a lot I’m going to the skateshop tomorrow so I was kinda confused about my wheels so Thankyou so much 🙏
I went from 99a Spitfires to 95a OJ Nomads since I skate curbs and parking lots more than anything, love them.
Awesome! Those Nomads have been crushing it this summer, great skate everything option! 🔥
This channel is underrated. A lot of great videos. I’m binge watching the videos.
I'm a huge fan of the spitfire classics. Skated them ever since I stepped foot on a board. Got a pair of lockins last year an they're my go to now
Yes another banger from my fav youtube channel
🙏 🔥 🙏
Well done, Levi.
This video was super helpful, no bs, no waisted time thanks bro
Glad you enjoyed!!
Please make a vid on how to buy a skateboard deck. Making comparisons in sizes and shapes
my boy lookin' fresh with dat new cut
bro this was so helpful
Best wheel set up I ever had, Geoff Rowley rictas and abec 7 black panther bearings, rictas are the bomb.
I still have a set of X Bones on my old Lance Mountain "full size" board. Still have my ond Natas mini too. Those were back before all boards were ovals.
You guys are doin the Lords work !.. Keep it up !!
Thank you!! Hyped you enjoyed 🙏
I have seen those Walmart completes at a Skateshop where parents were having better wheels installed on those decks. In my experience the OJ 54mm plain Jane wheels are the way to go. Can cruise and do tricks no problem.
Im riding OJ elite 101 right now and surprised how much I love them.
I just switched to 54 after using 50-51mm. I thought I’d hate it, but I set them up on venture highs and love them.
good summary of the history of skateboarding
Yo that orange Zero board in the background is f'n fire
I think the spitfire formula four classic 101 A 54mm are the best wheels
I'm wanting to try Spitfires. But there been hard to get my hands on. Since covid. And when shipments do come in there pre sold. Bones had been hard to buy too.
Agreed. I ride the 52mm. Love them
101 is too hard for nyc 99 is good though I wanna try 97 so bad though
@@booboocachoo5090 Year its tru. NYC ground is very rough. You should try the 99 a in 54mm
99a formula four honestly slides a bit better/more consistent than the 101a in my experience. Both are excellent, but I prefer 99a 53mm conical fulls
For Cruising: Powell Peralta G-Slides 59mm 85a
For Vert/Park: BONES SPF 60mm P5 Sidecut 84B (104A)
🤝 🤝 🤝
I love the look of small wheels but went back to bones 60mm since I can pretty much roll over anything without destroying the wheel or eating shit.
Can you also do a video about buying trucks?
Currently rockin some black Spitfire 54mm, 99a Radials...
If I could never ride any other wheel, that'd be O.K.
🔥🌚🔥
The first skate wheels I bought were Bones 100 ringers 54mm Red and whites
I currently skate spitfire quartersnacks 99A 53mm. I was looking at changing to bones 101A but I’m confused by all of the V1 - V5 range, the wheel shape, I heard V4 is the best all rounder.
Bones are great but spitfire is better. Bones stick a bit more on nose/tail slides and it’s harder to scootch around on a backside flip etc. I wouldn’t bother switching, the 99a spits feel and slide better
My first time riding Bones STF was 49mm,in 2003. Today I ride Bones STFs V-2,V-3,V-5 any Versions 1-6,50mm-55mm, or If there isno STFs,I get Bones100%s. BONES IS MY FAVORITE WHEEELS.
OJ's or Spitfires all day 👑
A can't wait that long. And I'll forget. Again
For upcoming vids how about 14 things about H-Street? Or H-Street vs Santa Cruz. My feeling is H-Street seems to copy Santa Cruz/NHS. They have their versions of power ply, VX decks etc
The everything you need to know series is my favourite by far 🔥🔥

Hi i have 99a 52mm classical shaped (about 20mm net width) on my board. the problem is. My skate spots suck. While the obstacles are very nice, the asphalt is extremely rough and after pushing really hard you basically stop after 12 feet. Now i got the painful choice
1: 100a 55mm classic shape (about 19+ ish mm net width)
2: 95a 54mm mini logo a-cut (21 ish mm net width)
With the 95a i already worry that, where i slided a bit to safety on a ramp with the 99a, i will full on body. but on rough asphalt they should be considerably better.
