Features
Freestyle - Freestyle is all about expression so you'll see a wide variety of flex, shape and length in this category. If you have longboard dancing and flat-ground trick goals, you're on the right page.
Top Mount - The classic skate mount. Trucks are mounted from the top to sit flush with the bottom of the board for that proven ride and feel.
Paris 180mm Trucks - The Paris 180mm is the all-around and perfect any terrain truck. These are able to handle anything and everything you could possibly throw at them. The 180mm hanger is the perfect go-to size for most decks and compliments all riding styles. Like all Paris Trucks, the baseplate angle is 50 degrees, which provides the perfect balance between stability and maneuverability.
Double Kicks - With a kicktail at the nose and tail of the board, ollies and flip tricks will become part of your arsenal. Double kicks are most often found on freestyle boards, but can add versatility to any skateboard.
Orangatang Stimulus 70mm Wheels - The Stimulus wheels are designed for freeriding and are grippy when needed with consistent slide characteristics - a great all-around wheel. Featuring an offset design and a relatively wide contact patch for grip. Rounded inner and outer lips with stiff flex for clean slide initiation and smooth, chatter-free slides. 70mm is the best size for quick acceleration and enhanced control.
Colors/Durometers as follows:
Orange: 80a (Buttery and Cushy)
Purple: 83a (Slideable and Grippy)
Yellow: 86a (Nice and Slideable)
Note: Wheels equipped shown in color name (Ex:"silver trucks / orange hi-grade wheels")
Rocker - Rocker decks are great for both downhill and freeride. You'll feel snug and secure on a rocker profile and is especially useful for freeride beginners.
Directional - Directional decks may have a dramatically asymmetrical shape or just a slight taper which can be great for anything from mild cruising to intense downhill; but of course it's all just preference.
Loaded Jehu 608zz Precision Bearings - Designed for speed and durability, these bearings were developed and tested for the rigors of performance longboarding.
Speed gel lubricant designed for durability and exceptional free spin characteristics out of the box.
Interior step ring to maintain constant lubrication.
Super finish for extra smooth precision.
Adjustable Wheelbase - A board with an adjustable wheelbase will have multiple truck mounting positions so you can find what exact wheelbase works best for you. Move your axles in for quicker pop, increased agility, higher traction, and lower swing weight; move them out for greater stability and more lean.
Cutouts - Cutouts around the wheels provide the extra space required to prevent wheelbite.
W-Concave - Added concave in the shape of a W, meaning the sides are raised as well as a slight hump in the middle of the platform. This gives you a little more support where your toes/heels will anchor for slides making this a common choice for freeride.
Custom Pre-Grip - This board comes pre-gripped from Loaded with an aggressive black griptape designed to provide maximum coverage while allowing the board to flex naturally, providing enhanced traction and control for sliding and pumping, as well as creating a serious "lock-in" on the nose and tail.
Tesseract Riding Tips - The 3.5° wedging angle of the Tesseract allows for a wide range of interesting hardware configurations. A truck with a lower kingpin angle (below 45°) works in symmetry with the wedging angle to provide a versatile balance of lean and turn with a low ride height.
A truck with a higher kingpin angle (above 45°) works best with a soft 3-4° wedged riser to simultaneously preserve the steering geometry and damp vibrations.
