Best Answer

The first couple of times bearings get wet the grease/oil inside them will protect the mechanism, but by repeatedly flushing them they will rust and deteriorate. If they have rubber shields, one remedial action is to pop them open and add rinse them in something like acetone before (most importantly) adding bearing oil and putting the shieds back on.

Is grip tape waterproof?

Well i guess you could say that, but its never a good idea to get any part of your skate wet. Wet grip is less grippy and increases the chance of your grip peeling off. Also if you get your deck wet it can become waterlogged (which causes it to be heavy and lose pop), not to mention the rust on your trucks and bearings (rust can eventually cause your bearings to fall apart)
