Dan Mancina Setup FAQ
What deck does Dan Mancina ride?
Dan Mancina rides a Real Skateboards Dan Mancina Pro Model 8.25″ deck in a 8.25" 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 Real Skateboards Dan Mancina Pro Model 8.25″ deck through the buy links in the setup above.
What trucks does Dan Mancina use?
Dan Mancina uses Thunder 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 Dan Mancina ride?
Dan Mancina rides Spitfire Wheels Formula Four (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 Dan Mancina skate in?
Dan Mancina skates in Adidas Busenitz. 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 Dan Mancina use?
Dan Mancina 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.
