Bearings are not bearings.
Well they are if you skate street and dont usually need allotta speed.
But if you skate park or trannie you need a good long lasting bearings that stays fast.
Enter viscous bearings.
When I first saw these released I thought theyed be trash, mainly due to the fact they were released by a skater owned company and not someone like swiss or bones.
I was wrong.

First impressions….
As soon as I took these out of their box I could tell they were high quality, they didnt have any give and didnt rattle when I spun them in my hand.
They seemed really solid and chunky and fluro green and black look kewl.

On the roll…..
Tested them on a cement bowl and I had too much speed, which isnt a bad thing, its a good thing but I kept landing on the flat airing things like a spine.
then I tested them sessioning a ledge with dirt landing. After two hours of skating through dirt they never felt like thy slowed up.

Final Thoughts…..

ive had trhese for three weeks and they still dont ned a clean.
All Bearings are not all the same, these abec 7’s are great quality, super fast and super strong and best of all value for money.
If you have a choice get these and support a roller owned company!

I’ve taken your advice and finally bought some Vicious ABEC7 bearings (the fluro green ones). All I can say is WOW!
They’re amazing, fast, spin endless and need minimal maintenance. They’re normally priced compared to other bearing brands but these are worth your money for sure!
