Bruh don’t be afraid. Just started using them myself and unless your constantly riding through mud, gravel, water, and other crap then you’re totally fine. I skate mostly parks or to work and these bearings have been far better than cheaper bearings I’ve been using for years and so far not a single problem with any debris every time I look at them they are pretty shiny even tho my wheels are filthy! I just wipe them and live them periodically. 10/10

Im a machinist and ive skated for 30 years. Bearings NEED lubrication, and the idea of no shield is a terrible idea. It lets oil out and dust in. I use cheap spindle oil on my Reds, FKD's, Luckys, and they all last a good long time. Just a drop or two every week or so, and wipe off any excess or it will become a dirt magnet. I currently ride Bronson G3's and love them. Just my 2 cents. 🤘

The suggestion that you made for beginners, to learn about 5 different tricks in each different area of skating is a great idea. I remember back in the mid 90's, before public parks started popping up everywhere, I'd say at least half of the people I knew who skated, COULD NOT skate tranny. There was a spot in town with a really nice bank and hip, and those kids would just sit around and whine, or go home when we'd hit that spot. A buddy of mine had a mini ramp in his backyard, and only a few of us knew how to skate it... I didn't mind that though, fewer people gave me time for more runs, haha! Being able to do a little bit of everything is great. Pretty much, no matter what type of spot you go to, you'll be able to have some fun. It also makes skating parks tons more fun.. you can put together lines that cover the whole park, and cruise around and flow, as opposed to going back and forth all day only skating a flat bar or manny pad or whatever.

Good video as always. About the bearings: sound (and heat) are created by friction . Less friction = less sound = less speed loss. In basic mecanics you try to have least possible of friction so cool sounding bearings are a gimmick
@derekperc6 жыл бұрын
This is true, but if you take the shields off of conventional bearings they get louder and you reduce friction. That's because there's not an actual increase in sound, there's just an increase in how much of it you can hear because you've opened up the door to a chamber of moving parts.
@jonasdonders16 жыл бұрын
derekperc that's very reasonable. But no lubrification in between of moving parts? A non sticking pan will never be as good as a regular pan with lot's of butter. No self respecting engineer would use these bearings in a machine. For skateboarding it's ok because you can replace them easily..
@marsbase37294 жыл бұрын
Awesome info, but I would also add that learning how to fall is very important to minimize injury and to be comfortable with trying new tricks. Whenever I teach someone how to skate, I show them that when you feel like you are. going to fall, drop low and turn sideways, tuck your head and roll into it leading with your shoulder. And to never super man pose, lol. I learned the hard way in middle school when I was going fast and my front wheels snagged a crack in the sidewalk and I went flying arms straight out and broke every finger in my right hand. After I healed, I noticed a judo guy roll into a fall after his opponent tripped him. So I practiced on carpet and grass and it's saved my ass plenty of times over the years, with only a few scrapes and bruises. 👍😎👍

@tristanw23196 жыл бұрын
I've personally gone through 3 sets of the Bronson Raws. Bought the first set with a new complete, after a month more than half of them barely rolled and the outer ring was actually broken on one of them. Emailed NHS, told them how one was broken and provided pictures, they were all super nice and helpful, actually ended up sending me 2 more sets of Raws and a set of G3's. Unfortunately, had the exact same problem with the next set of the Raws and actually had the inner ball cage inside the bearing break as well. Emailed NHS about this as well, but got no response. Tried the 3rd set, and they were alright for about a week, then the ball cage on multiple bearings shifted out of place and kept rubbing and squeaking against the outer rings of the bearings. Got tired of dealing with it, switched to the G3's and gave the Raws to a guy at the skatepark. About 2 weeks later, saw him again, asked him how they were working for him, and the outer ring had broken on his. He told me he contacted NHS as well and they were replacing them for him, but I can only assume the replacements probably ended up performing the same as the others. I feel like they're decent bearings if you get lucky with a good set and if you skate strictly Skateparks or similar mostly clean and debris-free areas. If you're skating any street spots near dirt or sand, they will lock up on you immediately. They're mostly quiet at first but after a couple weeks they're honestly deafening. I know a lot of people enjoy the sound but I personally found it annoying. That's really personal preference though. All in all I think they're a very gimmick-y, sub-par product that's really just a cash grab so all their riders can run a brand new set every single day. There's absolutely no reason they should cost $40, nor are they at all worth it IMO. The G3's on the other hand, were just fine. Very fast right out the box, and seem to last just as well as any Bones I've ridden. My only complaint with the G3's is their shields are very thin, and so they bend very easily so be careful when tightening your axle nuts.

Just wanted to say I tried the bronson raws and, after skating them twice, one of the bearings seized up because some dirt got into it.

Bones swiss perform much cleaner, for much longer. I do want to try out the Oust Moc 9 though.

The argument of "they let debris in, but that also means they let debris out!" is complete and utter nonsense. Just because debris CAN leave the bearing doesn't mean it WILL. I challenge anyone to name one piece of machinery, other than bearings (specifically limited to a skateboarding context, no less!) which intentionally allows debris into its mechanism and also claims that random dust and dirt actually improves its performance. I used to work in a machine shop and we would occasionally have to perform maintenance on lathe bearings (pretty much identical to skate bearings and manufactured by the same factories). The shields were metallic and had a superior seal to the cheap plastic shields on skate bearings, and they would often fall off and disappear in general use. Those that lost their shields would get clogged and slow down to a crawl within one working day and needed replacement. Now of course your average skate bearing won't probably get clogged with metal shards, but why willingly decrease the lifespan of your bearing? If it's only for the sound of an exposed bearing, I understand that, it's an aesthetic choice. But the idea that removing the shields doesn't decrease the lifespan of your bearings is a total myth.

