When it comes to speed, durability, and true quality in skateboarding, Bones remains the gold standard for millions of skaters around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese aren’t just fast bearings; they’re products specifically designed to withstand the impacts, vibrations, and constant stress of real skateboarding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brand was officially founded in 1991 by the legendary George Powell, founder of Powell Peralta and a key figure in the development of modern skateboarding. After leaving Powell Peralta, Powell decided to create a line of bearings that was completely different from the industry standards of the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe goal was very clear: to produce bearings designed exclusively for skateboarding—faster, more durable, and higher-performing than the classic bearings used up to that point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo develop the Bones Bearings project, George Powell moved to Switzerland, where he began collaborating with some of the best factories specializing in the production of precision bearings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the very beginning, the quality level achieved by Bones was significantly higher than the standards on the market in the early 1990s. The brand introduced new technologies that completely changed the way skate bearings were conceived.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"youtube video-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BONES BEARINGS - How To Clean Your Bearings\" width=\"940\" height=\"529\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/f3CUuW3zAz0?feature=oembed\u0026amp;enablejsapi=1\u0026amp;origin=https:\/\/pleasuresmilano.com\" data-gtm-yt-inspected-10=\"true\" id=\"380998186\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBones Skate-Rated Bearings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the major changes introduced by Bones was the “Skate Rated™” concept—bearings designed specifically for skateboarding, rather than simply adapted from industrial applications. This philosophy allowed Bones to develop bearings capable of withstanding violent impacts, constant vibrations, dirt, dust, and extreme use far better than standard traditional bearings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBones also introduced new high-strength cages, removable shields to facilitate cleaning and maintenance, and above all the legendary Speed Cream™, the lubricant developed in-house by the brand that still today represents one of the most widely used products by skaters to keep bearings fast and smooth over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven today, Bones Bearings remains one of the most important brands in the global skateboarding scene. After over thirty years of continuous development, the brand continues to dominate the market thanks to consistent quality and a product range that has become iconic within the international skate scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/8986\/5796\/files\/bones_bearings_team_rider.webp?v=1778868842\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBones REDS: the world’s most widely used skateboard bearings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen talking about Bones Bearings, it’s impossible not to start with the legendary Bones REDS. For countless skaters, they still represent the best possible balance between speed, durability, reliability, and price. It’s no coincidence that REDS have become the world’s best-selling and most widely used skateboard bearings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBones REDS are manufactured to Skate Rated™ specifications developed directly by Bones for real-world skateboarding. This means tighter tolerances, carefully selected materials, and a construction designed to withstand constant impacts, hard landings, and daily sessions without losing speed too quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the reasons REDS have become so popular is their incredible versatility. They perform perfectly in street, park, bowl, ramps, and even cruiser setups. Smoothness is immediate from the very first push, and the overall feel remains fluid even after countless sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured in one of the best factories specializing in skate bearings, Bones REDS have become the absolute benchmark over the years for anyone seeking a reliable bearing without breaking the bank. Even today, countless pro skaters continue to use them daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/8986\/5796\/files\/bone_sbearings_reds.webp?v=1778868842\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBones REDS Big Balls: More Speed and Durability\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBones REDS Big Balls represent the direct evolution of the classic REDS. The main difference lies in the use of balls that are 17% larger, a technical solution that completely changes the bearing’s performance during the ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe larger balls allow for increased speed, acceleration, and overall smoothness, while also improving resistance against dirt, dust, and wear. This configuration also enables more stable rotation and less energy loss during pushes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBig Balls are particularly popular among skaters seeking high speeds in bowls, transitions, pools, and fast ramps. The feel underfoot is much smoother than with traditional REDS, and the overall sensation closely resembles that of even higher-end bearings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite their superior performance, REDS Big Balls maintain an extremely competitive price-to-performance ratio. For many skaters, they represent one of the best possible upgrades to immediately improve the speed of their setup without having to switch to much more expensive professional models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/8986\/5796\/files\/bones_bearings_big_balls.webp?v=1778868842\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBones Super REDS: superior performance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBones Super REDS are designed for all skaters who want even higher performance than classic REDS. While maintaining the Skate Rated™ philosophy, Super REDS utilize superior materials, finishes, and manufacturing processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe steel used is of higher quality, the internal tolerances are even more precise, and the overall smoothness is immediately faster and more fluid. The quietness during the ride is also significantly better, especially after many intense sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Super REDS are designed for those who skate seriously every day and want a bearing capable of maintaining high performance over time. Technical street, gaps, fast bowls, modern parks, and aggressive transitions: these bearings deliver consistent speed and excellent control in virtually any situation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEasy to disassemble, clean, and lubricate with Speed Cream™, Super REDS are still considered by many skaters to be among the best bearings ever produced by Bones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/8986\/5796\/files\/bones_bearings_super_reds.webp?v=1778868843\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBones Brigade: the team that changed skateboarding forever\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen discussing the history of Bones Wheels and Powell Peralta, it’s impossible not to mention the legendary Bones Brigade. We’re not just talking about a skate team, but likely the most influential and important squad ever to exist in the history of global skateboarding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bones Brigade was founded in the early 1980s under the leadership of George Powell and Stacy Peralta, quickly becoming the ultimate symbol of skateboarding progression during that era. At a time when skateboarding was rapidly evolving through vert, pool skating, and the birth of modern street skating, the Bones team managed to raise the technical bar to a level the world had never seen before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bones Brigade included some of the most important names in skateboarding history, such as Tony Hawk, Rodney Mullen, Steve Caballero, Lance Mountain, Mike McGill, Tommy Guerrero, and Nicky Guerrero. Each of these skaters helped revolutionize completely different disciplines, creating tricks, styles, and approaches that still influence modern skateboarding today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRodney Mullen practically invented modern street freestyle and the technical foundation for countless flip tricks still used today. Tony Hawk revolutionized vert skating, becoming the most famous rider on the planet. Steve Caballero, Lance Mountain, and Mike McGill, on the other hand, defined the evolution of ramp and pool skating throughout the 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt that time, Bones Wheels were already considered among the highest-performing wheels in the world, and the team continuously contributed to the development of new shapes, compounds, and increasingly advanced setups. Historic models like the Mini Rats, G-Bones, and T-Bones became iconic thanks to the Bones Brigade riders and the Powell Peralta videos that shaped entire generations of skaters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven today, the Bones Brigade is considered the most important team ever to exist in skateboarding.
