Are Bones Reds good for hockey skates??

Or should I go with BSB Abec 7's or BSB Titaniums.

Titaniums are good if you're not too big on cleaning your bearings, if you are, just go with the 7s.

Swiss is the only way to go.

Just take care of the bearings you get regardless and you should be fine.

It's physically impossible to skate as fast as a bearing is capable of going, so you're wasting your money by going with Swiss bearings. It's a perception thing. Swiss are a better bearing, but only of you're a speed skater or downhill racing. You can go with the BSB abec 7's for hockey and you won't notice the difference. BSB Titaniums are pretty awesome for hockey too, cause you don't have to take really good care of them. They resist rusting and corrosion and they last a long time. Good for lazy guys like me that leave their stuff in their bag.

I'd recommend BSB Abec 7's and the new Green Hyper Formula G's (grippy as all hell) or the Labeda Millenium's.
