Skateboarding
 For the Love of Skateboard Bearings '' Blog by Morgan Chambers

If you ride a skateboard every day, you may sometimes think about how to go faster. Feeling like you are riding with the brakes on is a terrible sensation. We are talking bearings here and you should know that if you do ride a lot, your bearings will need more attention. In the mechanics of skateboards, your bearings are the tip of the spear.

Learn to work on your rig. Learn how to keep things tight and how to make adjustments to the trucks. Skateboards, like cars, do have wear items and your bearings are not just one of them but the main one. When you go shopping for new bearings, you should do a bit of research so you know what is available and then place that up against your riding style to make your final choice. Know your ABEC and your ISO standards as well as your 608 classifications and you will get exactly what you want and need out of your bearings. And remember, holding the new bearing in your hands and spinning them will not provide much technical accuracy but putting them in your wheels and mounting up to ride, will!
