Yep, cranking hard on it right now (the website, but the board cranks too).
Hoping for another week or so. The videos section is hanging the programming up at the moment.
Any questions, call until that point, the board is available in limited release to dealers (check the current site) or over the phone: 800.619.5579.
Mahogany rails, Aspen / Mahogany stringers sandwiched between two layers of canadian maple which is then sandwiched between two layers of bi-axial fiberglass and clear gripped. Made in the U.S.Aaaaa...
The bottom of the deck is routed to allow Original trucks to mount directly to the board with no need for risers (part of the truck mechanism fits up inside the deck via the CNC routed slot). Also has four mounting brackets for three different wheelbase options.
I have included our ad from the latest concrete wave mag.
Reminds me of this other board....similar shape, flex, length, ride style....hmm..
Hopefully it cost less?
I am not sure what you are insinuating Shimo, the inspiration on this one was 100% Original.
$219.00 standard with 200mm S8s, krypts etc, 269.00 w/70Zigs, S8s and the works.
+8.00 for 250mm S10s

Reason: for added and more blatant sarcasm

The video is cool.
The board looks amazing. All without a shred of bamboo.
I'd like this video if it wasn't trying to be a loaded video. Also I know a kid who can varial flip his dervish over a small curb and can 360 flip on flat ground and I know there are other people who just haven't been put in the lime light who can do crazier. Make your own style don't copy loaded.

The most skilled riders are always the ones who can't seem to get a hold of a video camera.
If he can in fact do either of those things, and at some point get some video to prove it, he should give us a call (or loaded or anyone else) because as things stand now, those tricks will put you in the lime light.
I hear Bob of Bob's trick tips is planning the first freestyle flatland longboarding contest for this coming April. I will be there competing with the rest of the Original guys. If your friend sends over a video of himself doing those tricks between now and then I will fly him down there and back, from where ever tre-flipping longboard freaks hide out, all on Original's bill. Who he chooses to ride for after that is up to him.
Loaded has been doing their thing for a long time now,
And they have pushed my kind of longboarding forward damn near single handedly for the past two years. If you like where they are headed then I think you will respect what we are doing and what we are collectively trying to accomplish.
This isn't cooperative, its competitive, but in a symbiotic way. There is only one company in this industry that I know of that knowingly takes malicious, and illegal, aim at its competitors and has continually stifled the growth and expansion of longobarding as a sport for years, even when given opportunities to push things forward for the greater good of the community. Loaded is not that company, and therefore, we respect what they are trying to accomplish and look forward to competing, for the greater good of saving the world... or if you rather, taking longboarding out of the basement and out of the hands of the crooks who created it.
Take a look at some of the other videos we have put out, and keep your eyes open over the next month.
There is a reason we are in 275 of the best surf skate and snow shops on the east coast, and that reason has nothing to do with loaded's 'style'.

Nice vid - - sweeet board. I stood on one at Paragons in NYC a few weeks ago. Really flexy under my 190lbs - - maybe a leetle too much. Any chance they'll be out in multiple flexes? How does it ride with S10s?

You've got a point, but if you look at Scott's other stuff you'll see that they've already developed their own style (and a fine one 'tis at that!).
Comparison is inevitable. Nothing wrong with them putting something out there that makes it clearer.

I believe that Paragon has only ordered middleweight flexes, which, as its name implies, is currently the middle flex of the three we offer. At 190 Cruiserweight will be where you want to go J.A., for more riding footage of the apex try our "Go Longboard" video which was a part of the Evolutions DVD just released via CW mag.
For reference and those who still haven't found the search function:

You've got a picture of you downhilling for a avatar. Do you do a unique style of tucking?
Tucking and video production are very different. I'm not talking about the riding style but the video itself. The music and over all video flow is very similar to that of what Adam is making. I'm not taking stabs at the riding. It's really good skating and a really good video. I just want everything to be approached as artistically and creatively as possible. I'm not trying to break balls, just criticisms and this the internet afterall....
