OMG! Bones vs. RockingRons

[F3rni3]

yes the time has come to this which one is better bones or RockinRons?

[Treeunit]

depends what bones vs what rockinrons

[Snowskate to Destiny]

I'm guessing you mean Reds, and I like Reds better than RockinRons.

[drizzle]

I am sure that 99% of this forum has never used rockn rons, and will pick bones.


Even though it's quite clear that rockn rons > any bones.

[froto]

a friend of mine is going to buy rock'n rons pretty soon, he just needs his reds to break. which shouldnt be long. and i would buy some, but my super swiss 6 are doing fine.

[F3rni3]

ok fine lets say swiss 6 vs. ballistic missle

[drizzle]

hot damn, ballistecs blow swiss 6's out of the water.

[styx]

yup, I've read alot of wonderful things about Rockin Rons. I am gonna get it in a few days time. And they definitely are better than Bones Reds.

[KTWO]

does rockn rons have a website, I can't find any solid information on their bearings? how many bearings do they have? Until I get solid info I am sticking with my swiss just cause they are trustworthey.

all of them are 85 bucks, so id stuck with 15 buck reds even tho i dont use them

[drizzle]

Yeah, all of them, except for the ones that cost $16, $25, and $30. sheesh.

the 80 dollar ones are like... crazy speedboarder bearings.

[str0ngsauce]

Rock'n Ron's FO THE WIN!!! I actually used them and liked em way more than reds, but my store dont got em anymores :(
So I guess I am in that 1 percent the_drizzle

[caliskatezx2]

i am also the other 1% that have used bones and rock n rons. i seriously fucking like rock n rons way better than reds. i have the ballistech rockets($24 ones) and they roll way faster and alot smoother than bones. every single second when speeding with the rons bearings feels like the bearings itself, keeps pushing itself to make you go farther! i just love that feeling

o yeah, and i agee with you on this one 100% dude. seriously cannot agree more lols

ok
i must have missed those

[joy division]

how are Cruise Missiles & Ballistech Rockets? is there much of a difference other than the price?

[lpescato]

just get a set of rons and learn to clean them. drizzle is right they OWN bones.

[ArK9]

i have never cleaned a pair of bearings..

and my bones and still rolling faster then anyone else at any park around me =]

dude...drizzle is pretty much always right about skateboard products. he knows all about bearings and such and knows the MOST about trucks. im not sucking up to him or anythin, but im just speakin da truth. one time he said that rock n rons were the best and explained why and stuff so i bought myself some ballistech rockets and my god he is right.

i could not agree more

[axeclick]

depends what bones vs what rockinrons

yea... same

[lpescato]

its funny that guys like drizzle and myself, if you look at our posts, will speak volumes to rockin rons credit and were not paid or endorsed in any way by ron. we just know that they are the greatest bearings known to man, and bones cant come close in customer service or value. ron is a skater, george powell is a business man. stacy was the driving creative force at powell, and now it's a company that has no corner on the market like it did in the 80s with stacy. ron's business will continue to grow because YOU will become a faithful rider just like we are, and you will attest to the bearing's greatness as well.

[tweaked]

im gonna say bones

[Kingster 92]

Hey I was wondwring whats your setup Drizzle cos u seem to know loads about good products?

I ride a birdhouse deck. it's a terrible board, but it's 9 inches wide, and just a great shape. Never buy a birdhouse, though.
Tracker sixtrack trucks
Autobahn enduro wheels
ron's steel rockets

[Spearson32]

^ are those bearings called "rocknrons rockets"? or the missles?

[drizzle]

I got the rockets a long time ago, before he switched manufacturers. the missiles are faster, though

[Spearson32]

^ sweet missiles are only five bucks more
but the website itll be a while till missiles are restocked
should i just get the rockets instead?

[drizzle]

You could always get missiles another time...

[Spearson32]

^ yeah i guess i can wait a month
hey how do i give you rep anyway?
ive wanted to for a while

[Locklynn]

whats the point of fast bearings it just makes it harder to land off something high, i used to have redz but now i have panthers abec 5 its alot easyer to do gaps

[Spearson32]

^ eh
wrong
first off fast bearings give you more speed to do those gaps
second
if you had good control of your board (not saying you dont)
then you will find its easier

[drizzle]

fast bearings keep you rolling for longer. some of us like that.


Also, if you're doing a gap or drop, and you have slow bearings, you're taking the chances that your bearings will just stop when you land, making you fall. Trust me, it's happened to me.

if youre on some fast bearings like balistech rock n rons and need to go slow to land a gap or somethin, then dont push as hard then you'll prolly go slow.

[lpescato]

the ballistech rockets are the same as the steel rockets, which is what drizzle and i ride. the ballistech missiles are the newer ones and supposedly faster. i want some. i have the rocket ceramics on the park board and omg they are mindblowingly quick.
