my favorite bearings ever

These bearings are excellent for those who really like to skate a lot. They just keep going and last longer than all others if you keep them maintained properly. Black panthers are my all time favorite bearings!
Pros: smooth ride, durable, long lasting, great speed, good quality, stays clean a long time

They are very quiet and hold a constant speed for lines etc...
Less pushing gives more speed on these bearings than Reds.
Fast and smooth overall good bearings.

Definitely worth the money. It is really smooth, durable, easy to clean, and just five star. I would personally recommend these bearings for skaters that likes bowls because it holds up with the speed really well. If you're looking for great, durable bearings within your tight budget these are perfect.
Pros: smooth ride, durable, stays clean a long time

as these bearings may not be as good as any of the bones swiss bearings, they are good bearings for their price, they ride smooth & stay clean for a good amount of time. they also have a "just right" speed to them.
Pros: smooth ride, durable, long lasting, stays clean a long time
Cons: takes a little while to break them in

I love these everything about these bearings as soon as I put them in my ricta pro wheels they fit like a charm. They roll virtually silent and just keep going. I wouldn't recommend them to brand new skaters who can't keep their boards under them though, your board will fly away with these.
Pros: smooth ride, great speed, stays clean a long time

they're not too fast but can hold speed for a long time.
really good for tranny and bowl. i don't skate street so i can't say how good they'll be. i'd expect them to lock if you're dropping off stuff too much but yeah, can't say.
mine got dirty because my board went in water. they still feel good though.

Not the smoothest bearings in the world they claim to be, but a decent bearing for the price. They didn't last longer than 2 sets of wheels for me.
A better choice would be Bones Reds for price and I'd say go w/ Bones Swiss overall as they are the best bearings in the world for just a little bit more than these and last 5 times longer or more.

If you skate street and do a lot of sets DO NOT get these bearings. The ceramic ball bearings will shatter. I would highly recommend these bearings for any longboarders/pool skaters or new skaters that will not be doing anything too big.
Pros: long lasting, great speed

i got these bearings recently and theyre just great. they arent loud or squeaky. Without even working them in i was pretty freakin fast. the only thing is theyre rubber outsides so you shud use the washers you get with the package. you should really get them!
