Churchill MFG Tungsten bearings

Tungsten Carbide is the hardest metal that isn't radioactive...and doesn't react with water, aka, they never rust. ( yes, even if the pool you want to skate hasn't been cleared yet. ) so in summary, the smoothest bearings can possibly be, and you can't break them. Sound geed to you? Sounds good to me!:D

Bones ceramic super, Bones super swiss 6

Both I suggested are magnificent but both fairly expensive if your looking for cheap and good I'd go or super reds they are awesome but I had some bad luck when I was a beginner with them and they broke on me in like 7months. Had Bones ceramic super reds for 2 years now.

Bones reds

Reds are good because their well priced and easy to clean. I like them a lot and so do my friends.they are also really durable and strong. But if your a skater who likes speed get bones ceramic Swiss bearings because I once had pair at 100$but at the price you pay there amazing.
