Skateboarders: What are you riding?

[rhythmandsound]

-bones reds bearings. i never bothered paying extra for better bearings before this set-up... I´ve been missing out!

yeah reds rule...they're the only way to go unless you're willing to shell out for swiss...

I've always wanted to try the Bones Swiss Ceramics, but I figured unless you're skating on super smooth surface the difference between regular Swiss and the ceramics would be negligible. Plus I couldn't imagine dropping $100+ on bearings.

Reds are the only bearings ive ever re-bought... Everything else was crap compared to em... and at $16 a set you cant go wrong

[Seething Tortoise]

Krux downlow all day every day

I remember wanting a pair so bad back when I used to skate.

i've been skating for a while and i recently noticed people popping of the shields of their bearings. what's the deal?

[rhythmandsound]

people have been popping off shields for soooo long, it's kind've the classic thing to do, esp. w/swiss, but i just can't get down with it... too much grime, water and humidity where i'm at

swiss for life! i've had the same bearings for like, 4 years now and no problems. gotta pop the shields off though! no sheilds lets the dirt and crap fall out, plus they make a better noise!

I'm on an DNA kick right now (just got off my extended DLX kick.)

how do so many of you skate such small wheels. anything under 55 feels like i'm using all my energy just to get there. i'd rather just cruise. been skating 57-60mm spitfires since i realized skateboarding is all about fun

though i do mainly skate cement

[edwithoutahead]

^^^push moar

i have insanely loose trucks so i would get extreme wheelbite if i rode anything bigger than 56 or so. i usually go with 54.

[please underestimate]

a year? i go thru a new deck every 2 weeks or so

we're not all as crazy as you man haha.

but yea right when i got this deck, i basically stopped skating and just cruised around. on top of that this is one of my favorite so i try not to fuck it up as much as possible haha. my friends are tryin to get me back in to skate so imma just buy me a blank deck.

Yeah, but sometimes tiny rock particles (and whatever else is in the streets) can ding the ball bearings and make them not roll as well.

I feel like you have to clean bearings with the shields removed more often, but they go faster because of it.

I'm just getting back into skating and I'm finally back on track to being decent at it. My board is pretty ghetto two of the screws for my hardware fell off while I was skating. :eek:

Cheap-o active deck 7.5"
