You go out to skate because it’s a beautiful day, and don’t bother checking the weather as there are no clouds in sight. Suddenly a rainstorm comes and your board gets wet. You let it dry off and assume everything will be good. The next time you go to skate, however, the wheels don’t spin. Has this happened to you?

Don’t worry. Even if your bearings are starting to rust, they are not ruined. Rusty bearings can be saved. All you have to do is know how to clean them.

At the end of the day no matter what you do the bearings in your waterlogged board will lock up once they dry out. So what’s happening to the bearings? Answer- its a combination of things. Dirt has most likely penetrated inside the bearings shield and all the water has washed out the bearing lube. The final blow the the bearings spin is once they dry out the metal starts to corrode and small amounts of rust build up locking the balls to the metal housing or just simply getting in the way.
