Yes! Review by Anthony

Big fan of this design. Axle washers are an outdated fix to an issue and don't really help. You still have to back off the nut and leave some wiggle room. Not with these. Just crank them down and go. I run these in 2 of my boards and stoked on them.
I have not tried them on my street setup yet but for my DIY park board with Bones Rough Rider wheels and my bowl board with G Bones they are awesome. I made a board setup video on my youtube channel using these bearings and most of the comments to that video were about the bearings.

Race reds = fast reds Review by Jeremiah

Bones have done it again. When it comes to bearings nothing lasts like these Race Reds. It might even take you half a day to get used to how fast these are... (Posted on 4/13/2020)

No Adjustment Review by Anthony

Rating

I made a video setting board with completely different components to creat a hybrid street cruiser / park capable board that I could ride anywhere and still get some tricks. These bearings went into a set of G Slides on Grind King's onto a shaped board. In the video I show and explain the design of the bearings and how it eliminates the need for adjustment when tightenjng down the wheel on the trucks. You just make it tight and the bearings allow for the wheel to spin freely without backing off the nut. I like the design.
The video did really well. A lot of people like myself had never seen the bearings even through have been out for a while. They are the right combo with the G Slides a smooth ride on any surface and they work well with the solid core of the G Slides. (Posted on 4/9/2020)

Less play same speed. Go-to for park too Review by Chester

I have skateboarded for 35 years, the best bearings manufacturer I have found is bones, I liked superreds best but now I like these race even better. Less play same speed. I swap wheels a lot based on what I am skating(skatepark to cruising) and these make it quicker(don't have to keep track of washers) . easy to set up, no washer or spacer, easy to change out wheels, you can tighten the nut a bit more and it still spins great w less play. Not just for longboards, the built in spacer is smart.

Go w these, don't get em wet, keep the shield on em, clean n lube once in a while, and they will last for years.

BTW tried Bronson, don't believe the hype. Not as durable as bones. Buy from reputable dealer to avoid fakes. (Posted on 8/27/2019)

If you're not using these then what are you doing? Review by Encourage Skateboarding

I got these and right out of the box they are the fastest bearings ever; I've been skating for a very long time and have run through all types of bearings out there. These are it, right here. They are worth the price. No spacers, no washers, jam them in your wheels and hang on. (Posted on 1/8/2019)
