Changing My Bearings

Changing My Bearings

I picked up a cheap little skateboard to cruise around the other day while on a trip. It was fun and definitely served the purpose but it seemed a bit slow and mushy. It almost felt like I was riding underwater.

When I got it home I compared it to an old board I had laying around with some Bones Reds bearings. Wow! The difference was amazing. Them Bones spin forever and the new ones on the board I bought stopped within a few seconds.

Is there an existential moral to this story? Maybe if something you are doing isn’t progressing fast as you think it should try changing your bearing? Or how about it’s almost always better to build a board and pick your parts rather than taking whatever some company wants to give you all in one off-the-shelf.

Whatever the case I put my good bearings in some fat wheels and threw them on a good board and am going for a cruise! Have fun! Later!!!
