Should ship them stock with buddha bearings, cheap but play great 🙂 I like it. Shape looks like it’d be good for grinds, lightweight for faster play, low wall for horizontal, and hub looks like it’d be good for fingerspins, definitely my style 😃 Good luck! If you guys need a tester, I’d be down ---
