When I got my long board, it came with a set of Bones REDS. Have been rolling on those ever since. When I had to replace my skateboard bearings, I did it with Bones REDS. Never going back.
— Sam “Bam Sarlow” Barlow , Student
When Corey Duffel came to Costa Rica he gave me the ones that he has Bones Swiss and I have two words ... just awesome.. a year and a half using it!!! Bones Swiss for life.
— fabian “fa chvs”
My BruthA told me about Bones REDS... never looked back since any other bearings waste of time. Strictly Bones.
— Beau “Nuddi” Spooner , Fuck the system
I have been skating for about 10yrs now and have tried all other bearings luckys, pigs, black panthers, reflex, speeddemons and countless others. And have busted races and retainers and ball bearings fly everywhere left stranded far from home having to walk home. all other bearings are sluggish and flat out suck. now that I'm older I finally purchased Super REDS, Bones Swiss, and a set of REDS Ceramics for my setups and the ride is unbelievable. I will never go back to crappy bearings again if your a true skater no other bearing will do Bones brand is a no brainer. so go get some!!!!!!!!

I just got REDS today and they are the best.
— Rahul “rahul”
I just have to say that Bones REDS are the best and they provide more speed, acceleration, and durability better than other bearing companies out there.
— Dylan “Coconut Head” Tran
I've been skating for a few years now and over that time I've been through tons of bearings and brands. But Bones Bearings are the only ones I trust and will always use. Ceramic Swiss are AMAZING. YOU GUYS ROCK!
— Devun
I just put my 2010 Bones Swiss bearings that I had used for about a year on m brand new loaded vanguard. It has Orangatang 75mm 80a wheels and Paris 180 trucks. The loaded jehu performance bearings, which came with the board, spun for about 35 seconds. Immediately after installing the Bones Swiss, I did the same test to find that the wheels spun for 3:04.
Message: go Bones or go home.

I haven't skated for 2 years I go to my grandmas and there's a skate park so I decided to give it a try again.so I went to my closest skateboard shop and asked for some bearings but I didn't know nothing about bearings. I wanted some good bearings but cheap. They told me to get REDS I got them and now rocking them in the skate park.
— kevin alvarez
I made the purchase of the 6 balls. DAYYYUMMMN. So good!
— Jake “karen” Fry
I first heard of these bearings at my local skatepark. So I' getting a new board and I'm like, REDS!!!! And so far they have been the most reliable bearings I ever tried. And I'm probably going to be sticking with Bones without a doubt.
— joel “jelly” mcclure
I've had 2 set of REDS Ceramics, they lasted almost a whole summer till a few of the ball bearings cracked because I skated to hard with them, so instead I got Super Swiss 6's for about the same price and since then I haven't bought a different set of bearings. Thanks to you guys who make the best bearing out there.
— kyler
I skated with Black Panther abec 5's for quite a while and recently switched to Super Redz. What a HUGE difference! Overall smoother and faster! Hopefully I'll get a set of Super Swiss 6's for Christmas!
— Fat Nat
Always Bones REDS for me. Have never even tried any others because I cant see how they could possibly be better. Whether bombing hills or slamming in the town centre they are always perfect and outlast every set up I've ever had.
Thanks Bones dudes!

