Bastien Salabanzi Setup FAQ
What deck does Bastien Salabanzi ride?

You can shop the same Primitive Skateboards Bastien Salabanzi Pro Model deck through the buy links in the setup above.
What trucks does Bastien Salabanzi use?
Bastien Salabanzi uses Destructo Trucks Stage 7–9 era trucks. 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 Bastien Salabanzi ride?
Bastien Salabanzi rides Spitfire Wheels Classic (historic era) wheels. 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 Bastien Salabanzi skate in?
Bastien Salabanzi skates in Lakai Cambridge. 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 Bastien Salabanzi use?
Bastien Salabanzi uses Bones Swiss 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.
