Regarding nose/tail slides, I didn't have any problems doing them. This will also most likely be the last video I will make about the Powell Peralta Dragon/Bones X-Formula wheel roster as I feel that I am repeating myself in these videos. If you've been considering for a while to try out one of these wheels, you should go for it.

Thanks for the transparency up front. That needs to happen more on skate KZfaq!

Nice review but you did not mention how they compare to Bones STF 99a wheels or Spitfire F4 97a

@diplenski 9 ай бұрын

I liked that the other ones were quiet, haven’t tried them yet but always liked how quiet they were on videos. To each their own, obviously, but I don’t really like loud wheels.

Very cool Skate One did this. Excellent review with all issues covered. I think for my situation I’m good with the Bones 97 X Formula.

In your opinion, which is a better STREET (not smooth park surfaces) wheel? These X99 or SFF4 97A? In particular and in regards to Speed, riding smoothness, grip and slide?

@hydroplainsdrifter 9 ай бұрын

Been on my x99's for 4 sessions, coming from some STF99s of the same 52mm V5 shape and they are the goods. There is simply no reason for the STF to exist now, these skate nearly the same but they don't get clingy on slides and grinds. I found the X97 really comfy but I don't need that in the park and it would hang up just a bit too long unless you really charged into slides.

i just ordered some bones x 56mm 97a v6, 5.6 venture high standards, bronson g3, mini logo hard bushings, pretty excited. i don't believe i've ever owned a set of spitfires, nothing against them and i'm not opposed just haven't. if i do i'd probably go for radials/radial fulls

Quiet wheels when rolling are nice. Everyone likes the power slide bark, but smooth, silent timing is where it's at! Try some Speedlab Nasty Boh 56mm 87a wheels and enjoy the silence!

@zachrobinson8954 7 ай бұрын

Can you still slide well with these

@VhaidraSaga 7 ай бұрын

@@zachrobinson8954 off you use enough pressure, they will slide. But might want to go 92a for easier slides.

Thanks for the thoughts on these. I was kind of looking at these and f4s but ended up going with the f4. Do you ride risers? I have some 54mm dragons, and some 52mm x97 conicals that i have been riding on and off a little bit until i grabbed some f4 conical fulls about a week ago. the f4 feels so good for curbs and sliding around, but the x formula and dragons feel so good for pushing around. I've got the dragons on winkowski shape for the janky street transition, and f4's on my 9.4 egg. Been playing around with x97 on a 10inch heroin popsicle and 215's sweet tf2 footy hahaha

@ThorneBenatar 9 ай бұрын

I ride 1/8" risers when my wheel size is bigger than 56mm. I ride Independent but sometimes Thunder 161.

@nickhem12 9 ай бұрын

Appreciate it! I can barely get away with 55's and no riser, so thats interesting... I do run my trucks a litle looser though @@ThorneBenatar

i went from 101 hardness to dragons. now im about to put on the 99xs lol

How well do they grip

@frankiew311 9 ай бұрын

Which wheel is best for wood ramps and smooth bowls? Would you recommend the dragons, the x97 or these?

@ThorneBenatar 9 ай бұрын

Probably the X97 but if grip is your major concern then go with Dragons

@Markcurb 8 ай бұрын

I’m not sure if it’s placebo but I felt like I can skate longer without any pain in my back or knees. Slight rebound but I like it more than 99a f1 Sf wheels that feel like skating rocks. But it slides a lot on asphalt. On park, beware on skating freshly painted ground

@jimmyhuang8730 10 ай бұрын

So what's the difference between X99 and SFF4 99A? Which of the two slide better and which is faster on smooth surfaces and rougher surfaces?

@nickhem12 9 ай бұрын

Yeah I was hoping there would be some comparison or mention here as well.

@rexradrexrad 9 ай бұрын

Id wager these are a little closer to spitfire f4 97as than 99s. Wish they had more colors for 56mm spitty 97s, my absolute favorite wheel.

@ThorneBenatar 9 ай бұрын

Like I've posted before, I haven't skated the F4 99a in a long while so I can't answer that question.

@vinceamir7236 9 ай бұрын

Do you find that the first few session with a brand new set of wheels feels different after like 6 session when the wheels start to feel like how they wkll feel for the rest of her life?

@ThorneBenatar 9 ай бұрын

The wheels felt consistent throughout the time I skated them

@LewieLewww69 9 ай бұрын

Why did they send them too you if they were not aware you would review them cause if that was the case surely they'd be given these wheels away too lots of people I could be missing something here though?

Is there anything that makes these better than spitfire f4 99a?

@blankearth5840 7 ай бұрын

doesn’t the hardness of 99a kinda defeat the purpose of the dragon formula?

@ThorneBenatar 7 ай бұрын

No, it's personal preference. Some people may need a softer wheel.

Nice video. I'm undecided which ones if the x99 or the x97. As you mentioned it will be a better bet the x97 but the video proof the opposite. I mean for street rough and tricks it will be the x97 or the x99.🫣