When I was a wee youngin' my grandma had a stroke, I was currently in catholic school and I received a phone call from my mother during class explaining she had no more then a few minutes to live whilst on her hospital bed. My priest looked in my worrying eyes and said "Godspeed my Boy" and handed me his skateboard setup with Swiss bearings and a bible with the Bones Swiss emblem on it. I flew at the speed of a bat outta hell with my priests board, God and Satan watched and applauded in awe as I exceeded 40mph flat ground to the hospital. Except I did not stop at hospital and with no regret raced to the skatepark flatenning large bugs with my face much like a car windshield on a freeway. My grandmother still smiles at me today when I purchase Bones Swiss bearings.
— Harry
I just bought my first longboard and I got Bones Super REDS and they are amazing!!!!!!!
— Jack “Attack”
If you are considering buying a pair of Bones Bearings, but aren't sure and are reading all the testimonials, just stop here. THEY ARE THE BEST. End of.
— Andrew
Hey I just got some Bones Swiss bearings a few weeks ago. Right after I got them I lubed them with speed cream and put them in my wheels. Just 3 days ago my friend got Shake Junt bearings and did the same. We're kind of competitive so we always try to see who's bearings are faster. I don't live anywhere near a skatepark and only get to go to one about once a month, so my bearings are not broken in yet. He lives colser to the skatepark and goes every weekend, and his are broken in. And when we have "Bearing Contests", I still always win.
— Gunnar Ellis
Can't believe how smooth and durable Super REDS are. :D
— Ed
The best of the best!!!
— Nuno “Gaia” , KATE SKATESHOP
I had 2 sets of REDS in the past years and I always loved them but after almost 13 years of skating finally I got SWISS yesterday. They're fast as s**t!
— Ignacio “Moon” Nuñez
First off, your your products far surpass any other company out there! I have had the same set of Bones Swiss bearings for at least the past 10 years, i have ridden in the rain the dirt, you name it and they are still like brand new! They have lasted me through 4 decks! I just recently purchased a long board and absolutely had to set it up with the Swiss bearings, I swear by them....Keep up the great work with your top-notch products!
Your satisfied costumer,— Mike “Duane” Hannay
The first set of good bearings I had was back in seventh grade. I got REDS on my board for my birthday, and I started getting more serious with my skating. I'm now a freshman in college, and I've busted two decks and three bearings since I got here about a month ago. The decks are understandable, but after three bearing replacements, I decided to go into my stash and get the bearings that never failed. I washed some old grease off the six year old REDS, and set them up. They still ride like the day I got them, and I think they'll probably last the rest of my college career (and if not, $15 to replace the whole set isn't bad…). Thanks a million from the East Coast!
— Geoff
Our team recently headed to Ottawa to get some hill bombing footage, so I picked up a set of REDS for the price and I can tell you, I've never gone faster down a hill. Thanks for the awesome bearings!
— Topher , CoW Longboarding
I have Bones Swiss on my longboard and when ever I race my friends down hills I always win, even if they start before me.
— Tolga “TDAWG”
I have the Super Swiss 6 bearings and I love it! But I wanna make a suggestion. You guys should make another ceramic bearing but with the 6 ball bearings in it. If you guys could do that, I'd be psyched!
— Kevin Alano
I recently purchased my first longboard, having skated short for 35 years. I ordered a set of Bones bearings and all the cleaning stuff.
While waiting for delivery, I have looking through your web site .... and I already feel like one of the "Bones Family". I have learned a shitload about cleaning and maintenance that I never knew. I really feel like you guys care!
I can't wait to start putting all this new knowledge into practice.
Many thanks in advance,
— Giles “Julio” Ashford
You guys make some awesome bearings!
— Michael
Got my first set of Bones REDS and they are frickin amazing! GO REDS!!!
— Matt “The Great”
It's been 18 years and tack on 100 lbs since I last skated around on my own board. The other day a kid let me mess around with a cheap-o longboard and I realized how much I missed skateboarding. So I decided to get back into boarding... Ordered a brand new complete longboard. (Gravity Kalai fatty flex, ABEC11 76mm 75a Gumballs, with 10'' stalker gullwing trucks... and had them throw in your sweet Swiss ceramics.) The board just came in today and to be honest this board scares the living crap out of me. lol I can really tell the difference from a cheap-o brand to these monsters. Now i can't wait for my pads and brain bucket to arrive so I don't kill myself out there. Anyways.... Outstanding job on an outstanding product! Usually the skater breaks in the bearings... I have a feeling the bearings are going to break me in lol
— Jonathan “Frosty” Webb
Fucking fast... no other feeling just burning down a hill with the ceramics!
— Al Currence
Hey, I love your bearings. I ride them almost everyday in my set up and I love them. They ride better than any bearing I have ever ridden. Thanks.
— Sam “Creation” Creton
I've always longboarded with cheaper bearings with the expectation of changing them out after every run, then I heard about Bones Super Swiss 6 that pretty much last forever as long as you take care of them. 6 months later and 84 runs and they still are as smooth as the day I got them.
— ian “malango” cassinera
I never thought bearings made a difference until I tried Bones Swiss.
— Mark “Marv” Shackleton , flaktraks.tumblr.com
Bought some Bones REDS, although they are more expensive they are by far the best on the market, I've had spitfire, speed demons and all the other brands but none of them come close to the speed and strength of these AWESOME bearings, I would highly recommend these babies if you take your boarding seriously, I would.
— Jack “Jack”
I bought my first set of Bones Swiss bearings on a secondhand board from a used sports equipment shop. 7 years, hundreds of miles, and ZERO cleanings and they still run just as well as half the bearing you can buy new today. Thanks for the amazing products!
— Connor
I don't know. Maybe they are good. I don't know. Naaaaaaaaa, I'm just joking... I have never had a better set of bearings!! Considering the price, Bones REDS are the best bearings in the world of skating!! Go REDS!!!
— Carlos “The Burritou” Haneski , The Flip Flap Skaters
You people did a great job by making those bearings. My Swiss Ceramics are awesome. They go fast, are easy to clean and are the best bearings I've ever seen and used. Keep up the good work.
— Mikeas
Bearings are amazing.
— bailey domangue
I used to skate with a friend's board that didn't have Bones on them. So when I learned he was getting another, I told him to go with REDS. He had his doubts, until he tried it out. He gave me his board and I put REDS on it too. So now I have a board that skates like new and the best bearings ever.
— Will
Dear Bones, I recently found my dad's first skateboard which he gave to me. He's an old guy now (about 50) not really that old, LOL, when I took a look at what his set up is I found that he has Bones Bearings and a sticker on the board. I took the board for a a ride it works like new! My friend and I went for a spin and I had no problem keeping up against my landyacht. A true test of durability is that your bearings are still fast after at least 20 years. I plan to keep this board as a vintage treasure with no new parts and ride it as much as i can. Keep up the unreal craftsmanship!
— ethan
First, I started out with Darkstar bearings. They popped out. Then I switched them for Speed Demon bearings. They were too slow. And THEN I bought some REDS, because I decided that I didn't want to sk8 around with shitty bearings. So far,these bearings are really popular in my school, and they sure are really good! Good Quality,Good speed, and they come with a free sticker ;).
— Junelle
I wanted to tell you people at Bones that you guy have the best bearings and product. I will always buy you're guy's bearings. THANK YOU!
— Richard Pasillas
So I have been skating for a while, and never once have I changed my bearings. Every time I got a new deck I simply threw my bearings on there. After hearing about Bones I thought maybe I should get a new set of bearings, but I should wait till my other ones stop working well. I have a feeling I won't be getting new ones anytime soon because Ive been riding REDS the whole time. :D and they still work great!
— Roy Roque
Bones bearings are amazing and they get even better as you ride them! I have been skateboarding for almost a year now and have been riding bones reds for 4 months...Only 1 thing to say...AWESOME
