I'm going to get even more shit for this, but I continue to back Rock'n Ron's.  I love the ceramics if I'm just skating the bowl (really too fucking fast), but the metal ones are great for street skating and all around everything else.  Recently, I ordered a set of Ballistech stage 2 and ended up getting 2 sets of bearings for $40.  I don't know if that was a mistake or just some generosity for being a regular customer.  Yes, quality bearings are worth it.

here's the site with all the bearings

there best ceramics are only $84. i've heard geezers talk about these before so i know the old school vert crowd is into them but i wonder if they have the quality of swiss. i'd rather pay the extra $40 if bones lasted longer but $40 bucks is way cheaper so it's tempting to try these.

so wudjya get dood?  let's put some closure on this.

I had some a couple years ago, you still have to clean them, there were sick to start with, but streets over here are filled with grime, grit, and so much other shit that if you're not cleaning them out they just go fucked so fast it's shit

They were ok, if you skate parks you'd be stoked
...can't believe this thread brought Donnie Murdo out of the woodwork!

If she turns you down, I'm willing to write a testimonial to possibly overturn the disapproval.  Will you have to resubmit the paperwork, though?

This kid I barely knew at Vans hooked me up with Bones super swiss 6, the blue ones.


They're tight, but I don't notice the difference between them and Reds.

aside from Reds are red
