Bones Six Balls is the answer to the serious skateboarder's prayers. For years Bones Swiss was it. That was all you needed. They spun fast, they were pretty strong, and if you took care of them they would last for years.

But then skating got intense. The average skater was hitting rails, ollieing 10 stairs, and hitting big gaps. This is a whole other level of skating. Skateboard bearings are not designed for this sort of impact. There is a whole other dynamic to the type of loads exerted on skate bearings at this level. This was the idea behind Bones Six Balls. They have six larger balls than the traditional 8 balls. Since each ball is bigger, they are harder to break. Ball breakage is one of the major reasons why bearings fail. Interestingly enough, bigger balls lower the pressure exerted on the races. This also lowers the chances of the races breaking. All around it's a better design for high impact skating.

Bones super swiss 6 ball bearings, without a doubt, best bearings i have ever skated in my life, and i have been through many many different types of bearings through these last 12 years of my skateboarding career, fkd, spitfire, any other skateboard bearing brand out there, they just don't add up to bones signature style, i mean look, these are ridiculously super fast, easy to clean, and about damn near impossible to break, i would still be riding the ones i had but i was too lazy to clean them and i skate some pretty dirty spot, still lasted me about 6 months (no cleaning ever), anyways, the only downfall on these bad boys are the price, leave you looking at the reds, which aren't bad either, you can never go wrong with bones, but if you got the extra forty or fifty bucks, by all means you should buy these bearings, they will change your life and your skateboarding forever, just picture it, instead of 5 kicks to get enough speed to go over a 20 stair you just run and jump on your board, or your in a bowl, 10 dollars you dont have to pump once, trust me, your leg well thank you afterwards, not to mention they have been around for years and years so the heads up at bones know what there doing, but if you really don't believe me and your feeling a little skeptical go to your local wal mart, there in every town, buy a deck and lets see how far you get, the answer, nowhere, so stay smart and go for the gusto, ride the hell out of this amazing gift from the skateboard bearing god, bones super swiss 6 ball, and plus there swiss, i mean c'mon! its swiss!!!
