Magic Bearings is a brand new company on the scene. Founder Rob Nickell answered a few questions about the business to give people a sense of what's going on.
So where did Magic Bearings come from?
Magic Bearings stemmed from a desire to be more involved and give back to something I enjoy: downhill shredding. A friend gave me the idea to look at bearings and I realized: except for a few niche companies, everyone just buys trick skate bearings, and those profit dollars fly away, never to be seen again. If there was a bearing company that focused on the interests of the community, those dollars could be turned around and used to grow the scene.
