A 3 min review, by skater/Designer – Fred Castro, From Brazil, skating the bearings and commenting about that performance.
Thanks Fred.

How come no one “hammer handed” the camera…
Oh wait it’s a professional style promo…
haha!

Nice advert, although to me bearings are bearings no matter what packaging they come in. But regardless the product junkies it should do the trick ;)

its a shame that these bearings arn’t that great. I have tried them and found them slow in fact.
I have found some of the skate boarder bearings quite good though.
December 28th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
In fact all the 4×4 gear is pretty tacky and poor quality IMO
December 28th, 2008 at 4:41 pm
Deshi,
You are correct, bones makes the best bearings. Most speed skaters won’t put anything else into their wheels. Oh ya, and…… craps are the same as bones reds….. same factory, same materials, different label on the rubber coated shield (which is patented by skate one the parent company of bones).

THE 3D animation was sick. Good work
December 28th, 2008 at 7:09 pm
goddam VIMEO removed the video, here’s the link to the youtube version,
on lower quality obviously, but it should do the trick for the ones willing to watch it,
also the link to the rat-tail vimeo channel, i think the video is still up,

December 29th, 2008 at 5:30 am
That was really sick. Some of the animation needs to be smoothed out but overall good job.
December 29th, 2008 at 7:02 am
Badass. Best bearings hands down. And yay…..not owned by skate one woodpushers!!!
December 30th, 2008 at 12:55 am

that music was fuckin siiick. anyone know the song??
December 31st, 2008 at 9:01 pm
thank you fred castro for actually doing something professional. i was pleased to see some real effort put into making a rollerblading video, instead of people who dont know how to use cameras, dont know how to edit, and dont put any effort into producing anything worthwhile. which isnt everybody in the industry, just most people. hopefully other people notice this and follow your example… or hire you to do stuff for them, because you definitely should make some money for putting shit like this out.
December 31st, 2008 at 9:50 pm
Nice one Fred, representing Brazil!
Some professional Stuff!
January 1st, 2009 at 10:23 pm
the skating was really good, im sure the bearings are as well…..but that was one of the worst product reviews ive ever seen!
he mentioned the packaging…like that matters, said that the abec 5 and 7′s are both good and said to support skater owned companies…….thats not a review lol
January 2nd, 2009 at 7:03 am
Good editing, but that’s about it.
Show me why they are good bearings, doing a bunch of grinds doesn’t really prove much. That said, these bearings, sadly, are not that good. I tried these after using CRAP, they are much slower.
January 2nd, 2009 at 7:34 am
I hate it when people say, bearings are bearings, they are all the same. It is good that you aren’t picky, but at the same time you are pretty f*cking dumb. Can anyone actually tell me that there is no difference between abec 3′s and Swiss bearings? If you tried both, you would know that there is a HUGE difference. I think the people who say this are probly too cheap to buy parts for their skates on a regular basis, or they are just afraid to go fast. If all bearings are the same, then I must be a drug addict for trying to find a skateshop somewhere that might have one last set of mindgame TI’s. But I’m not a drug addict, I know that some bearings are faster, smoother, and more dirt resistant than others. Anyone who has tried more than 3 different knds of bearings know that there are differences in the quality. Better bearings= more comfort in your skating. And oh yeah…. If there is no difference in any bearings, then why did they ever come up with that stupid abec system? Go to school and read a book.
Skate hard, live hard. PEACE

Nohhhhhhhh chorou o cavaco, cry the cavaco rsrsrsrs
very style man
e por isso q eu gosto de vc..
quem disse que rolamento e tudo igual????
(who said bearings are all equal? Similar?)
January 2nd, 2009 at 4:21 pm
one more time for the record:
CRAPS and REDS are the only, let me say that again, THE ONLY good bearings made in china.
Swiss, well bones, are made in Switzerland and are the best bearings made for skating.
January 2nd, 2009 at 5:32 pm
to get a good review for bearings we would have to see how they work and how they are made, and the difference to other bearings in technical terms, not just words. fuck packaging, fuck design, this looks good but it’s more like a graphic design excercise than a useful “review”.
i can understand a review for skates, but for bearings? if you want to do that you have to get technical, otherwise it’s just silly propaganda
January 2nd, 2009 at 8:46 pm
coolest promo i’ve seen…never had one cooler than this…
January 16th, 2009 at 4:25 pm
Really really COOL man
Congrats.
Ever one of the best skater from Brazil.
About the Design ? I have no words to say.
The perfection and creativity from this guy surprises everybody.
Again, Congrats !!
EH NOIS..
