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?

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.
