Giving props to ya for printing Ninja's response to Ron's article on bearings. I ride ninja's and Rons, and while the Rons are noticebly faster, the Ninja's aren't bad. I'm just glad to see both sides representing and hoping a fued ensues cause the consumers are gonna be the winners |

Hey Ron, I'm currently riding the Rockets. I pretty much ride mini ramps most, if not all, of the time. Do you think I'd feel a difference on a mini if I switched to the ceramics? |

You will notice a difference immediatly, no matter what you were riding before. The Ceramic Rockets have tested to be the fastest, quickest accelerating bearing we have ever tested.....and I have tested them all....I wish I only had to sell the Ceramics because they are SO good, every hard working skater deserves to be riding on them....
Thanks for the inquiry...... |

There is no comparison. The ceramics are unbelievable! Any thing to do with vert, bowl, or mini you will notice an immediate difference. I found that I can stay in the bowl or vert ramp longer with out getting as tired because I am not having to pump as hard. Super fast acceleration, bigger higher airs, get Rockin Ron cermaics today! |

Don't discount the SPS Rockets Steels -they are truly sic in their own right! Unbelievably smooth running, quite, solid and super-fast! The acceleration is shocking. Ingenius design. But yes, the Rockets Ceramics have an edge on, well, EVERYTHING ELSE OUT THERE!!! (There should be some sort of license required to ride these - MF ZOOOOM!)
Prior to the emergence of Ron's mad scientist/skate hellion creation, I rode another brand of ceramics. When the prototype SPS Rocket Steels arrived, I found the steels completely smoked on them. F**kin' steels smoking my ceramics -I never would have thought it was possible!! Who needs that shit when they've found perfection? So I've since given those other bearings away - I'll never ride shit bearings again.
Now I'm on the Rocket Ceramics in two of my set-ups (running the SPS Rockets steels on another two set-ups) and.... fuck me stupid if I'm not going faster than I ever had in 27 years of skateboarding. |

Howdy,
I know we've talked about these on other web-sites...but
it bears repeating; Ron's Ceramics are FAST. No hyperbole,
no exaggeration. You will notice a difference the first run
you take with the ceramics installed in your wheels.
Even compared to Ron's Rockets, they are FAST. The
first time I rode Ron's Ceramics after I put them in a set
of Shitfire 63mm wheels...WHOAAAA!!! I though I was going
to launch out of the bowl. Serious speed control issues.
And, they get faster after the initial break-in period.
Do yourself a favor...buy a set of Ron's Ceramics. They
deliver the goods and are worth the extra money.
AMAZING.
