for me, it's almost a toss up between the original bones swiss bearings and the bones super swiss six bearings. in general, i _think_ i like the super swiss sixes a little better. i feel that the super swiss sixes are a little more durable but maybe need to be cleaned more often. also, i feel that the original swiss bearings don't fall apart during cleaning as easily as the super swiss sixes, but their cages are harder to reinstall. in general, i guess the _original_ bones swiss bearings are the industry's gold standard for bearings, but i won't be surprised if the bones super swiss sixes someday replace them. then again, it's so hard to get the skateboarding community off of plain seven ply and onto the better, engineered materials like powerlyte and p2, huh?
i refuse to buy chinese made bearings because china is a country that has horrible labour practices, horrible business practices, and horrible foreign policies. cheap prices hardly come close to make up for those evils. even though many kids swear by bones reds; experienced skateboarders that really care about bearings can tell you that bones reds aren't much better than all the other cheap, chinese bearings; so i refuse to buy them and really only buy swiss bearings although i would be okay with buying american or japanese bearings too.Get more detail about Bones Original Swiss Competition Skate Bearings.
