A real comparison between ceramics and swiss would be good to see.

Mind-blowing, only a Sicencetitian could envision such a conclusive test!

Bones swiss and bones reds are the same exact design, one made in China and one name in Switzerland with tighter tolerances. The biggest noticeable difference will be how long the swiss last over the reds.

Lazy way is just pop in a new set of Reds everytime you buy new wheels. No cleaning or maintance ever. Works just fine.

Did anyone factor in wind resistance while wearing that big, floppy lab coat in the *probably not very constant* breeze? Was the rider's steering completely stable? What is the margin of error on that piece of chalk? Was the starting push exactly the same each time? Would the results be the same for a heavier/lighter skater? Were the bearings cleaned and lubed equally before the test? What other factors might have contributed? Is it valid to make a judgment based on only 3 runs? Would a run of 20 or even a hundred yield a similar result? This review is interesting but leaves me with more questions than answers, and for the price difference, I don't think the average skater is going to notice a difference.

where is the nobel peace rpize for this amazing scientician ffs

[ducki]

Whats cool is that you can put it on your roller skates

Matt Damon didn't even science this much when he was on Mars

[dudeabides]

This dude is the maddest scientist. Is this a relative of Ricky Gervais?

It looks like the wind picked up, for the Reds’ Test.

Reds suck. Same as OEM in my Birdhouse board. Not worth the upgrade at all. Spend more and get titanium.

[gang]

forget every bearing the only one is BIG BALLS

[kenmastersmaster]

This test sucked. You didn't degrease both and use speed cream to rule out better lube from the factory.

The Swiss are supposed to last longer, but no such proof exists

[JoshuaLindsey]

Bros, a drill a skate wheel, and a timer your welcome

[itstrilby]

This proved nothing lmao, no longevity test, wear in, etc. come on fellas
