Loaded Boards Tan Tien Bamboo Longboard Skateboard Complete

Awesome board. Flex 1 doesn't flex very much, I weigh 220 and the board just has a nice bounce to it but nothing radical like you see on YouTube reviews, the board barely flexes below it being completely flat. I wouldn't call it a high speed board more for carving etc. Kick tails are use able, board is super light and easy to kick around. I tried it on caliber ii and Paris v2 both 50 degree both about 10", sector 9 72mm wheels, bones super reds, zero wheel bite but the Paris trucks get real close. I prefer the caliber setup but I'm a noob so I'm partial to more stable feeling trucks. Great board looks fantastic in person, would make a great first board to develop skills on.

Really durable and smooth. I would recommend. For beginners or pro

Loaded boards are great as always. Came in just fine and complete. Light weight, flexible, great pattern below, and great ensemble of trucks, wheels, bearings and board. Get it whenever it’s in stock, had to wait around for a week or so to buy one since they were out of stock.

I had been searching for months for a longboard before I decided to finally buy one. What I needed was a longboard to arrive in a short amount of time, because I was going on vacation. Other prerequisites were to a nice cruiser, and just a generally good overall starter board. What better board than the Loaded Tan Tien? Loaded boards are renowned in the industry for their board making, and I am not disappointed!Performance Longboarding is a great company in my eyes. Their customer service is fantastic. I emailed them the night I saw this post asking them a few questions about how they assemble their boards and also about their shipping methods. They replied within hours of the same night answering all of my questions! Enough said.Now for the review of the ACTUAL board, and before that I just want to say that the Loaded Tan Tien Flex-2 complete longboard is AMAZING:• Loaded has three flex's for their Tan Tien variant. Flex 2 is for people who weigh 130 lb's - 210 lb's. I weigh ~140 pounds, and the flex and maneuverability of this board is crazy..• Comparing this board to my friends' boards is like comparing a Porche to a Pontiac. Now, it's not going to fly like a magic carpet, but it's all about the FEEL. It glides over concrete, takes on sand (I'm not saying longboard on a beach), destroys pebbles, rocks, and small debris with ease (try and avoid them still obviously).• My feet fit naturally in the concave of the boards shape.• Can't go wrong with Orangatang wheels, especially on a top end board like this.• The trucks that it comes with is great for what the board wants to accomplish: perfect cruising.• Lastly, the assembly of this board is what puts the icing on the cake. Performance Longboards personally takes the time to professionally assemble the board in their shop before it's sent out, and it's fantastic!With all of that being said, that is why I spent the $10 - $15 dollars over the other Tan Tien's offered on Amazon.

I bought this board a little over 11 months ago and didn't have a chance to fully comment on how amazing it as been. I've been longboarding for 4 years now and this board is just amazing. I've tried arbor, original (pintail and Apex) and they don't come close to the build quality. The paris trucks are the best on the market and the board has a great flex as well.Also, not to mention a huge shoutout to Nord Boards! I wanted to customize the trucks/wheels and they went above and beyond in accommodating my request all within my budget. Will highly recommend them!

Best longboard, best wheels, looks great, functional. Trucks around 42 degrees, so it is better for longboard riding, not tricks or carving. Bolts came without washers, so we had use our own. They came with rubber absorbing pads, but when you mount trough the board, we had to cut rubber sides and use only part of that. The board is curbed at the trucks mounting, so I would not recommend mounting without the rubber trucks to board. The bolts are a little longer than they should, but you can cut them later. Bearings I would say are average condition, not super smooth, but at the for now they are fine. Overall my son is very happy how it rides and looks.One more thing, the board arrived wrapped in the bubble wrap, no box or instruction included.

Smooth, fast, springy. The deck and components are high quality and well designed. Great for cruising as it absorbs vibration and retains speed. Much different feel than a street style skateboard.

WOW! Just WOW! I've been longboarding for 10 years, and I had the previous version of the tan tien with paris v2's and it was stolen. Loved the board and got this as a replacement and its hands down the best setup I've ever felt. Right out of the box this thing is amazing. Props to performance longboarding for the caliber II's (amazing) bushing setup, wheels and hardware. This board is the real deal and looks amazing.

In Kalifornien zum ersten Mal probiert und direkt verliebt. Das Board ist einfach top verarbeitet, lässt sich sehr präzise steuern und hat meiner Meinung nach das beste Ridegefühl aller bis ausprobierten Longboards. Habe mir direkt noch eins bestellt für meine Frau! Kaufempfehlung!

Bought for my 15 year old son who did tons of research. He likes it a lot!

Love this, it's beautiful and nice flex.Gorgeous wooden graphics.
