The Ultimate HYBRID Skateboard Setup for 2021 

board looks really interesting, cool to see so many new and different shapes pop up lately!

I really loved this video! And it was suuper useful. Keep it up man!

The quality on ur videos are insane u deserve way more subs

Thank your the information love the videos

You need more subs. I see you are really comfortable on the camera. I still have this problem in my videos. Cheers Lewis. I enjoyed the video. :)

I'd be interested in a video on how it feels on a vert ramp and bowl! Looking at making a hybrid setup myself but am airing more on 58s vs 56s...but might go with 56s if you think they feel alright

Feel free to skip through, timestamps are in the description 🙂

First vid for me. Love it

Easily one of the most underrated youtubers

You really got some quality vids, which i am sure is a direct reflect of your character(quality) as a person. With that said... I really do hope you receive that which you hope for from all this. For that, i had to subscribe. Just keep true to yourself man and im sure things will work out how it should.

First video i found of yours! loved it and subscribed. Echo in the warehouse was a bit offputtting, might be worth getting a wireless lav mic for talking videos?

the copper looks sick! with money bumps!

I have a 8.75 welcome shaped board it’s wide where needed for transition but it’s light enough where it doesn’t feel heavy. I also use 99a spitfire 54mm conical literally the perfect wheel for street and transition with the perfect slide and perfect feel. I also have indys 159 but if you want it light get the hollow ones but I prefer a little heft on my board.

Good info

You're criminally underrated

Get videos! I've had 4 Madness setups, they are sick decks. I also use risers. With 56mm wheels you dont need both risers. You might try to just use the solid shock pads and you wont have the same stick out. I normally use 58mm wheels with a 1/8 shock pad but even with my 60mm bones wheels I don't get wheel bite.

Nice. I have been looking into making my board more of a hybrid by changing the wheels. Not sure if I’d need to change anything else. Any input or advice is much appreciated! I have an 8.25” Powell peralta Vallely deck, mini logo trucks with risers, 54mm bones stf wheels, and I forgot what the bearings are. I was thinking since I want to skate both street and park/transition that I’ll change the wheels to 56mm oj mini elite combos, and other than that will probably just change the bearings to bones red or bronsons g2 or g3. What do you think? Thanks

i ride becketts pro board 8.75 and their shapes are great, riding transition and street with it is great 🔥

97a formula is amazing! the oj nomad 95a are great for everything!

LOVE in depth setup videos like this. Subscribed. I don't want to be a negative Nancy here but personally I can't deal with those little knubs that stick out on the side of the deck. I had them on a Welcome Effigy shape and they get absolutely destroyed and crappy looking when your board lands on its side. Overall that setup looks incredible though, I can't wait to try a Madness deck.

Some risers have a front and a back to them, but I have some that stick out from underneath the trucks too. It will only matter for nose slides / tail slides if the rubber can make contact with whatever you are sliding onto I think, but in general shouldn't be an issue. I know the video is old, but just saying.

Hey bro, I believe thunders are pretty low compared to indys, like 51mm right? and with 56mm wheels? does that work? without riser or shock pads? I have my doubts tbh! what do you say?

Great Music choice dude! gives a better style to your video than generic EDM music from NCS we heard a trillion times.

Board looks sweet. Madness decks are so nice looking. Buy some shock pads with elongated holes. I just did because my Indie Shock Pads only fit my Indie trucks. But those with elongated holes will fit any truck.

what size is that mini quarter and what is the transition size you are messing around on in the testing setup timestamp?

Nice

You might try just the thin rubber risers - those hard plastic ones, not so good. And rubber ones, you can cut to fit, neatly. Rad setup still!

OMG U GOT MADNESS BOARD :DDDDDD

I could be wrong but I think you can just loosen your base plate bolts and shimmy the riser upwards 😅 like the set up though, I was rocking something very similar. Same slimes with a different madness deck

Love your videos. Check out DOOKS risers and shock pads , they fit my thunders great. I have a Beckett Madness but prefer Welcome boards made by PS Stix, great hybrid shapes and crisp lively feel to the wood. You might find a shape that does it all there. Aloha!

the biggest difference is going to be your timing of your pop and flip tricks depending on the wb you switched from.

Great video! I'm trying to get back into skateboarding in my 30s and imagine I'll be spending a bit more time doing park and transition. Does shoe size/height matter when it comes to deck size? I'm size 9 US and can't decide if I'd be better off with an 8.25 or 8.5 deck. Thanks for making these videos!

You should've used the shock pads and make extra holes for the thunders to fit right and then nothing would've stick out

What are the wheels called? I would like to buy it

Try out thunder risers instead, they'll fit better.

How did you level up to a private warehouse already?! That's the absolute dream! Another good vid man keep them going! Also I reckon you can get away with no risers on 56mm - although you skate your boards harder than I do...

is your transition setup have the same wb as your street setup or are you only sizing up the width?

Excuse me, thunders are good for vert and bowls too right?

risers dont fit well because you used indy risers with thunder trucks, i did the same thing lol. but I got some cork risers on ebay made for thunders and they fit perfect

Whats the deck on the left in the thumbnail?

I tried Indy shock pads and didn't like them at all. You can't tighten the bolts down properly. They mush out. I'm using 1/8" risers (hard plastic, not rubber) on my setup with 63mm cruiser wheels and Independent trucks. I prefer taller wheels and a riser at this point. I like the steeper angle for ollies. Tried a different setup without the risers and sharked the sh.. out of the side of my shin when my foot went over the nose.

How do you spell the brand of that deck? I’m not familiar with it

Hi Lewis, did you vert-test this board setup ?

I just use razor blades for cutting grip tape. Don't ruin an expensive knife like that. I use one blade per grip job because it gets instantly dulled. Though I cut my grip from the top, which I guess most people don't. I file around the edges with a round screwdriver first. Then, cut from the top with a razor blade right in the center of where it was filed. Usually comes out pretty decent.

I skate with riser pads, almost looks like you put them on backwards

I feel like hybrid would be not bad but not good like idk

raws dont collect dirt because they arent oiled. everyone who pops their shields need to soak their bearings in acetone to get the oil off the bearings so dirt wont stick inside the bearings.

I use thunder 169s on a 9.125 deck Im 14 🤣
