Product Review (submitted on September 2, 2019):

Just put a new set of Bones BIG BALLS REDS bearings in my Spitfire Formula Four wheels (sorry, Bones Bearings, but I promise the wheels on my secondary/backup board will be Bones Linear 54-mm 81B SPF Fatties) on my ReVive deck + Venture trucks yesterday and skated them for the first time this morning. I usually warm up by just pushing and carving for about 15–30 minutes first, but the ride with the new BIG BALLS REDS bearings was so buttery smooth I just wanted to do nothing but push and carve which I ended up doing for 90 minutes before starting what I went out to do (practice ollies — I’m a relatively new skater). Some of the lubricant had seeped out of the bearings and into the packaging (perhaps due to being on the shelf), which I compensated for by dropping in a couple drops of Bones Speed Cream RF in each bearing before installing, and the result is an unbelievably smooth, totally silent ride (except for low-key roll of the wheels on concrete). These bearings are amazing, not just for the price point but amazing period.
