SPITFIRE 93A REVIEW!

An old mediocre skater reviews the new ‪@spitfirewheels‬ Soft Sliders.

[@love4boost]

I have them in 54 and 58 and there’s a big difference in how smooth they feel on rough surfaces, to the point I kinda prefer the 58’s. I’m turning 40 next year. So maybe bigger and softer wheels are a sign you’re in the old man skate club. Because I also have 59mn Bones ATF’s and love those too

[@radoldrat]

The bigger softies are definitely for us haha 🛹🐀

[@artemface]

Unreal review. Everything I needed but nothing I didn’t. I was legit so curious about these compared to Dragons. Thank you !

[@radoldrat]

Thank you! 🙏🛹🐀

[@cheapsk8boardmuseum259]

Killer video. Always glad to see you drop new videos. Later on man !

[@radoldrat]

Thank you my brother!! 🙏

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

I can tell someone has been getting more practice in!

[@radoldrat]

Thank you my man! More skating less editing lol. 🛹🐀

[@Justlikegravybaby]

Great video brother 👍 👌 I really dig the little add on to the video, like the cleaning of the bearings. I'm interested in these wheels and thanks for hill bombing and skating over the crusty parts that's my kinda skate preference. This review was detailed and I appreciate it. Stay rad always

[@radoldrat]

Thank you so much! It's always nice when the work is appreciated 🙏

[@julienbaut5784]

Yeah, you’ve got the Transwolrd 30th anniversary with Gonz on the cover. A "must have" for collectors !🔥👍

[@radoldrat]

Haha yeah my man great morning coffee read! Good eye! 🛹🐀

[@likeSK8]

great review 🤙🏼 pretty close to how I felt and what I talked about in my review as well - try em in the mini ramp I liked the way they felt there a lot too - great EVERYWHERE wheel ! 🔥🔥🔥

[@radoldrat]

Thank you so much! I'd love to check out your review, where can I find it?

[@christianschmidt5744]

Hi ROR.. I am R too.. just been discharged. Crushed LBow. Congrats to your lil 1

[@radoldrat]

Thank you! Hope you heal up quick!! 🙏

[@christianschmidt5744]

@@radoldrat thanks man.

[@christianschmidt5744]

What a difference a nice set of wheels can make. Great review. Shred on

[@radoldrat]

Couldn't agree more! I worked in a shop for years and would always encourage parents not to cheap out on wheels!

[@willblackett4709]

Great review bro I'll probably wait for the price to come down a bit, before I buy some

[@radoldrat]

Good call my man and thank you!! 🛹🐀

[@guy2334]

i got them too they are really good

[@K_spawn]

I'm soooo sold on the nano cubic dragon formula, so much I'm haven't touched my dragons, oj concentrate, penny board lol.

[@radoldrat]

Hey I'm actually right there with you! I just got a set not too long ago and they're my number one choice for sure! I love the 97a! 🛹🐀

[@K_spawn]

@@radoldrat I've only heard good things about the 97 formula! And because of it's shape I've been digging a little into freestyle too, like rail stands and wall rides

[@radoldrat]

@K_spawn just learned a rail stand haha

[@jeremychristensen6860]

Seems like a decent wheel. I've been riding the 56mm X-Formula 97 wheels with Bronson Raws and hands down the best combo I've ever ridden!! Which is strange because I've never really liked Bones wheels. I always flat spot O.J.'s, I chunk Spitfires but I've been on the X-FORMULA's for about 3 months and absolutely no flat spots and no chunks at all!! Not the greatest on rough ground. But still pretty decent. They slide great!! And still have great impact protection for my old legs and back LOL!!🤘🛹🛹🤘

[@radoldrat]

Ooooooh I might have to try those next!! 🛹🐀

[@jeremychristensen6860]

I would highly recommend that! LOL!🤘🛹🛹🤘

[@dneck]

@@radoldrat x formula 97s and 99s are awesome. much better than 93 dragons for me

[@likeSK8]

try the soft sliders ! the feel like the x formula in the park but way smoother and less vibration on rough stuff - I did a full review on my channel as well 🤙🏼🛹

[@jeremychristensen6860]

​@@likeSK8 thank you for your suggestion. I've been thinking about trying them for a little while now. My buddy got the 58 mm radials and loves them. The only reason I've shied away from them is because I have a bad history of chunking spitfires.

