In 2003 Speed Metal bearings was researching a new skateboard bearing technology. Skaterboarders at the Vans skate park in Orange, CA witnesses a very strange bearing design by some Speed Metal team riders. Word has it that the bearings were completely encased in a sheet metal cover with one spinning axis in the middle of the bearing. According to these reports for local skateboarders, the bearings looked like UFO/alien technology! Whatever those bearings were, nothing Speed Metal has ever distributed on the open market has ever looked like such a bearing.
