What trucks does Riley Hawk use?

What wheels does Riley Hawk ride?
Riley Hawk 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 Riley Hawk skate in?
Riley Hawk skates in Adidas. 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.
