Why I need 3 different board setups at all times

Показать описание

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.

Subscribe and help me hit 90k! 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

Didn't know having multiple boards was a thing. I've been skating for 10 years, and I've always used 1 board for everything haha

The older you get the more setups you accumulate. Got a buttload of setups but my 4 main boards are my popsicle curb beater, shaped park/pool setup, old-school shaped setup like I rode 35 years ago with soft and cushy wheels, and a longboard for hitting hills.

I have one primary deck with hard duro wheels, i have a second primary with softer whees for riding the rough streets and a older deck for riding to work. So three decks is just about right lol

2. I’ll just switch the wheels to 92a to create a cruiser.

(Tech) 8.25 or 8.12, Mag Lites gloss, Ricta Speedring (53mm 34wide 99a), Bones reds, shortys hardware, bones soft bushings, Tuned Loose. This is the board I’ll change wheels on.

(Transition) 8.5, Indy polish, Spitfire conical (99a 56mm 34.5 wide), Andalé bearings, Indy hardware, Indy Super Hard bushings, tuned tight.

Yeah for sure you shouldn’t limit yourself, go all out for something you love.

I have 4 boards. My drop down longboard I’ve had for 10 years, a surf adaptor wide size 10, a 8.25 with 101 hard wheels for the same reason, and a 8.0 with softer wheels and lose trucks.

Love the options!

I always thought having multiple setups stupid. Until I rode my friends cruiser board and I instantly fell in love

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.

I do the same, I have 1 for street/park, 1 for flatground, one for filming/bowl transition. Great video!

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🔥🐶🛹💨

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

I'm the same once I find something the way I like. I try avoiding changing it due to fear I'll never find it again. I'll end up yipping myself

I have 6 setups. 2 trick boards with different wheels. 3 cruisers for different things. And a cruiser trick board mix for bowls.

I used to skateboard in the mid to late 1970’s, I have my two original skateboards from way back then. Those are Tracker Trucks custom built skateboards. Now my son is getting into skateboarding. Built out two cruiser boards recently with old school Tracker Axis and Classic Six Tracks. He had a popsicle no-brand board someone got him (Walmart?) when he was younger but he tried skateboarding when he was young and gave up on it. Now he’s learning it again at 16. Basically I am buying various NOS Trackers and putting them on newer decks. Building three cruiser boards, two are Bustin Board Maestro using the Tracker Longboard 180mm, also trying to get a Shrike Thermoglass for me to ride. So far it’s only been 4 sessions (1-2 hrs each) and he’s now skating about 100 yards. We both have a ways to go before we are ready for our local skate park and downhills but making incremental progress.

Just got back into skating at 38 and already have two setups. First build was a cruiser just to get the coordination back. Wide deck and super soft wheels. Can still ollie with it and have a good time with carving turns and manuals.

Just built a park setup as the coordination is back and ready for some quarter pipes, rails, and boxes with hopes of getting back to flip tricks. 8.3" with Spitfire F4 99a wheels.

Next, I'd like to have a do it all rain setup next with a carbon / fiberglass board. Something to roll around on street but also ride bowls at the park.
