Take apart & reassemble a (skate) bearing - Simple & Easy in HD!

Hi again, I've been skating for about a month now, but have nerded-out on all of the technical aspects of skating. Also, sorry for the late response. Softer, larger wheels are always better for rougher terrain, as they have some give; reducing vibrations (giving you a smoother ride), and minimizing damage to the contact patch (the part of the wheel directly in contact with the ground), as well as hanging up less on cracks and imperfections in the ground. And yes, the 60mm SharkWheels are extremely soft, coming in at 73 on the "A" durometer scale. Also, installing the shock/riser pads is exremely straight forward. Just remove the screws that attach your trucks to the deck, and place the pads inbetween the trucks and the deck when you re-attach them. Since using riser pads increases the space between the top of your mounting hardware, and the bottom of the truck baseplate, you'll need some longer screws. (I know I said you'd need 1/8" risers, but you'll actually need 1/4" ones. Here's a link to a set of risers and new screws: [LINK]) About changing boards, you don't need to buy a new skateboard unless the deck has cracked or snapped, the nose and tail have been ground down to a razor…

The bearing. Use this vid: [VIDEO] It’s pretty thorough and make sure to clean every part of the bearing with a napkin like he does in the vid. It may be tricky at first, so be ready for that
