Mission BSX Skates - Wheels Don't Spin?

Question

I bought a pair of Mission BSX skates today, but the wheels don't spin. I'm sure as I break them in they'll loosen up a bit, but I was wondering if I could spray some WD-40 on the bearings to help start the process or if there was something else I should do. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Definately the bearings, if you can use tri-flow use it instead of WD but WD will work. clean the outsides of the bearings after spraying so they don't pick up a lot of dirt and grime which will clog them up. If you want to really increase performance buy german or swiss bearings in the future.
