Why I need 3 different board setups at all times
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
A friend of mine recently saw a pile of my skate stuff and asked what each of my various boards are for. That inspired me to make a video about it :)
What about you? How many setups do you have, and what are each of them for?
FYI about some of the terms in this video:
"825 shop deck" means the board width is 8.25 inches (that's usually the most important thing when you ask what "size" your board is). Instead of saying "eight point two five inches", people just say "eight two five". "Shop deck" just means that the board is branded with a skate shop's name, instead of the name of a skate company.
"99A" and "78A" are durometers, which measure how hard the wheel is. Higher number means harder. Harder wheels slide, softer wheels are good for rough streets.
"Hollows" are trucks that are hollow in some areas, which makes the truck lighter, which supposedly lets you spend less energy popping tricks.

Details on each of the 3 boards in this video: Primary: 8.25 shop deck (from the-house), Independent 144 Stage 11 Hollows, 53mm 101a shop wheels (from skateshred) Powerslide: 8.25 Almost Impact Rings deck, Thunder 148 Foys, 53mm 99a Spitfire Formula 4 Conicals Cruiser: 8.3 Anti Hero deck, 8.25 Shop trucks (from the-house), 60mm 78a Gummy Bears (from skateshred) As for hardware/bearings: I skate whatever for these parts; haven't tried ceramic bearings yet, and I haven't gotten into buying really high high end bearings. Since this video, I've gotten a new primary; it's currently a 8.25 CCS blem, Independent 144 Stage 11 Hollows (same trucks as the old primary), Bones STF Retros 103a V3 Slims 54mm

Skaters here that are way better than me told me that I don't need the cruiser wheels. Didn't listen to them. They also told me to not clean my board since i told them that i cleaned my bearing then put some lubricant in it again. Told me to not do that so i never skated with them again.

I've learned how to modify Walmart boards so that they are equivalent to professional boards. For this reason, I have 42 decks for whatever reasons I want. If you want to learn how to modify Walmart decks and make them nearly indestructible it's not too difficult to do... If you don't mind making them a little bit more heavy than they come out of the box, here is how you do it using the following steps: 1. Unmount trucks and remove hardware 2. Use a paint scraper to remove all of the grip tape and all of the graphics on the reverse side 3. Use 300 grit sandpaper to remove all of the griptape, remaining graphics, 4. Coat the entire board was 1.5 mm of epoxy
My favorite set up over the winter was a 9.5 mile Vallely mammoth re-issue with 63mm 78a wheels. I could explore every part of the city
I'm usually the same and when a board setup starts to wear, I usually keep an eye out for a kid skating on toothpicks and splinters to gift the setup to before its done for, he will prob stretch its life out longer than I would at that point anyways, and it keeps the kids stoked on the scene. 😁🍻

It’s a cringe ass attention seeking video. “I HaVe A pOwEr SlIdE bOaRd” bruh my one and only board (I have multiple decks in my trunk and one extra set of trucks and wheels scattered in there). When I hill bomb on my one setup I just tighten my trucks, then after I’m done hill bombing and going back to the streets I just loosen them again 😂 this dude extra asf. Unless you a collector OR a filmer, there’s no reason to have that many boards setup at once. I’ll give a pass on a cruiser board though because it is nice to have one just when you going somewhere quick or on a trip, other than that 2 street setup decks are dumb.
I have three boards handy as well. One for the skatepark, one for street/cruise, and one for night time. The skatepark one I carry with me in my vehicle all the time. The night time one has those big soft wheels that light up multi-color when they spin.
and here I am thinking that this is a great idea even though I can't afford one board

I always have atleast 3 boards in the trunk of my car, sometimes 4. I got my primary set up how I like it for a regular street or park sesh, I got my cruiser set up with massive ,soft, flat wheels and a lot of height plus loose trucks for right turns, then I have my longboard which is closer to cruiser length than a 40” longboard but still provides lot’s of stability for hill runs yet allows tight manoeuvres plus some tricks as it has a solid kicktail, mostly for getting up onto high curbs. Then I have my surf skate that I sometimes bring for simple cursing and carving.

