Bones® Bearings Reviews

I've skated since a kid, but never too serious, I just like to putt around. Yesterday was the first time I assembled my own entire board with bones swiss bearings……. it felt like the first time in my life that I was cruising on the beach like someone should be.

I have ridden Bones Bearings for well over 25 years! I have set of Bones Ceramics that are over 20 years old and still going strong! I just contacted customer service and you guys are incredible.
The best bearings and customer service in the industry and I will never switch and recommend Bones Bearings 100 Percent!
Thank you so much and ALOHA!

I'm 37 years old and I've been skateboarding for decades. In all that time I've been through countless sets of different bearings, but once I locked onto a set of Bones Swiss my skateboarding took on a life of its own. Saying these bearings are fast is an understatement, the shear quality shows time after time without fail. You want the best? Better get Bones Swiss.. Proven long lasting quality. Don't take my word for it, get a set...

I literally came here just because i spun my old bones bearings, that i hadnt touched in years, and they spun so incredibly good. incredible isnt even the word for it. they literally spin so good that it like defies logic. i dont understand how they are so friction-less. words cant describe how much better they are than all other companies. i would never use any other company since i first tried them 15 years ago. i think my bearrings are like bones precisions from like 11 years ago and they are better than they were new. everytime they get rusted from rain skating, they just get rebroken in after a day of skating. i swear they get better with time. never seen anyone break them, or ruin them, even from the roughest or rainiest skating.

I purchased swiss bones ceramics way back in the day before they adopted the "skate rated" scale, I was about 14 at the time of purchase, I'm now 30 years old and that exact same set of bearings is in my current setup, and even after punishing them with sand, water, mud, minimal servicing and everything else they still spin like a dream. Worth every penny, I cant tell you how many other brands I have tried and blown out before trying these. Still going after 16 years!!!

I started skating in 1999 at the age of 9 and decided to buy my first set of Bones Swiss on my first trip to the US in 2003.
It's now 2015, I'm 25 years old and I'm still riding on those very bearings that I bought over 12 years ago and they perform just as well!
Bones Bearings will always be number 1 in my books!

I started skateboarding back in 94. My first set of Bones were Reds for $15. Greatest bearing for the money. After years of skating those (which I still have) I upgraded to Bones Swiss (we called them "Blacks") and rolled them hard. I'd guess at least through three sets of wheels. The year was 2003 and I heard of these Bones Super Swiss Six. I bought them and set them in a set of Bones 58mm Sword and Skull wheels. Dude... It's 2015 ad I still have both the Swiss Sixes and the wheels. I'm a bit older now so I rip a cruiser down a couple blocks to the beach and I still use the Super Sixes. I took the shield off, cleaned all the dirt out of them and used the Speed Cream to lube them up, and those dang bearings still roll just as fast and as hard as when I took them out the box over a decade ago. Some serious bearings man. No joke. The saying goes, "Skate or Die". Thanks to Bones, I can skate until I die (with the same set of bearings).

I LOVE THESE BEARINGS!!! I got some Bones Super Reds online pretty recently, and I already love them. They keep my board going fast over sidewalk cracks and rough, cracked asphalt. They are sooooooooo much smoother than my standard Penny ABEC 7 bearings. I Love these bearings so much, and if you want a cheaper, but not quite as good, just get normal Reds. If you are in need of bearings, Reds are the bearings to get.

Hey, my names Aaliyah and I love red bearings. I just got my first board and I picked red bearing cause I've been hearing such great things about them. I would love some stickers to decorate my board with.

— Aaliyah

I started to skate a few months ago and I didn't have any money at all so I had to use a old pair of penny board bearings. I recently went to buy a pair of Reds and right away I was blown away by the quality. My wheels felt so smoother than before and the speed was amazing compared to what I had before. I highly recommend a pair of Bones bearings to anyone who is in need of new ones.

Hi Alfredo, thanks for sharing. Keep skating.

Hello!
Amateur longboarder here. I just wanted to say thank you for making such excellent products. I have personally owned and loved Bones Reds, and the Super Swiss 6's that I skate now are beautiful. They have taken my carving and downhill to a deliciously crisp new level, and your speed cream is by far the best bearing lubricant that I've found. I really appreciate the work that you do, and if you would be willing to ship me some stickers, I would love to represent your products on my gear.
Thank you, and have an excellent day!

— Zachary Sieburt

Been riding the bones super swiss for over two years and they still roll perfect! Best damn bearings money can buy.

— Christian hawk

I've been skating for over 40 years and all I can say is you just can't beat Bones Reds for the price! It's hard to believe that you can get a bearing this good for so little money. Thank you Bones Bearings!

— Mark

Recently got some Swiss ceramics and was absolutely stunned by the speeds I was getting on them. They last a long time too

— Ben Cupiol

I had just purchased REDS for my new longboard and had forgotten that I had Swiss' in my old skateboard. After I did a spin test on the bearings, the Swiss' (that haven't been cleaned in probably five years and have been riden rough as crap) still spun longer than the brand new Reds I had just purchased. I've cleaned them and have just purchased some speed cream and hope to get the Swiss' spinning like the day I got them again. Thankyou Bones for making quality bearings that last for what seems like forever.

Dear Bones,
My fiance and I recently moved back into my parents house for a month until we move to Vancouver.
We have been dealing with a squeaky back door that was really cramping on our sneaky style.
Thanks to the Bones Speed Cream we lubed up those hinges, and now that hinge doesn't make a peep when we sneak out to take our late night bong rips.
Thanks for helping out a skate couple in a jam!
