Ok, I want to know what bearings you're currently using, how you rate them:
Eg:
Name: Speed Demons
Speed: whatever/10
Durability: whatever/10
How long you've been skating with them?
Would you buy them again?
I'm thinking about getting some lucky's or speed demons but I'm still considering some other brands. I've heard China Bones are absolute crap and fall apart in a couple days.

here are two different types of bearings i've had:
independent "BFS"
speed: 2/10
durability: i dunno, after a few days the shields were already caved in... 2/10?
speed demons
speed: 8/10
durability: 7/10 the shields were caved in after a few days but that didn't affect the speed...

Bone Redz are what i am currently using.
speed: 8 out of 10.
smoothness: 9 out of 10.
lastability: 8 out of 10.
Good bearings cheap as well!
Speed cream come sin good use as well it's made by the same companie so they last longer overtime!

I've been skating for 9 months with these, and they just recently started to crap out.
I probably would buy these again, but I just order some abec 3 Black Panthers from Skate America! I hope they're good.

why did you bring up a 2 year old thread...?

heres a sure fire way around questioning somebdy like that.
1). Ask why he didn't bring it up
2). Reverse your answer and there you go.#
He didn't bring it up because he valves his life
He brought it up because he doesn't valve his life
This theory works on pretty much anything...

LUKY TITANIUM:
speed 9/10
duribility 11/10
the best made bearing i have ever rode i really cant see these things ever breaking plus easy to service and they seem to get better every survice.
i just realized this thread is so old but the info is still useful to someone i guess and rustyburrito your pathetic attempts to boost your post level is really quite sad

red bones
speed 8/10
durability 2/10 (i broke 5 the 2nd week)
3 weeks, had to replace broken ones but eventually switched to old set of bearings. they broke from flip trickin off stuff, bailing and stuff...
bones super swiss 6
speed 10/10
durability 7/10 (i broke 2 in a month. But the rest held up.)
overall good bearings but pricey. stronger i guess. I would still have em but they got stolen with my flip... arghh... 40 bucks gone...
