Franky Villani Setup FAQ
What deck does Franky Villani ride?
Franky Villani rides a Primitive Skateboards Franky Villani Pro Model 8.5″ deck in a 8.5" width as of 2026.

You can shop the same Primitive Skateboards Franky Villani Pro Model 8.5″ deck through the buy links in the setup above.
What trucks does Franky Villani use?
Franky Villani uses Thunder Trucks Stamped 149 trucks in size 149. 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 Franky Villani ride?
Franky Villani rides Spitfire 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 Franky Villani skate in?
Franky Villani skates in New Balance Numeric 417. 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 Franky Villani use?
Franky Villani 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.
