Brian Anderson Setup FAQ
What deck does Brian Anderson ride?
Brian Anderson rides a Anti-Hero Skateboards Brian Anderson Pro Model deck 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 Anti-Hero Skateboards Brian Anderson Pro Model deck through the buy links in the setup above.
What trucks does Brian Anderson use?
Brian Anderson uses Ace Trucks AF1 LTD 66 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 Brian Anderson ride?
Brian Anderson rides Spitfire Wheels Formula Four (classic shape; size not stated) 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 Brian Anderson skate in?
Brian Anderson 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 Brian Anderson use?
Brian Anderson 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.