Cool. Since im a beginer (37 yo 🤪), i have one board. Mainly skate at the local skatepark (its safer for practicing and gaining confidence), trucks bit loosened, 100A wheels. Since I cant do so much tricks yet, the part between the trucks are quite newish 😁

Hey there fellow older beginner! I am 31 and just started skating a little while ago. I just wanted to comment and suggest you try some locations other than the skatepark every once in awhile. Me, personally, I only went to the skatepark and the concrete right outside of my house and I only did that last one because I couldn't always make it to the skatepark due to time issues. But, recently, I have started skateboarding at my local college. It's amazing! And it's actually, in some ways, easier and safer then the skatepark. I just wanted to encourage you to try a different spot sometime. Now, I'm not.suggesting it has to be a school per say but so long as you can find somewhere with a couple of different terrain options, you'll be golden! What is great about the school and what you want to look for in any good spot is a nice, wide, large area of good, smooth pavement where you can either just skate around and cruise unimpeded or you can practice any flatground tricks equally easy. Try and pick some place with a giant parking lot where you know traffic won't bother you and just use that. Thats one of my favorite things at the school. And then, you want at least one other type of area to make the spot worthwhile. The school has all sorts of paths where you can cruise and find different sorts of objects, stairs, ramps, junctures, stuff to skate off of, over, and grind depending on where you are at and what you can actually do. So if you don't have somewhere like a school you can use consider a dead shopping center. They often have very nice, smooth concrete up near the stores and many have surprisingly interesting obstacles behind and around them. And you can always.juat take it to a section far off where no one will bother you; technically all you need is a flat piece of ground and something simple for an obstacle, such as a curb or parking block. And then the options are limitless. Now, of you do this you may want to consider slightly softer wheels. They don't have to be much softer, I think mine are 96 and they work just fine on tennis and basketball courts! Trying new places really intimidated me at first but I just wanted to throw the suggestion out there. Doing this really helped me continue my growth as a skater and has been a real fun part of the learning process. Now, I can't stop looking at everywhere I go around town as a new potential spot. It's the best! Good luck out there, man. Stay safe!

I like having three one for cruising like you said, one for street with an 8.5 and thunders and one for pools or vert which can be anywhere from 9.0 to 10 and it has to be an og 80s board like anything from the bones brigade reissues and vision boards with independent trucks
I just use spitfire conical fulls, best all around wheel imo. Good for rough ground, power slides and they lock into grinds well since they're square

Having my cruiser board become my main (and only) board has been pretty interesting. I use ridiculously thick riser pads (more like blocks😂) with trucks that are a little tighter than usual and I am enjoying the experience. It's different but fun!
I have three boards. One is a Santa Cruz cruiser with Sector 9 Top Shelf Slalom wheels and 10” Gullwing Sidewinder II trucks. Second board is a Sector 9 drop-through longboard with 69mm Sector 9 Nineballs and 10” Gullwing Reverse trucks. Final board is a singlekick freestyle board I built on Decomposed with the basic trucks/wheels they offer. Still learning the basics with freestyle so I don’t have anything too crazy in that regard. However, my cruiser and longboard are my babies. I never leave the house without one or the other.

Three decks: 1. Standard, try-everything, street spots main set up. Switching between OJ nomads and Spitfire 99a radials 53-54mm, indy hollow 8.25 for good turns and quick pop, shallower kicked and medium concave decks like mini logo or bakers 2. Higher pop Ollie’s or learning flip tricks, wider wheel base setup for stability, same wheels as above, thunder-hi 8.0 for steeper, higher pop angle and closer to the ground, and steeper kick, ideally some twin tip decks too as I love switch Ollie/skating and am progressing into other switch stuff. 3. Cruiser set up, zip zinger 7.76 deck on 7.5 ace trucks, and OJ mini super juice OJ 87a Plain Janes on hand for when I feel like making my normal decks a cruiser. TLDR; 4 wheels (one harder wider, one skinny soft both for power slides; one 78a, one 87a cruiser type wheels) • 3 deck shapes (main, tech, cruiser) with trucks to compliment their purpose (Indy 8.25 main, thunder 8.0 tech, ace 7.5 cruiser).

