Sealed

Unsealed

The bearings are the only difference really, unsealed are tipacly faster but sealed spin just fine and are usually smoother and need less maintenance.

 

[Oscar]

I recommend unsealed actually. For some reason , everyone I know who can really ride hard and do big tricks says that sealed is bad. Everyone I know is refering to BMXers at my local skatepark. I think Stan Smirnoff had some problems with his FSA Pig Sealed too.

It is easier to clean an unsealed too.
