What's Chris Cole's Board Setup?!
#Skateboarding #Podcast #Interview SandC 
Развлечения
I remember working as a bike messenger in Philadelphia in 1999-2000. I was at Love Park, and had my bike hanging from a tree by the seat at the top of the fountain. Chris was there for a photo shoot, and was hitting a bench down the first stair set to the side. I felt like I was in the way so I offered to move and take my bike out of the tree. The photographer stopped me and said the bike was "the whole shot." A few weeks later, I was looking at a skate mag in Rittenhouse Square, and there was my bike in a sequence. I felt like I had made it lol.
glad to hear dude, but, you have that pic? +))
@@viniciuslima9068 Sadly, no. I thought about stealing the magazine from the Barnes and Noble, but I guess I'm too honest even for my own vanity.
@@crzes9702 hahaha its ok dude, great to know that! =)
Sick, I regret making a big effort to get out of frames, now it sucks seeing nostalgic photos knowing you're standing 2 feet outta shot
@@DARRENTINOnz I was there the day Kalis tre flipped the trash can. I almost made his "Truth" shoebox cover, but i got up because my homie had beer. Ryan Gee was standing right behind the can shooting stills, and they edited him out of the photo. lol. Fun fact.
Why is Kelly only either seemingly confused with a legitimate look of terror on his face or laughing hysterically?
Lmfaooooo
My first deck at 14 was a 7.5 zero/chris cole deck. The zero team was the reason I started skating.
Always good to hear from a pro who rides tight trucks. I tried loosening up recently, and it's just not for me.
Same with Andy Anderson, Jagger Eaton, both super tight trucks.
@@neuralblissLMAO the 2 pioneers of good style huh?
I think it’s true that loose trucks are important for good style.
Look at the people with the best style super loose.
It’s needed for that kind of carving and street surfing smooth movement.
This is the best "Board Setup" video out of the whole playlist.
Need more like this one.
Thank you for the video!
Chris Cole set up;
Deck- 8.5
Trucks- thunder high, 149 , with bones hard bushings
Wheels- 52 wide
Bearings- bones Swiss with no shields
Ok thank
No bearing spacers, triangle drawn on a spot a switch heel would cover up (back foot of regular stance).
Tight trucks! with a slightly looser front truck
What about them 7/8 Allen though
What’s the wheelbase?
I'm a tight truck guy. Wheel bite a big reason.
I hate it when you get called names for skating tight. So over the years I did skate loose.
@@Mystninja for real. all my friends keep telling me to loosen them
@@PhaseSkater tbh I change my truck tention. More then I change my socks.
But Height and truck size have alot even board size have alot to do with how your trucks feel. Even temperature.
@@PhaseSkater I'm 6'1 7
68kg and US10 shoe.
I ride 7.75. Thunder 145 mainliners with hardcore bones mid bushing. Kingpin nut is just at the nylon. 52mm 101a wheels no riser.
Then my crusier board is a 8.88 Indy titanium 149 with hardcore bones hards. Kingpin nut at the nylon give or take one turn up or down. And globe 60mm 80a Longboard wheels 3mm rubber riser.
Too different rides for too different styles. Same rider.
@@Mystninja 6'1'' and size 10 shoe? geex must be hard to balance
Best setup video yet. While Chris is obviously speaking only from his experience he expresses it in a way that's flexible and valuable for other skates. Kudos.
Chris: *explains where the triangle is on his board*
Kelly and crob:
Chris: the only time my foot is on it is on a switch heelflip
Kelly and crob: OOOHHHHHH GOTCHA
Love watching a 25 minute video on a board setup. I run 8.5 decks usually with Indy TI 149's and Bones Hards, tight as well. What a trip. Crazy thing is my current setup is a 8.5" Cole Plan B P2 deck I had sitting and this video came out...I love it. Good to see him on here. Dude rips and is a legend!
The fact that he brought up Randy Rhoads got me so hyped.
Real Talk!!!
Fully!
Facts
I sent the clip to Randy & gave him the time stamp. He still trips out when ppl bring his name up in 2020. How, you ask? Its a long ass story (ive written a book about all of it) but it starts here..
worlditc . org
ITC- Instrumental Transdimensional Communication
Its real & its AMAZING!
Lana rhoads brother ?
I love that thefes an explanation for every part of the skateboard thats so rad
He said it’s all wheel drive 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What a very nice and real conversation about skateboarding 🛹! Totally awesome!