What do you think?
Perfect 👏🏻👏🏻🏆🏆🛹❤️
I want some 90a smooth wheels for my pool board , got formular 4s fir my every day deck
I can't wait 3 days
Street A-B and sessions on street classic F1 Spitfire 99 , and great for dusty park, too , for a nice park with smooth polished park or wood ramp or ground the F4 99 are great , if the park or spot is older concrete and kind of chunky F4 101 if the park / spot is really shit I’d do bones 103 or 104 , just to keep speed and be able to revert and slide on shit Crete
thinking of buying 99a 55mm ojs for my 9 inch shaped deck. It will be the DIY park crust destroyer
maybe softer though
99 is a great starting point I think. Get some 99's and start from there!
Hello everyone! I mostly use my skateboard for transportation and want to do tricks what wheels would y’all recommend?
the mini logo C cuts 101a are all you need , same thing as bones v3 wheels but like 20$ a set and same anti flatspot tech
I have tried so many wheels and mini logo c cut 101a will always be my favorite. Hard to find them in stock right now.
Made in the USA?
@@ShredzShop all mini logo products are made in china with formula one materials to my knowledge , but look on the mini logo website itself and they will tell you it is the same shape and formula as their bones v3 wheel . their chinese factories use the same materials provided by formula one to create generic but identical versions of their bones bearings and wheels , and also high quality trucks i might add.
@@ShredzShop correct me if I’m wrong, yes from China but also the same shop as Powell Peralta products. I think Flight products are USA made but everything else is China.
@@teamskdm1 what's the a cut. A v4? Thanks. I have some v2s. 😀
What about wheel width?
I recently got some bones DragonWheels and I got them in 32mm wide instead of 34mm like my usual wheels.
Is the width difference really that big of a deal?
I think doing a “EVERYTHING you need to know about SkullSkates episode would be sick”
It’s on our list! 🔥🔥🔥
What wheel size, shape and durometer should i get? I've skated 101a 53mm wheels from a complete before and it was a pretty bad ride, we don't have the best terrain here, would the bones stf 99a 54mm wheels be fine? I'm looking for an all around wheel so I could do tricks, but I could ride it to the mall or school for example.
I'd try some Powell Peralta dragons! They're soft so you can ride them on rough ground, but still are fast and good on skateparks! Check out our review or the 9 Club review on them. They're an insane all terrain wheel.
?question?
Say I've got 57mm wheels, and i ride 'em down to 52mm. Would that make them softer?
Thanks for your great content, SHREDS!
It shouldn't make em softer, usually the full wheel is one durometer. Sometimes they do feel a little different after getting worn down that much tho! Glad you enjoy the vids!! 🙏
I have got the 52mm, 99A, Conical (not full) Spitfire .. 1,78m 85kg.
Do you use spacers?
I use spacers if they're given to me! Feel like it stops friction between the bearings and the axel/axel nuts.
i skate in cali (roads aren't that good) so far just been using formula 4 conical fulls 99 du and 53 mm, should i go with a 93?
52mm 101 duro
Oj
Bones
Spitfire
Your wheel size typically goes off your board set up. If you ride A 8.0 you should be riding 139 trucks and about a 52m wheel. If you ride an 8.25 or bigger I would ride a 149 truck with a 53m or 54m wheels.
Can you guys make a video about worse skate products ever releized.. shoes, Trucks, wheels, hardware...something like that. Big love from Québec City Brothas😁✌🏻💯💎💯🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Damn! That's a rad idea!!
99a 52mm bones stf easy streets for street and bones stf 103s 54mm for park. Don't skate ramp so the never used bones SPF 106a park wheels. I thing they would be too hard.
I've been liking slims in 103a 54mm.
They look dumb but they ride well.
So does any wheel size work for any trucks?
someones got some new ink.
I've been using a cruiser board for a bit and want a new board to learn tricks. I never go to a skatepark and have mostly rough concrete and asphalt around. Would 95a be too soft? Do I still need to go with a 99a?
On my cruiser board I have 65mm 78a wheels
You could definitely do a 95 if the ground is rough! Just try to get a skate shaped wheel (not a huge conical wheel).
