bodacious bearings

bearings are a very big part of your skate board. They determin how fast you go. You need them or else you can't move at all. Bearings come in all different brands. The ones I use are called Reds. They are not the best but are still good and kinda low cost ones but they work fine. The best bearings are probably boneswiss they are very good and can go very fast for a sustained period of time. You want to get a kind of berrings that fit you if you are going to go really fast and race a lot you want a fast type of bearing, and if you are going slow then you want a slower type of bearing I would suggest a slower type of bearing for a beginner and a faster type for a experienced person . when you buy the bearings you will need to put them in to do this you have to carefully do it or else they will break. The way I did it I used a big clamp and put it on the bearing then I slowly clamped them in increasing the preasure. When you first get your bearings and put them into your trucks (if you don’t know what those are I will explain them later) when you first put them in your trucks they will not be as good as they thought you need some time to break in the bearings or you need them to loosen up. Now you have your bearings and you need to keep them in tip top conditions. To do this you will need to keep your skateboard out of the rain and anywhere where water can get into the bearings. If you keep your bearings clean they will last you longer and you can save money because bearings aren’t the cheapest items in the world.
