props albert.
and indeed..screw the haters.
likr the brand name and the connotations involved.. clever marketing and if the thread you produce are anything as good as the branding for these bearings your on to a winner.
As for bones bearings and crap ect..there built for skateboarders, i.e not doing huge gaps ect all the time.
they dont last long.
I murder bearings like slaughter houses murder cattle amd there no different.
why pay 40 quid for something that wont last.
Fair enough if your someone who sticks to the small stuff but that aint for me.

I don’t give a fuck what you think, I’m just trying to survive so I can keep doing what I love to do. I know there isn’t anything new or special about these bearings. There just abec 7′s, fast, solid, durable bearings that, in my opinion, are the best type of bearings for street skating. I’ve only had the privilige of skating bones bearings once. That was when I was a kid and I could barely afford them because they were so expensive. But I decided to splash out and try them anyway. After skating them I thought the speed and smoothness was incredible but they didnt last long enough for the money I paid.

This was one of the reasons we chose this bearing. We are only starting out and would love to have the money to make bones bearings but they are too expensive and I’m in college so I don’t even have a job. We’ve been making wheels and clothes for a while now so we thought it would be a good idea to make bearings for our wheels.

These bearings are just as good as any other bearing that I’ve skated from my other sponsors and there a reasonable price so that kids can afford them. Support us if you want to, don’t complain if you don’t, were just trying to support blading.

I don’t really buy into the whole sense of community in rollerblading. I’m 25 and have myself a job and a g.f and just more important things in life to worry about.
That doesn’t mean, however, that I don’t recognize the importance of a close community and mutual support between skaters to keep the scene not just alive but thriving.
When people come on here with the name sheep and shoot every supporter down for being blinded by lies it saddens me to even consider that person believes what they’re saying is true. When you go to an event and talk to skaters and skate with them and get on with them, you feel part of something special or important. To me, that isn’t brain washing, that’s people coming together and being sociable and positive, there are some dick heads out there that just want to be the best and one-up other skaters or that won’t bother with certain people based on the way they dress but overall it is a positive scene.
I’m not being funny but I would never put my money into skateboarding, I’d by a neutrally owned brand if it was cheaper than a rollerblading owned brand but met the same standards but never would I put my money into skateboarding.
Firstly skateboarding has more than enough money to go round, secondly, I put money into their industry because I’ve been skating for 10 years and I remember when I was a grom and got ripped on for blading and everywhere I turned skateboarders were mocking and belittling inline skating for no apparent reason.
I was around when skateboarding videos came out with an aggressive street dancing section, I was around when Arlo took the challenge of standing up for inline in a skateboard mag and, as honorable as his efforts were, they got to mock us publicly in print. I was around when people would say shit behind my back at parks and when I turned around they always have a skateboard.
Well now I’m older and bigger and the skateboarders still give me looks and have an attitude, the only difference is they don’t say anything but I wonder if the same can be said for the smaller younger skaters out there.

I know this is really long-winded and I never meant it to be but when people come on here and say that the rollerblading community is a facade created by money hungry sly people to exploit the weak-willed then I get more than a little annoyed. I skate with some boarders from time to time who aren’t pricks and we get on nicely but I will never buy skateboard company owned products when there’s a fragile inline community that has survived in the face of adversity for over 15 years that needs every rollerblader to show some kind of support, that doesn’t necessarily mean spending money either, at the very least a positive attitude will do.
If you did manage to read all this just remember that this insight came from a person that isn’t even closely tied into the inline community, I do my own thing more or less and even I can recognize the importance of skater-owned companies, boarders knew this in the 70′s and 80′s and look how strong their industry is today.

Some people care about the state or inline and some don’t. For god sake don’t belittle those who have faith.

@ Sheep: Seriously, I rarely hear that term used outside of discussions about conspiracys…please, stop trolling.

The bearings Looks sick though and it does matter who founded it because if it’s skater owned, the moneys coming back into our industry, which is great and if they do start producing better bearings over the years, it’s money well spent, stop being pissimistic, if people are producing good products it’s better for rollerblading as a whole.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Another stupid rollerblading company of a gimmick.

-”FIX bearings was founded by Albert Hooi just over a year ago.”
Who cares? It wouldn’t have mattered if Sagona founded it. Or Shima. Or Elliot. Or Stockwell. Skater founding companies doesn’t mean shit to me in terms of quality or leadership.

-”We have been testing bearings for that whole time until we had an ABEC 7 capable of withstanding the needs of our team.”
Woopee. Every other bearing that is Aec-7 can withstand a lot of other skaters’ needs too. Anyway, the Abec rating doesn’t mean shit in the skating world. And more importantly, I (a skater), don’t even use or base my bearing usage decision on any Abec rating. I, instead, skate SKATE RATED and SKATE SPECIFIC bearings. See Crap, Bones, or Rock ‘N Rons to see what a true skate bearing is.

-”We are proud to introduce the first FIX team bearingâ€¦. We hope you like them as much as we do..”
Yes, you definitely hope so because you didn’t spend any effort in making your bearings any better than the millions already in the market.Of course you’ll “hope” that we’ll like them. A.K.A like them long enough just to give you our hard earned money for 6 months before you die off like the incompetent faggots that you are.

-”As for the future of Fix bearings, you can expect some quality garments, pro bearings and a fresh website to drop early next year.”
How original, Al Hooi, you lame fuck. How about you make a product more interesting, unique, or high quality? You’ll probably end up releasing the same shitty 1st run bearings and 3 t-shirts for 5 yrs straight. Just like stupid ass 616. Woopee, another weak ass company that will release un-special bearings with 3 shirts on their line forever and ever. And ever.

-”PRO TEAM – ALBERT HOOI, DOM SAGONA, DEMETRIOS GEORGE, NICK LOMAX, FRAZER WATSON & ERIC PERKETT.”
Who cares? Having a million pro riders won’t make your shitty bearings any better. I will stick with even Bones Reds for 10 yrs straight, and even by then I bet you “Fix bearings” wouldn’t and couldn’t have even come up with anything better than their lame little Abec rated garbage.

Funny to think a sick team would tend to disagree by supporting his shit, oh shit Tupac you must be right, i mean the opinions of some of the best skaters out there mean nothing compared to yours. Support hahaha inernet haters dont have the intelligence to grasp the concept of support.
