Matt Rodriguez Setup FAQ
What deck does Matt Rodriguez ride?
Matt Rodriguez rides a Stereo Skateboards 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 Stereo Skateboards deck through the buy links in the setup above.
What trucks does Matt Rodriguez use?
Matt Rodriguez 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 Matt Rodriguez ride?
Matt Rodriguez rides Paradise 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 bearings does Matt Rodriguez use?
Matt Rodriguez uses Lucky Bearings 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.
