Every component we suggest is one we’ve ridden, tested, and trusted.
Orangatang Wheels
These wheels are all about flow and confidence.
Designed to cover ground efficiently, the Orangatang wheel is built for speed retention, comfort, and consistent roll over uneven pavement.
Its balanced shape and offset bearing seat help maintain momentum with fewer pushes, while the wide contact patch delivers stable, predictable traction across cracked asphalt, sidewalk seams, and uneven urban surfaces. Carefully tuned urethane absorbs vibration and returns energy smoothly, reducing fatigue over longer rides.
Why use them
- Smooth roll over rough urban pavement
- Efficient speed retention for distance riding
- Predictable grip without feeling sluggish
Bones Reds Bearings
Bones Reds are a standard for a reason. They just work.
They’re fast out of the box, durable over time, and easy to maintain. Whether you’re riding daily routes or covering longer urban distances, Reds deliver consistent roll without the fuss or hype.
Why use them
- Smooth, reliable speed
- Long-lasting performance
- Trusted by skaters across every discipline
They’re built to keep you moving — block after block.
Set them and forget them — exactly how bearings should be.
Paris V3 Trucks
The Paris V3 trucks are a well-balanced match for all deck shapes and sizes, delivering stable tracking and predictable control for urban travel and longer rides.
The hanger offers a confident stance without excess width, helping maintain efficiency and consistency over uneven pavement, sidewalk seams, and real-world road conditions. Built with Paris V3 geometry and construction, these trucks deliver the strength and durability needed for daily riding while maintaining a composed, reliable ride at speed.
Why use them
- Consistent, predictable turning on city streets
- Durable construction for daily riding and long-term use
- Stable feel at speed without sacrificing maneuverability
These trucks do exactly what they’re supposed to do — respond when you need them to, and disappear when you don’t.
Riser Pads
These riser pads aren’t optional on the setup; they’re essential.
Paris Riser Pads fit the baseplate of Paris Trucks like a glove. Don’t buy a square riser and have your pivot cup with a gap between the board and the baseplate.
Why use them
- PERFECT FIT — Designed to fit flawlessly with Paris Trucks
- STRONG & DURABLE — The hard dense material provides the lift without the squish.
- ANGLED RIGHT — The 7° angle is perfect to give your trucks just the right amount of added turned
They’re a small component that makes a big difference.
Built as a System
Each component is chosen to work together, not in isolation:
- Large soft wheels for flow
- Proven bearings for consistency
- Dialed trucks for stable, predictable control
- Trusted brand grip tape for confident footing
- Proper riser height for clearance and longevity
This isn’t a random parts list — it’s a dialed setup, refined through real riding on city streets and in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
