I made this vid a little while ago and I’m enjoying the bearings even more after a couple of months. 🙏🏻

Me too, but "not anymore". You are doing a wrong promotion with these bearings. Today I swapped my about 2 years old Bronson RAW with Bones Swiss Ceramics. I tell you what...Bronson RAW is crap compared to them but superior when you skate on plaza skatepark next to a BMX trail that have tons of clay and soil. You don't wanna see my board after 1h sesh.

Thank you 🙏🏻 bad jokes not frowned upon

That’s everything! No roar out the packet but later let’s see

What? Come on. You have to start talking to give me a shout out. 🙏🏻

@@Ungracefulmovement haha maybe. I’ve done a few for ppl before. few of em blew up on KZfaq…Not sayin it had anything to do with me but I think I spot a good one when I see it 😂 never know… few of my subs might cross over to ya 👊

That’s made my day! Glad you enjoyed the vid. And tbf a month or so down the road I’m loving those bearings a lot!

id say the same thing about reds..theyre cheap but fast if you keep them in good condition...the typical cheap/dirtbag skater....equates to buying as many red/sets for as long as a swiss set would last them....and like 3-4 a year if they skated all the time...to keep the same speed/feel or that like new feeling. But its also why i never got the labyrinths...bc i dont want to invest more time in cleaning/maintenance. I always found that the build quality in the swiss meant even when un-greased/cared for esp when compared to the avg/red "user" theyre still faster when worn/loud/damaged and finally cleaned/greased. Plus most street/flat/park skaters rarely understand the VALUE of Speed when it comes to wall to wall or how much COPINGS you can touch on a single run/pump/air drop...its really exchanging money for convenience of less need for maintenance...though it will still cut back on the life/cycle of the bearings or having to replace 1-2 here or there....bc of the eventual full on damage. Still if you can afford it/quiver XD...then theres no compromise for speed and being able to trick your mind into thinking your going to get half way down a transition if not to the flat bottom fractions of seconds faster...it means a lot in reality...bc of how you land/lean/position yourself for tricks/inbetween tricks....since your body cant adjust/react faster than ripping decides. Esp as we age. OFC wheel size and WB changes stance and speed aspects of transition skating...but its one of the aspects i notice most in my quivers....once youre familiar with different boards/shapes...it becomes a background...to noticing if youre running different trucks/bushings/bearings...if you arent doing flip tricks...you dont even notice wheel/ege profiles just hardness/speed/grip....and contact patch...for when you land and where your feet are to keep going wall to wall. But you notice these things if you quiver a lot more IMO. Which tricks/transfers/grind transfers are easier/harder and why.

There’s logic to that. But logic is boring.😑

There are no shields. The red part is the cage. It doesn't keep debris out.

While dirt can still go inside the bearings because they are shieldless after all, you want the ball bearings & cage to face outward from the wheel. This way any dirt, dust or crud can spin out of your bearings.

They are more fun than I expected. Glad you like the vid 🙌🏻

@@Ungracefulmovement nice thank you

i think this caters more to PROS that get boxes of this stuff sent to them talking lifetime/year supplies vs a person expecting at most 1 year of peak/solid use for 40$+ in a bearing. FWIW i think it also caters on the REAL to ppl that dont skate "HARD" like park skaters or ppl that actually dont skate impact or do huge airs in transition or gaps/etc in flow. IMO i think it will last longer...but the impact is really what imbeds/damages the races with debris And IMO not cleaning reds or caring for them leads to just as much wear esp if you dont run a quiver, which may also be where these can be viable. A single setup w/reds even with care still leads to pretty marred/damaged races at least outer races. And IMO even with swiss...the "sound" or audible speed....is no match for how they feel after a fresh clean+grease...when you land a huge air...or air drop into a transition the feel/speed is hugely noticeable. Or wall to wall trick chain capability or ability to pop/air later in a chain of tricks/walls. IMO the heat/noise in swiss...is just compensated for the higher quality steel/build tolerances that even when ungreased/loud or hotter...they PERFORM. Cant remotely say the same about a lot of brands/options as far as that goes with "audible" performance. Esp with super swiss 6...those are just generally smoother/better designs for landing into lips/transition IMO...and even when loud theyre pretty solid. Im more worried about my red 6 balls...or rush bearings bc in a quiver/cruiser setup or something id care a lot less for like a cruiser/beach cruiser with bad debris/water etc. But its why theyre tossers...bc id dont want to/expect to open them up and clean them just have them in a trunk/softened up older setup with core/ring seated cruiser wheels. VS actually having something substantial that would have to dedicate time/effort towards.

That's not even remotely close to true.

bar spin is definitely a false aspect bc 6 balls even reds....are a huge noticable difference in speed wall to wall in transition/air drop speed....and when landing airs/transfers into lip. The smoothness and lack of friction/resistence of 1 less ball is definitely a huge difference esp when running harder wheels like 101a. Or B blends. IMO some bearings can RUN when ungreased/loud...others simply cant and will fail pre-maturely...or the heat will cause cores/bearing seats to warp in a lesser wheel/design etc. Its why even older "slower" swiss bearings are still better than other options bc w.o grease/proper maintenance they lose speed so quickly....even the abec-11 nothing specials...great when brand new fresh...but such smol tolerances make dust or a lack of lubrication so much more APPARENT of an onset...esp when landing airs or doing fliptricks on bankwalls etc. You feel the speed exchange for a different axis/angle than where you want to ride/go. And its what led me to running 6 balls. Being sponsored is what living the "brand new experience is" since they always get product/boxes. Its just obvious when bones swiss or swiss 6 are still fast when loud/ungreased...and the build quality is whats equating to their ability to still perform vs other bearings. Doesnt mean its ideal but to me a testament to why ppl are so oriented with the sound of their setup and how much it adds to their "experience" vs others that simply would rather max out their wall to wall potential as they get older....or how much speed they get w.o having to worry about knee/hip etc fatigue in a session. Though a "lack of grease" imo also adds to a coefficent of board/feel response for aspects of fliptricks or landing into a lip/qp/transition/bankwall after doing one....if you actully know what youre doing. This marketing bs is PEFECT for those parkinglot/slappy kids that wont even hit the park....or learn to no-comply and possibly wont ever learn a full bag of tricks...i dont really care whats good/bad for skateboarding bc im still there to rip. Theres real skaters that actually ride pt a to b...and rip a lot of terrain...then theres ppl that like to cosplay as skaters..and this raw bearing bs...fits that bs so perfectly i cant lie or help not to laugh tbh

bearings dont matter..? are you clueless or just not with it?
