  1. bad bearings


  2. If your riding on a flat surfaxe with no rocks amd cracks and there still riding bumpy they probably have tiny flatspots on them.

    As for the squeak,that's your deck and your trucks rubbing

  3. Get a new pack of wheels and bearings. If it is squeking, get some softer bushings if it is anoyin u.

  4. It sounds like you either have flatspots, or have something stuck to one of the wheels.  Run your fingers over the wheels to tell what it is.  Flatspots will eventually ride out.  You can also try turning the wheels around and that might take care of the problem as well.  

    The squeaking sounds like it is just the bushings.  It is not a problem, but ban be annoying.  It could also mean that the hardware holding the trucks to the deck is loose.

  5. the fact your wheels ride bumpy are because they probably have flatspots or/and all your wheels might not be the same size

    Your bearings seem like the don't have lubricant and are not clean at all.

    Go buy yourself a good pack of wheels (Spitfire) and some bearings (Bones Reds are cheap and good)

    Having the new wheels and bearings will definetly help with you skating performance

  6. You should probably buy need bearings, or maybe you need to tighten your trucks.

  7. its time to get new bearings and wheels or get new wheels and get bearing lupe which is like a thing that goes on ur bearings and it gets out all of the grease
