I run a concave bearing on my wide sport and haven’t had problems with snagging or mid-trick binding. Personally i would go with a concave. ---

Ummmm if too many layers are stacked up in the middle, then they start to… fall over or something… it’s like the concave part can’t hold a ton of layers in the middle, some of them will like fall over like I said before and rub the response. ---

That can happen on any bearing. The layers will seperate, and run all over. ---

yeah, they will. also, what kim-lan said, they aren’t worthless, they just aren’t needed. personally, i much prefer flat bearings, especially for 5a, cause it helps me work on my control. ---

Yep. You don’t need a special bearing to pull off a trick, just use a stock, or buy a manufactured bearing. ---
