Title: Chris J Set up for the TOTY
Post by: PatrickO on December 10, 2025, 05:27:50 PM
Anyone want to list Joslin's Trucks and shoes as he flies down the 20 stairs of fame with the board doing a 360 degree spin in two directions?

He uses 8.38 with indy mids, 52mm Bones wheels V1 shape

I think the shoes are Lakai Telford?

I doubt he’s still riding the mids still only because that video was released when they were still newish and they’ve faded out of style

Alright, you got me

You can see here from SLS Santa Monica, I am fairly sure Chris is back on Titaniums or just Forged Hollows, because the kingpin is hollow and I am pretty sure Mids only come with an Allen Key drive option.

That’s kinda like asking what was Danny Way’s mega ramp setup lol.

id say for him its pretty big, cause he is a pretty small guy. but in general its nothing crazy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vb-UGAUg0RY

Bob Burnquist Mega Ramp Setup - he wasnt sure the width, he said "probably 8.5" with super long WB, and indy 215s
this is from 13 years ago tho but i think it still holds up. i think 215s is a little much but anything over 8.75" seems standard and maybe others are riding this width still.

Don’t think he used titaniums for el toro, would be crazy though

If I remember right bachinsky used a 7.5 setup for his el toro kickflip

Shameful that I know, but CJ has consistently been rocking forged hollow or forged titanium. He only rode mids for that marketing piece, but never again (according to footage I've seen)

Bummed he did it in shitty (new version) Lakai instead of Etnies. Etnies could use this breath of life from being attached to Joslin's el toro (and his other clips) but such is life

Indy Forged Hollow (or Tits) 144 (or 149, but probably 144)
Bones V1 (or V2 I think)
Bones Swiss bearings most likely
Plan B 8.38"
Mob Grip

I'd bet folding money that he's on TRT (due to Way).

Pretty sure he rides 149s. I'm curious if he's on x-formula or regs STFs for that tho.

149 titaniums
Title: Re: Chris J Set up for the TOTY
Post by: rawbertson. on December 12, 2025, 08:31:11 AM
so i guess titaniums are good enough for drops after all
Title: Re: Chris J Set up for the TOTY
Post by: swongolianbbq on December 12, 2025, 02:34:59 PM
He said in that route one interview that he broke a truck on one setup, then broke a truck on another setup, so he took the remaining two unbroken trucks off and set those up, only to break a third truck.... then asked rhino if he could get back on Indy cause ventures clearly couldn't withstand his bullshit

The El Toro 3 flip is a really good advertisement for Indy titaniums, especially after that bad batch. People were snapping axles left and right, and subsequently snapping axles on the replacement sets Indy sent them... If Joslin was riding one of those sets for El Toro he could've gotten seriously injured and there would be footage of indys exploding, so, they must feel pretty fuckin confident in their new run of titanium axles

I'ma stick to standards tho, and if I feel like throwing an extra 50 bucks at my setup I'll get a basalt deck

Ti hangers on standard plates sounds good but then you gotta spend even more just for a little bit of lightness

You know hella kids got Ti 149s on their Christmas list right now tho

I'm pretty sure they make you heal faster and they can be considered a performance enhancer. Unfortunately, the side effects are fucked so it comes at a cost.

Yes sure. But why not do a cycle whenever you are recovering from an injury then? Also, he doesn't have that much muscle mass. At 27 if you lift hard a few times per week while skating alot you will look like that.

yeah I saw that Lakai posted that video after I posted this. Now we need to learn how many insoles he rides with. The people of the future will need to know this stuff.

I think Indy posted that he was skating 149 Forged Titanium’s. Also saw Grizzly reposted the clip so not sure if that means he was using their grip or not.
