A descendant of the original Loaded Dancer and more recently from the original Bhangra, the Bhangra V2 builds on Loaded's longboard heritage to create a refined longboard dancing/cruising/carving board.
Featuring Loaded's unique cork, bamboo and bio-resin, the Dancer is surprisingly light for its size. It features a relatively flat profile and concave compared to a lot of modern longboards (although it has a little more concave than the Bhangra V1), which makes it great for dancing and footwork tricks. Too much concave on a dancer and you won't be able to move your feet fast enough.
The Bhangra V2 is directional, with very mellow kicktails - they're just about enough to pop the board up for shuvits, kickturns, ollies, flips and other dancing tricks. It's a refined shape and profile from the pioneers of longboard dancing - so you know it's going to work!
This deck is available in two flex options. We recommend that you choose based on your weight, as this deck is really aimed at dancing and cruising only, so you shouldn't need any extra stiffness to make sliding easier.
From Loaded:
Your mobile dance floor, newly renovated!
Designed for the fanciest of footwork, the Loaded Bhangra V2 offers a spacious platform with plenty of room for all your dance moves, yet is nimble enough for advanced freestyle tricks and steezy slides. It is ideal for dancing/freestyle gurus and surf-style aficionados looking for a smooth and graceful riding experience.
The NEW Bhangra V2 from Loaded features updated basalt and bio-epoxy construction for lighter weight, higher strength, a new damp flex, and continued eco-friendliness. Bio-based Super Sap epoxy uses tree sap to replace much of its petroleum content, and basalt fabric requires less processing than fibreglass because it was already processed by a volcano.
Loaded Bhangra V2 Features:
Functional Design:
A generous platform with rockered profile cradles your stance for comfortable dancing, freestyle, and general riding.
Mild concave (slightly increased from the Bhangra V1) provides edge control without interfering with footwork.
Large nose and tail with aggressive (50-grit) griptape encourage creative manual and shuvit tricks.
A strategic pattern of mild (80-grit) griptape on the standing platform ensures confidence in sliding and hard carving while also allowing for smooth pivots, pirouettes, and other dancing footwork.
CNC-milled wheel wells increase clearance for bigger wheels and reduce the risk of wheelbite.
Strong. Damp. Eco:
Dual vertically laminated bamboo cores are sandwiched between layers of basalt fabric to create a strong and lightweight structure (on average more than half a pound lighter than its V1 predecessor) with damp yet responsive flex.
A bamboo bottom veneer protects the bottom basalt composite layer, while a cross-ply bamboo top veneer adds both durability and torsional stiffness.
Bio-based Super Sap epoxy uses tree sap to replace the bulk of petroleum components in resin and improves feel and finish.
The Bhangra V2 will be the first of many boards in the Loaded Longboards lineup to switch to this resin system in the near future.
High Performance Flex:
Bamboo and basalt construction provides comfortable flex perfect for fancy footwork and freestyle tricks.
The difference in stiffness between the two flex options is significantly higher than our usual ratios, hence the designation "œFlex <1"�.
Flex <1 is ideal for both heavier riders and aggressive freestyle tricksters of any stature seeking considerably higher stiffness, stability, and resilience.
Flex 2 is a balanced yet damp flex appropriate for a wide range of riders or those looking for a more playful and responsive board.
Graphic:
The Bhangra V2 features original artwork by Mexican artist Tomas Guereña (a.k.a. "œscrew"�), the same artist who designed the Poke graphic. The lines of the graphic are meant to symbolize the movement and flow of longboard dancers.
We build the Bhangra up as two complete options, both are finished off Loaded's own griptape pattern, optimized for dancing moves.
We can also do custom completes with whatever wheels and trucks you want - get in touch if you want something special!
About as tasty as a longboard dancer setup comes… first class components put together to offer a responsive and nimble complete for such a long board.
The Bhangra Pro complete gives you a full Loaded Longboards complete at a more affordable price. She'll be happy bouncing back and forth on one or two legs, the smaller diameter wheels will be quickly back up to speed after you bring the board back under your feet. Value bearings will get you rolling just fine, just give them a clean if you happen to find yourself dancing in the rain.
Loaded recommend Paris V3 180mm in black with fast rolling Orangatang Stimulus wheels in 86A, rolling on Loaded's own Jehu bearings.