Upgrading trucks are the best/worst day a skater will have lol i remember spending weeks, as a kid, making microadjustments to my new trucks, just to get back to my old truck feel.
I think i have 7 boards rn. Trying different stuff is fun and having extra boards for people to cruise is cool. 2 Street setups . Formula four with thunders i don't need with much and I'm trying ace af1s with dragon wheels. Just put together a creature 10" old school with 66mm Powell snake soft slide wheels. It's so much fun and fast as hell. Minimal pushing. I have pretty much your same cruiser setup but with bones atf 80a with Indy hollows but i like to throw Powell g slides on it sometimes. All different fun stuff.
I always try to have at least 3 or 4. Just like you, having a nice cruiser board or everyday board is great. I always carry a board for vert and bowls cause I never know when I might be at a park with one. Lastly, I carry a pennyboard, cause, why not? Lol

I’ve been hoarding different board sizes for about a year now, I’m about average height and started with about an 8, but recently bought a nine for my dad and have been trying out myself aswell. Before that thought I was trying out a super loose 8.6 with hollow trucks to mess with how my ollies felt between the few.when I switched to a (7.8x?) super light board I found my ollies started to just feel like I’m jumping. Oh yeah also small wheels helped but I still struggle when I’m looking to kick a flip

Great stuff man. Instead of switching boards I’ve also noticed some people simply switch their wheels from soft to hard if they are skating a distance to a skatepark but you’d have to have a backpack with the extra wheels

I also have an 8.0 with thunders to practice new flip tricks, etc.. then hop back to my 8.5 once I have figured out the motion of the trick I’m learning. The 8.0 is much lighter and easier to flip, which allows me to learn the dynamics of the trick a bit easier. I am currently building a cruiser, gonna be rocking a 10inch old school shape with OJ super juice 55mm 78a wheels, and some gullwing double kingpins to really get that surfing/snowboarding “gliding/carving” feel.
DH, freeride main,freeride backup , street freestyle JM Duran Flight setup on indy169 w dragons , rain setup ( moonshine sidekick) with grooved wheels and a pumptrack setup SIdewalk Surfer from Powell rounds it off. Each has a very specific use case and time has shown which setup suits for what condition or discipline .
I always had 1 or 2 set up for skating Revere, Kenter,etc and pools and I usually had a long board for carving street hills and footwork . I started on a Skee Skate with metal wheels.
I love my cruiser board. But you need a wide old school lookin board for the cruiser. Like the Santa Cruz Eric Dressen remakes. So good.
I have cruiser, a board setup for concrete parks. And one set for plywood, I also have a little 7” that’s great for working on tricks.
I have different builds for different moods. I usually just change my wheels out on my primary deck. Slappy setup 159 Mindy's on a polar P2 deck satori 54mm 101a wheels, park setup Krux 149's oj elites 53mm 101a pillar deck, and street polar P2 54mm dragon wheels, Indy's. Inverted kingpins on all three. Branson raw bearings.... 49 years old and I've been skating for 40 years. I have no plans of stopping anytime soon. Even with multiple medical conditions going on I still managed to get out there and skate just as hard as I ever have maybe not as long.
Two Setups: 8.25 cruiser with 56mm 87a wheels and high trucks, and my main board is also a 8.25 with mid trucks and 99a 52mm wheels
I have two cruiser boards. One that is able to cruise through the roughest terrain with big fat longboard wheels basically. The second cruiser is capable of also doing tricks and boardslides and a more versatile setup in the streets. Then I have a 7.75" popsicle setup for learning my flip tricks and other tricks, mostly in the skatepark. And last, I have a dedicated freestyle skateboarding setup with a Decomposed freestyle deck and wheels to match. I literally would get bored with just one deck to skate, even though for learning flip tricks it is probably better to stick with just one setup for a while.
That razor tail though lol. Love those cruising wheels.