Totally agree about the trucks, so important. Once I've got mine broken in and just right I never touch them if I can help it 👍😊
About the spacers. 100% put them in. They're a pain to get them to work properly but it's so worth it. They need to be very slightly wider than the wheel core, if not use a very thin speed washer to widen them inside the wheel. Tighten the wheel nut snug all the way down, hand tight but don't go crazy as you will deform the bearing race and they'll slow and click and pop. This is why it's so worth it. Because the assembly is now a solid unit your truck axle is now around 12mm thick as apposed to being 8mm. You're much less likely bend an axle now. The bearings will be held in perfect alignment and last forever and roll free and faster due to zero side loading slowing them down. No more axle slip ever!!! The only negative is your board will sound different. Like mutated and quiet and very smooth but after a few weeks I got used to it. The wheel should still spin just as free as when the nut is loose. You will have a faster, more efficient board.
Skating is a lot about the feedback you get from the board. Half the pleasure in riding is hearing the acoustics of a skateboard. Absolutely savage wheel screech from a fat powerslide or a tail slide on transition is something i cant ever give up. If it means i need bearings every 3 months or so then so be it. Even the sound of popping the board up into your hand and throwing down.
Tight trucks with shortys dohdoh rock hards on an 8.5. It does not limit my turning at all, if I wanna turn I turn. The stability and control just seems so much more apparent.
used to see chris cole at the tiny little skate spot at the yardley kennels right by my house when I was really young. Everyone knew he was going to be huge back then.
I love when we talk strictly skateboarding!
There’s so much to learn and absorb lolol
word
Trucks always super tight..front looser than the back, I like them tight the back truck stable..I ride 55s, been skating an 8.25 since 96..my first board was a girl Jovante turner, blue and orange..stereo and real had the best shapes back in the day 96 ish
I ride super tight trucks because it takes away an axis of balance, so I focus on the trick and not the balance. Tricks come out cleaner as well. I also I skate with on my tail, and nollie and fakie from the nose. But no one really cares.
gunna go crank my trucks now and take some laps around the block
Really good episode, guys. Very informative. Two very quick things. One: I believe in spacers and always have. Two: it’s a fine solution but instead of taking my trucks apart to sprinkle graphite powder in my pivot cup I spray WD-40, another lock lubrication product, in the pivot cup
Wd-40 is not a good product for plastics. Spray silicone lubricant would be optimal. Have to clean up any excess for sake of debris collecting.
ive always heard and tried recently small amount of wax either wax for skating or off a candle, i tried it recently one of my pivot cups is a little noisy i put a tiny bit in it and it made it completey go away, but it came back but not nearly as bad. Ive heard of alot of things tbh, ive never heard graphite tho this is ltierally the first time ive heard anyone say that lmao. WD-40 is like the morons liquid to loosen anything up, it shouldnt be used like that. It probably will dry out and mess up the eruthane the cups are made out of. Ur better off using wax honestly
just use wax lmao
Another small fact you can take graphite dust and lubricate your bearings with it. Also you can clean your bearings with carburetor cleaner, you can also balance your deck with lead tape with your board balanced on the tip of a nail, yes I do all of this .no I'm not mad. Been skating for 23 years
Been thinking about the use of graphite/dry film for bearings. Fill in the micro surface abrasion.
I'd love to see a theories compilation vid!
Yeee
I skate my trucks pretty tight. The only reason I'm a little careful with tightening them too much is I don't want them to break or the kingpin or whatever.
The board in the thumbnail was my first skateboard I ever got, at least that I remember. I might have had a walmart board before hand but I was so young I can't remember. I got Chris Coles pro model when I was about 5
shave some wax into the pivot cup to stop it squeaking
auto grease baby
This actually works the best
Oh shit, thanks
@10:22...coolest guitar ever made imo. Plays like a dream too!
"because the thing doesn't do the thing, but your mind does do the thing because your body has the thing on it" chaos magic
Love when they theyre a nut for specificity
Chris Cole was like the best skater on earth for at least a couple years when I was skating growing up nobody had parts like him
That's the best nine club setup video he explained every aspect of every part
I skateboarded a long while on loose trucks but I'm gonna go middle ground, I just don't land anything or like once or twice
Ive always skated tight trucks..i feel like the pop is better...I have way more control
No typa pinch tho
I've shaved soap into my pivot cups and they never squeaked again
Do you live somewhere is stays warm year round ? Just wondering if the soap changes with the weather..
Soap bar.
Rub it on the hangers where the bushings and pivot cup are.
With the soap bar the more girly crap that's in it the better.
And if you take a soap bar skating it's good wax that washers away.
