Riff Raff... err uhh, Levi is here to talk about Bones bearings. So put on your learning cap, and buckle up to learn a thing or two about Bones Bearings! We understand that bearings can be a bit confusing at times. In this video you'll learn about the history of Bones bearings, the different types of Bones bearings available, and how to choose the right bearing for you.
To learn more about Bones bearings, you can go to shop.shredzshop... - กีฬา
We’re talking Toblerone! 😂😂😂 The most precise of chocolate bars.
How you think they get that nougat infused into the chocolate?! - precision
Chocolate with 6 balls
Ghana = coco = swiss = toblerone.
Kevin federline is still alive? And why is he telling me about bearings and the pro cessss involved in making them?
I can’t take him serious with them rolls lol
So you call em “corn rolls”? LMAO
When I was skating in the early 2000s and you had bones Swiss you def had rich parents.
hahah truth
Aren’t they like $60 bucks? Y’all overreacting.
Undisputed Attitude sorry 12 year old me didn’t have $60 or parents who would give you $60 for bearings when you could get a working pair for $10
@@GKNW a pair? No wonder they were only ten dollars.....that's only two bearings ;) haha
60$ in 2000 is equivalent to 85$ today,so ,yes that was pretty pricey then and today!
When I was growing up, Bones Swiss were legendary. I don’t skate much anymore, but I definitely have them now that I can afford them lol
They're still the bearings every other company compares their bearings to...
They’re trash 🗑
"If you ballin', get 'em!!"
Got a set of OG Bones Swiss. Been having them for about 7 months now and they skate and run real smooth. Cleaned and put speed cream on them and they run the same as the day i put them in. Really great bearings
I'm skating 12 year old Bones swiss that I clean and lube once every two years. I'm 48 and have had my experiences. You get what you pay for.
They're great bearings!
Same. I have a set of Swiss6 I got in 2012 and I only cleaned and relubed once in like 2021 and they still run super smooth.
For a sec i thought i was watching Trailer Park Boys! Good job on the video btw. So much info.
Bones Swiss 6 are where it’s at if you are undecided between them, regular Swiss, or labyrinth. I’ve heard lots of reviews that the bones reds big balls don’t live up to the hype. Mini logo beatings also perform as well as reds, and are $10. Mini logo used to have different shields, and a non nylon race, but the new ones are literally as good as reds. Basically, if you have $60, get Swiss 6, and if you are broke get mini logo.
My bones big balls kept breaking cages
isnt mini logo also owned by powell ?
@@Anthony-uz5tj yes they are, and I’ve had just as good of luck with mini logos as with bones reds. I’m still skating the bones Swiss 6 that I was talking about here
@@kylemartinpaintings i had a pair of swiss for a long time too then they got stolen my whole board did and i didnt have money to replace it so i stopped skating for years i just finally got a new deck yesterday gotta save up for new set of swiss now
@@Anthony-uz5tj that sucks I’ve had a couple boards jacked
The Swiss.... Most precise holes in the cheese biz.
This is awesome man, I wonder why nobody did this like 5 years ago
Toblerone 😂😂 bones swiss actually cost more here in Switzerland than in the USA...
That’s fucked lol, they prolly ship em here...and then ship em back over there lol🤘😈🔥
no it’s not costing more it’s just how price conversion works
dang
I don’t know what it is with reds I remember they were pretty good when I started to skate now they would only last me 3 month maybe it’s because I was a beginner
this was honestly perfect
bro take them damn braids out😂
bro you dont like riff raff?! XD XD
Nahh
Yo! Absolutely love this series!! You guys should do one of these on Bronson!!
used to love skating roads at like 4 in the morning when no one was around and oakland i swear was the one place you still had people about XD. plus gotta say bones red big balls are probably my favourite middle ground. not too super pricey like the ceramics (course if you got the cash get em) but still last LONG. plus you get to say your bearings have big balls and who doesnt love that.
