The Loaded Pintail Longboard skateboard is a light weight pintail design at 6.3lbs made for simple manuevering and agility. Keep in mind that the Pintail will soften like most of the Loaded longboard skateboards, therefore you should consider a slight harder flex than normal. Because it takes on a slalom shape, you will appreciate its pumping characteristics. Into and out of every turn you will feel a rebounding flex that increases your speed with every toe and heel push. It is really up to you if you want to put your feet on the ground.
The Loaded Pintail Longboard skateboard is designed to tear up the streets, hills, and parking garages in your neighborhood. With a good amount of concave, camber, a smooth pintail shape, and a lot of flex, this board will have you cruising, pumping, carving, and slashing in no time! It is very popular among students on college campus mainly because it is the lightest of the Loaded longboard skateboards and chicks dudes and chicks dig it too.
We like the Loaded Pintail with 150mm Randal or Paris longboard skateboard trucks. For carving campus or local hills, any 70mm longboard wheel will work just fine. For slides we like the 70mm Orangatang Stimulus Freeride longboard wheels. For hills and campus riding you should try the Orangatang 70mm 4 Presidents or Retro 70mm ZigZags.
Randal 150mm longboard downhill trucks are 100% engineered right here in the United States. There are very few truck companies that have the privilege to say that. Randals are made with Virgin Grade Aluminum which makes each Randal 150mm longboard truck built strong and built to last. The angle of geometry is 50 degrees making it a stable truck under speed, but can be easily converted into an amazing around the town cruising truck that most longboarders put on underneath their boards.
Randal 150mm Trucks come stock with a red 92a durometer conical bushing. These bushings will work fine for a lighter rider, but we always recommend that you customize your bushings to fit you weight, riding style, and discipline. Remember that bushings are the suspension under your skateboard, therefore very important. We would suggest that you try Venom or Khiro Bushings for your new Randal Downhill longboard skateboard trucks. Try Barrels for Downhill and Tall Cones for carving and crusing. You can also use and combination of barrel and cone for your longboard.
The Gravity Drifter longboard skateboard wheels are a good wheel for those of us interested in getting the most bang for our buck. The 70mm Gravity Drifter longboard wheel will fit on a drop through longboard skateboard like the Gravity Makai or Kalai as well as on a top mount cruiser such as the Gravity Spoon Nose. Word on the streets is that these wheels make a great freeride wheel, too!