@ 00:54...GEICO baby!! 😂😂😂😂
Dope
you should do one on skate cheats like waxing under your wheels to avoid wheel bite. keep it spicy
That’d be a good one 🙏
Great, real useful. Now I can throw those wheels from Christmas right into the fire. Other thing (new to skating), i can't find a skate shop in my city (seems they all left), I suppose websites of those stores will be only chance or is a sport centre a good option as well?
Find a good skater owned shop to support! If you comment your area, I’m sure I can find a good local to support nearby!!
any love for bones stf?
I am a skate filmer and I'm between buying the powell peralta g slides, spitfires chargers, bones atf filmers, bones atf rough riders, ricta clouds, slime balls og and ojs plain jaines is a difficult decision
I want to film in silence with no worries about ground and at the same time skate with my homies and made tricks slide and grind etc…
@@trickbusterstv Go soft as possible. Those Oj keyframs are good, Spitfire Chargers or Ricta Clouds in the softest duro.
99 is the one for sure 👌👌👌
Spitfire ftw🔥😎
If going Spitfire, Formula 4 only 👀
are there any good skate shops in washington
I skate some wheels I found on a used complete. They're the barrel type(not c cut. They're like the oldschool tiny wheels)
Like 42mm
Every time I hear him say “Powell and Peralta” it’s like nails on the chalkboard
😆 😂 😆
How about a story about the history of Gordon & Smith ......
That’d be a rad one!!
"A few years later" lmfao

Once we hit 50k subs 😜😜
The formula has become a important factor. Some hard wheels don't slide for shit which seems odd to me.lol
Thats not the origin of the term re-invent the wheel…. been used for ages and it regards any attempt to reinvent or duplicate , good skate video cheers
Please... Dont forget Satori movement... For me its one of the most iconic wheels in 2000. Bless
Spits best hard wheels, ojs best soft wheels
99d f4s and that suuuuupppahhh juice
Thanks for the free education 👌🏽
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Can anybody recommend me some spitfire wheels for street skating. Pls i really need help
Start with some 52mm 99Durometer Classics shape! They're the most popular and a good starting point.
I haven't bought anything but spitfire since i was 13 ill ride on used wheels some one gives me but i only buy spitfire
They're great wheels.
Levi, how big are your wheels?
53mm on my regular board and 56 on my bowl board
Wouldn’t big wheels technically ride slower? Depending on the width, you’re losing speed to friction do to a larger contact patch. Also they have further to spin being bigger. Any word if or when Bones 85B dual urethane prototype (softer on the inside of the wheel,for a smoother ride softer landing…etc. though the outside, where you’re contact patch is, is super hard for speed(for those of us that are into that)) are set to drop? I think it was Jaws i seen blowing one of these out, but I don’t remember.
(That right, parentheses inside parentheses (how’s that for a tangent?))
Currently Bones 55 83b whatever shape the Evan smith’s we’re, occasionally 53mm 99a. Spits Formula 4’s whatever shape had the smallest contact patch or Oj’s elite hardline 55mm 101A depending of the situation. I figured i use some of that stimulus to end the debate (at least in my my head) to who’s better. For the record Spits, least flat spotting. Bones has the 83B though the urethane didn’t seem to hold up as well, i liked the speed. The Oj’s performed best overall, with a little give and take.
(I tend to speed check with powerslides quit a bit, and like to go fast. Even on little shit, flatground or small parks i find myself tic tacking and powersliding (maybe a bad habit). It has a tendency to chew up wheels.
It's physics, small wheels require a low amount of energy but do not have momentum to carry speed. Large wheels take energy to gain speed then carry it as momentum.
For the past year I've skated an 80s reissue skateboard. As a full time street skater, the best wheels in this effect are Powell Peralta rat bones. The 90a is perfect
No
@@robertbaker3620 explain?
Strange place for question mark. *shrug
I ride shark wheels
I didn’t release how expensive spitfire wheels are, my parents got me a deck,wheels,trucks,bearings,parts, and a tool for Christmas
Literally just the wheels were 63$ CAD. In total I was like 1000000000000000$
You have nice parents 🤝

“Reinventing the wheel” dates back to at least 1956, someone’s been misinformed regarding the origin of the phrase.
