    I sort of wonder if anybody has ever bought these rather than a sponsor giving them to them. the price is just ridiculous

    Full Ceramic Damn, who needs shields....

    only $440 bucks or so. Dont get me wrong they probably are fast but not $400- $420 faster then other steel or ceramic bearings for that matter

    Biltins. Easy to work with because you don't have to deal with spacers or speed rings, and IMO very smooth and very fast. The best bearings I've ever ridden.
    Oh yeah, and only $25.

    I ride Bones Swiss Sixes, and I love em'. I've done a fair share of DH with them. They clean easily too.

    as long as you keep your bearings clean, you'll do fine with pretty much any bearing

    hmm, I personally haven't found my bilitins smoother or faster for pushing than bones anything or panther ceramics. I found a place where I can get panther ceramics for about 25$ a pop so I'm rocking them in everything, very nice bearings, comes with spacers and speed rings, but they are 40$ if you buy them online. Biltins are good bearings, I just haven't thought of them as the best, but they are a good price for everything included.

    I just ride whatever; although Ballistech/Rockin' Ron's are good if you like spending actual money on bearings.

    bearings are for chumps, just let the wheel roll directly on the axle
