Q&A: Going Downhill with David Rogers (858 Posts) Topic Info Any old bearing On 12/14/2006 David Rogers wrote in from United States  (66.14.nnn.nnn) Don, No secrets here. I'm really not sure what bearings are in my boards at the moment. The shields are so dirty that I can't tell the brand. I like the Pleasure Tool sealed abec3's for everyday use. I have never raced on ceramics. I think I own a set of Ninja Ceramics, but I'm not sure where they are at the moment. I used to buy a fresh set of Bones reds or some cheap ABEC3's before races. I used to think that the "looser" ABEC3's and Bones bearings were faster than "tight" ABEC7's. Bearings really don't make a difference to me. Biltin's are easy to use and just as fast as the rest. I like bearings that are under $10 a set.     Rate post 262505 !

They look and feel sturdier than the hang-glider lids, and the B95 testing is similiar to what the Snell motorsports rated helmets go thru. Seems like a B95 /tested/rated helmet might be a safer bet than DOT, since DOT does not require any testing.     Rate post 262504 !

But why are you so bent on no one knowing what they are? I do understand it doesnt make a difference (I really do), but it adds 'tight lip' 'eye squinting' question of still....what they are. Steering away from the bearings, and more towards the obvious. Thats cool. I would guess either custom ceramic Biltins, Oust, or something along those lines anyway. Goodluck next year!

You should spend your time and money on things that make a difference. Work on your tuck first. Custom leathers and a small helmet will make way more difference than any wheel, bearing or truck change.     Rate post 262492 !

How much would you sell it for?     Rate post 262334 !

I'm stoked to still be involved in the downhill scene. WHY?....We all know what Rick says about STANDUP!!!!!!!!1 Thanks to Mr.Caften and Mr.Brooke for thinking we are worthy subjects and keeping us out of trouble with the questions. Kludy and DC...I'm up for some testing and tucking. Let's see if we can rally some of the troops. If GMR is still closed, we might have a tough time pulling the GMR Boyz away from their favorite hill. How about the SD Boyz?....Sawyer, Justin?     Rate post 262006 !
