Bullshit.
I’ve never skated them but there are no wheels on this planet I can’t flatspot being a big guy.

Ive got some, think Hugo does too. Theyre ok.
Also, to echo @franc there is no such thing as antiflatspot wheels. They don’t exist

Agreed, sorry, sold as anti flat spot but yes any wheels can be flat spotted. It’s just some are more resistant than other such as F4, Bones Stf, Crupie.

Got some F4 conical full, now about 51mm and crupie which are about the same size, thinner riding surface and profile if you’re interested. But you’re probably after bigger wheels.
Would sell either for £15 posted.

Don’t think I’ve ever flatspotted any Bones. They last forever.
Fast wheels do an anti flatspot formula…but I flatspotted them in the first week.

Its just a marketing gimmick, the harder the wheels the easier they are to flat spot

F4s. Don’t. Flatspot. It’s not a gimmick. They’re just the best wheels

No, it’s no gimmick they are actually the best wheels I have ever ridden.
The worst wheels I ever rode were Death wheels, they flatspotted on first outing.

You clearly never tried Octagon, which wasn’t an ironic name.
Crupie are hard and fast and have not flat spotted for me.

Welcome Orbs in non-stupid colours are very good as well, I thought they were Bones when I had a set, also v difficult to flatspot

I think for the first time ever I have 2 setups.
This is a 7.75 death board with Venture extra light 5.0 trucks and wayward wheels. I have bones big bollocks bearings or whatever they’re called.
I rode a similar setup for most of my younger years and so I’m hoping it’s at least fun to skate.

Cheers for the offer but yeah a little small for me! My current bones are about 50mm.
Cheers for the advice folks, gona give some crupie a go seems like good bang for your buck!

Anyone skated Snot wheels? Interested to know what they’re like.
I mean, I’ve got F4s in my life so it’s probably just idle curiosity tbh…

if i remember right from Fos posting on Slap, Snot are from the same manufacturer who produce Heroin wheels, and by extension also Baker/Deathwish. Whilst I haven’t skated Snot wheels I ran a set of 54 Heroins a while back and all I can really sum them up as is decent - better than utter low end wheels, obviously not as good as say F4’s/STF’s/etc. If you’re after something that’ll grip a little more, they’ll do the job and that’s the only reason I went from F4’s to Heroin as I was skating DIY spots a lot at the time and kept slipping out.
