    first off bearings don't matter, as long as they spin they are fine, so "cheap crap" wont make a difference
    second i wouldn't ride w/o shields, just go buy some 10 dollar bearings and you'll be fine

    bearings matter. abec ratings do not (at skateboard speeds)

    At the shop I work at my co-workers say they never ride shields on their street boards, blows my mind. I told them I was going to keep riding shields and they said it was probably a good idea seeing as I'm way more apt to get something jammed in there.