yea but as soon as you dismember one whenever its cleaning time the ball cage breaks easily and it sucks cuz you would not have any extra ball cages and thats the downfall of the bearing in particular its a good bearing dont get me wrong but the ball cages can get reinforced while in production thats the only problem i have with big balls
I’ve got the cheaper Bronsons and they are tha shiznit🔥 really impressed with how fast they are
ive had many bearings but back in the day when i was 16 we use to just get cheap NMB bearings they were like £1 each. but then i got Bones Swiss and thought they were good but i didnt notice or remember me thinking wow these are soooo fast or smooth idk, i never looked after them or cleaned them for many years and i hadnt been on my board for a long time and i went to ride it and most bearings had rust in i could feel and didnt run smooth, so i got new bronson G3s they were sick and smooth and even my friend asked what bearings i got when he rode my board. then like 2-3 months later of skating once a week, i do a 180 over a flat bar rail and balls popped out of one bearing. the others are fine, but i did take the shields off both sides because i wanted to be a cool OG and have people hear me coming lol Mark Appleyard
u remind me of jay from jay and slient bob lol nice vid
Can I use one big ball and one reds bearing on the same wheel? I recently lost a big ball bearing and I don't feel like replacing the whole set.
ok, that was the greatest intro to a video I've ever seen.
I heard the ceramic bearings are for longboards and their down hill speeds, the ceramic just takes the heat better from the long downhill runs. Also ceramic bearings can't withstand drop impacts as well as other bearings. I like the labyrinth or the 6balls for park and street sk8ing.
Wrong. There are two types of ceramic balls - white (zirkonium oxyde) and grey (silicone nitrite), grey are twice as strong as white, whites are 1.6x stronger than steel. They are lightweight, lower friction resistance, high temperature resistance, higher rigidity, higher hardness, have smoother surface, and higher corrosion resistant. Problem is, if you do drops, you still can damage both types, and steel are simply cheaper to replace. Just don't take steel if your life depends on it. I think bones are overpriced exactly to the pain point, where people would go ceramics instead, but slightly lower. They are handsdown one of the better bearings, but mostly due to lower friction.
@@HECKAKYH-ADEKBATEH Materials Engineering student here. Ceramic is harder than steel and therefore more resistant to scratching. They will last longer. BUT, ceramic is more fragile than steel ands has lower tenacity. Therefore they are weaker against impacts. So the recommendation above is accurate, if you want the absolute best, get ceramic ball bearings for longboarding and steel ball bearings for skating. If you have a lot of money though use ceramic bearings and replace them regularly.
@@TomasLomba I want to question something that you posted - the durability aspect specifically for skateboarding (tricks). I am a 290 lbs guy, who also uses indestructable Capsule deck with all-terrain wheels (86 mindless sucka). I used different steel bearings and they all start to make noise and increase resistance between 1 and 3 months. And I do cleaned and lubricated those, sometimes full cleaning doesnt fix anything and they continue to degrade. But I have never experienced resistance and noise increase with ceramics, they roll and make noise the same way how they rolled a year ago.
What I assume is - skateboarding is a dusty and low-rpm workload. Some testers forget this. Plus they sometimes also falsely assume ceramic to be immortal - that is clearly false, I expect both to EOL at some point. But the gradual degrade of races with ceramics balls due to the abrasion simply doesn't seem to be any factor under this workload. First factors seem to be the damage resistance, dust and moisture under low rpm. We are not doing thousands of kilometers at high speeds either. By the time ceramic variant starts to get minor race abrasion and instability from dents in races, steel bearings are long dead, as the dust combined with forces introduces dents and scratches into both steel balls and races. I think ceramic dents in races are not as fatal as the dents in the steel balls that add to non-uniformity plus increase the scratching of race. Plus ceramic balls are much more accurate in shape, so they always distribute the forces and compensate for damage better. Probably also the reason why they have a much lesser roll resistance when loaded (under human body weight).
Price isn't a factor, 8 set of SiNi ceramics costs already around $50, same set of very high quality steel is $40. Nearly same.
Only downside I found in ceramics is that they are definitely not for "riders" that spend most of the time smashing their board against the wall. Here steel balls will be a cheaper mutilation material. Also I have never done jumps from 1+ meters or higher, I still need my knee joints.
I will be happy to also hear your experiences with both types.
Best
@@HECKAKYH-ADEKBATEH The thing is that there are many different kinds of wear and deformation a material can sustain. Therefore you can never say one material is better than others (when comparing steel and ceramic for instance) because it always boils to pros and cons. Ceramic ball will be more precise in shape generally since sintering is a more precise manufacturing process. But the same kind of perfection can be achieved through powder alloys of steel at roughly the same price. Again, steel is tougher, ceramic is harder. Steel will show surface wear, dents and deformation much earlier. But also will cope with impacts much better. (to talk about numbers we would need to know the specific alloys). In a high impact situation, steel will deform but ceramic will brake or crack. As a last thought, one can never truly know the quality of steel used in ball bearings because we do not know the specific alloys used.
