bones wheels going out of business? lol. Bones reds bearings just might be the number one skate product in terms of units sold. Maybe mob grip and jessup has it beat. the wheel program could lose money and bones would still be in business from Reds sales alone.
when the F4 dropped i remember tons of people being really skeptical because of the brown color. They scaled it back and they are less brown now than they used to be. around here Spitfire is sorta a local company and people really really like the brand, but the wheels were always kinda shitty. you could trash a set in one session. So when F4s came out people were stoked and were saying things like"i can finally ride spitfires now"
the two bones premium formulas are good wheels. F4s are also good wheels and NFGs are good wheels as well. Ojs wheels suck bad. their regular formula is just basic shit from Creative Urethane. the Elite formula is hard and slick but not in the way your mamma likes it.
speed, slide, grip, durability, how they lock into a grind... looks. Does one wheel have it all for me? not quite yet.
