Bones are the shizzy man! Ive been using them since my first board which was 9 years ago. Keep 'em clean and they wont let you down.

— Jo Mo

I've had the same set of Bones Bearings for 2 years now, and they are still holding up, and just as fast as any other bearings at the skatepark. I clean them monthly and hardly ever actually lube them, but they still fly! Previous to these REDS, I had a set of Bones Swiss and those were a little faster, but you cant beat the price of REDS.

— J C

I got my first set of Bones Swiss about 5 years ago. I was so impressed with the performance, I never tried another bearing. My current set is the super 6 ball, and they roll sooo nice. I've had them for a year and all I so is clean them once a month. They roll great.

— Leon

I used to have Luckys and was skating at the park, and I saw all these people getting way more speed than me with two less pushes. So I asked all of them individually what kind of bearings they were riding, and all of them answered REDS. well, that was like 6 months ago, and I got Reds then and they rock... like everyone in my neighborhood has REDS now!!!!! Rock on Bones!!!

— Dude Johnson

I don't have bones but I tried my friends and they ROCKED! Soon I will be buying bones!!!!

I had my Bones REDS for over a year and didn't really clean them that often and the were great till the thing that holds the bearings in broke in 2 spots. But I still used it till i got a chance to go get some Bones Swiss Bearings and they are great.

— Sean

I started skating 2 years ago and the first bearings I ever had were Bones Swiss. They are awesome and all my friends skate them and we all have no complaints. The good thing about how Bones Swiss are skater rated is that abec ratings test the bearings at a speed that no one could ever go on a skateboard. Whenever I'm at the skate shop and someone is trying to buy bearings I tell them to get Bones. These bearings are amazing.

— Spencer

Started skating in earnest again 10 years ago. Always aspired to have Swiss as a kid and made sure this new setup was rocking them... 12 boards, two sets of trucks, God knows how many kingpins and many wheels later my bones are broke. I was shocked. The only original part (the heart) of my setup has given up... well one of the shields will no longer stay in! They have been used at least twice a week every week for ten years cleaned properly and speed creamed twice a year. I think it is time for a new set of Swiss 6... Hopefully in ten more years, at an age of 43 once the kid has left home, I may have enough cash for some Ceramics. Any one want to buy some second hand Swiss originals with one shield missing they still run as fast as any in the park! Seriously though these bearings lasted me 10 years. I'm no tech whipper-snapper; I ride hard, fast and burly. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING ELSE. P.S. As a parent I should point out the only lasted this long because I kept them clean.

— Oldtimer

OMG, I bought a pair of Lucky bearings abec 7 and in one day, no bull, the shield came off. Oh God, was I pissed. I hate Lucky bearings. Lucky should not be a bearing company. It should be a gun company so they can shoot themselves with guns. I love Bones REDs!!! Awesome Bones... WOOT WOOT.

— Ruben Bustos

Dude... I just got the Bones Super Swiss 6 Bearings and they're great... =) They go faster than my luckys and they still haven't even broke in. I can just imagine how fast I'll go when they break in.

— Eduardo

Bones are the fastest bearings in the world! They have sweet control and precision.

— Kyle Johnson

I've been skating for almost 2 years now. That's when I got my first pro board. I had Lucky Abec 5s at first... and let me tell you... those things SUCKED! So about 3 months went by while I learned the basics on those, but then I broke them when I did a tiny little three stair. I had to get new bearings and saw reds, I immediately felt a change, they were faster and stronger than my luckys by a long shot. Since then I've had 3 sets of REDS, 1 set of Swiss Labyrinths, and my Super Swiss 6 are in the mail as we speak. My first set of REDS lasted me about 5 months... then I got lazy and bought a pack every 2 months for about six months. REDS are definitely awesome! The only thing I didn't like was that they needed to be kept clean... and living in Connecticut where it snows and they put salt on the roads a lot is pretty hard. Yet, the only problem I ever had was the retainer braking. I've now had my Bones Swiss Labyrinths for a little over three months, I have already broken one bearing but I threw a REDS in it and it works fine. (let me first tell you that I've only cleaned these bearing twice in the past 3 months... it's amazing that I've only broke 1 bearing!) I love Bones Bearings!! I do strongly recommend cleaning them whenever you can hear them rattle though. There really are little to no problems with Bones Bearings...especially the Swiss products. I can't wait until I get my Super Swiss 6 in next week.