In the whole wide world find me another application where people are using sheildless bearings in an open air environment. There is none. The needs of skateboarders aren't unique when it comes to their bearings. If nobody is doing it BUT skateboard companies selling a product, chances are its just a dumb gimmick. The Tungsten is only on the races, it can't do anything to protect the balls, especially against water or even humidity. And its a dry lube that can't be replaced or re-applied. So basically, these Raw bearings won't last. As for the deep raceways, basically all skate bearings have deep raceways. People figured that one out two decades ago.

my insight on the Bronson shieldless bearings is that they are just the same as any old bearing but they will last longer in the sense that you wont lose all ur speed after awhile of hard skating butttttt i will say since there isn't lubrication in them they don't go nearly as fast as other bearing with lubrication in it. if you don't like to deal with bearing maintenance and generally let your bearings go bad and still use them then i suggest them but if u do maintenance often or buy bearing when yours start to lose speed then you probably wont be interested in them

Bronson Raw shieldless bearings are my favorite alongside Carver bearings. Cleaning Bronson Raws is super easy. Forget what anyone else says, just pour a few drops of bottled water on the bearing and keep spinning the wheel super fast (mud will fly everywhere so don't wear your favorite shirt). When the wheel starts spinning better, pour a few more drops and let it sit for about 10 seconds, then flip it so that facade of the wheel is facing downward and spin it super hard again to let the last bit of the dirt and mud fly out. Repeat the above for the opposite facing bearing on each wheel. If the bearing is super caked with dirt and won't spin at all, pour a few more drops of water and let it sit for a few minutes. Apply extra pressure and revv the wheel back and forth in rapid succession. Think along the lines of a DJ scratching a record motion. Then repeat the steps above to get the smaller bits of dirt out.

I got it from Tactics and so when I sent them an email with an attached video of this they actually replaced them because it was so bad. However I was able to save the first pair and use it to a degree after adding a good amount of Speed Creme but now they aren’t incredibly fast. So I’d say these bearings are really flawed at best. And now I wish I bought Bones Swiss instead for a similar price.
@benmilner96726 жыл бұрын
Bronson's reason to continue to produce shielded bearings instead of going completely balls out on shieldless would come down to sales - they will still sell plenty of cheaper, shielded bearings. Customers typically drive the marketplace, and often what a company thinks will be the best product for its target audience won't be unanimously accepted by that audience. Bronson can design and make decisions on what is the best bearing based on years of research and experience; customers make their buying decisions based on practically no experience or understanding of the product at all - this is pretty common when it comes to the buying decisions made in any market.

Shadow Reaper holy fuck. Did you even pass grade school reading comprehension? I never said they weren’t shiedless! That’s the entire point of my comment. Those bearings are ONLY shieldless due to the fact that they have a special coating on them which prevent normal muck and dirt from ruining the ball bearings. Again, to explain this as simply as possibly: these shieldess bearings are treated with a special lubricant+coating, which allows for the shieldess noise/feel, but also utilized a ball bearing retainer (the greenish plastic/rubber insert which holds the ball ball ratings in position. Again, for the thousandth time, ALL OF THIS MECHANISM IS COATED IN A SPECIAL LUBRICANT which blocks out dirt and debris, allowing these bearings to stay fast without a shield. When some dumbass like you SOAKS IT IN ALCOHOL, you DESTROY THE SPECIAL LUBRICANT, and you BREAK DOWN THE BALL BEARING RETAINER, and thus RUIN AND ABSOLUTELY DESTROY THE BEARINGS

One thing that seems odd is that all that technology they mention about the material and design has no impact on why it is shieldless. I fail to understand why you couldn't use that material and have the deeper groove design and still use a shield. It seems to me that having no shield confers no benefit.

How about doing one on skateboard wheel marketing and if there really is a difference? I remember in the 80s and 90s the companies would say their "thane" was the best because of their special formula. Then around late 80s, Steve Rocco put out a Gizmo ad and basically let everyone know that all the companies were getting their urethane from the same manufacturer, which was Uniroyal. skately.com/library/ads/world-industries-gizmos-wheels-1988

You can pop the sheilds off any bearings and they work fine

Q: What difference does it really make, what brand of skateboard bearings you're putting on your skateboard trucks when you're already running all your axle nuts all loose and sloppy for the maximum amount of roll speed anyways? Hint: ground down axles.. - Axl G. Reese

A lot of weirdos in the comments. Skateboarding is about being your own individual everything isn’t for everyone. That being said I pop my shields on my bearings whether they’re bones reds or bones Swiss as I’m riding now and I soak them in gasoline to remove the oil/lubricant. Never had an issue with bearings seizing or locking up If anything I’m more worried about running my bearings without bearing spacers over being concerned about riding them without shields

This might be an uncomfortable question, but are there any stories of skateboarders' careers being ended by a bail? As a non-skater I hear a lot about how dangerous the sport is.

My best experience by now with bearing is the Bronson G3, Bones Swiss L2 bearing and bones big balls. Andale(swiss , pro rated and abec 7) dont roll for a long time, bones reds are ok because of the price, super reds are not worth the extra money of the reds.
