Are Wayward wheels any good? Slam have some at £15 at the moment

Not really but they’re probably worth £15.

The only wheels that are good are Formula 4s and Powell. Everything else will flat spot.

I can’t think of any reason to buy Powell over Formula 4 because the Spitfires are slightly better.

So the only wheels worth buying are Formula 4s.

I have to agree really. Tried some OJs a while ago and they just didn’t feel safe, like I didn’t know how they’d respond in any given turn / slide. Ran back to f4s begging forgiveness

Yeah those OJ Elites are treacherous. I do know a few super good skaters who like them because they’re really fast and they slide like mad, but most people aren’t gonna get on with them.

They actually sound really good for Stoke Plaza. That place is far too grippy for 99 F4’s as there is just no give in the concrete. Then again I’ll (try and) jump onto a waxed ledge and probably slip out :smile:

Yeah if you’re only skating a weathered outdoor wooden mini or grippy old concrete (as long as it’s pretty smooth) they’d be ok. But you’d still be better off buying harder F4s.

Yeah, wouldn’t dispute that, probably worth grabbing someone who is on F4 101s and trying first. At least I know the F4 are highly unlikely to flat spot.

Is a twin nose egg a thing? I’ve got a brand new set up 8” popsicle looking forlorn in the garage for the last year, awaiting the flip trick come back that’s never happening. Might try the egg scene
