About This Site
Skate608 is for all small wheeled sports enthusiasts who need more information on bearings and wheels. Whilst focusing on informed discussion about 608 and 627 bearings we also cover wheels and the hardware that enables you to roll well.
Vision
The primary goal of Skate608 is to help skateboarders, roller skaters, inline skaters and scooter riders. Whether it’s finding the right set up, help with maintenance, installation and removal or wanting more in depth knowledge on those parts of your equipment that spin, we are here to help.
About The Founder
Corey Gibson is a life long small wheel sports enthusiast having over 40 years with either quad, inline or skateboard wheels under his feet. Crazy people at some university also said he studied enough to have a piece of paper that indicates he is a qualified Mechanical Engineer. This coupled with 20 years of professional engineering experience makes him the ideal guide for those who roll.
