Chris Wimer Setup FAQ
What deck does Chris Wimer ride?
Chris Wimer rides a Zero Cardinal 8.5 deck in a 8.5" width 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 Zero Cardinal 8.5 deck through the buy links in the setup above.
What trucks does Chris Wimer use?
Chris Wimer uses Independent Trucks Stage 11 159 trucks in size 159. 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 Chris Wimer ride?
Chris Wimer rides Spitfire Wheels Formula Four 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 Chris Wimer skate in?
Chris Wimer skates in Emerica. 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 Chris Wimer use?
Chris Wimer uses Bronson 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.
