Loaded Tangent Distance Longboard Deck

One year after Loaded Longboards brought their first bracket board to market, they've upped their game with another: The Loaded Tangent.

The Tangent is loaded with all the best features of the Fathom, with a few twists:

• It's longer. 3" longer in the deck. Doesn't sound like much but if you're a taller rider, prefer a wider stance, or simply want the extra comfort and stability of a longer wheelbase, then the Tangent is the one for you
• It's wider, by half an inch. No worries about foot placement with such a nice sized platform - and if they do wander close to the edges, the concave steepens up towards the rails to let you know, as well as the super flipped corners acting as perfect reference points.
• It's got rocker. We love the feeling of our feet being cuddled by a good rockered skateboard. It feels intuitive to stand in, and has the added benefit of wedging the truckmounts slightly - your baseplate angle is increased, giving you more turning power and agility despite the longer deck.
• Juicy basalt composite construction. Lighter and stronger, with a comfortable dampening flex to really soak up the road noise that won't get saggy over time.

Cruising, commuting, distance rides, pub runs... there aren't many comfier ways to handle them on a skateboard than with this thing! As with the Fathom, you have the ability to ride 100mm+ wheels whilst still being low to the ground for ease of pushing, and without risk of wheelbite.

This is largely thanks to the G-Bomb designed "Zee Bracket" which essentially creates a drop-through, drop-down longboard from a topmount. It lowers the ride height by around 4cm and extends out far enough forward to get massive wheels on there with no danger of them touching your deck.

There are other brackets out there, but we have a harder time getting them in the UK. The Zee Brackets will likely be your best shot to get this thing rolling.

A super comfy distance and commuting machine. If you asked me to talk all day about it, but I'd likely go off on a Tangent.
