Bones Bearings – Skateboarding legends<\/h3>\r\n\r\n

\r\n\tBearings are inconspicuous hardware parts of your skateboard. But in fact, they\u2019re as important and essential as your deck and the trucks. The better your bearings, the more speed-up and fun. In the early 1980s, skateboarding was at a low ebb and it was difficult to find top quality bearings. George Powell set out to find the best, fastest, most affordable and the best-manufactured bearings in the world. At the end, he started working with the Swiss to manufacture and optimise a bearing for skating. And from today\u2019s point of view, this was not less than his best decision. \r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Which are the most important features for skateboarding bearings?<\/h4>\r\n\r\n

\r\n\tDuring the manufacturing, the team changed from a standard stamped metal ball retainer to a high-speed precision moulded plastic one that could be removed by skaters to allow better cleaning of the bearing. And as a second major feature, the Bones crew replaced the usual lubricant with a special one they called Bones Speed Cream\u2122.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\t\t
