Skyrockets or Revenge (if you can find them) are amazing bearings. Less than $10/set, to boot.

What's everyone's thoughts on OUST bearings? I saw that they're made in America. And everyone here know's I'm a big MADE IN USA fan

oust bearings are quite amazing.

very fast.

Plenty of great bearings out there. Rockin' Ron's are my favorites but you can't really go wrong with biltins, oust, nitro, ninja, pleasure tools, bones reds, etc. The easiest advice is just to avoid the bearings sold mainly to shortboarders - lucky, pig, etc. Look for something that has gotten good reviews on sites populated by longboarders or older pool skaters (silverfish, ncdsa, skullandbonesskateboarding.com, old man army, etc.)

HOw do the oust abec 5's compare to the oust abec 7's? Is there a big difference?

Element Swiss are good, but over $30. Same with Pig ceramics.

They're actually good bearings. I gave a set to Martin, and he found them to be quite good.

Biltins. Clean out the factory grease, relube with Speed Cream, crank 'em down, and prepare for liftoff.

Plus, the convenience of not having to mess around with spacers and speed rings is a godsend.

Assuming you have wheels that have the perfect sized hub for biltin's built-in spacers.
