I'm thinking about getting Rockets but I have two questions. When are the Street rockets coming out? and If these are so good why aren't they sold outside of the internet (ie. SKATE SHOPS)?

Street Rockets will probably never come out as Ron is dedicated to vert riding, although why not use his steels or ceramics for street? You can buy his bearings at some of the SoCal shops but he's really just getting into distribution in other states. I spent all day skating with Ron at Chino on Saturday and his enthusiasm regarding his bearings and his new "Rocket" decks is overwhelming. Ron is straight up the coolest buisinesman I've ever met. He stands by his product like nobody else. Send him an email via californiabearings and he will respond. Rockets Forever, RocknRon Rules.

do you think that(because I skate street) that I could just use spacers or could you help me think of any other solutions?

P.S. I e-mailed him 2 days ago and I haven't gotten a response.

^You must have done something wrong. I emailed him yesterday and already got a response. Once I get the money for these, I'm gonna ride these mothers.

I just bought, and received within 4 days, a set of Rockets. I ordered them mostly because of what I have heard about his excelent buisness conduct. And the fact that anyone who has the Rockets, swears by them. I am now one those people. I have absolutely, witout question, never seen a bearing roll as smooth, and for a long period of time as theese. I got the steels by the way, not the ceramics (don't need to spend 70 + bucks on bearings). Go get your Rockets today, they are hands down the greatest bearing known to mankind!!!!!:-41:

He sure does...Ive been waiting a while for the DH model of the bearing to come out which has a little less acceleration and a higher top end and roll out but apparently Ron has other things he has to work on. I have the steels and they are awesome.
