Similar to any machine with wheels, skateboards have bearings too. Even though considered a skilled sport, manufacturing skateboards and their parts are still largely influenced by street culture. The bearings are the metal inside the wheels that bear all the weight of the person and the skateboard combined but also provide for highest mobility. Good quality bearings are vital for a good board as they assist to give you a smooth ride.
