ARTICLE – Bones Reds are well-known, popular, precision-skate bearings. It doesn’t matter if you’re a skateboard commuter, a skatepark regular or you’re working on tricks in your driveway, high-quality bearings are a must.
My teenager is a skateboarder and says that for less $20 it’s well worth upgrading your bearings —almost certainly better than just using whatever comes with your board. He says his Reds make his board ride significantly smoother, longer and faster.
