Soon Bones was selling Bones Swiss Bearings in shops all over the world. They quickly became known as the creme de le creme of skateboard bearings. They were fast, strong and long lasting. They were also the first set of skateboard bearings that came with instructions on how to maintain and lubricate a set of skateboard bearings. Today many other skateboard bearing manufacturers have a "Swiss" line of bearings in order to compete with the Bones Swiss line of success.

MY FAVORITE KIND OF BEARINGS ARE BONES BECAUSE THEY'RE DURABLE FOR ANY KIND OF TERRAIN AND ALSO THEY'RE CHEAP SOME.BUT THE EXPENSIVE ONE'S ARE BETTER THAN RED'S LIKE THE BONE'S SWISS.THOSE ARE ABOUT 30 BUCKS BUT THEY'RE BETTER THAN THE REDS THE CHEAP ONES.THEN THERE'S THE BONE'S CERAMICS THOSE ARE EXPENSIVE THEY COME OUT TO A WHOPPING 100 DOLLAR'S.ME PERSONALY I HAVE'NT HAD THOSE AND I DONT WANT TO BUY THEM TOO EXPENSIVE WITH 100 BUCKS I COULD BUY A COMPLETE.BUT WHAT I'VE HEARD ABOUT THEM THAT THEY'RE LIFETIME WARRANTY AND THATS CRAZY FOR A COMPANY LIKE THAT.SO THATS WHY I LIKE BONE'S BEARINGS......OH YEAH AND BONE'S ARE SUPER FAST.AND THAT'S WHY I LIKE BONE'S BEARINGS.

The bearings i think are the best and good quality are swiss bearings when i skate swiss they are fast and smooth they are good for street. When i buy bearings i want to get good all around quality. Not some cheap bearings. Swiss roll and ride smooth. They are just simply the best!!!!

I've been skating for around i'd say a good 4 or 5 years, and through those years part of my skateboard got the deck the trucks bushings bolts wheels, but we the bearings, prob the most essential part of the board, hence how are we gonna get anywhere if we cant move, being that when i first started all i knew were them abec's son, so i figured whatever ill get the highest one (7) being that, and started to my journey through skating, and as i got farther on the adventure, i grew to the sport more and more, realizing that i need better equipment, got some better gear and really started to get hyped, but something was lacking... and that was my speed, see having the bearings that i got when i started did well, but after the board becoming weak from the weather and other conditions, the bearings of the board seem to fail, WD40 failsauce! so i shopped around for a new bearing and had some people tell me that luckys were good and i didnt know wat to tell them i didnt like that sh*t, but then i stumbled across these bearings called bones, just at a glance i saw these red bone swiss, and i thought i had to have them, so once i got those and continued to shred, and then grew to the bones ceramics which are still til this day a great set of bearings 70 80 bucks totally worth it for bearings to last 3 some years fo sho, but thats the story, so theres ur story about the bearings adventure.

The best bearings for skateboarding would have to be bones. Bones bearings are fast and last a long time. The pair I have now I have had for a little bit over 10 months. Ever since one of my first boards I have chosen to ride these bearings for the same reasons everybody else does. The bearings are also easy to clean which only adds on to the point on how there fast and last long. Also the bones bearings are on the stronger side because I have never broken any bones bearing but have broken a few other companies' bearings before I started buying bones. Even thought some of the bones bearings are pricey, they are worth it because you could have bearings that last you forever like when I was reading a interview in Tran world, Danny Garcia talks about how he has been riding the same pair of bones bearings for a year. Bones also sells many different kinds like bones reds, Swiss, ceramics and other kinds ranging from around 20 dollars like most bearings to around 100 dollars, but if you buy these bearings they are sure to last like mine and also many of my friends choose to ride the same companies. Bones also makes other products that are good sellers like bones wheels. Also bones have a team that is down for skateboarding. Some of the best like Jimmy Cao. If some of the best ride them they must be good because I don't want to have bearings that you can't even make it around your local cement park. Bones are sold at most skate shops to because that's what kids want to buy, not slow bearings that come with most completes. Bearings that will last long, skate fast, and are strong, is bones bearings.

Bones swiss are the best bearings. They last for a really long time slightly expensive but worth every penny. I have always been using bones swiss and I don't think I am going to stop. They are a good choice because they can last for years and they wont pop. They last for years and work well. They have been around for a long time and hopefully never go away. Although bones swiss are really good all bones are good for example: bones reds, bones ceramics, bones swiss ceramics any kind of bones bearings will last you as long as 2 years. I have had the same bones swiss bearing for almost three years and once they pop I intend on buying them again at my local skate shop. Bones swiss last long and take an extremely long time to wear out. I do not know what I would do without them. They are amazing. Bones products are all really god but I am not going to get into detail on how good their wheels are. There bearings are amazing bones is the perfect skateboard manufacturer they take the time to make the perfect products and all of their products seem to last for an extensive amount of time. I am dedicated to bones and I do not think I am ever going to switch to anything different. I am sure that there are many American skateboarders who will agree with what I have said in this review. This review was dedicated to bones swiss bearing and how long they last.

The best bearing to me would have to be Bone Swiss bearings. They last a hell of a long time can take hard impacts like a pro and there super fast. What more could you ask for? i think i had a set of these for atleast... 6 or 7 months after that it seems they either pop or just arent as fast calling in for some new bearings.. but for me i always stick with a set of bone swiss bearings :)
