I currently have bones reds on my set up. They are good bearings for the price but I want bearings that are faster. Ones that make you feel light on your feet (skateboard). :-P Bearings that dont take you pushing alot with your foot just to get some distance. Im going to get bones for sure I jus dont know which ones I should go with. I was going to get Bones Swiss Labyrinth. They are same thing as Bones Swiss but they keep dirt out more. I noticed theres also Super Bones Swiss 6? Whats that? Also some new bearings came out, Bones Ceramics super reds and Bones super reds? Which ones should I get?

DO NOT GET SUPER REDS. My buddy works at a shop and his boss told him they are almost exactly the same as china bones (reds) except packaged different and $15 more. To be honest, if you get regular swiss bones and clean them once every season they will run fast and smooth for at least a couple years. They are completely worth the price. I don't know much about the labyrinth ones though.

If you want long lasting bearings get the swiss, not ceramic, they break.



P.S. I <3 concrete.

Super Red? There aren't any. Red indicate they are made in China, Swiss are Swiss. They are Super Swiss 6, they are not red (made in China)

invest in some costly bearings, and maintain them regularly.

Lol i think im doing something wrong... I have had my reds forever (2-3years.) yes i clean them, lube them up, and clean them. They run very well. im not saying they are the best, i mean swiss are really good just too expensive to me. But my reds have lasted me, and i like them. If you have the money buy swiss.

swiss six are supposed to be really good but ive never tried them i would just stick with regular swiss cause if you ask anybody that has ridden them they will tell you there the best

get the swisses. ive broken three packs of reds on flatground only taking a week each time. ive been skating my friends wheels and the reds in it are blown just from the 2 and 3 stair. i dont even skate hard at all. i have never tried swisses but i assume they dont break in under a month like reds. just spend the extra money. ive only skated reds and black panthers but i can tell you just get anything else but reds or those super reds.

Guys these are Bones Swiss Labyrinth
http://www.bonesbearings.com/products/bearings/bones-swiss-labyrinth/ (http://www.bonesbearings.com/products/bearings/bones-swiss-labyrinth/)

And these are Bones Swiss
http://www.bonesbearings.com/products/bearings/bones-swiss/ (http://www.bonesbearings.com/products/bearings/bones-swiss/)

So Bones Swiss Labyrinth is the same EXACT thing as swiss but they come with labyrinth shields? Yeah? Do you guys suggest I just get the Bones Swiss? I dont wanna be testing out bearings..so if you guys arent sure bout the labyrinths jus tell me and I'll get the original swiss :)
