Carve it up!
Color: Orangatang In Heat 75mm/80a Wheels Size: Flex 2 (42"/107cm): 150-210+lbs / 68-95+kg
I hesitated to drop this much on a longboard when I haven't skated in years. This board is flawless! I was a bit worried about how much it flexed when I stepped up, but no worries that just makes it carve even better. It's so much fun that now my daughter and son both want one.

My best board so far
Color: Orangatang Durian 75mm/83a Size: Flex 2 (42"/107cm): 150-210+lbs / 68-95+kg
Bought this as an upgrade from my Atom board and although it’s more expensive it’s been well worth the money. The deck is fantastic and super flexible, (make sure you choose the correct deck for your weight) the Paris trucks are very responsive and the Orangatang wheels are truely amazing. The Atom is a great board but the Loaded Vanguard is several notches above! This is not a down hill speed freaks choice though, this board is totally for cruising, carving and slopes. It surfs. Can’t recommend this more highly! ... show more

Flex 3 was perfect for me
Color: Deck Only Size: Flex 3 (38"/98cm): 150-200+lbs / 68-90+kg
The media could not be loaded. This board easily has the most flex I’ve ever seen. I weigh 160lb and wasn’t sure which board I should get because I felt I fit in the middle of all the sizes. Flex 3 turned out great, it has a lot of flex but not enough to hit the ground on my bear trucks and 1/8 riser pads. ... show more

which is excellent for my weight and where I use it
Loaded bamboo boards are top-notch. I purchased this as a Flex 1, which is excellent for my weight and where I use it. I also have this same Vanguard board in the 38" 3 Flex config, which I find a rather different kind of ride, but still just as awesome. The longer board with stiffer flex is definitely meant for long sweeping carves down empty hills, whereas the shorter version (still long at 38") is definitely preferable for any sort of flats riding where you need more agility, like on campus. Awesome boards that never seem to stop rolling. ... show more

Awesome board, amazing flex.
Color: Deck Only Size: Flex 1 (42"/107cm): 175-230+lbs / 80-105+kg
first of all, this board looks amazing, the art on the bottom and the finish look great. The ahipping was fast, I got mine in 2 days. I ordered a flex 1, I am about 245 lbs. and it feels amazing under my feet. The board has the perfect amount of flex for me. The board is huge, and the trucks go on the outer ends so it has a very large wheel base. Ive been riding this board more than 2 weeks and I don’t have a single complaint about it. ... show more

Color: Deck Only Size: Flex 3 (38"/98cm): 150-200+lbs / 68-90+kg
Great board! One of the things that weren't clear when i bought this deck was that it comes with "grip tape" already on the top. I was hoping for a non gripped deck so i could customize. The deck has a clear glass spray on top that acts like grip tape. To change, you need to sand down and then add your own grip tape if you wanted to do that. ... show more

Worth every cent.
Outstanding longboard! It really is a carving system. The flex 3 deck allows for smooth and responsive carves that work in conjunction with the Paris trucks. Along with the Otang Kegel wheels and this board is an absolute monster truck. Not only that, the vanguard deck absorbs the shock from rough terrain. This board truly reminds me of snowboarding (which is what the board is modeled after). I would definitely recommend for fun carving and commuting. ... show more
