Do you know any bearings that are really fast and last long? I tried the reds and they only lasted for about 5-6 months. The FKD Golds look pretty good, and so do the Black panthers. I am not a big shorty's person, but whatever. I don't have enough for the bones ceramic though. Thanx:D

Girl bearings kick it hard. They might not be the fastest but they are American made. Good shit. I aint prejudice but US products are better than China shit. Feel me?

why do u need superfast bearings? and be;live me, dont get any ceramics if ur doing any tricks, they will crack. get more bones, theyre about as fast as any abec 7, and theyre cheap and strong too. faster bearings arent necessary.

Ceramic bearings, I hear, are really good but really fockin' expensive. Like 70-80 dinero expensive. I don't know anything about them except that they're suppose to be good and are reall fockin' expensive.

When it comes down to it, I can't tell the difference between Abec 5's and Abec 7's. 1's and 3's aint that great tho...Bones, Girls, Luckies, Black Panthers whatever. Alll bearing brands do their job, some just a tiny bit better than others.

Lucky Titaniums, I am never going back to anything slower again. They are affordable too, but if you want something faster there are the affordable Lucky Ceramics or the expensive Bones Ceramics.
EDIT: It's not even that Titaniums are faster than regular bearings, but they give you a much smoother ride. I try riding my friends setups now and have a hard time pushing off because I am so used to Titaniums.
