The worst bearings I ever skated was Spitfire Cheapshots and Modus Abec 5. Broke it maybe a week.

Destructo make bearings at one point. Every single one that I had ended up blowing out eventually.

You mean Destructo put their logo on the packaging of some cheap industrial bearings and sold them for 4* the price?

My first bearings, "Pleasure Tool" bearings. Someone recommended them on the Bob's Trick Tips forums. They were a few dollars cheaper than reds and blew out after 6 months.

Lucky's where pretty shit. I've been riding the same swiss 6 ball or something bearings forever. Granted i don't skate nearly as much much but when I clean them once a year they are money.

Bought a set of Girl bearings and three of them blew out in the first two weeks. Haven't bought Crailtap products since. Reds that I'm currently riding have lasted close to two years now

Nicotines. They were cheap.

Cheapshots are fucking garbage. But you get what you pay for, except with Bronson apparently.

Heard good things about rock n rons bearings, but the set I ordered fucking seized up after 2 days of skating, and cleaning them didn’t unseize them. Luckys were pretty shit too.

Hard Luck and Speed Metal. Blew through both within a month.

Where to start...

Lucky.
Speed demons.
Zero black widow.
Spitfire.
Bronson.
Shake Junt.

I thought I was tripping.. I'm pretty sure I had some shitty baby blue girls bearings or something like that with some gold on them. lol

Reflex abec 5 Josh Kalis. Slow out the gate and broke within like a week
SKF Abec 7 Andrew Reynolds bearings. Broke in less than a week. Realized after this set that having a pros name on a bearing doesn’t mean shit haha

Might have been the shields that seized them up. I’ve skated the regular rocket and ceramic Rock n Ron’s. Both great but the shields for me seemed to get weak fairly easily enough to where they started sink and get pressed into the core of the bearing

Shields looked fine but even running them shieldless didn’t work.

Funny thing is, I have Shake Junt abec 7 bearings and they’re surprisingly good so far.

I think the first bearing i ever skated were Lucky, with green metal shields. They were never fast, ever, and they broke doing beginner low impact stuff. I can’t remember all the bearings I’ve skated but I always had the most random wtf brands.

Reflex bearings. Got a set of ABEC-5's and the bearing balls shot out of them in like 3 sessions. Told them, and they sent me ABEC-7s and the balls shot out in the first 15 minutes. Went back to swiss and never looked back
