Question:

how do i brake in or broke in my bearings for skateboarding?

this guy told me to do that..and i didnt get it

Answer:

I don't get it either. Use tri flow, clean off excess so you don't attract lots of dirt and ride hard.
Just ride the skateboard...after a short time they will have broken in...You can also flip the skateboard over and spin the wheels hard for a couple of minutes...
how to broke in your bearings..another term is to season your bearings.. simplest way is to bomb some hills a few times.or just skate everyday ...this saves a lot of time..the reason you must do this is cos when a new bearing you buy from the local sk8 shop..they roll fast but still not fast enuff..these bearings are machine finished and only quality tested..they are not run in for endurance test..hence they may have some ruff edge even tho they roll smooth on the naked eye.. :D
