The Story
TRICK-FRIENDLY CARVING MACHINE - The Loaded Tan Tien is a performance longboard created for carving, pumping, freestyle, freeride, and urban commuting / alternative transportation. FUNCTIONAL DESIGN - Drop-through truck mounting for stability and easier pushing. Large cutouts maximize wheel clearance for deep carves and tight turns. Nose and tail kicks open the door for advanced freestyle trickery and help navigate city streets. Cambered profile and mild edge concave create a responsive yet comfortable platform for carve-oriented longboarding. Composite construction combines vertically laminated bamboo and fiberglass for a durable, lightweight, and lively ride. HIGH-PERFORMANCE FLEX - Bamboo and fiberglass provide lively and energetic flex perfect for hard carving and pumping. Available in three flex ratings to tailor the ride to your weight and style. Lower flex is ideal for heavier riders or aggressive tricksters; higher flex is recommended for lighter riders or those looking for a more responsive board. PARIS TRUCKS - Paris 180mm, 50° black longboard trucks deliver smooth and controlled turning response that's perfect for carving, freestyle, and freeride. ORANGATANG WHEELS - Orangatang 70mm Stimulus offer just the right amount of grip and slide for all-around riding in a balanced, lightweight design. Choice of softer 80a (great for cruising, carving, and commuting) or firmer 86a (ideal for freestyle tricks and sliding). Includes Loaded Jehu V3 bearings.
