I think my man Levi confused which is street and which is park when it comes to durometer. I would think the 99a were better for rougher, street terrain because they're softer than the 101a, which would seem better for park since they are a bit harder. In any case, I ride the 99a, 56mm F4s, and they are pretty icey (in the best possible way). Almost effortless on backside power slides, and pretty smooth ride for a hard wheel. I say get you some and give 'em a try.
True, he mixes the two names at one point. You can obviously ride both anywhere, but the 99D will ride nicer on a rough surface and the 101D will be faster on a smooth surface.
Justin Kline nope the harder the less sticker on the streets I like bone go with bones my spitfires flatspoted and my alien workshop got a chip go bones
Dont get me wrong I love bones amd especially their bearings, bearings are the best by far, but I just got me a new setup with the 101du 54mm, and man, I'm loving them
You young dudes can keep your hard freaking wheels no thanks😁....I'm on Mini Logos 90a 58mm and will be trying 95a 56mm next. My sons F4 Spitfires almost killed me. A few weeks ago I was just skating along and a tiny bb sized pebble bodied me, I cracked my freaking ribs . The ER doctor says I'll feel this for months I thought that was baloney but here I am a month later waking up every morning in pain. 😂 I still love hard wheels on smooth cement esp the sound they make its like crack for my ears but I skate street and this old 80's dude needs a softer ride. The trick is finding the sweet spot where hard and soft meet up and sliding isn't affected so much as to screw up your flow. If wheels get to sticky they can almost twist your ankles just doing simple tricks like shuvits or nocomplys. Ya gotta have that micro slide that happens when ya do tricks, that little give can save your knees and ankles. If I skated park 95% of the time I'd skate 56-58 Bones SPF or STF , Spits are good to but I like that chalky dry feeling that Bones wheels have.
I've been on and off skateboarding for probably 25 years, I never paid any attention to durometer, I just liked spitfires, these were too hard for where I skate, amazing on the park though!
I prefer the formula four colour than white like bones because than I know the wheel just has natural good things instead of putting more bad things in the wheel to make it white I ride the 99a conical fulls in the streets no problem but I think a 101a classic is better for street when it comes down to weight just because if you powerslide a 99a classic it might flat spot because of the skinny riding surface it most probably won't flat spot unless you are riding ashphat and you grind in with your heels but it's like a 10% chance it will flat spot but I wanted a smooth ride without having to worry about flat spots so I got 99a conical full wheel But for skateparks I would say a 99a classic for a light wheel or a 101a conical full for a fast wheel but if you want a fast and light wheel get to 101a classics but be very careful about sliding out especially on the first day when you get them
I have rode a lot of wheels and really love the feeling of the Spitfire 99D conical formula four, to me how they skate is so much more important than color.
As soon as F4s came out I loved them and stopped riding bones. But over the years I would occasionally buy Minilogo wheels when I was short on cash over F4s. Something about F4 99s feel so good. But now I ride for Minilogo and mostly skate their wheels and they are great but my last two sets of wheels are the bones stf 99s and to me the bones 99s are as a good as F4 99s.
normal 99d spit fire blend will only flat spot if you do a gnarly blunt with no wax....or ride their F1(shit blend) it will flat spot on air. Looking forward to skating the conical full 99s, once my SFW wheels feel too small like
i ride 50mm too and it’s hard to decipher if i like the 99 or 101 best. I think they both have their spots. I recently tried 51mm and it’s not a bad choice either.
@@d.kashani I’ve upgraded to 52-53mm Spitfires in the last year. Feels a bit better. I still like 101As but 99A are just a tad gruppier and softer that they feel slightly better than the 101As. For some reason I still persist with buying 101As though 😂. Maybe next time!
He mixed them up. The higher the durometer, the harder the wheel. So 99s are slightly softer and 101s are harder. I ride 99 and they skate great in the park and in the street. But if your streets are really rough around you and you don't go to the park often, I'd say go with a softer wheel.
Street Riding my board for a good 5 years with 2 TBones 65mm at the rear( lifted tale) & 2 classic spitfire 53mm at the front let me tell you One does what the other doesn't Bones on my opinion are better for power sliding thats why I used to keep Them at the rear and the sticky spitfires at the front.
Legal Man that makes no sense at all lol why have two different size wheels 65 to 53 is a huge difference and I garuntee it messes with you even if you don't think so
i love me some yellow ass spitfires but i love me some stf too. I dont have a preference I have boths kinds of wheels on 2 different set ups because im a grown ass man and I can afford to indulge in the equipment that i didnt get the opportunity to as a kid. I like pairing my thunder set up with f4s and my indy set up has bones stf
If you’re not sure, start with classic, it’s more common! But I always ride conical! Love the feel of em! More surface area touching the ground makes hem really stable!
Idk I think I'll stick with good old Bones. I've been skating bones for years now. I used to skate spitfire but no matter what they always Flatt spotted. bones for me have neverrrrr flat spotted. I powerslide almost every day
The 99duros are better for street and the 101 are better for park on street surfaces they are too damn grippy that’s why I go with 99duros btw the conicals are the shit
If you're riding rough ground like streets, 99D is better. It's also our most popular durometer. If you only ride smooth surfaces like skateparks, lots of people like the 101, but they are SUPER hard!
Usually you need a wheel kinda directed towards what you're riding. So if you're skating really rough ground, you want softer, if you're on perfect smooth ground you go really hard. That being said, you can ride any wheel anywhere, it just wont perform as well. The Spitfire classics would probably be the best bet if you want a wheel to ride anywhere! Hope this helps!
To complement this video I want to show you the reason now I only ride formula fours, don't care form, size, just formula fours baby! ruclips.net/video/BqEjW3jFGFE/видео.html
We definitely heard that feedback on the classics, but people really love the Formula Fours. These are Bones STF are head to head for our most popular wheels right now. We've also been getting really good feedback on the OJ Elite wheels right now!

