That's pretty cool. Koston has made a couple moves latly. Im kind of thinking he's doing it well obviously for the money and the skatin, but I think also just to get to ride with other riders more maybe, where the end of his career will probly be in about 5 more years. I could be wrong but it seems to make sense.

nice stuff, he deserves the best wheel sponsor

flip1607 · 07-26-2006

best wheels for one of best skaters

**Rock_Rocks77** · 07-26-2006

Omg No Wai Guyz

miniman · 07-26-2006

Omg i cant beleive the guys who said best wheels for the best skater, spitfires arent the best wheels by a long shot and even though he is a sick skater hes not the best.

**the_unknown_soldier** · 07-26-2006

is it just me, or do wheels sponsers not even matter?
and besides, i always see pros using blanks anyway.

shutupimbleeding · 07-26-2006

Well,spitfire has just about every top pro now.

burnyourfriends · 07-26-2006

spitfire wheels suck, but they have a badass logo. to bad they suck... AMAZING team though.

shutupimbleeding · 07-26-2006

Excuse me,but spitfires are amazing wheels.The s3 cores are the best core wheel i've ever ridden.I suggest you try something other than plain urethane,try somethig with a core.

burnyourfriends · 07-26-2006

hmm... well i never have tried the core......... but one would assume that if their plain polyurethan wheels wear down fast, then so would the their polyurethane wheelse with cores in them. Just cause there is a core in it doesn't mean it will last longer.

Ive had both spirtfires without and with and they both suck, they flatspot way too quickly, autobhans are much better than spitfires and just cuz a company has loads of gd pros doesnt mean there products are gd.

Obviously wheel sponsors DO matter ,they make a lot of money off wheel sponsors .And they aren't riding blanks , they flip the wheels over so the graphic is facing the inside.

who are yo to say that
spitfire are fuckin amazing wheels
have you even had a pair?

OneHundred · 07-26-2006

I had a pair of spitfire firelites, or firelights, or however its spelled. They flatspotted in less than one week, and on one of the back wheels, the urethane separated from the core when I landed from an 8 stair, causing me to eat shit. Spitfire's are Horrid. Bad move Froston.

GutsyTryon · 07-26-2006

SkateCirca · 07-26-2006
