The Vanguard is all new for 2006! Loaded has replaced the popluar Oak laminate with a new and improved vertically laminated Bamboo deck. Contruction has been upgraded with higher quality resins and fiberglass to give you a more lively and virtually indestructable deck.
Super Strong, lightweight, and sexy, these lively composite boards offer the finest ride legally available. Advanced technologies, innovative design, and a commitment to using only the finest ingredients have led to the evolution of skateboarding. With symmetrical shape and stance for a balanced center of gravity, as well as the ability to weigh and un-weigh the deck through turns for control and efficient energy generation, these performance downhill boards will change the way you experience topography. Made in USA
Comes in four flexes: - Flex 1 (175 - 230+lbs)
- Flex 2 (150 - 210+lbs)
- Flex 3 (150-200 lbs)
- Flex 4 (120-170 lbs)
- Flex 5 (80-140 lbs)

Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: 7 monthsWhat is your setup like?: Flex 2, randal 180mm, 76mm gum balls 81aTypical Session Discipline: Dancing, Sliding, and a little bombingHow much did you pay?: $170Where did you purchase it?: loadedboards.comWhat were the strengths of the deck.: The deck helps you to carve unlike any other deck iv been on, and it makes sliding really fun and pretty easy for the most part. Plus its a really sharp looking board.What were the weaknesses?: If you go any faster then 30-35 the deck craps out on you and looses a lot of its stability.Would you recommend it?:
Yes

Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: About one yearWhat is your setup like?: Gullwing Sidewinders, Otang InHeat wheels, rush bomber bearings.Typical Session Discipline: point A to point B, slidingWhat were the strengths of the deck.: Flexible, thrashworthy, springy, absorbs bumps, durable, lightweight, beautiful graphic. Really flexy.What were the weaknesses?: Clear griptape wears off real quick. When this occurs, add your own. Also, flex may inhibit hippie jumps, especially if you way more than 150 lbs.

Yes

Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: about a yearWhat is your setup like?: Paris 180s with venom eliminator 90a, abec11 noskools, and dbs abec 7 bearingsTypical Session Discipline: cruising, downhill carving, sliddingHow much did you pay?: $100Where did you purchase it?: got it from my friendWhat were the strengths of the deck.: ultra-light weight and I highly recommend getting one flex stiffer than what you would need because it will provide you the same carving and pumpability with far more stability. this board takes a real beatingWhat were the weaknesses?: as can be expected, the clear grip wears away really quick so definitely have sheet of grip on hand or you can throw some vicious grip on there when you get the thing and never have to worry about grip again ;D.Similar decks you have ridden?: loaded dervish, Original custom 35 and apex 37Would you recommend it?:
Yes
