PJ Ladd Setup FAQ

What deck does PJ Ladd ride?

PJ Ladd rides a Flip 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 Flip Skateboards deck through the buy links in the setup above.

What trucks does PJ Ladd use?

PJ Ladd uses Venture 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 PJ Ladd ride?

PJ Ladd rides Bones 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 PJ Ladd skate in?

PJ Ladd skates in New Balance. 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 PJ Ladd use?

PJ Ladd uses Bones 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.
