Leo Baker Setup FAQ
What deck does Leo Baker ride?
Leo Baker rides a Glue Skateboards 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 Glue Skateboards 8.25 deck through the buy links in the setup above.
What trucks does Leo Baker use?
Leo Baker uses Ace 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 Leo Baker ride?
Leo Baker 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 Leo Baker skate in?
Leo Baker skates in Nike SB React Leo. 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 Leo Baker use?
Leo Baker 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.
