Yellow Jacket Premium Skateboard Bearings, Pro Longboard Bearings, 608, ABEC 9, Jungle Green (Pack of 8)

I own a Magneto Mini cruiser skateboard and the bearings on there are good, however they did feel a bit slower for my taste. I wanted to achieve higher speeds while skateboarding and a friend of mine who also owns YellowJackets referred them to me. I purchased them and easily replaced the bearings on my board and was astonished on how big a difference they made; the wheels spin for so much longer now and I have been able to go so much faster with them on. It has been a bit over a month and I have had no problems with the bearings. If anything, my board feels as fast as it did when I first installed them.

These things are awesome. I skated for years, stopped for even more years, and now started up again and needed to find the best bearings I could for a non-astronomical price. However, I was out of the loop and unfamilair with the many, many bearings options. I researched the hell out of them for days and Yellow Jackets hit almost every top list. They aren't super expensive but they perform well. Smooth, fast, and reliable. And they have a cool aesthetic with the bright colors and wasp logo.And, as other reviews have stated, the company is top notch. I had some questions about the bearings and just kind of emailed the company to ask. The owner himself replied and was super friendly and helpful and got me sorted out right away.You can't go wrong with these. If you're like me and you're agonizing over all the brands and prices and don't know what to do, rest assured you can skate these. You'll love them.

had a small side project and these little things were perfect for what i needed them for

We got our 10 yr old daughter a retrospec longboard and decided to upgrade the bearings. These were cheap and just the right amount of speed.

My son got a cheap skateboard and the bearings were garbage and these did the trick for making the wheels spin faster and easy to install.

The media could not be loaded. I saw a ton of reviews and lists stating a long lists of pros for these bearings with the only downside being the company is really new. I decided to give them a try and I am pretty impressed. I work in a warehouse with dust that will trash reds in a week. I have skated these in and out of my warehouse daily for over a week and even had to in the rain one day. These were SILENT when I first got them and I am pretty sure a quick clean or even a wipe down with some lube will get rid of the microscopic amount of noise you can only hear when you spin the wheel like I do hear. I paid 18 bucks for the jungle green stripes set with spacers and speed rings but I might get some stingers later on to see if there is any difference.

One didn't spin correctly, they sent me a new package right away.

The media could not be loaded. Easy to install, good instructions. Thank you

Muy buenos rodamientos. Los recomiendo mucho

Before I ordered these bearings, I ordered some Heady Shake Titaniums which cost 60% more. After using them in my scooter they were the best bearings ever. Now that I have been using the Yellow Jackets for a while, I consider them just as good as the Heady Shake but their cost is amazing. I was able to exceed 5 minute spins on both wheels of my scooter with these amazing bearings. I look forward to comparing their longevity with the more expensive Heady Shakes. This is a You Tube video of these bearings spinning over 8 minutes: https://youtu.be/N5LmjjrGo_k

i mostly skate mini ramp and transition parks so i do alot of pumping and i definitely feel like these perform noticeably better than the stock reds.Would've given a 5star review if they threw a sticker in the tin :P(so basically a 5star review)

Work fine and not that expensive.

Works well. A couple of the bearings aren't very fluid out of the box. Will monitor to see if it is a matter of the lubricant being moved around.
