Video Transcript

"Hi my name is Ryder Mackey and I'm here today with Expert Village, and I'm here to talk to you today about bearings. Bearings are what you put inside your wheels to make your wheels spin. You put one bearing on each wheel to make them spin. Um I'll talk to you about some different brands of bearings that may be best, what might not be so good. The best brand I would say, is reds and they make a higher version of them that's much better than them that's much better than reds that's called bone Swiss these two are basically what you want to stick with although there very expensive. Although if your looking for something cheaper, you might want to go with blank bearings. Um there decent um what your going to do with the bearings is your going to put one on each side of the wheel you want to stick them on each side and once there in there you can ok, kind of take your palms and press them in, real hard like that. We're just going to make the bearings flush with the wheel. And uh what I do is, you can take anything about this size, this is what I do, I like to put the wheel against my palm, with one bearing, and take something else and press it in there real good and tight. Until it won't go in anymore. Flip it around give this a, and do the same thing to the other side. And there you go."
