Busting Bearings

[icephoenix775]

I have been using red bones and black widows, but I always have a problem with the roller cage snapping, shields denting and the balls flying in many directions. I use bearing spacers, I make sure the wheel is not on too tight and The highest thing I ollie off is either my one foot kicker or a 1.5 foot drop. Any sugestions?

Maybe you could just be landing too hard. because i have Bones reds too.ive had them for about....5 months and they're still almost like new. Maybe your trucks are too hard for them or somthing....

are you stomping when you land? did you know that from a normal jump and stomp you can create more than 1 ton of pressure between your feet and the ground? just imagine how much it could be if you were 3 or 4 times higher and you stomped on the ground? even bones reds have tolerances. maybe you could try to bend your knees more when you land...
