[@bigdeckenergy8119]

Thanks man! I hope you enjoy the wheels!

Maaaan I have a new idol now. It's you. Yes. Big decks for life. 42 years kickflipping my life with a 9.5. I love your channel.

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

Thank you! 🙏

Rocking my first set of 93a 54mm dragons, man wish these were around years ago, makes general street skating nice. Glad to see more options!

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

The dragons are great! I’ve had them for about a year now and still skate them from time to time

@@bigdeckenergy8119Which are better bro. I need to know these things

[@i-never-look-at-replies-lol]

my last two sets of wheels have been the v4 and v1 shape and i was almost thinking of getting some big 58mm dragons that come in the v6 shape and wearing them down to 54mm, but i might have to try these spitfires next. the dragons are hard to beat, so i'm interested in seeing if these wheels can give them a run for their money. i've got spitfire formula fours in 97a on one setup and have been wondering how they'd ride if they were just a little softer...

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

@@i-never-look-at-replies-lol so far they are riding pretty well!

[@i-never-look-at-replies-lol]

@@bigdeckenergy8119 i've got most my setup sorted out, but one of the few remaining pockets of madness i've found myself in is how wheels sound. only drawback to dragons is how quiet they roll, so i like the spitfires more for that reason. i'll have to listen more closely on these reviews that are coming out to see if i can really "hear" something i like through all the microphones and youtube audio compression

[@jimmyhuang8730]

Hey I have 1 question for you on these: Are they as soft and comfortable ride as Dragons 93A over rough surfaces or slightly rougher? Because you said they are slightly faster on smooth surfaces compare to Dragons so I'm assuming they are a bit harder than Dragons though they are also 93A but Spitfire F4 formula has always been a bit harder than most Powell Peralta wheels..

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

I would have to say it’s pretty close to the same. I will be setting up the dragons and testing them out against these over the month so I will have a better answer by then.

[@jimmyhuang8730]

​@@bigdeckenergy8119Yes please do that test and review and compare them both on rougher surfaces such as ashpalt and anything rougher than that because Dragons 93A are at their best on rougher surfaces such as ashpalt, they are quite fast on asphalt and slide well on rougher surfaces than smooth. Looking forward to that test review. I'm thinking these SFF4 93A are closer in characteristics to X97 than Dragons really..

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

@@jimmyhuang8730 I would also recommend checking out dadboard’s channel. He’s also reviewing these wheels and just came out with a comparison video for them at the skatepark.

[@DudeWheresMyCurve]

Damn dude, you nearly took a big deck up the butt at the beginning of this video!

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

It was a close one!

[@TheReal_DeanD]

Nice first impressions. Looking forward to the long term review.

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

I’m hoping to have it done by the end of the month but the weather isn’t cooperating right now

Thanks for the good reviews, Your ripping on the O.G. decks Bro!!!!!!!!!!!

Super rad nice work on that inward heel 💪💥

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

Thank you 🍻

[@ron8935]

For that type of wheel I've ridden these things called Rain Skates 92a with a big core....60mm... They ride and slide much harder than a 92 there feel like 95 or 96 is believe it or not but they have a great resilience.... I like the formula for the spitfires.... But I don't ride that tablet shape where the axle nut hangs out of the wheel.... cool video

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

They do have another one in the radial shape if that’s more your speed!

[@JPBrasca]

Awesome video dude! Hope you had a good day too!

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

Thank you 🙏

[@soberskater]

Damn Mr. Energy that inward heel was super cool... would you say flat, bank, bank to flat or down something is easier for this trick?... im gonna land one this year.... or im gonna die trying 😂

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

I would say flat for this one!

Miniramp looks sick, what skatepark?

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

Cedartown Ga skatepark!

[@TechLurker]

how do these compare to 97d f4's? which has more bounce/grip/slide

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

I haven’t skated the 97d yet so I couldn’t tell you at the moment.

[@seanpavani8251]

They flatspot if u do big long powerslides on fairly smooth ground and they get shredded up very easily on rough ground. Nice rebound and feel like a normal wheel just easier on youre feet. 6 out of ten scor. Not good enough to put my name on so maybe Renolds should have given them to me to product test before giving them his seal of approval.

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

Even the dragons get chunks out of them on the rough ground. I still haven’t gotten a flatspot but as long as I can ride it out and make it smooth again it should be all good

[@razorsharkfin1]

Wish I could get a pair but money is kinda tight rn 😭

I hear ya. I miss when building a custom complete was only $100-$120

[@burger1113]

The first dragons that came out were the slimmest and the second slimmest of their shapes. I believe v1 and v5...?

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

I’ll be getting mine out to compare the two so I will know for sure if these are slimmer

[@i-never-look-at-replies-lol]

i have v1 and v4 and the v1 are the most slim of all their shapes with a 'classic' look. v4 are more like conicals. the v6 come in different widths depending on size though, i was almost thinking of getting the v6 in 58mm because i think when looking at all the wheels, the v6 in 58mm was the second slimmest after the v1 in any size. but for some reason the v6 in 56mm are much wider (more like radials?) than when you get them in 58mm. i only know about those wheel shapes though because i was looking for the slimmest dragons and i skate 54mm, so it's either the v1 or get v6 and wear them down. i think there is several more shapes, i just don't know anything about them because i wasn't interested in any.

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

@@i-never-look-at-replies-lol well I can tell you the slide is louder on them but I would have to listen to the pop on both of them to make sure one is louder than the other

good video very helpful i hate your loud ass intro tho maybe lower the volume on that part

How will people know it’s my channel if the intro isn’t screaming at them?!?

[@mikehemens9359]

Support a company that cares to innovate. Would Spit fire have come up with formula 4s without Powell doing it first with STF? -No. Formula 4 was a DIRECT response to Bones STF. Don't buy Spitfire. If Bones goes out of bizness do you think Spitfire will bother to have these new products? Where tf would they get their ideas from then?

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

I mean I like bones also. The more that companies want to compete to innovate the better.

[@TylerMartinJPG]

That is true
