Do the 101a formula four slide much better than the 99a? I have conical full, 99a at the moment. I was just wondering if it would help with powerslides. No doubt I need to work on the technique but thought the 101a might help.

Yeah I reckon. The softer the wheel the harder it is to slide.

I’m working away in September and the past 2 years I’ve been to Legacy and bought something. This year I want to buy some formula fours, currently rolling on some coned soft d’s

Isn’t exactly equipment but anyone got any good recommendations for decent trackie bottoms that ain’t tight as fuck or some weird fit? So hard to get some nice cuffed ones that aren’t jogger material, just want some dece baggy ones.

I love my Nike SB trackies. Or go Sports Direct and get 2 pairs for £6 or whatever!

Slazzy stuff is always dope and a nice medium of stuff! There’s some sick Nike Sb ones in Welcome too I always look at and also Helas ones, but I rip my bottoms quite frequently so always try to get cheaper ones if they’re sports material! Might look on eBay etc!

Palace make the best trousers by miles I reckon but probably not cost effective if you’re jumping off roofs all the time.

Haha. Bronze always make dope trackies too but I know I would shred em in weeks they’re so lightweight. Actually got those dope Yardsale Velour (not everyone’s cup of tea I know) ones recenrly and never received so many compliments for a piece of gear. Strictly chillers though

damn mate fair play, mine have only just been noticeably worse recently. probably skate 2-3 times a week and had them since last july !
think it was the big country hillbomb session the other week that finally put them over the edge

got some fucking sick adidas ones but no idea how to find the catalogue number, had them for a while now though. if they did a baggyish french terry trackie b i’d wear them 24/7, live in the shorts at home already

Got some from FTC and they’re perfect but they might be a bit baggy for anyone else. Not Rob Welsh baggy but deffo on the generous side

I back Slazengers hard. Perfect bagginess. I’ve got some Palace ones but they’re not quite as comfy.

Just talking about trousers I’m afraid. Hanes pants are good though.
