Oski fans ready for Signature pro bearing set
Fast, smooth, long-lasting: Oski Signature pro bearing set offer a performance that the pros prefer.
Gothenburg, Sweden, 30 May 2022: Fans of Oskar Rozenberg – also known as Oski – can now get their hands on his pro bearing set.
Oski Signature pro bearing set are now available for order. The bearings are presented in an unique packaging, featuring artwork by his friend David Stenström. Made in Italy by SKF, these high quality, low friction bearings run fast and smooth – and offer long-lasting performance.
“SKF bearings were some of the first I ever tried – when I was nine years old,” says Oski. “I was over the mall boards and at the point of setting up proper skateboards.”
He’s already used them in competition – to roll “straight into the semi-finals”. He says of them: “If they’re good enough for Ishod, they’re good enough for any skater.”
SKF, for those who don’t know, have history in bearings. Away from skateboards, their bearings are found in F1 cars, jet planes, stuff like that. Will this impress skaters?
“I think so, because that brand history is fascinating,” he says.
But despite this pedigree, he knows that skaters value something more down to earth.
“At the end of the day, it’s about practicality,” he says. “Skaters want a fair price for good quality that lasts a long time. These bearings are all that.”
The ‘fit and forget’ mentality is crucial. Because who wants to be tinkering with their wheels all the time?
“It’s important for sure,” says Oski. “You don’t want to have to change them too often.”
There is a science part behind all this – not least, the grease within the bearings – not oil – that helps them run smoother for longer. How does that sit with him? He’s refreshingly honest.
“I’m not an expert on bearing technology,” he admits. “But that’s why I ride SKF: I know they have that part covered.”
‘Oski Signature’ is the first pro bearing set release from SKF. Look out for more later this year.
