Leo Romero Setup FAQ
What deck does Leo Romero ride?
Leo Romero rides a Toy Machine Leo Romero Pro Model 8.25″ deck in a 8.25" width as of 2026.

What trucks does Leo Romero use?
Leo Romero uses Independent Trucks Stage 11 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 Romero ride?
Leo Romero rides Pig 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 Romero skate in?
Leo Romero skates in Emerica Romero Skater. 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 Romero use?
Leo Romero 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.
