Loaded Tan Tien
The new Loaded Tan Tien is here guys! I’m super excited because I just placed an order for one with Adam Colton Signature Paris 180 trucks and 70mm/86A O-Tang Stimulus from http://www.blackdiamondsports.com/. I have to wait a month because both the deck and trucks are on back order but whatever. I parted with my first gen Loaded Vanguard recently and am totally excited about this new board. It appears to be a refined version of the Dervish for the purpose of freestyle longboarding. The nose and tail are more pronounced for easier control, and the deck is slightly shorter. Also, to improve traction while performing slides, Loaded decided to put grip tape vice spray on. Core is still vert laminated bamboo and comes in three flexes.
Here are the specs!
- Length: 39″/99cm
- Width: 8.75″/22.25cm
- Wheelbase (Inner Hole): 27″/68.5cm
- Weight: Deck only – 3.1-3.5lbs/1.4-1.6kg
- Flex 1: Up to 270lbs
- Flex 2: 130-210+lbs
- Flex 3: 80-170+lbs

Do you find that there is not enough traction on the wheels despite the extra effect?
