Chico Brenes Setup FAQ
What deck does Chico Brenes ride?
Chico Brenes rides a Chocolate 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 Chocolate deck through the buy links in the setup above.
What trucks does Chico Brenes use?
Chico Brenes uses Independent Trucks 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 Chico Brenes ride?
Chico Brenes rides Autobahn Wheels 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 Chico Brenes skate in?
Chico Brenes skates in DVS. 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.
