Spitfire Sapphires 90DU

[@vinnyplace1269]

Those sapphires look so friggin slick. I just swapped from yellow board blue wheels to white board white wheels. Sick upload 🤙

[@MajBritt-gu1ci]

Wow, nice looking wheels. This must be the first time I consider buying wheels to put on the wall.

[@KevinNiceTry]

Haha wall wheels

[@MuzKay]

Homie can skate anything

[@davidleeashkenazi8992]

Zip Zingers are fun

[@AmputeeAdele]

Those wheels look lush, so lit with the flamehead set inside the wheel 😀

[@KevinNiceTry]

Seriously

[@teddyshiel]

@@KevinNiceTry how do these compare to the spitfire 80hd sd?

[@KevinNiceTry]

Way harder. They feel harder than the dragons.

[@jamesryan4325]

Man the wheel companies are all coming out with new tech. These, OJ double duro, Dragons and X Forumla. I would pick XF for top dog. I have the XF97, such a good wheel, fast as f, grips well, slides well and just kills crust. Psyched for XF99. Killer of Formula4 99du I reckon

[@Lazy_Prophet]

Have you compared then to spitfire f4 97du's?

[@DarthGamer00]

Agreed

[@ron8935]

.... You have not skated nearly as long as I have obviously because this is a gimmick of the early eighties and it didn't fly then.... Dual durometer wheels have been out for a long time believe me there is no new tech😮

[@jamesryan4325]

@@Lazy_Prophet Yes these beat f497's in speed IMO. If anything f4 97 is less bouncy.

[@jamesryan4325]

@@ron8935 Ok then old head ;) The old dual durometer wheels had a harder inner duro if I remember correctly. The new OJ's have softer urethane bearing seat and 101 hard outer.

[@iamlazyskater]

Can't believe the tricks going down on that skinny deck! 👏Wheels look sick too!

[@KevinNiceTry]

Thanks!

[@christiansandoval8844]

Finally someone on KZbin skating these. Been wanting a review on them lol

[@KevinNiceTry]

It's definitely a soft cruiser wheel, but it feels great to pop ollies and tricks. It's not bouncy like others. Wouldn't replace a formula four 99a.

[@HeyyOmari]

Same i been waiting for a review of these!

[@TomsThriftyLife]

your pop is so effortless and beautiful lol. these wheels seem cool

[@MrBailliebugs]

I like your videos. There's no BS just fun.

[@KevinNiceTry]

Thank you. I appreciate it.

[@RikRiorik]

The wheels are nice but the edit and the music is even better! Keep on evolving Kev! But yeah such dope looking wheels. I think I might snag a pair when I find them. Just like I copy everything else you do. Except for the tricks. Wish I could though!

[@KevinNiceTry]

Hahaha thank you! Definitely a super fun wheel, I recommend. Haha.

[@Apex_Suprim]

If it breaks it breaks no big deal something only real skaters say fr this one sentence made me smile keep the Spirit of skateboarding alive

[@1984a-g9f]

The only real help for board madness is to skate those super different set-ups and have fun with whatever skating the board leads into. Nice impossible btw

[@KevinNiceTry]

Thank you

[@clarknova7331]

Really enjoyed the slow-mo shots. I’ve got a mini Cab dragon cruiser and might have to give these a try. Cheers!

[@KevinNiceTry]

Heck yeah, cheers!

[@ariekanibalie]

I'd be curious to know if they slide and grind at all, or if you just stop dead because of the grippiness. I have a cruiseresque setup with a normal board and trucks with some soft Ricta Clouds, and what's nice is that it's still possible to do grinds, I think because the core is a bit harder than the bottom. Not nearly as well as a harder set of wheels, but still quite a lot better than actual cruiser wheels. You sure make 'em look fun, though!

[@KevinNiceTry]

I will make another video eventually, and I'll put them on my normal setup. Try some slides and grinds. It's definitely a fun cruiser wheel and looks amazing. Obviously, they won't stay crystal clear forever. I don't expect that.

[@trollerbladdering]

These immediately gave me Hubba Ice Cube vibes.

[@KevinNiceTry]

Forgot about hubba wheels haha

[@small_chickens1026]

So envious of that deck. I want one for my 109s so bad.

[@KevinNiceTry]

Yeah, krooked needs to make more Nanos!

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

That’s a dope setup man!

[@KevinNiceTry]

Thanks! Super fun.

[@BoiledHuevo]

That big flip💥💥💥

[@robolinoschmidt8676]

Spitfire should really drop those in 99a/101a duro… clear wheels are awesome but most of them are soft cruisers

[@KevinNiceTry]

That would be sick

[@JamesJohnson-mu7zh]

Thank you Kevin

[@ezrhino100]

Holy shit. I think I just found my wheel.... This shape and duro.....

[@AlexPletcherPhoto]

Its really really really really good

[@ryanrowe1975]

Nice skate wheel!

[@lman6621]

Thinking of getting these to skate dusty indoor bowls

[@Yamaha-bass420]

Looks fun gotta try them

[@tylerd8609]

How does it feel on rough ground?

[@geniecs2]

Those look dope

[@KevinNiceTry]

Super fresh

[@himebaughchris4026]

Pretty Snazzy.

[@AdventuresInSkateboarding]

Thos was a food time. That is a small board. Respect for getting tricks in it. You know i have to ask, when are you funally going to skate the bowl with Cab.

