Why Bones? Review by Jason

Why Bones REDS? Let me tell you why.
Back in the summer of 99' I was really interested in building my own skateboard. I went to my local shop, Cowtown Skateboards, in Glendale AZ, back when a guy named Chris used to work there. And Chris walked me through what I needed to be looking for in building a great complete.

When we got to bearings he suggested Bones REDS.

They seemed expensive to me, and I kinda fought him on spending the roughly $20 on bearings cuz I was a snotty nosed 12 year old and cheap af.
I worked hard for my money and I didn't understand how the deck cost $45 the trucks like $40 the big head blue swirls like 30 but the bearing were $20!? I eventually caved and bought the bearings. Why? Cuz theyre branded f ing perfectly. The Box, the colors, the name Bones itself, it all just screamed 'spend $20! and hope they are worth it'

I also bought a Powell Deck, Independent Trucks, Spitfire Wheels and Lucky Hardware.

My $20 investment in the Bones REDS I bought that day turned out to be by far the best investment I had made that day.

When you think about it, I really invested in 4 separate companies at once.

The Bones REDS, which I put real effort into preserving cuz Chris told me too, outlasted every other product that I bought to make my first complete. Plus 2 more decks.

I've only bought Bones Swiss Brand Bearings since then. My son same, his brother, same. You and your people should too. Not cuz they look dope, not cuz I said so, but because they're worth the money.

Bones REDS why not?

Best Inexpensive Bearings on the Market Review by Raymond

Rating

I am a 42 year old skateboarder who just started skating again less than six months ago. I skateboarded back in the late 80s until the age of 15 but then never skated again. Recently, my son found a skateboard in a ditch and it did not roll very well so, i thought I would buy some bearings online to see if I could use it. I did my research and ended up purchasing Bones REDS.

Bones REDS bearings made a huge difference in skating the board (ends up it is a very cheap Kmart special with crappy trucks and razor tail). After realizing I had the passion to get back into skateboarding again from skating this crappy board but enjoying it, I purchased a Tony Hawk complete from Birdhouse since that was the last board I rode when I was 15 years old.

I rode the Tony Hawk complete for months until I noticed that I was having trouble getting up and down the ramps in the local skate park. I remembered that I still had the Bones Bearings in the crappy Kmart board. I removed the complete's generic bearings and replaced them with the Bones REDS and have not looked back.

Recently, I purchased an 8.5" Bamboo Complete that was on clearance for $70 on Black Friday but the bearings and wheels that came with the board really sucked for skating park. I put my Birdhouse wheels on the board and tried them with both the generic complete bearings and the Radeckal bearings that came from Bamboo but I found that the Bones REDS were still the fastest.

Now, I am getting ready to purchase my first 60mm Bones SPF wheels and Bones Super REDS. I was debating whether to go Bones Swiss but since I just spent $70 on myself during Black Friday, I figured that I could probably justify spending another $10 on Bones Super REDS bearings in addition to the wheels but I could not justify to my wife spending as much as I would have to on Bones Swiss yet, although I would love to own a pair of Swiss, even if they were old and I just had to clean them. Maybe next year!

Meanwhile, I am excited about upgrading my Bones REDS to Bones Super REDS along with the larger 60mm Bones SPF wheels. I cannot wait to see the speed I get when I hit the skate park with the faster wheels and bearings. Thank you for all you do, Skate One! Bones are the best! Nothing else comes close!

10 year old bearings spin like crazy Review by Elijah

I bought REDS bearings over 10 years ago. Had put my skateboard away to pursue other things. I just picked my skateboard up recently and the wheels still spin like crazy. Says a lot about the quality of this product. (Posted on 11/8/2018)
