So fast, so smooth.

So fast, so smooth. I know these camps draw a lot of criticism, but the hype is real. They spin significantly faster than my previous Bronsons G3 set. Newfound speed and fluidity will add a refreshing kick to your usual skateboard spots. G3 are outdated but I'm glad I upgraded to RAW. They look great, sound freaking gross and have ass!

Pros
  • High quality workmanship
Cons
  • Damaged

Amazing performance

I bought these to replace the bearings on my old Dervish Loaded longboard. I was immediately impressed as I turned the wheels by hand and each took 1-2 minutes to stop. They say they don't need to be broken in and I think that's technically true, but I tested and re-tested after just one ride (about an hour away) and each wheel was spinning for over 4 minutes! Love these camps.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Having trouble

You never know what you're going to get

I love Bronson Raw Lager when I get a pack of 8 and they all work. This is the second time I've ordered Raws from Revain and have at least one camp already dead or near death. Ordered kits from Tactics and SoCal with no problems. Great product good price but you can end up with a return which is what I did with this last order. Replacement was sent next day which is good but I won't be buying these through Revain again.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Quality

Worst Skate, Skateboard & Scooter Bearings

In 20 years of skateboarding I've never had a bearing with a shorter lifespan. Unshielded by nature, they suck up dirt and dust like a vacuum cleaner. After a month of driving, all four wheels hardly roll anymore. When I try to spin the wheels I clearly hear dirt scraping in the bearing. It's a shame because the stock Bronson shielded bearings are actually pretty good and cheaper than these. I give these two stars because they were very quick out of the box. If you buy these, be prepared forโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Crumpled

From smooth to rough in a short time.

Fitted these bearings and they ran great. They spin freely at 1:40 and my previous set (Bone Red) spins at 1:00. I ridden them at my local outdoor skate park and they got noticeably rough and rolled like crap after about 20 minutes of riding. The park was not dirty and was literally swept out of the dust before I drove. I plan on cleaning them, re-oiling and trying again. but the design seems flawed and the open face lets in too much dirt. Disappointed overall and will try the next G3 as Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Heavy duty finish
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Good bearings but they are hair magnets

I was curious about these bearings as I have stayed with shielded bearings for the past 12 years. They're pretty good, but they're hair magnets. I have to drive about a mile from where I parked to get to my office. A couple of times I've made it to my office and literally a whole nest of hair got stuck in one of my back bearings. It's a university with a lot of people walking around, mostly women, so I think there's a lot of hair on the floor? In any case, the bearings will be very slow atโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Something different

The result is the best bearings on the market.

The name says it all, these are bearings #1. Yes, they are 100% unprotected on one side and much more susceptible to contamination than almost any other bearing, but there is a simple solution. SIMPLY TWIST THE OPEN SIDES OF THE BEARINGS INTO THE WHEEL. I mean, is it really that hard to understand? I had my sons and I was like this for MONTHS and never had to clean them and those kids are still screaming like rockets. No camp can match the speed these things can handle. If you can't handle that

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Negative impression

5 stars so far! for stock

I read reviews that after a few days they slow down. Took them out today and they are as quick now as they were at the start of the day. These stocks are fast and so much fun to ride. However, they are quite noisy when not shielded. A small price to pay for the noticeable speed boost I experienced. I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend them to anyone who doesn't like the noise they make. I started slathering them with Bones Speed Cream and it was a HUGE MISTAKE! DO NOT LUB WITH

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • lots of stuff
