Bones Reds bearings are the standard in skateboaridng, and it's not because they're average or middle of the road. Bones Reds bearings cost about as little as any bearing does, they're not ABEC rated, and yet they are known by all skaters as the best bearing out there when cost/quality is considered.
 They have got removable rubber shields, and come pre-lubricated with Bones Speed Cream. They run great as soon as you put them on and stay that way. They're durable, they're fast, and they're made in China so they're very well priced.
-Blue Angle Bearings First off, it must be said that these are ABEC 7 bearings which is pretty much as highly rated as bearings get for skateboards. I was on ABEC 3 Black Panthers, a well known brand of bearings before I put these on and its a huge difference between the two. The price between the Black Panthers and these is very similar but the quality is very far apart. These ABEC 7's are insane at keeping you rolling. If you can stomp your tricks clean I don't see a reason why you would ever need to push in the middle of a run again. The colour is pretty sweet too, the blue shields (which are non-removable) look really great. These bearings as I just said, do not have removable shields but I think its for the better. My Black Panthers had removable shields and I found that they popped out and got deformed and just contributed to making them worse, so it's not really a bad thing that these come with non-removable shields.
