If it wasn't for Bones Bearings I wouldn't go half as high.
— Mathias Ringstrom
Wow, I have to say your bearings are just insane. Off the hizzy, I'm using REDS right now because I'm too poor to buy better ones, but when I win the lottery, or get a job, I'm gonna buy the Ceramics. I like the way your bearings can take a beating, and then some. My other friends are using no name bearings, and they really suffer. I tried riding my friends board, and it just wouldn't go like your bearings made my board go. I wish more people would buy your bearings, and then they could manual for longer, and not come to a standstill. Good job on your work. It's nice to know people are still trying today when it's so easy to cut corners.

I was using these speed metal bearings for a while, but then my stupid little bro threw my skate in a pond when he was pissed at me. I had just gotten paid, so I thought I might as well go get a new board. I had to pick the bearings, and I had heard good s*** about Bones, so I figured what the heck and bought some Swiss Ceramics. By the first hardflip nosegrind to fakie manual out, I was screaming at random people that these bearings aren't as good as you hear them described, they're so much f**king better!!!!

Wow, Bones REDS are the best bearings at the cheapest price! Before I had REDS, I used Independent ABEC 5's and the wheels would only spin for about 10-15 seconds. Now that I have Bones REDS, my wheels can spin for 50-70 seconds!! Also, my Bones REDS are the first bearings I have ever lubricated. The clear shields on REDS don't 100% cover the bearing like the red shields do so you can just spray lubricant on the clear shield and it will go inside the bearing. I started lubricating my bearings because one of my REDS were getting slow and wrecked but the lube really made the the bearing better and fast!! I also lubricate my Bones REDS because of the clear shields that don't fully cover the bearing. If you want to get Bones Swiss but you don't have enough money, buy Bones REDS because they are high quality bearings at a fraction of the price which means Bones REDS will save you a good amount of money. Bones REDS rock!!!

— Bryc Talley
Swiss are hands down the best bearings out there. Sure, they're a bit more expensive than other bearings, but once you've the chance to ride them, you'll understand why people who have other bearing sponsors ride Bones Swiss.

The fastest bearings back in the day and 20 years later still the fastest.
— Alan “Ollie” Gelfand
Bones Bearings are the tool that makes skateboarding fast, fun and friendly. You can ask anyone in the industry which bearings are the fastest and if they are honest... they'll say Bones Swiss! That's something to be proud of, for sure.
— Steve Caballero
I'd rather ride old Bones Swiss than something else.
— Pat “P.A.T.” Channita
Bones Ceramics... they're the best. It's ridiculous how fast you can go on those things. They last forever too.
— Paul Machnau
Your bearings are the first ones I've ever purchased, (including those good Swiss ones) that came with those four spacers. Believe it or not, I've never used those till today. I just used to tighten my wheels down until the wheels didn't turn, and then back off a bit on the bolt. But those little spacers make all the difference, because now the force of the nut is going through the bearings themselves instead of forcing the inner bearing to cone slightly from the outer race where they are held against the urethane. I also took the rubber shield out just to have a look at how your bearings are made. It reminded me of when I first used to start riding, back on my old fiberglass Excaliber, when there were no detachable bearings, and I had to repack them every time, and they weren't sealed. But your removable cages allow them to be cleaned like those originals. And why are you the only ones I've seen yet that not only allow me to clean my bearings but also pack instructions on how to do it and encourage me to keep my bearings clean? Because the other companies are only interested in me burning up bearings and continuing to return to them to buy more! Well their scheme just fizzled with me because I'm only going to buy your bearings from now on. I have respect for any company that places the power of knowledge into the minds of their customers. So, well done.

Bones Swiss Ceramic Bearings are the best. I have had a set for only 5 months and they blew all of my previous bearings out of the water. I wouldn't trade them for anything.
— Brad Coons
I got a set of Bones Ceramics from Bones, while trying to clean them, I screwed up and removed all the balls! I sent them back to the factory and Bones reassembled them FREE OF CHARGE! My Bones skate great!
— Erik Lemmerman
I was using a pair of Popwar bearings and they screwed up after falling in the water once. My REDS have fallen in the water 4 times and they are fine, almost better than when I got them! Thanks for making good bearings.
— Matt
When I started skating I didn't know random bearings get destroyed after skating some months. I tried many brands but any kit of bearings surprised me, they all suck! Then I found Bones Bearings, Bones Swiss, known as the best of world. I get to got one kit... Dude, I still use them 2 years ago! Right now I have another Bones Bearings kit... Ahah. Keep making those bearings the best.
