[sparkzhd]

I wanna work as an compressed air wheel go up worker

[JustWastedHoursHere]

The workers in this factory look exactly like I envisioned they would.

[elijahdage]

I love how this comment section is so passionate about these guys making wheels.

[slyesco]

Always good to see how things are made. Also makes me think about the people that make machines that make things.

I’m so glad they chose Bones wheels and not some generic no-name brand wheels 💀 🔥🛹

[Macho_Fantastico]

I never skateboarded as a kid, but grew up when it became really popular again and was always fascinated by the art and design of the industry.

[clarkkoford]

I wish they still made bones clears, they look so cool. Anyone know any alternatives?

[sethallison]

I’ve been riding bones wheels off and on for over 20 years. Bones and Spitfires are top notch.

[DeadHandX]

It takes a lot of work, thanks to all bros doing the wheels!u are truly appreciated!

[saltymelon]

I didn’t realize how much work it takes to make skateboard wheels. Thank you for choosing bones and not some cheap Walmart brand.

[StonesAndSand]

My first experience with awesome skateboarding came in 1977 when I bought a brand new $25 fiberglass board with Kryptonics polyurethane wheels. I absolutely thought I was in heaven.

Super rad video! It’s SO CRAZY to see the difference from the old garage wood molds and shit Steve would use to make even bones wheels and push out non-weathered bearings has come to. Supply and demand brother. It’s amazing. “The more absorbent the better”

[danmartin]

When the first urethane wheels came out (Cadillac?) they were SO much better than what came before it was just mind blowing. Sealed bearings too. You young-uns just don't know what it was like in the old days. LOL

[allumcharles]

Can't believe how much work goes into just printing the wheels

[sisterfister]

That beat in the background is too good for this video

[dvnkzz]

Don’t know why I’m surprised but I Love how this dude knows what he’s talking about.

[kevbarron]

I remember getting a set of rubber like soft ish wheels from my neighbour in the mid 90's. They were so quick and rolled over small pebbles. Never seen wheels like them again.

[InitialDrifterZ]

I had those bones clears. I wish I could buy a fresh set of them.

[pointZERO]

how it's made never ceases to have the dopest background music
