Question:

Can I put X-TRA HEAVY DUTY GREASE on bearings?

Can I put it on skateboard bearings?

Answer:

You can Just make sure it is high temp grease. I didnt see where it was for a skateboard. I think it was added after I answered the question. I was thinking it was for A hub bearing on an automobile.
You can, but it would be a bad idea. Bearings require lubricants based on their use. Grease is used where the temperature is high enough to liquify the grease to the proper viscosity. Also, if your skateboard has exposed ball bearings, the grease will collect and hold dirt, which will then act as a grinding compound and wear them out. If the bearing are sealed, no lubrication is necessary.
