Bone Swiss Labyrinth Bearings

So I hit up Carve Skate Shop for the first time in a while because I was finishing a few things on my Arbor Axis Bamboo. Bearings were the last thing on the list and when I went to Carve, they were out of the Super Swiss 6 that I had intended on getting so instead I went with their suggestion and got the Bone Swiss Labyrinth.

Boarding on these guys for a couple of weeks now I have gotten a feel for how they are straight out of the box. One thing that I noticed first off was the longevity of my rolling after a kick. These bearings will let you roll for a long time straight out of the box, and only continue to get better as they get broken in. This was a huge plus with me. Acceleration was about on par with the Bone REDS however.

A perk they added onto these bearings was the double sided dirt shields. This enables speed cream to stay within the bearing and dirt to continue to stay out. A downside to this however is the cleaning process of the bearings. Remember that you need to be careful when taking off the dirt shields and never bend them; with shields on both sides, this can become a real trick.

Overall, I am satisfied with these bearings. They put out the speed and durability on slides and hard turns when needed. Were they worth the $60 I paid for them? Probably not, they should be closer to $40, but what can you do, right? Would I recommend these bearings to people? Yes.

Too Long

It has been way too long without a post. I feel like I has displeased my readers and left them with nothing but rereads of old posts! I am very sorry and I swear to Skatan I will not do this again!

It looks to be that time of year guys! Things are finally warming and up and its more and more of the perfect day to just get outside and go skate. I don't know about yall but I love skating all day, every day; and with a few good days like it has been, I will definitely be outside too much for my own good.

It's a little on the late side but here is a preview for March Endless Longboards:

With the weather finally up to boarding season, we need to get ready for everyone to stay safe. Some time this month I will be sure to touch on subjects like what do look for when buying a new board, helmets, and gloves. Safety first and always. Be sure to ride a few for me, bomb a hill, and impress the ladies!
