Colin McKay Setup FAQ
What deck does Colin McKay ride?
Colin McKay rides a Plan B Lil' Buddies 8.25 deck in a 8.25" width as of 2026. Deck choice is the single biggest factor in a pro's setup — width affects stance and stability, while concave and construction drive pop and flick. You can shop the same Plan B Lil' Buddies 8.25 deck through the buy links in the setup above.
What trucks does Colin McKay use?
Colin McKay uses Independent Trucks Stage 11 139 trucks in size 139. Trucks determine how a skateboard turns and how it lands grinds, and pros typically match hanger width to deck width for proper alignment. Most pro skaters stick with one truck brand for years once they have the feel dialed in.
What shoes does Colin McKay skate in?
Colin McKay skates in DC Shoes. 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.