Your right
Justin Kline literally scrolled down the comments to see if anyone addressed this too lol
Damn u got caught this too
that brownish creamy color is nice I would choose those over the white one anyday
Dont get me wrong I love bones amd especially their bearings, bearings are the best by far, but I just got me a new setup with the 101du 54mm, and man, I'm loving them
"Almost 90 seconds"
99 full Conicals are dope
Jamie Foy signatures FTW
Jamie foy is my fav rider but I could not get his wheels anywhere so I got 52mm conical full 99a spitfire wheels instead
@@danefuentes3877 just got some today and they're the damn nice 🔥.
i always jump from spitfire f4 to bones stf, i dont have much preference but i do enjoy stf in street and spitfire in park.

Alls I can say is with my old wheels I'd often stick on crooks, tailslides, etc, and with these it's like pushing a hot knife through butter
stoked!
99 or 101?
I’m about putting bones reds in my spitfires
I've been on and off skateboarding for probably 25 years, I never paid any attention to durometer, I just liked spitfires, these were too hard for where I skate, amazing on the park though!
I don't see how you could not pay attention to durometer
This video makes me wanna skate with you guys
I prefer yellower wheels
It looks more raw in a way
Ive never had flat spot problems with any wheels ive ever used. Dont slide your board slide ways non stop and you wont have to worry about that.
Spitfire for life
Yup
I am using a spitfire formula four 51's 92a radial, color black
I prefer the formula four colour than white like bones because than I know the wheel just has natural good things instead of putting more bad things in the
wheel to make it white
I ride the 99a conical fulls in the streets no problem but I think a 101a classic is better for street when it comes down to weight just because if you powerslide a 99a classic it might flat spot because of the skinny riding surface it most probably won't flat spot unless you are riding ashphat and you grind in with your heels but it's like a 10% chance it will flat spot but I wanted a smooth ride without having to worry about flat spots so I got 99a conical full wheel
But for skateparks I would say a 99a classic for a light wheel or a 101a conical full for a fast wheel but if you want a fast and light wheel get to 101a classics but be very careful about sliding out especially on the first day when you get them

Haven't had a chance to ride the new 99D bones STF's yet, but some of the dudes here did get sets to test and loved them.
Did some tech sliding on f4, they scream a little before broken in, flatspotting haven’t been an issue and I’ve put some abuse on them
thought the vid was gonna hook me up with some formular fours for free in almost 90 seconds lol
Nice video 👍 thx

I like the conicals better
I love my 101A 50mm Classics. Just a bit on the small side maybe. Personally prefer the colour of Spitfire Formula Fours too.
i ride 50mm too and it’s hard to decipher if i like the 99 or 101 best. I think they both have their spots. I recently tried 51mm and it’s not a bad choice either.

They are yellow because the urethane is not mix with a bunch of synthetic material
Urethane is a synthetic material
For some reason the 101s cone and shrink worse than the 99 but still prefer the spitfire for slide control and overall feel
So the 101 spitfire wheels are for cruising and the 99 spitfire wheels are for skatepark??
He mixed them up. The higher the durometer, the harder the wheel. So 99s are slightly softer and 101s are harder. I ride 99 and they skate great in the park and in the street. But if your streets are really rough around you and you don't go to the park often, I'd say go with a softer wheel.
Street Riding my board
for a good 5 years with
2 TBones 65mm at the rear( lifted tale) & 2 classic spitfire 53mm
at the front let me tell you
One does what the other doesn't
Bones on my opinion are better for power sliding thats why I used to keep
Them at the rear and the sticky spitfires at the front.
Legal Man that makes no sense at all lol why have two different size wheels 65 to 53 is a huge difference and I garuntee it messes with you even if you don't think so
You are weird but smart because your back wheels lasted 5 years wheels usually last me half a year
The best wheel ever
Only skate the 99s goes the longest before flatspotting
i love me some yellow ass spitfires but i love me some stf too. I dont have a preference I have boths kinds of wheels on 2 different set ups because im a grown ass man and I can afford to indulge in the equipment that i didnt get the opportunity to as a kid.

