Jimmy Cao Setup FAQ
What deck does Jimmy Cao ride?
Jimmy Cao rides a Sk8 Mafia 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 Sk8 Mafia deck through the buy links in the setup above.
What trucks does Jimmy Cao use?
Jimmy Cao 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 Jimmy Cao ride?
Jimmy Cao rides OJ 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.