I'm tight trucks all the way. Wheel bite bad, I'm on the heavier side. I too ride my front truck looser than the back, but probably not as loose as Cole does.
Love these vids, keep it up!
Don't stop selling those 8.25 twin tails Chris. Love the shape and kicks. Give me some wild graphics and I'm in forever
Tight trucks!!
Always & forever the sickest style
Cole is totally right...one hundred percent..takes longer to get tricks but it gives you the best consistancy..bolts.
About the loose trucks being your ankle tight for my experience i rode tight trucks before i got so many ankle injury but now i ride loose trucks i haven't had a ankle problem maybe its just me tho. Loose trucks saves life for me. 🤙🏼
lol we used to sell power balance bracelets at the skatepark and I’d see ppl with them on both wrists and both ankles
I can totally feel the difference on the spacer tho.. it keeps the bearings locked so you can powerslide. they'll wobble around in there without it and you'll get a really weird lean like if your tie rod blows out on a car.
also the adidas dennis busenitz have that heel guard that basically is a bearing spacer stabilizer. so
@@typerightseesight Hi. can you explain that? what does the heelguard do with the bearings
@@henrikfjellheimhansen6669 your mother
@@typerightseesight Dude i asked you a normal question and thats how you reply. btw i watched your videos.. seems like you escaped from a mental hospital..
@@henrikfjellheimhansen6669 thanks, henrik.
If there's any truth to that ankle theory then that explains why my ankles are starting to deteriorate at 29
Mine took a shit on me 15 years ago. At 30.
ive been skating tighter trucks for 30 plus years. im 49. my ankles are fine.
@@CoreyJames-ed7oe do you find you just generally roll your ankles less than your friends that skate loose trucks? I'm just realising now that I skate the loosest trucks out of my homies and I roll my ankles way more than them
My trucks were tight and when I would roll off my ankle would do exactly like he said it would just roll it never sprained it cause it wasn’t tensed up I rode a loose truck board and can feel I tighten my ankles to keep the board balanced
It’s makes sense you know your most likely to tear something that’s tensed up
Another fix for if you have squeaky trucks is to just take them apart and cover each piece in a little bit of wax at the contact points. So pivot cup, and each bushing and where they touch the truck.
Never heard the graphite powder squeky pivot cup trick before... another trick is to put a few small shards of parrafin wax into the pivot cup.
Just put this on doing things listening with Bluetooth so it took me almost 14 minutes to realize they put that mic up to the screen for him like he was there. Hilarious. That's points for whoever thought of that one.
Best "inside baseball" video I've ever seen?!?!!!
I ride super tight too. I've never had wheel bite or seriously injured my ankle. I can't ride loose for the same reasons.
I don’t think that’s how it works... if your ankle has tension then it offers more resistance to rolling and tearing your ligaments... I think skating loose trucks makes the stabilizing muscles in your ankles work constantly, thus preventing injury. Just my opinion, not a doctor by any means. Extrapolated this “theory” from watching BrianMD sports injury videos lol
I love listening to this guy talking about skateboarding
I know I'm a couple of years late but you can also use paraffin wax on your bushings and pivot cap to eliminate the squeakiness.
Chris Cole is a board wizard lol
I usually go between 8.25-8.5 149 trucks and 54mm wheels and it’s perfect. Now I’m just going back to 8.5
I also ride very tight trucks. I was recently ridiculed for it by my local shop owner. I just don’t feel any stability with loose trucks.
I've always skated tight trucks.. but went to medium a few years ago.. but I mean if you loosen them, you might as well go full bore and ride them how they come. LOOSE. took me a few years to finally commit.
Here's a good question for him.. Thunders come with one truck a lightning bolt and one a triple line emblem.. Which one does he put up front? The lightning bolt? I'm goofy so I keep it under my front heel.
They don't come like that anymore, that was a while back
@@zacherynoland8395 noway! I thought the original model stil does and the team model doesnt have the bolt anymore. crazy. ill rebuild this spring and make a newer version.
I ride boards from 8-8.25 but for some reason I'm always running 8.25 trucks, my 139s or my 5.2s (indy and ventures) just don't feel right to me, i like 144s with bones buschings or 5.6 ventures with stock buschings i actually prefer ventures these days
139 and 5.2 are too low.
