G’day and welcome to the channel
In this episode, I’m putting the Spitfire 93du Soft Sliders, Radial FULL through the slide and slappy tests to answer one big questions: are these wheels better than the Radials and 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 at the mere drop of a skate tool, finding a wheel that can soak up some of that vibration without feeling or sounding like I’m riding on play-doh is more than just important—it’s essential.
I wanted to see if these could truly be the “Go To” wheel that delivers 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 and draw your own conclusion on whether these belong on your setup.
Enjoy, Damo