As a side note, bearings use grease, not oil so be careful to keep that in mind because improper lubrication of bearings results in loads of damage really fast.
@@TomasLomba I think the problem here is that you dont skateboard or didnt try highest grade steel bearing and ceramic bearing, maybe. If so I can highly recommend to try. There is quite large difference in roll resistance, noise and durability, not that much difference in price. The ceramic variant needs some practice to get used to as it generally tends to make board .. roll by itself, sometimes from under the feet. But its is addictive, effortless.
Skateboard bearings use either pure fine oil or a mixture of oil with a fraction of lithium or lithium graphite greese. The low roll resistance is very high priority. Some bearings are even shieldless (bronson raw) - but I think its not smart. I never heard of cracking/crushing Si4N3 ball, I think only races take damage. No manufacturer uses pure greese, the resistence it introduces kills all the fun. :)
Great video but the third time I've heard Levi say, "Powell N Peralta". What is the "N" for? It doesn't exist.
I remember when I had my G&S Nicky Guerrero board I had the ABEC7 Bearing's and they were 🔥 in the 80's......
Very, very, very educational speech for the new generation. 😄 I laughed and laughed.
Seriously my favorite skateboard series ever!!!
"None of your business"...I like that!!!
It's so much fun to go back in time and see how you've found your voice! Love your channel, dude.
Loosing the cops line was so good! Great video, thanks!
What do you think about the bones swiss ceramic ? They cost like $150 from Amazon …. Do you know if they come with labyrinth bearing ? Or is that only for the labyrinth models ?
Chad Muska vibes what a legend
😹😹😹
What’s the difference with the bones red bearings with the normal package between the one with circle and dragon logo on it?
Im ready to watch
Bro that was a legit class. U just took me to skool.😂
Should i get Classic Bones Swiss or Bones Super Red China? Same price. Which are better?
Idk
Been waiting on days for this video
this is quality content
Great stuff. GREAT video!!!
just dropped $160 on Bones swiss ceramics and i can't wait to try em' out tomorrow .. I'm currently rolling on a set of classic Bones swiss (steel) and they seriously rule! (Bones Swiss are definitely recommended) but i am super curious to feel the difference with the swiss ceramics
I personally feel like bearings are the most important part of the skateboard .. go faster!
What's the comparison like? Worth it?
Which is better, the labyrinth or the six balls??????
I got these, swiss ones, cus it was mo convenient than the Mando GMN's if yer from the 80's
Can u put these bearings inline skates?
yep!
ya
go with reds my dude
For £150 a skate.... I wouldn't bother with the ceramics unless I was a sponsored skater 😹 good old reds are fine 😋
Size? And friction differentials?
JROC baby! Paaaayce! boiiiiiiiiii
How do bronson ceramics compare to bones swiss ceramics
I got my first 6 balls bearing from China for a relatively cheap price compared to Swiss 6 balls.
Bones super reds work just fine, i just picked up a set of precision big balls
This was great. I subscribed in the first 2 minutes
I've got Reds ceramics. They're the best
I got reg Redz
Love this
I am still wondering if the bearing size should not change to bigger bearing holes in the wheels an just make the bearing so big you wont even need a spacer 2 time bigger balls inside
Just larger bearings
I guess they do studies or maby we are stuck in a standerd
Not to many of us Levis yo.. hits the ear when someone says my name.
I like the more laidback style where he gets to goof around
You have some videos about alien workshop or satori movement?
We have a Alien workshop one, nothing on Satori yet though
@@ShredzShop yeah! I gonna looking for that video
Any spare bearings lying around for an african longboarder trying to beat Bronsons G3's ?
Cornrows and a sleeveless jean jacket??? I give homeboy credit, he goes hard lol
$200 for them Bones Swiss here in Australia no kidding and I still brought them😂 almost eaten shit to the pavement twice bombing hills I swear my life has flashed before my eyes
sick mate!
