I recently got some really cheap bearings and I had never understood how horrible they can be. I wish I had understood 30 years earlier that the bearings matter. I'm running Bronsons and some ceramic ones now. They make the world of difference. It is just so much easier to pickup speed in the park and transition tricks become easier when you can actually pump up to them and don't have to get the speed just right on the approach.
