Review:
Quinton Bradford started Superfly Speedball Bearings in 2017. He’s been a skater since the 80s and wanted to give back to something he loved. As for the name, he always had a love for cult classic movies, blaxploitation, and cheesy horror. He wanted to come up with a name and logo that captured the exploitation film genre and the punk scene of the 80s that went along with skateboarding.
There’s nothing more annoying than skateboard wheel bearings that don’t hold up or just don’t spin well. I’m always on the lookout for solid bearings. I had heard good things about Superfly Speedball and was stoked to give them a spin. I started with the Classic 7’s, and they have not disappointed.
The first thing that stands out, is the packaging. They come in a nice tin container with the Superfly Speedball logo on it. Inside, the bearings are neatly packed in soft foam, along with the spacers, washers, and a few stickers. This might be a simple thing but a lot of competitor bearings are just in a cardboard sleeve. I thought the Superfly packaging was a really nice touch.
I’ve been rolling around on them for a few months now and have been impressed with how fast and smooth they roll. I’ve ridden them in parks, bowls, streets, and mini ramps. They have held up and like any bearing, need to be cleaned now and then. The flexible front shield is easily removed for bearing cleaning and lubrication. They are an impressive set of bearings.
Overall
The Superfly Speedball Classic 7’s bearings roll fast and smooth. They do not require a lot of maintenance but are easily cleaned and lubricated when necessary. They have held up well to several months of skating and still roll like new.
