SKF Has Professional Skater Covered
Swedish Manufacturer Offers New Custom Bearing Set
We’ve covered SKF in medical, wind turbine, hand tool, solar panel, and compressor applications. We’ve examined SKF bearings utilized in crazy, out-of-this-world, aerospace applications. Nothing, however, tops the seal of approval coming from a professional skater in Europe. Here’s a unique story coming out of SKF’s Evolution magazine:
According to his Dew Tour online profile, Oskar Rozenberg, or Oski as he prefers, comes to the skateboard world by way of Sweden where the first thing people typically think of when you say “skate” is ice.
However, Malmo, Sweden happens to be a skateboard haven within the Scandinavian peninsula. The best way to understand the 25-year-old skater is to watch his videos online. He boasts his own unique style based on how different he rides the same terrain as the competition. Sponsors for Oski have included Nike SB, Polar Skate Co. Spitfire Wheels, SKF and more.
In fact, the Oski Signature pro bearing set is now available for order through SKF. The bearings are presented in a unique packaging, featuring artwork by his friend David Stenström.
Made in Italy by SKF, these high quality, low friction bearings run fast and smooth – and offer long-lasting performance.
