Ben Raybourn Setup FAQ
What deck does Ben Raybourn ride?
Ben Raybourn rides a Metal Skateboards 8.3 deck in a 8.3" width as of 2026.

You can shop the same Metal Skateboards 8.3 deck through the buy links in the setup above.
What trucks does Ben Raybourn use?
Ben Raybourn uses Independent Trucks Stage 11 139 trucks in size 139. 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 Ben Raybourn ride?
Ben Raybourn rides Bones Wheels Vato OP V2 52mm wheels in 52mm. 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 Ben Raybourn skate in?
Ben Raybourn skates in Nike SB. 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 Ben Raybourn use?
Ben Raybourn uses Bronson Speed Co. Next Gen 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.