[@KevinNiceTry]

Haha, I'd be a liar if I didn't say the bowl scares me, haha.

[@AdventuresInSkateboarding]

@@KevinNiceTry skate it like a mini ramp.

[@NitroCigarette]

Would these be alright on a normal popsicle? I know they're 58mm but risers would help yeah?

[@KevinNiceTry]

Wouldn't slide very well, but they would work for almost everything else. These are 56mm they come in smaller sizes also.

[@diplenski]

that's the shape i like for wheels

[@Lazy_Prophet]

The shape is radial, not radial fulls though.

[@cromag_jetlag9079]

This is rad!

[@KevinNiceTry]

Thanks

[@diplenski]

take it easy with the glitch effects 😆

[@rubenlomas9152]

very nice review and video

[@monatomic]

You should put these on your street board

[@djgeneticdisorder]

These wheels are very expensive in my country, Indy trucks are cheaper for example insane

[@Unoriginal3]

"fuck you, dragons" - says every other wheel company

[@KevinNiceTry]

😂

[@KevinNiceTry]

The Spitfires aren't marketed to slide. It's just a good cruiser wheel.

[@Unoriginal3]

@@jimmyhuang8730 I find too much at times They have hurt me a few times

[@Lazy_Prophet]

These aren't meant to compete with dragons in any way, these are harder cruiser wheels, as opposed to dragons meant to be a softer street wheel.

[@user-dz6tx8tc1w]

🤟👽

[@liaamisallitis]

kinda wanna get some of these but the price is wild

[@mulldriftyr]

and sometimes in the discord, you have a danish guy and a french guy speaking about the dutch national team in world cup 98.

[@KevinNiceTry]

Haha this is true

[@RikRiorik]

And everyone has to take it and like it ain’t that right Frenchie? 😂

[@hitman.fb_100]

Do they come in smaller sizes

[@KevinNiceTry]

Yeah the orange and greens are smaller

[@aaroncarter4089]

I need some

[@AdventuresInSkateboarding]

Let's do this

[@KevinNiceTry]

💪

[@liggerz87]

Don't suppose you could do a tutorial on how to 360 flip and do a moving kick flip ye I twisted my ankle 2 months ago now still can't skate got no pain now unless ankle goes sideways left foot slipped of the tail as I landed the kick flip then hit floor like ton of bricks was doing it standing still I don't have clue how I messed it up as usually I'm ok with it but could be because I had been skating a new set up I think had it like a month by that time maybe

[@KevinNiceTry]

Dang, hopefully, it's a speedy recovery. It's possible one day. I'm not the best at flip tricks, so tutorials might not be the best from me, hahaha.

[@liggerz87]

@@KevinNiceTry you did a good job of doing it I'm progressing slowly learnt to slappy nose slide last year this year learnt to power slide this year moving kick flip or varial flip lol

@@KevinNiceTry found one on tactics website

[@KevinNiceTry]

The nano?

[@TheReal_DeanD]

This may piss people off, but here goes. This looks like spitfire copied or doing their take on the Ricta crystal core clear wheels. You can see the Ricta emblem on it when looking straight down on the wheel. Also they have a harder core with a softer wheel. The one I had I think had a 101 core with 95A duro outer. The wheels still felt hard to me despite the soft outer duro. I hope these feel better.

[@Daggermouth8k]

you really pissed me and the boys off with this one

[@OliviaOnline]

transparent plastics are inherently softer than dyed opaque dyes. th eu might be able to make hard clear ones without it turning into fibre glass, but idk.

[@morganconklin8849]

Ricta was ahead of their time. It was a good idea. It got copied with better quality. It happens thank goodness

[@SongJLikes]

Anyone else want a set of the 101du cores-only of these wheels? Like before they get sent to be wrapped in the 90du Would be interesting

[@ron8935]

What does 90 DU mean ?.... Spitfire about 16 years ago started with that 101 and 104 a durometer which is fake there's no such thing and never was it was just a gimmick to claim the hardest wheel and then people fell for the trend to own the hardest wheel and buy them.... I'm wondering if this isn't similar😮

[@JamesJohnson-mu7zh]

Hahaha 😆

[@vorpalblades]

I'll stick with Slimeball 90A's.

[@sonnyrico]

Ohh fuc! I know what im buying today for the cruzer/slappy board

[@KevinNiceTry]

💪

[@Lazy_Prophet]

Really like the blue one's, but gotta go with orange cause it matches my deck lol

[@davidleeashkenazi8992]

Just realized they're cruiser wheels :)

[@KevinNiceTry]

It's definitely harder than the average cruiser wheel. This was just skating them. I will do a more in-depth review eventually.

[@TheElevatedKing]

Board details? What kinda deck profile is that, im looking for cruiser but no similaritys

[@K_spawn]

Those Wheels suck, but they are so damn gorgeous i would buy them just for the looks

[@Mullen-sk8420]

Wheels are decent

[@insanogeddon]

Sweet looking wheels but not Dragons, Xs or even Double duros that said they sound better just perform worse than what's already out there and cheaper. Best use might be as a SWEET DIY foot stop on a downhill board!

[@hofx666]

Well this video gave me absolutely nothing about the wheels 😂

[@KevinNiceTry]

It's a cruiser wheel that's less bouncy. It's just a cruiser wheel. What did you wanna know?
