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.

Bro what size would you recommend for a dude who is 5’9” 180 lbs? 🤔
Skated when I was younger, wanna get back onto a board
my cruiser got crushed under a car :C
but it was funny 😀
if you got all those set ups than maybe start skating transition
How does your primary trucks never get loosened with use?
Here in India, it's way costly.
I have only one board.
Because, here, it cost 5999/- rupees per skateboard.
'KINDA LOOSE' 🤣
i had four different setups but recently just setup my board like your cruiser!

I have 1 board setup and 2 sets of wheels. Spitfire conical fulls and Spitfire radial soft sliders. I keep the same kind of bearings in both to maintain feel and swap the wheels between conditions. Im usually skating a park so if its stupid slick with spraypainted transition walls or rough af I'll put the 93a radial soft sliders on, and the conical full 99a for regular conditions
Two boards, 1 old and 1 relatively new
Gotta have Grind King Lockers on 1 of those boards

I purchased 1 a few years ago and only realy skated around the house, occasionaly going on the road but not for long. I recently started going on my skateboard again, I'm still new on just a cruiser, and just going down ramps and trying but failing to hit tricks lol
I use the same board until it breaks and I've got two pairs of wheels/bearings so I can just swap em out when I go to the park vs street skate cause I'm in college and don't have the money to be getting multiple setups.
you've always got em on you? 😂 I wanna see what it looks like when you skate around town with two boards on your back and one under your feet
I have a few different set ups myself. I have my main, vert, bowl, cruiser, and thebone i keep in my car just in case i see a cool spot.
i usually change the wheels from cruise wheels to harder ones and smallers
I got a street 8,5 Baker Board and I use my old Decks to Ride in the rain with some OJ56 wheels