@@Mikeyjfox1 totally love that.
Thanks dude. Apparently I only had the sess slider and used it for everything. Never thought of different set ups.
I take four boards and do about 20 mins on each session. The different sizes, wheels, and trucks give tons of variety to the same hill.
Gotta have a quiver. I have my regular 8.25 for traditional skating, a wider old school setup for transition and curb skating, and a gnarly cruiser with fast, big wheels.
I only skate one set up. 8.5 deck, Indy trucks with bones bushings mediums, all the way loose (giggle giggle), spitfire formula 4 99 enduro wheels , Bronson sheeldless ceramic bearings. I use it for everything .
9.2 Powell flight deck for street 🏄🏻♂️💪🏻
2 setups. One is usually 8.25 to 8.5 for parks/street usually Indys or ventures 52 wheels. The other setup is for cruising/walking the dog. The deck is whatever old deck I have around. Trucks are gullwing double trucks (super smooth and fun for carving) wheels are 69 mm 75A really soft wheels that help give and grip better with double trucks🔥🐶🛹💨
> Pool/pump track; old school 10" single kick with avenue trucks. > Surfskate; 16" wheelbase with curfboard trucks > LDP and commute; major arc complete with otang caguama > Surfy cruiser; sector 9 with drop thru sidewinder trucks. > Freebord > Streetboardz Next to get > Anderson 290 with mode freestyle wheels. (General park use)
I like Heroin skateboards for cruising and a trick or two, i love their artworks - i keep them all.. being doing for a while. The main board : started with Baker then i switched to Foundation and i still use it most of the time, lately i bought Polar decks and loved them, they feel a bit different. Sadly in Eu the shop boards are a thing only with big shops or mailorders, so i go back to the brands i know and love. Trucks always independent, wheels small - possibly black, dont care the brand but it has to be a known brand. Bearings : ceramic ones for the past decade, except a couple of times abroad
I have 2 I got my primary board that I use for skating anywhere Then I got my backup board I use it whenever it’s wet outside and I don’t wanna ruin my nicer board
Penny Board 27“. Please don‘t kill me…
I only have a cruiser setup. I don't really have a motivation to learn tricks at the risk of breaking something, but I practice manuals a little just to build up my balance and comfort.
I love the progress you’ve come a long way keep going
I got 2. Bowl and tricks. The trick board primarily can do all three. 56mm wheels 169 trucks 8.6 deck hard wheels. Perfect for all around. Bowl practically the same but soft wheels sometimes shaped boards
I currently have an 8” Sk8 Mafia with thunder mids, 53mm OJ wheels, bones reds bearings. Soon I’m getting an 8.5” Krooked with low trucks, 51mm gold wheels, and mini-logo bearings
I just have an 8.25 deck with 80A wheels I believe. I loosened the trucks about as far as I could without risking wheel bite. I skate only street (and am trying to learn tricks) and the area I mainly skate has a wide range of roughness and bumpiness so I was trying to have something that's comfortable to stand on (I have big feet) and can do tricks but is also comfortable on rough road (plus there's a lot of tiled ground here and smaller wheels get caught in the gaps all the time)
People usually have 2 decks one for cruising and the main one,but for me I have my main one and my curb crusher,both 8.8x32.5 board. Main one: Tired cat board 8.8x32,5 Independent trucks 169mm Spitfire formulas 4 53mm Curb crusher: Madness 8.8x32.5 with multi trucks span Ace 6.6 trucks Bones wheels 104mm 50mm
this makes me want to pick skateboarding back up, damnnn i used to love this
Nice. Coming back to this vid 5 months later, I now have another skateboard. No idea what kind it is but it gets the job done 😂
I have two boards. First is my cruiser board, it’s a Santa Cruz winkowski 10.3 and I got some 60 slimeballs for it. My main board I use is a Santa Cruz twin tail VX 8.25 with some 54 form 4’s. One is to get me from my house to my skatepark very comfortably and the other is what I use when I’m at the skatepark
I also have 3 mains I have a santa cruz cruiser with 69 millimeter hawgs chubby wheels and independent trucks. I also have a long board it is my main for hill bombing it is a sector 9 long board with 69 millimeter wheels as well. And then finally I have my trick bored. It has very hard blind wheels with tight trucks for pressure flips and it is really only good for smooth surfaces and sidewalks but I love the hard wheels for more pop. Now I know that that doesn’t sound right but in my head it gives me more pop
That manny was insane
I highly suggest dirching the cruiser set up and get a longboard cruiser with 5-10mm soft raisers and 70-75mm wheels (make sure to pick really soft duro like 76a) It’s like a bugatti in the city! you can do much bigger trips and longer distances because you are much faster. and reversed kingpin longboard trucks are a nice alternation for a different riding feel.
I love doing these trips especially if you see one of those e scooters and ur in the middle of the city it’s so fun
I am learning so much about skateboarding I never knew I needed to know

Thanks man, the world has infinite knowledge and we are all students.
My skateboard is a 8.25 blind deck with skully on a giant boom box, VERY tight trucks for hill bombing, formula 4 spitfire wheels and bones reds bearings.
I have one deck…dead serious Tony Alva signed like 20 years ago. I run it with no trucks…no wheels…on a trampoline! Triple heels and stuff 🎉
