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!

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)
