Compatible Truck Sizes
For a 10.0" deck like the Santa Cruz Kendall Pumpkin Reissue, the truck axle width should closely match the deck width for optimal performance. Only Independent Trucks and Venture Trucks are included:
-
Independent Trucks:
-
Size 169 (10.0" axle width): Perfect match for 10.0" decks, offering maximum stability for pool and vert skating.
-
Size 159 (8.75" axle width): Narrower but compatible, providing a more agile feel for park skating.
-
-
Venture Trucks:
-
Size 6.1 (8.75" axle width): Compatible but narrower, best for skaters prioritizing maneuverability over stability.
-
Note: Venture does not offer a 10.0" axle width, so Independent 169 is the best match for stability.
-
-
General Guideline: Trucks with a 10.0" axle width (Independent 169) are the best match for this deck, while 8.75" trucks (Independent 159 or Venture 6.1) offer a narrower stance for agility.
Preferred Wheel Sizes
The 10.0" Santa Cruz Kendall Pumpkin Reissue deck’s wide, shaped design supports larger wheel sizes suited for pool, vert, and cruising:
-
56-58mm: Ideal for park and hybrid street/transition skating, balancing speed and grip for carving and technical tricks.
-
58-60mm: Best for pools, ramps, and skateparks, offering faster rolls and momentum for smooth rides over rough surfaces.
-
60-62mm: Suited for cruising or heavy transition skating, maximizing speed and stability in bowls.
-
General Guideline: For a 10.0" deck, 58-60mm wheels are most popular for pool and park setups, while 56-58mm wheels suit mixed terrain. Opt for softer wheels (80A-83A) for grip in bowls and harder wheels (83A or higher) for smoother surfaces.