Which one is better for both things,street and park skating.
99D is better if you skate street
Im a Spitfire loyalist..so i ride the 🔥.
I would buy from Shredz if I was gnarly enough to skate.
higher durometer doesn't equal less flat spots or longer lasting pal
amen
Whether your testing a wheel's hardness using an a, b, or d scale..i thought the max hardness for a wheel was 100!!
There is nothing over 100 on the A scale. A 101A is just marketing lies. They should just use the B scale like Bones.
@@bvd1587 but i thought a scale was just 20 points higher!
CONICAL OR CLASSIC?
If you’re not sure, start with classic, it’s more common! But I always ride conical! Love the feel of em! More surface area touching the ground makes hem really stable!
@@ShredzShopyou prefer the regular or full conical?
Which shape is best for droping stairs and flat spoting?
Spitfire or bones ?
IOANNIS NIKOLAOU ellinas ime kai ego kai tha elega bones

Idk I think I'll stick with good old Bones. I've been skating bones for years now. I used to skate spitfire but no matter what they always Flatt spotted. bones for me have neverrrrr flat spotted. I powerslide almost every day
Tiqew go for it, it's always good to try! Usually f4s don't flatspot quite as easily as spitfires old wheels. Hope this help!
Give the f4 a shot, I think you'll change your mind.
Don't give them a shot, I've flatspotted f4s and I've never flatspotted bones stf. I will keep riding bones for a long time.
Tried two different types of Spitfires, and the rest of my life i’ve ridden Bones. Spitfires suck, Bones for life.
I Don't Know Elisa Bones are good for both tranny and street
i got teil tablet shAPE IS THAT THE CONICLE
It's close but not exact. Tablet is a new shape that came out after this video was made. They're a nice shape though!
oh dude thaats sick u replied and thx alot man
Are they good for power slides
They're a harder durometer, so they're really good!
I bought them they don’t feel much harder than my softer weels I was riding spitfire big head skate weels
The 99duros are better for street and the 101 are better for park on street surfaces they are too damn grippy that’s why I go with 99duros btw the conicals are the shit
Nah 101s slide better, and 99a has more grip
Which is better for street f4 99d classic or 101d
what do u think of the 99a conicals ? (not the full) have a good one
That’s our #1 most popular wheel!! 👊🏻 #2 is 99 Conical.
Whoops that was supposed to say Classic 99 is our #1 wheel and Conical 99 is the #2 wheels in the entire shop 👍🏻👍🏻
Is the 99d or 101d better?
If you're riding rough ground like streets, 99D is better. It's also our most popular durometer. If you only ride smooth surfaces like skateparks, lots of people like the 101, but they are SUPER hard!
Are the Formula Fours street/skatepark wheels?
You can ride them either! Usually people just skating park will use the harder 101s and people who skate lots of street will ride the 99s. 👊🏻👊🏻
I use 99s for both street and park and they're great!
Oh thanks god. He got rid of the corn rows.
I tried the red one
What'd you think?
Shredz Shop it is not good for skating in the skate in HK,but it is fast in skate park,I always recommend it to my friends
Shredz Shop it is easier to do power slide than other wheel
I've been riding the 99D's for the last year or so and loving them!
I also ride 99d's and they are really nice wheels! Powerslide is so easy with them :D
I use bones, but i saw a vid where spit fire slides a little better on the nose slides, i might try them later, the color .. i don't give a f...
Do they make an all around wheel?
Usually you need a wheel kinda directed towards what you're riding. So if you're skating really rough ground, you want softer, if you're on perfect smooth ground you go really hard.
That being said, you can ride any wheel anywhere, it just wont perform as well. The Spitfire classics would probably be the best bet if you want a wheel to ride anywhere! Hope this helps!
Try the 80HDs
I Want the wheel..my wheel is slow when at street but I not have money i just kids and want to skating
Most the pros skate 99 for street I see more 99 pro wheels than 101 pro wheels
Hate em . I've owned 2 sets and both sets of wheels chipped faster than any wheel I've ever owned . I usually run ricta.