What I wanna know is how they make them so EXPENSIVE
crisp films by using quality components(with a trusted brand name)
Bones Reds are $20 and they’re a pretty good bearing. Redz and Big Ballz are $40 which is pretty good price. Then Bones Swiss are $70 which is appropriate for the engineering of them. As long as you clean the bearings they can last a long time. Bearings and truck bushings are two important things to take care of. :)
@@memorysometimers3067 I get big balls or $25 of amazon.
@@AshleyOnYT hey man just letting you know that Amazon ain't trustable to get legit product
Any bearings in the Swiss line will last years if you clean them. Plus, you are going to get a smoother ride, and you are going to go a little faster. Reds always lock up, and I’ve heard that the reds big balls aren’t much better than regular reds
That outro reminded me of Homeboy Shopping Network from In Living Color 😂😂😂
Thx brozay im finna drop these red ceramics in ASAP!! Nice vid
🔥👊🏻🔥
loved the: "ABEC rating dont mean durability or how long they gonna last"
I was like what?" john travolta meme on pulp fuction "
ABEC doesn't touch metal quality and roll resistance.
Since when does Gin Rummy run a skate shop?
Whats the difference of normal REDS and racer REDS?
Appreciate the information but I don't like it when the music track is much louder than the vocal track.
Oh yeah been wanting to watch this..
what do you think of bones swiss ceramics?
They're the top bearings on the market and the bearing by which every other bearing is measured. That being said, I ride regular Swiss. I don't think you get THAT much extra for a lot of extra price on them. But Swiss are amazing and a little more affordable.
These also used to be called “China bones” back when I first started. Pictures of them are on google.
Reds did cause they were made in China, but Bones Swiss were always Swiss made
Hype level maximum
One thing to note about cermaics, if the balls get busted, you can't rollout with them, steel balls don't get compromised. ceramics are all about the right tool for the right job, if you don't know why you need them, you don't need them.
Are reds decent enough.
I have modus and they just don't do it.
Reds are good, honestly for the small extra cost, I'd do big balls.
He should have added the Bones Red Race bearings to the list! I own the Redz Race, original Redz, and the original Swiss bearings. I tested each one in the same wheels, and for a little cheaper than the original Swiss, the Redz RACE bearings are just as good in a speed test. I think it is because with the Redz Race, bearing spacers and washers are already manufactured in the bearing itself. I cannot say though which bearing is best in the long run over time. I am guessing the original Swiss probably last longer.
The Super Reds and the Race Reds are the same bearings minus the built in spacers.
This one was gold
Good video but musics way to loud
noted!
Big balls or super reds ? Thank for answer
I usually say Big Balls, Super reds are more expensive and usually at that price point people do Bronson G3. That's my honest answer! Riding Bill Balls right now and enjoying them!
@@ShredzShop thanks men
Great information
Wow I'm really glad that this Peter Smolek midlife crisis phase Levi was in during this video was short lived.
What beat is this song from again?
#1 The Bones Big Balls are phenomenal for the price and #2 Use SPACERS and your bearings will last much much longer. It will take away the side pressure which is what breaks them
I picked up a set of the bones ceramics today, I can’t believe I dropped 160 bucks for them, hopefully I get more range with my all terrain off road tires.
just copped my 1st set of Bones Swiss Ceramics the other day and i can't believe i dropped $160!! but i always wanted em' .. will be setting them up tomorrow.. too stoked!
Don't forget Reds Big Balls. Reds take on Bones Swiss Six.
you should one on creature
"..back before y'all were conceived.." 🤣 🤣 🤣
I’m fucking with my boy swag
BALLS!
Do reds come with spacers?
they don’t.
Bruh the ending killed me 😂😂😂
I can't tell if this guy is playing it up or not cuz this us freaking hallarias
Big Riff Raff fan
@@ShredzShop and this is why I should google crap before I say stuff
Levi chill bro
Isn't the durability the same as how long they are going to last!? 😅😅
I use regular reds with the black box
Bones Swiss are the only real skateboard bearings
fucking timzones.... reminding myself to come back to watch a video that isnt out yet.
I remember my Reds were rated ABEC Faster
Ayo, bro had the dreads on point back then 😂
This dude reminds me of mac from its always sunny
😂😭
Bones Swiss bearings shields removed and soaked in gasoline to remove the oil. Let them dry pop them in and spin. Shits 🔥
MMMM.....YES
The tune is soooo annoying
