bones stf's

[candykane]

i just got back from my local shop and i got bones stf's for 30$, was it worth it buying new wheels...

i switched from kareem campbell ricta wheels(pretty old i think) and i got shecklar bones stf 54 mm's(no other models of wheels only shecklar lulz..)

do you guys think i will notice a difference in my wheels other than they are like 10x bigger than my other ones...?

also dont post go outside and skate em or something...

its raining ftl

I love my stf's.

thats what everyone says.. when you switched from your other wheels did you notice a big difference?

Nope, i jued got a different feeling cause the slidability from my blanks to stf's were drastic.
And like some bearings, they slide better with age.

when i switched from my rictas to my stfs....i noticed a difference....my ride felt smoother (but then that's kinda given that i just got new wheels) and like iEnjoiGirls said that i noticed the slidability early on....

youll notice the slidability when you go skate a mini ramp, revert and fall hehe.

or when you're riding on smooth pavement and you're turning and next thing you know, you're board wants to turn more than you do and then splat...

ull notice a difference in slidability but not much else cuz u had rictas

[late_flip]

when it dries up.

go to a hill.

Bomb it, and powerslide like crazy to keep a good speed all the way down.

I can garantee you'll love the perfect slide.

there great,

they slide better than rictas, dont flatspot like rictas, just plain out good.

[smgs92]

rictas dont flatspot i thought they were flatspot resistant

[iEnjoiGirls]

rictas dont flatspot i thought they were flatspot resistant

I bet the flat spot resistant ones will still flat spot.

[smgs92]

well then so will bones stfs and darkstar wheels

[iEnjoiGirls]

Not quite. Ricta's are known for gettin flatspots. I only heard one account of a person having flatspots on their stf's but everyone else has had a good experience with them. Also, Bones don't make the same wheels as ricta's and darkstar so you cannot say they are the same.

stfs/spfs are the best wheels i have ever skated.

[greaseistheword]

i was skating with my friend who just got STFs
and i had blank wheels
and i was riding his board
and saw some leaves
so i sped up
and tried to powerslide into them
and the slide was so CRAZY
i slid for a long ass time and then fell on my assbone
i NEED to get some STFs

[candykane]

yea i skated my stfs today... they rock... i powerslide 10x longer than my rictas... and i fall on my ass harder when i powerslide lol but only bad side to em right now is they are 54mm, i normally like my wheels really small... my ricta were like 39 or 40 mm after i switched...

what shop did you get it from? dominion or 17th street, I went to 17th st to get grip and trucks

[candykane]

dominion, 17thst dont carry bones stfs.. and dominion took two fucking weeks to ship to dominion west from cary town.. dominion are fucking slackers lol

[.Flip.]

I like 17th street better because people there are more chill IMO and have cheaper prices

they have a box of pro trucks for $10 a truck

[sk8paradiddle]

fellow west ender right here...I used to have bones stfs, they were awesome, but my bearings eventually slipped out, I still would've rode them though. Take em to carver and just ollie and powerslide in the bank.
