When I started Skateboarding back in 2004 I used to ride with pig wheels at the begging , and Bones STF at least until 2009, then I stopped skating for a few years because of an injury and because of drug abuse that made me feel very lazy and erased my creativity and determination. So in 2012 I got bored of the drugs and the loser people around it, I survived a lot of things, and decided to start Skateboarding again. Long story short it's been since 2012 that I have been using spitfire wheels , but this year literally just about a couple of months ago I have decided to buy again a set of Bones and I am in love with them honestly. Best wheels ever.

[@mailnoslihp95]

This is exactly what I have been wanting to see. I skated bones for a long time but I have switched to spitfire. The formula fours are the best wheels to ride. I'm currently riding the formula four classic 52mm 101 duro and the formula four tablets 53mm 101 duro

Strange STF are listed a A, not B on the Powell website. But, I see them listed as B on the packaging in your video.

[@simping_for_maul1457]

so can I use the spf formula to bomb hills, since they are the biggest and hardest to flatspot??

[@juliovilaca2120]

What about the OG formula, 100S? Is it good? Harder then STF? Tks

[@neilryan8010]

[@neilryan8010]

Thanks for this. So I’m getting my kid into skateboarding. Wondering whether to start him off on some ATFs. Any advice?

[@ShredzShop]

Generally kids do enjoy a softer wheel cause they can ride it anywhere and won’t get bucked off when they hit little pebbles! ATF 53mm would be a great starting point for a skateboard sized board.

[@berran3459]

honestly spitfire are more flatspot resistant than these but bones hold their shape for longer which is great but a killer if you flatspot them.

[@concepcionpadua1460]

are spitfire f4s good for street? and how long they last?

[@ShredzShop]

Yea F4's are great street wheels. Usually people do the 99D for street and the 101D for park with spitfire. They last different amounts of time depending on when and where you skate.

[@manuel_manosb5176]

I do like 100’s however, not so available now here, what formula will be closer enough to those wheels!

[@manuel_manosb5176]

??????

[@manuel_manosb5176]

Based on your scale, could I say 80B are the same as 100’s ?

are there any wheels good for cruising but still decent for skateparks?

[@mailnoslihp95]

Yes please

[@chriskunce3331]

Good info but maybe help us old school guys out who aren’t as familiar with the new scale. Basically I was used to the A scale, so 84a was soft These use the B scale so basically 84b is over 100a. Really hard.

[@ShredzShop]

Yea, basically you see a bunch of wheel brands that write 101A on their wheels, which isn’t a real durometer (the scale goes from 0-100). So once you hit 103A it’s technically a 83B. Bones has a good article on that stuff here: bones.com/why/b-scale/

[@jordanbowey4175]

To keep it simple man just take your b rated wheels and ad 20 and that's pretty much will be. So you see a 81b think 101a, see an 84b think 104b

[@wowdude2624]

@@jordanbowey4175 well actually 85b is equal to 100a. 85b and 100a are the highest readings you can get on a durometer

[@jordanbowey4175]

@@wowdude2624 nah mate, that's not correct. B is the next rating of scale 81b is the next hardness after 100a

[@sergio_barragan4889]

Are the 100 made for street skating or skate park skating??

[@ShredzShop]

You ride either with 100s, they work for both. 👍🏻 if you’re just riding park you could go harder, and if you were just riding rough streets you could go softer 👍🏻👍🏻

You can ride them on sidewalks, if you’re only riding sidewalks, id do an ATF. But if you’re doing sidewalks and skateparks - do STF!
