Product Review (submitted on February 19, 2019):

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?
