    Focused on functionally driven innovation, Loaded is dedicated to constant rethinking, researching, and experimenting. We’ve experienced the soulful beauty of riding and want to pass on the stoke. To that end we are dedicated to putting out the best possible rides we can and we stand behind every board we build.

    Camber and Flex
    The camber between the trucks is a large part of the locomotion of the board and absorbs vibrations for increased control. Pre-cambering the board results in a specific amount of potential energy imbedded in the board. Flattening out the camber when standing on the board implies that pressures equal to the rider weight are pressing back up creating a ‘dynamically loaded’ board.

    Snap & turning a high performance Longboard
    When you initiate a turn and apply weight to the board, it de-cambers & builds up energy to rebound back into its original position (think physics). When you complete your turn, the board snaps back into it's original, cambered shape and helps you accelerate out of the turn- ala snap.

    Loaded Skateboards have camber like a snowboard. This camber gives these decks tons of snap, allowing you to weight the board into a carve & accelerate out of a turn as you unweight & de-camber the board.

    Softer flex patterns equal more control and tighter turns at a wide range of speeds, but tends to lose stability slightly at higher speeds. Stiffer flex equals more energy potential and more stability at higher speeds, but is not as forgiving and lively when cruising.

    Longboard Review
    How long have you ridden the board: about 6 months
    What is your setup like?: paris 150's, 81a grippins and bones reds.
    Typical Session Discipline: just cruisin mostly, but you can do anything with it
    How much did you pay?: $250
    Where did you purchase it?: DBS
    What were the strengths of the deck.: the board is both light and strong, making it ideal for guys who don't want to lug around 20 pounds. The ride is great and you can make the board do anything.

    And the board is sure to be an eye catcher, so dont forget to show it off to the ladies

    this board is for the all around rider who wants to dabble in all felds of riding especially carving. i learnd on this board and it taught me to become a more stable rider at speeds even on a shorter board. It can tackle anything from bowls, small hills, parking lots and streets. I recomend this board to a person who wants to have only one board to screw around on as it can shred it all.
    Longboard Review

    What is your setup like?: paris 150, sisemic hot spot 69mm 80 duro, bone swiss super 6
    Typical Session Discipline: carving, light hills. parking garages
    How much did you pay?: hmm iv invested around 280-300 total in my setup
    Where did you purchase it?: black daimond sports
    What were the strengths of the deck.: the way i have it set up...it carves like a cloud. It turns alot better and sharper then the vanguard and is alot more lively. its great to cruse on and lively yet stable at low speeds. THIS BOARD IS KING IN PARKING LOTS!! ive also used it for bowl riding and is quite nice as you can pump the board
    What were the weaknesses?: At high speeds it becomes some what twichy and over responsive if you dont carve...to some however this might be a plus side...i personally like a over responsive deck (thats it...

    Typical Session Discipline: DISTANCE!, some pumping and flip tricks but mostly boardwalking
    How much did you pay?: 150 for deck, 255 total
    Where did you purchase it?: local shop in eugene, oregon called boardsports
    What were the strengths of the deck.: size(bad for some good for others...good for me), lightweight, good looks, pretty stable(no problems what so ever going in between 30 and 35), fast, carves very well, and overall its just a very well rounded board.

    Similar decks you have ridden?: loaded dervish and loaded vanguard...pretty close to the vanguard but shorter and not symmetrical
    Would you recommend it?: Yes
