Why I need 3 different board setups at all times

- A friend of mine recently saw a pile of my skate stuff and asked what each of my various boards are for. That inspired me to make a video about it :)
What about you? How many setups do you have, and what are each of them for?
FYI about some of the terms in this video:
"825 shop deck" means the board width is 8.25 inches (that's usually the most important thing when you ask what "size" your board is). Instead of saying "eight point two five inches", people just say "eight two five". "Shop deck" just means that the board is branded with a skate shop's name, instead of the name of a skate company.
"99A" and "78A" are durometers, which measure how hard the wheel is. Higher number means harder. Harder wheels slide, softer wheels are good for rough streets.
"Hollows" are trucks that are hollow in some areas, which makes the truck lighter, which supposedly lets you spend less energy popping tricks.

Details on each of the 3 boards in this video:
Didn't know having multiple boards was a thing. I've been skating for 10 years, and I've always used 1 board for everything haha
3 is literally the magic number haha, 1 for cruising and 1 for tricks are essential
"I have 1 board I bring along with the rest of my boards just so I can scoot sideways for a second."
For me it’s nice to have a rain set up so on days when it’s wet but not soaking I can still skate and not worry about ruining my dry board
I always try to do this but I always end up giving my extra boards to someone in need.
always good to have a primary board and then some sort of cruiser board
I have 2 setups, one is indys hollow forged with bones wheels and bearings, 8.0 board and the other is thunders hollows lights with spitfire and bronsons bearings, 8.25 board. One setup is a preferred nice setup, the other is just to skate and destroy. 😂
I have one primary deck with hard duro wheels, i have a second primary with softer whees for riding the rough streets and a older deck for riding to work. So three decks is just about right lol
All those boards busted af
longboard: 👌👁️🫦👁️👌
Now that i think of it, i could definitely use a cruiser board, i only have one skateboard rn but a cruiser board sounds pretty sweet
Just got my first set up after 10 years of not skating. Finally getting back into it. Got a Baker 8.25, 144 independent trucks(can’t remember the series) and formula 4 spitfire wheels. Absolutely amazing set up!
The sentence you've said about those journeys with your cruiser board was just beautiful description of why the cruising = freedom 🙏🏻
Literally just started skating today and this is already in my recommended
My favorite set up over the winter was a 9.5 mile Vallely mammoth re-issue with 63mm 78a wheels. I could explore every part of the city
I have 3 bored’s a skateboard/cruiser/longboard and I love them all ❤
I've learned how to modify Walmart boards so that they are equivalent to professional boards. For this reason, I have 42 decks for whatever reasons I want. If you want to learn how to modify Walmart decks and make them nearly indestructible it's not too difficult to do... If you don't mind making them a little bit more heavy than they come out of the box, here is how you do it using the following steps:
2 is what I got. One board to commute to work every morning/bombing hills and one to do (try) tricks. I suck at the last one
I'm usually the same and when a board setup starts to wear, I usually keep an eye out for a kid skating on toothpicks and splinters to gift the setup to before its done for, he will prob stretch its life out longer than I would at that point anyways, and it keeps the kids stoked on the scene. 😁🍻