— Bacon

Bones Bearings are incredible. I just bought a set of Swiss Ceramics, and man are they awesome! A little pricey, yes, but they are well worth the money; overall a good investment. Buy them today!

— Josh

Ive had my Bones Bearings for two whole years and they still haven't broke on me. Thank God for Bones Swiss. whenever these babies break I'm going to get some Ceramics.

— Justice

I got some Bones Swiss and they're bad ass. I also got grind king rims and I've never had to clean my bearings. I'm looking forward to getting some Super Swiss 6, but my Swiss are lasting for ever.

— Caleb

They are great! I can't believe how smooth they ride! My other ones sucked compared to these! I can't wait until the new ones come out! When people say how good these are, they're not kidding!

— Richard Perkins

I got the Super Swiss 6 and they're the best bearings I ever had. I had OG Swiss before these are a lot better. OMG. Stop procrastinating Bones Bearings. Make a Bones Ceramic Labyrinth Super Swiss 6 balls, yeah!

— Chyahh

Bones are the only bearings I have ever tried and they're great. Right now I have the Super Swiss 6-ball bearings and they're the best. They're smooth and go super fast.

— Noah

I'd break my Bones before I leave Bones.

— Sergio

Now that my Swiss Ceramic Labyrinth bearings are all worn in, I will now state that Bones Bearings are the FASTEST, STRONGEST, SMOOTHEST AND ABSOLUTE BEST SKATEBOARD BEARINGS ON THIS PLANET. Period.

— Shane

My Bones Swiss are the best ever. I've had them for 5 months and they rock. my friend got some element swiss and they suck badly. They're really slow and they make funny noises. Well my bearings are the best on the block. They still rock even after I did a sweet tre of a 6 set.

— Nick

Ceramic Labyrinths are the best bearings hands down! Imagine an even better one. I think it would have to be Super Swiss Ceramic 6 ball, in Labyrinth or regulars.

— Jay

I've had every kind of bearings you could think of then I bought some REDS, those were great, and then I bought some Swiss Ceramics and I couldn't believe how good they were. I ollied a 13 stair the first day I got em.

— Derek

OMG, I've had my Bones Swiss, and they are the best, I don't know what you guys are doing to make them awesome but keep doing it. My best friend was looking to buy new bearings, I immediately pointed to the Bones REDS. Rock on Bones.

— Zack

I bought the Super Swiss 6's and there were the best I've ridden but then I won a bet and decided to buy a complete. I got REDS and the 3rd week I had them a bearing broke into pieces. So I just stuck too the Swiss's and they are the best out there.

— Slash

The only bearings me and my friends use. Anything else just wouldn't cut it. Thanks once again for making such a great product.

— Kit Prentice

I bought Super Swiss 6 and they are totally worth the money. It is worth every penny I'd pay 100 dollars for these bearings but I'm lucky I don't have to.

— Winston

I've tried black panthers, luckys, speed demons and lots and lots of bearings and my REDS are better then all of them. And my better board has Super Swiss 6 and I've never ridden a smoother faster bearing that last so long!

— Winston

Bones Bearings are the best. The REDS are cost efficient. Look no where else for bearings.

— Wesley Carter

I read their little spew about the Ceramics and was a little skeptical. I got them and was asked to enter a armature competition well I slapped those bearings in and and skated better than I ever have before.

— Gentry

I tried many other bearings and most of the time the seal ring would crack.I decided to try Bones Swiss Original and put them to the test. What I liked most about them was the smooth fast quiet roll and the price is just right. I'm thinking of trying Super Swiss 6 and Ceramics in the future.

— Alex

I got REDS a year and a half ago and they are still as fast and as good as when I got them. Get REDS! They are fast and don't break. I jumped a few stairs with them and they still work.

— Brendan Edwards

BRING THEM ON!!! I ride Bones in my deck and just got my girlfriend some Super Swiss 6 for her blades... what can I say but these are the best bearings in the world! Faster, smoother and longer lasting than anything we have ever ridden. Total pleasure to have them! Tell all the crew at the local bowl in the toe end of the UK to get them, after they have a blast on my deck, they all get converted!