[@jeremychristensen6860]

You can still find a few of those sets around. The David gravette 97 you can get in a 55 mm wide cut.

[@radoldrat]

Awesome thank you!

[@jeremychristensen6860]

@@radoldrat anytime bro!!🛹🤘🤘🛹

[@danielbrandes9967]

I’d be curious to try these for sure. I’ve been underwhelmed with the dragons (I have em on my big shaped board set up). I’d got them for skating curbs, but find that they catch and stick on slappy noselsides and crooks and just sorta kill the curb sesh. I can do those tricks but not nearly as well as on my spitfire formula fours. Even coming in hot the noseslide or crooks screech to a halt quick. I always go back to the formula four conical full. But I do like just riding with the dragons. If these 93a spitfires don’t catch like the dragons on slappy noselsides and crooks I could be very hyped.

[@danielbrandes9967]

Also, always love watching you skate. You always mention not having a huge bag, but your style is awesome - and that is way more important I think. You always make skating look fun.

[@radoldrat]

That was actually the main takeaway! They don't seem to stick as easily as the dragons do, they feel more like a park wheel so I think you might be in good shape!

[@radoldrat]

Thank you so much man! 🙏🙏🤍🤍

[@jeremychristensen6860]

Try Skates USA. I just got my second set from them the other day. And they still had the 56 mm.

[@radoldrat]

Appreciate you!! 💪😤

[@jeremychristensen6860]

I appreciate you as well Brother Rat!! 🤘🛹🛹🤘

[@jeremychristensen6860]

So the set that I found are 56 mm wide cuts and they're pretty wide.

[@dneck]

cool review and I liked the music

[@radoldrat]

Thank you very much! I really appreciate that I make all my music 🙏🙏

[@dneck]

@@radoldrat that's cool did you see the "final tony hawk" part, the tapes you leave behind? music reminded me of that.

[@radoldrat]

@@dneck no I don't think I've seen that yet, I'll have to check it out!

[@dneck]

@@radoldrat search it up. sick tech vert skating from the birdman, an awesome soundtrack and guest appearances from legends...

[@SkateRatYuki]

I really want to try them, but everyone says they're harder/louder than the Dragons. 😅

[@radoldrat]

I can agree with that. They're definitely harder and louder than the dragons.

[@alessandro_potenzano]

Hi! Which Shop is that and where is it? Looks very cool, i would like to make a visit! Cheers!

[@radoldrat]

It's a place called Calstreets in Vancouver! Awesome shop! SO MUCH RETRO GEAR!! 🛹🐀

[@VeloVios]

You gotta try the x97

[@radoldrat]

This is what I'm hearing, I'm gonna have to pick a set up for sure!

[@frankiew311]

Awesome video as always brother but if I could give some constructive criticism? You gotta get rid of the annoying music loop you got going in all your videos its too repetitive lol. 👊

[@radoldrat]

Been working on some new stuff, you might notice I added a new one for the skate part 💪😤🙏🙏

[@radoldrat]

And thank you my man!

[@AdventuresInSkateboarding]

I am a Bones X99 guy. Bones is just part of who I am and how I was raised.

[@radoldrat]

I can appreciate that for sure! I spent most of my days on Spitfire which is why I was so happy for these wheels to come out! 🛹🐀

[@jeremychristensen6860]

Shit I've ridden Mainly O.j.'s for the last 30 years and now that I'm on the Bones X-FORMULA'S probably not going back!! LOL!🤘🛹🛹🤘

[@radoldrat]

@@jeremychristensen6860 okay I HAVE to try these wheels haha. Do they come big and wide? I think I've only seen like 54s

[@AdventuresInSkateboarding]

@@radoldrat X99 come in the basic bones shapes. X97 and X99 are not dragon (dragons are 93) they are a little harder. If you want a wide one go with Powell Nano Cubics. They are 97.

[@radoldrat]

@@AdventuresInSkateboarding lol I almost feel like I missed the days where wheels just came down to size 🤣🤣. I appreciate the help my man! Stay rad! 🛹🐀

[@JN-vi9iv]

What board is that

[@radoldrat]

1990 Omar Hassan Blockhead reissue 🛹🐀

[@roscoecoltrane9523]

George Powell leads, everybody else follows.

[@radoldrat]

Couldn't agree more! It's the same thing every time, George works on a formula or a design for years and then the rest of the industry catches up. 🛹🐀
