G’day and welcome to the Product Check you’ve been waiting for!
In this episode, I’m putting the Spitfire Formula Four 93du Soft Sliders Lock-in Classics through a fun slappy test to answer one big question: are these wheels a must-have for the skater over 40? As a skater now in my 50s, dealing with multiple arthritic joints and an ever-growing list of things that’ll ache for no-good-reason, finding a wheel that can soak up some of that vibration while having a functional shape for the style of skating i do isn’t important – it’s essential.
I wanted to see if these could truly be my “forever wheel” that delivers functionality, grip, slide, shock absorption, and speed, all while maintaining that familiar hard-wheel bark we all love. There’s only one way to find out, so join me for this in-depth look at Spitfire’s answer to the Powell Dragon formula Nano Cubic and draw your own conclusion on whether these belong on your setup.
Drop a comment below about your own experience with soft sliders, or just pop in to say “hi.”
Enjoy, Damo