— Julian Tredinnick

REDS are awesome. I'm on my 4th pair. These are seriously the best ever. These bearings are twice as fast and half the cost of Pig Ceramics. Best bearings ever.

— Colby Engel

I know I already posted a few pages back, but at the end of that post, i wrote that i was getting a speedboard with Super Swiss 6's by the end of the year and oh my God, they are insane! Not that the 83mm flywheels aren't helping, but jeez, I did one push, cruisin with one of my friends, and he had to do at least 7 to catch up. And he's ridin REDS! My bro got a carving board running swiss, and he's happy. He would have gotten SS6, but i got the last set in stock...bwa hah ha! when my Reds die on my shortboard (which could take a while...and I do mean a while) I'll get those Labyrinths, cause I hate cleaning my bearings. It takes too long. but kids, remember to clean your bearings when the get loud. just because they're bones doesn't mean they're invincible. I screwed up one of my Reds because I rode it when it was dirty. It's still faster than my old fkd's tho. P.S. BONES makes good wheels too, give them a try.

— Chris Goding

They are the best in the world.

— Aaron T

I had ABEC 7s but now I have Bones REDS!!!!They are the best that I've ever had.I had borrowed my friend's board and I asked him what bearings he had. He said he had Bones Reds. And so a skate shop had just opened here in the mall. So I went in bought my bearings. There the best I have ever had. God bless Bones REDS!

— Mark

I only had these REDS Puppys for a little under a week and I can already tell that these are good. At the Skatepark I get more speed going down Ramps and more distance off of them. On the street bombing hills It's even faster. My old bearings can't even compare to my Reds. All together REDS the best and every skater should have a set.

— Black Kevin

What I'm about to say can be summed up into a nut shell: Bones bearings are the best! My two best friends own some hand-me-down Bones REDS and they worked pretty well. Both my best friends' bearings were used about a year be4 they were handed down to them and still act perfect. I used to ride on some ABEC-7's and thought they were the best, until I rode my best friends' boards. I thought, "Holy crap! These bearings are great!", because they rolled a lot smoother and were fast, even after my best friends jacked them up with WD40 while riding on heavy skate materials. Reading reviews and listening to other people talk tempted me to purchase some Bones REDS, since I'm on a tight budget. I've tried them on my board, and they work great! I'm going to buy some Bones Super Swiss 6 later on in the future because I love having a lot of speed when I skate. And another thing I like about them is that they last long. Me and my best friends usually skate anywhere one can skate at since there are few areas do to skateboarding being prohibited in a lot of places and lack of skateparks, and we usually get our bearings dirty or wet because we all love to skate, even in rainy weather or in dirty/sandy places. And with all of that, my best friends' Bones REDS STILL act great! But thank you, Bones, for making such great bearings for a lower price!

— Connor

I've had my REDS for a year and there still rollin' great. My friends Element bearings where shot after a month.

— Zebulon

Super Swiss 6 Super fast Swiss precision.

— Dom

LISTEN UP! If you think you have good bearings and the're not Bones, You are wrong! Bones Swiss Ceramics are THE best skateboard bearings you can get. They really help my skating, especially on vert. The Ceramics are super-fast, silent, really smooth, and strong, too. The main reason I got the Swiss Ceramics is because I need to get a lot more speed with less effort, so I have more time to focus on my manuevers. I used to have REDS, which were great, but not as fast as I would have liked them to be. In the past I have had several sets of low-end bearings including no-name ABEC 5s, Birdhouse Jacked ABEC 5s, Pig Speedstars ABEC 7s, no-name ABEC 1s, and crappy FKD ABEC 3s. After getting Bones REDS, I stepped up to the Ceramics, which still improve my skating. God Bless Bones Bearings!!

— Flyin Hawaiin

These bearings might be too fast for mere humans. They really do last AND when you clean 'em they go like new.

— Alpha

These are the best bearing out there. I got Swiss and they are getting faster. Good job Bones.

— Brady

I skated Bones Swiss for a year. They rocked. But then I got the Super Swiss 6, even better. Now I have Bones Swiss Ceramics, and that's the fastest they get. Skate Ceramics!!!!!
