What are the top ten best skateboard bearings?
I don't doubt the quality of bones but as for abec9, abec7 etc, most of them are not abec9, abec7... Abec 9 bearings are used in critical aerospace and instrument applications. There are not many bearing manufacturers in the world that can make Abec 9 as most do not have the equipment and yet you see Abec 9 bearings readily available in skate shops at low prices. A real Abec 9 bearing would cost 30 to 40 US Dollars or more. I leave you to decide!! Have a look at http://www.smbbearings.com/Framesets/Skate_Frame.htm for useful info about skate bearings. #1 bones Swiss #2 bones reds #3 speed demon #4 blind #5 abec 9 #6 abec 7 #7 abec 5 #8 abec 3 #9 abec 1 #10 jc (walmart sold skateboards) *bones ceramics are much faster than bones Swiss but they can shatter*

On the ABEC scale 7 is better but 5 is not the lowest. The scale numbers are 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9, so a five would still be a good choice.
What is the Best bearings for outdoor roller hockey?
I would say probably any ABEC 3 rated STEEL (not ceramic) bearing with a removable shield for routine servicing (cleaning and lubricating). From what I've read, steel bearings made in America have tested better as a group than German, Swiss, or especially Chinese bearings, but of course there will always be exceptions to this. Abec 3's can take more dirt before you slow them down. A higher ABEC-rated bearing with lower tolerances will get gunked up because there is less space in the bearing. An ABEC 3 that gets a little dirty can stay near optimum and will outroll a gunked ABEC 5, 7, or 9. From what I understand, the quality of polish on the steel, the depth of the raceway, and the ability for the bearings to move to lateral weight transfer are far more important than ABEC rating anyway. It is really hard to find these types of specifications, however, so unfortunately, finding a bearing you love is just trial and error. It is also important to note that it is not true that if you pay more, the bearing will perform better. My advice is to look for a serviceable ABEC 3 steel bearing that is manufactured in America and doesn't cost more that $25 for a set of 16. If you don't like it, buy a different ABEC 3 manufactured in America. You would be terribly unlucky if one of them wasn't a very nice set of bearings.
