Well its true about the Tulsa skate park folks this thing is going to happen. The foreman for California Skate Parks was in town last week to check on the progress of the site. Fingers crossed it will be done before the leaves turn.

In other Tulsa related news we will be testing a new bullet proof vest. This is the Chase Rayl pro model or CRM. The CRM will be light weight and very breathable so those hot Oklahoma days will not be so detrimental with another layer on. We were able to work directly with the manufacturer to provide a functional yet skateable vest. Look for footage real soon....

We also stubbled upon a cool article about Tulsa native Peter Ramondetta you can check it here

Today we are going to address the age old question about bearings. We will address this is witht help from the guys over at Bones Bearings.

We are often asked, “What ABEC rating are your bearings?” The answer is that “Bones Bearings are Skate Rated™ not ABEC rated.”

Bones Bearings are the skate industry leader and favorite choice of professional skaters, and have been since their development in 1983. During the past 25 years, Bones Swiss have become legendary because of their superior speed quality, and longevity. Even though Bones Swiss are the top rated bearing in skating, we don’t give them an ABEC rating. There is a good reason for this... thank you for asking.

The ABEC rating system has been around for the last 35 years. The purpose of the ABEC committee (Annular Bearing Engineers Committee) is not to test every manufacturer’s bearings and proclaim them good or bad, but to establish dimensions, tolerances, geometry, and noise standards for bearings in an attempt to aid industrial bearing manufacturers and users in the production, comparison and selection of bearings for general applications. However, since every bearing is used in a different manner and environment, bearings should be redesigned or “customized” for special uses (like skating). The ABEC rating system is not intended to be the only criteria used for selecting bearings for use in specialized applications like skating. It is only one of the tools a bearing designer can use if it is appropriate for the application.

The ABEC rating system includes grades 1,3,5,7, and 9. The higher the ABEC rating, the tighter the tolerances are, making the bearing a more precision part. High precision and small tolerances are required for bearings to function at very high RPM, in products like high speed routers that must spin at 20 to 30,000 RPM. In an application like this, an ABEC - 7 or 9 bearing rating may be appropriate. However, a skateboard with 54mm wheels turning 20,000 RPM will be traveling about 127 MPH! Since virtually all skating is done under 30 MPH, the realistic maximum RPM your skate bearings will see is about 4700 RPM and probably 90% of skating occurs under 2000 RPM. Thus, very high precision is not required at skating speeds.
