Any kind of fluid lubricant is going to add some resistance in the form of viscosity, oils have less viscosity than greases but still much more than air of course so dry bearings do operate faster and with less resistance without lubricant; however similar to an engine without oil they will wear faster and heat faster. If you prefer it, maybe try adding a dry lubricant like PTFE or a light spray of silicone, this would not attract dirt. There is truth to the abrasive paste theory presented in the video but this is addressed through cleaning and relubricating which is not needed often thanks to shields. These things exist for a reason, but so does the preference to go without them; personally I love the smooth solid feel of a well greased bearing over the rattling lightweight speed of shieldless or even a traditional oiled bearing; but it’s just a preference, people take it so seriously and it’s silly to be honest. Trust your feet, you know what’s right for you.

Foy is a class act, humble Florida dude. Loves his fishing. Shout out to Foy, the man's man, skater's skater and SOTY.

Do you remember which one it was?

Hey Steve which Jamie Foy DW board did you try that was symmetrical?

Stoked on the Heroin deck, I do like the Eggs but only when they're bigger, 9.125 and up. Smaller eggs feel dinky and are too pointy..

Dammit, missed this one.. Video is looking crisp now! So how's the concave on that deck, mellow? Have you tried bigger than 8.5? I would prefer a symmetrical 8.75 with 14" WB, haven't found one yet though.. I did buy a Heroin symmetrical popsicle 9 with 14,25 WB and razor edge. Should be fun. I currently ride a 8.75 Antihero Clown deck (non symmetrical) with 14.25" WB.

Foy definitely deserved it but Emile Laurent wins SOTY for me, absolutely insane NBDs in Portland, have to have lived and skated there to fully appreciate how gnarly the nbds are in the polar vid.

Late ganggg!!!!

NOOO i missed another one!

Missed this one. Was tidying up and preparing seasoned slow cooker beans with smoked ham hock in beef broth.

Sorry dude, just missed it.

I’m 5’5 200 and a girl, I hate skating with people bc of those things..but this video meant a lot to me thank you

100% true brother ❤

I skate an 8.5 with ace 55 classics. I like ace because it’s a good mix btw Indy and thunders. Height of thunders but skate more like an Indy. Also prefer having a 9 inch truck with an 8.5 to have max amount of stability and truck space for grinds. I try to find boards that have a “full shape” to them like quasi or hockey decks

Real talk.

I've had it for years.....fn sux.😢

Definitely looking into buying a pair of these Slappy trucks. Thanks great vids

Alveer grip best grip.

Dude you try those snot wide boy wheels? I'm curious if they would be sweet for slappages

I swear I thought of Stifler saying S Break!?! Great you got a sesh in for Thanksgiving. That spot sure was loud.

i’m not sure exactly what these people are talking about. My bearings have a shield on one side. That’s the side you mount to the outside of the wheels to keep the dirt out. The inside of the bearings has no shield. You clean them once every six months and love them and they last a long time. Without lubricant you have metal on metal wearing down. they will spin freely without any load on them. (The weight of you on the board skating.) Without lubricant, They will wear down and spin freely, but in a laboratory test, under LOAD, they will not perform as well as they properly maintained cleaned and lubricated bearing. This is why we have science and engineering

Skaters are smarter than mechanical engineers. It’s common sense.

Hi! Great video, I wonder if you use those bearings with spacers or not. My Bronson Raws came to me without them and apparently you can ride without them too. I'm very curious 🎉🎉I'm curious how it looks for you, really respect mate, one of my favorite videos on TH-cam😅

Dude, I don't care what anyone thinks. I loved the bank kickflip. It was clean, it popped. My favorite one to do apart from 360 flip. When you land tricks, security gives you a break. Keep going. Have you ever tried a snow skate? I am in Canada. Snow is inevitable around this time. Good old Zumiez has them in sale for about $90 Canadian. Otherwise known as $20 USD.

I like it Bud......😅 Looks Nice af👍

Hell Yeah Man. Slappy's are the Shit... Just watched a Vid from the 9 Club w Mike Sinclair and another homie they was arguing for the last 20 years😅 Thats Dope you got some Flow Homie🤙🔥

I just got these in the v6 nano for a second setup I’m trying. I was a little thrown off by them not covering the axle like my other set. I have a 54x39mm set that I’m pretty sure is the same wheel but 5mm wider. Powell doesn’t go into much specs on wheels like Spitfire does. But the lock in side feels about the same running my finger over it. So idk if it’s a width thing because the bearings are centered and not offset like the nano cubics? But damn I wish I had that curb near me. NJ is like cursed with shitty curbs or something. All the good curbs are in either high traffic areas or spots you get kicked out of

Ive had my Slappy's for 6 Months...im never going back. They started making Slappy bushings now. They didn't have them when these first came out. These trucks are legit

The answer to madness is thunder trucks 148 they the best

The front nose, Nollie Shuv to fakie was rad. You know I’m going to be trying that one. If you like front nose, I recently learned front nose, 270 pivot out. You land on the back truck and spin 270 to regular. It’s goofy but fun. 👊👍

Slappy trucks are legit just so fucking good.

Are those clearweather shoes?

They need to make a sticker steve statue!!! 🤙

Happy Thanksgiving Steve 🫶

Happy Thanksgiving. Steve got to skate and managed not to fill his pants. That's a win.

Thanks, I will try the windex cleaning and shieldless

💩😷🙈🤣

Never trust a fart

Happy thanksgiving dude!
