Axel Cruysbergh Setup FAQ
What deck does Axel Cruysbergh ride?
Axel Cruysbergh rides a Toy Machine 8.5 deck in a 8.5" width as of 2026. Deck choice is the single biggest factor in a pro's setup — width affects stance and stability, while concave and construction drive pop and flick. You can shop the same Toy Machine 8.5 deck through the buy links in the setup above.
What trucks does Axel Cruysbergh use?
Axel Cruysbergh uses Independent Trucks Stage 11 149 trucks in size 149. Trucks determine how a skateboard turns and how it lands grinds, and pros typically match hanger width to deck width for proper alignment. Most pro skaters stick with one truck brand for years once they have the feel dialed in.
What wheels does Axel Cruysbergh ride?
Axel Cruysbergh rides OJ Wheels 56mm wheels in 56mm. Wheel size and hardness drive speed and grip — smaller, harder wheels favor technical street skating, while larger, softer wheels suit transition, park, and rougher terrain.
What shoes does Axel Cruysbergh skate in?
Axel Cruysbergh skates in Vans Old Skool Sport. Skate shoes are built with reinforced toe caps, vulcanized or cupsole construction, and grippy gum rubber outsoles for board feel and durability. Pros often go through several pairs a month from heavy daily skating.
What bearings does Axel Cruysbergh use?
Axel Cruysbergh uses Bronson Speed Co. bearings. Bearings determine roll speed and how long your wheels keep spinning, and a properly maintained set should last as long as your wheels with regular cleaning. Pros usually upgrade bearings before swapping wheels.
