Loaded Boards Tan Tien Bamboo Longboard Skateboard Complete

I love this board! I was just sliding with it on the wet gravel. It slides beautifully and has less flex than i expected. This is a good thing I love the board and I can't wait to ride it more. In addition to my Sector 9 Sprocket this makes a beautiful addition to my longboard collection. Be sure to note that this board tends to get unstable at high speeds, however what longboards don't... I love my Paris Trucks they are my favorite trucks I've ever had by far until now. Once you get your longboard stance and positioning set and get used to your Tan Tien (or any longboard), it is wonderful for free style riding style, transportation, even downhill if you can slide well. (It's good for everything but I wouldn't suggest this as a primary downhill board)Note: It's expensive, but it's worth the investment and extremely high quality and durable!Now for the pros & cons.Pros:Well rounded longboardLight weightExtremely responsiveAllows sliding with ease (once you learn how)Has an epic graph design & grip tape designIdea length for most long boardersCons:ExpensiveExtremely responsive and flexy (this can be good and bad depending on the person)Comes w/ Orange 80a Otang Stimulus :D of course i've heard the 86a (yellow stimulus) wheels are better for sliding (softer wheels) so i would go with those if given another chance. Paris trucks very responsive. (39 inch board)the board is very nice and has some nice concave.

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

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.

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.

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!

Great flex! Awesome trucks! All around amazing board, i live in iowa so inride flat land and hills and this board works awesome for me. Ive had a few bamboo sector 9 boards and snapped them from riding too hard. Thia board has some sorr of fiber glass wrapped around it giving it amazing flex.

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.
