They work great, and don't need as much maintaining as shielded bearings, which is always a plus. Especially since these bearings are more difficult to maintain, as they are shielded, one of only two complaints.

And they roll great.

Equipment Reviews

How long have you ridden them?: About 4 Months
What Setup are you running them on?: On a Sector 9 Maccas Board, 32 inches, Gullwing Sidewinder trucks, 77mm 85a Abec11 Strikers.

Also on my flex 2 Loaded Dervish.
Typical Discepline?: Downhill, Slalom, Speed.
How much did you pay for them?: Came with the complete, but I got new ones for $15.
Where did you buy them?: Local Skate Shop, Funky Planet
What are their weaknesses?: The seals make it harder than shielded bearings to maintain, but that is to be expected. They also make some funky noise when you hit high speeds.
What are their strengths?: They are great at speed, and very durable. I actually dinged mine up while installing them on the strikers, and I opted to see how it rode. There is no easily discernible change in performance, even with dented shields.
What similar equipment have you ridden?: Ninja Abec 7s, Pleasure Tools Ceramics, Bones Reds, Daddies Board Shop Stock 7s.
Would you recommend them?: Yes

Basically, I didn't know how well the stock bearings would do, and I rode my board just about every dry day for 6 months. One just died and the rest don't feel too far off. Go get some trackers or bones

You can get more for your buck. These get dirt in them really easily and start getting stuck and just not working. You can buy the Reds for the same price. Besides, Reds are better from what I here.
