    Oust bearings are FAST AS ****! Killer bearings that speed up quick & hold it great. Even the Moc 5s are killer, I bet the 9s are DEADLY.

    The MOC 9's are nice, but you DO still need proper bearing spacers to really get all the benefits out of them.

    get them trimmed you won't regret it im sure the red avilas that aren't trimmed are slow as **** but my trimmed ones are pretty damn fast and they still grip incredibly well the only reason u would need them non trimmed is if you have exkates or originals.,but ull still be hella slow

    i have read and researched trimming the outer lip on avilas and avalons and i am still unsure as what trimming does to them, i thought that trimming them makes the outer lip more supported yet still flexible adding more grip... but i could be wrong

    i thought the Oust Moc 9's were very fast bearings. i used them for their intended purpose, transitions and slalom, one or two bearings seized up(irrepairable) on the slalom set and i broke 2 of the cages on my pool deck. they are fast, but i hope they have upgraded their construction standards. they have a new Moc 9 SS too, that might be what i need, its supposed to be stronger, but they are mucho deneiro. Rockin' Rons are a great value bearing @ $23. haven't f'ed oned of those yet.