@@puma0210 depends on your wheels they don't bother me on 52mm or smaller. Honestly I don't even notice after skating a setup like that for an hour or so
I actually don't think there any lower unless you specifically buy lows in those axle sizes maybe like a mm or 2 then 144s but we all skated 139s or smaller in the early 2000s, fucking tensor lows and shit lol
Also bones speed cream in the pivot cups makes them quiet and smooth
You can save yourself money and just use a little dab of Vaseline
@@CarsCatAliens I already had a bottle of speed cream in my toolbox so I gave it a go and it’s silky smooth lol wax works also
The ankle thing makes so much sense
If you have tight in back and loose in front you get the best of both worlds.
Woah I’ve been busy with school and haven’t watched in a little while, did jeron take rogers spot or something lol
My trucks are a little more on the loose side, and I roll my ankles a lot. But I hate tight trucks, feels like I can barely turn with them
put a little bit of wax shavings in your pivot cups
Tight trucks for me especially nose grinds and 50-50 I feel I a lot more in control
Hey chris, remember when you skated umass amherst years ago... me and my freinds saw you getting food at subway downtown amherst... remember?
ahhhhhhhhh tahts what i do loose front not so loose in the back
same here
Doesn't it fuck you up when turning after you do a shuv it? Then it's tight in the front and loose in the back. I imagine it'd be annoying to constantly have to switch your nose and tail around just to ride comfortably
@@raiylab 1 name "Daewon"
Same
btw you can sprinkle sum wax small pieces instead the graphite powder
This is one of the first comments Ive left on anyone’s video. Chris is MUTHA FUCKIN RIGHT!!!!!! Tight trucks lose ankles your ankle with bounce back. Lose trucks tight ankles. That’s yo ass Mr.postman!!! Rolled ankle!!!
This is perfect.
Is that the mark gonzales flip book lol
Chris Cole reminds me of the John Wick of skateboarding lol
Legend.
Tight truck gang baby!
just scooped that ZERO Tommy Sandoval Grim Reefer board. Had to!
7:45 Although the thing doesn’t do the thing but your mind does do the thing because it has the thing on it.
I mean I skate tight trucks because my flicking ankle just is as strong as it used to be and it’s only just way more support
Chris Cole is the man
spacer saves your bearings by pinching the bearing race together thus your bearing spins proper .. doesnt stop your axles slipping at all !
It will help reduce the chances of axle slip if you do the wheel nuts up snug.
@@MrWookieewonder true might reduce , but in 30 years of running spacers and snug nuts .. crap trucks will still slip . axle should never slip even when u grinding through it . never had a indy slip since like stage 6's ? older indys slipped.
This is so good
It was going well until Chris started thinking that only his front trucks turn on a board like a car lol. When you lean to either side of the board, both trucks are going to turn. Then there are kick turns on your back trucks to consider as well.
@ 13:18 Kelly demonstrates his rain man like 411 knowledge
For squeaky trucks all you gotta do is put a little wax on the top and bottom of your bushings.
Chris cole is the 🐐
I've always ridden with tight trucks, never understood why anyone would ride with loose trucks. But then again, I suck at skateboarding too lol.
5:55 lol
The Zero💀 legend
Randy Rhoads flying V is indeed a bad ass guitar!
doesnt want to catch the board on the way up? ANDREW REYNOLDS HAS ENTERED THE CHAT!
::FUN FACT::: If you just scroll and scan titles, 8/10 times you will read "Chris Cole Beard setup" I was like, I guess thats cool? Wonder if dollar shave club is the sponsor for it
Wow loose front trucks and tighter back ones... I’ve been doing it wrong the whole time 🤦🏼♂️
Same bro. Been doing it wrong my whole life. 😅
Chris Cole 8.5 deck 8.5 trucks,
Jamie Thomas 8.5 deck 8.75 trucks,
Andrew Reynolds 8.5 deck 8.25 trucks, used to be 8" trucks before 144's came out.
Jim Greco 8.5 deck 139 trucks
I feel like spitfires get flattened out so easily, if anyone skates 52 spitfires can u tell me if they got smaller over time, ive only ever skated bones 52s
My conical fulls (52mm, 99A) have lost a millimetre a month so far. Mainly due to only skating street at the moment and a pretty rough flat ground spot.
When I was always skating at a park they would last way longer. 🕺🏻
Still my favourite wheel tho!
Try the formula four, best wheel ever
Skated regular spitfire 52s years ago and they were shit. Wore down too easily. I recently got some formula fours and they’re really good
Ima a Darewon truck guy as loose as they go without the bolt falling off
"Think" boards... Flashbacks.
I always skate tight truck as well.. better balance..
When did people start skating bigger boards? 8.5, 8.6, I never heard of that
I'm pretty sure you could also just put some vegetable oil on there to make them less squeaky
