Lush Longboards Dart Short Drop Through Longboard
The new all new Lush Longboards Dart is here - a short drop-through cruiser that fills the niche for those looking for a carvey, stable low ride without the length of a full size longboard.
The Dart offers easy pushing and footbraking due to being so low to the ground - not to mention the stability of a lower centre of gravity.
A nice gentle option to get started with cruising for smaller feet or smaller adults, or simply those who don't want the hassle of lugging around a longboard - it'll fit under your desk and go on the bus no trouble.
The Dart features a mellow concave thats just enough to keep you feeling cradled, yet not enough to start aching your feet during a day out enjoying the wind in your hair. The gentle rocker is like a hug for your feet - you'll be locked in to carve to your hearts content, the board is more than able to get sideways and sliding if you so desire.
A great start to longboarding from the original UK longboard brand - you can't go wrong with this for a first setup.

Is the Elite setup worth the extra £45?
For only an extra £45, you can upgrade the "Pro" setup to the "Elite" Level build.
The Elite setup is a pretty heavy wheel and bearing upgrade over the Pro.
You get Sabre Built-In Labyrinth Bearings - fully shielded, easy to clean, with built in bearing spacers. They roll faster and last longer than the Pro level metal shielded ABEC5 bearings.
The Elite complete also includes Cult Cultron 74mm Longboard Wheels White, poured from a higher grade urethane. Premium urethane rolls fater, lasts longer, and generally injects a whole new level of life into the board - once you've skated decent wheels, you won't want anything else!
Less obvious is the wheel upgrade. Your extra £45 gets you a set of Cult Cultron over the Pro build's Cult Emperor. Apart from the obvious size difference, the Cult Cultron are poured from a higher grade of urethane - an invisible difference that you will immediately notice as soon as you push the board off.
Just like the bearings, the wheel upgrade makes your board roll faster and last longer - what's not to like??
If you look at the SRP difference of these components and add them together you'll see that the upgrade from Pro to Elite represents serious value - trust us, it's well worth it.
Coupled with this, we've noticed that almost everyone who makes it into our shop ends up with an Elite setup - the value is clear once you have the board in your hands!
How about the Precision build?
If you're ready to skate the best setup out there the best of the best, step it up to the Precison Build!
For an extra £70, you get the same wheels and bearings as the Elite build, but with a set of Sabre Trucks Forged Precisions.
Given that a set of these trucks would normally set you back £180, that's a serious value for a serious setup!
Lush Longboards Dart Short Drop Through Longboard: Precision Complete Spec
The Precision Dart setup is a thing of beauty that you won't find anywhere else. The undercarriage here won't be beaten - not for strength, looks, value, speed, comfort, turns… you name it, it does it. If you want a longboard that will never need an upgrade, that turns smooth and rolls even smoother, then jump right in at the top level Precision setup. Even if you later decide on a bigger board or a topmount - the trucks and wheels will be transferrable to any longboard, and you'll feel right at home, right away.- Wheels: Cult Cultron 74mm Longboard Wheels White

Useful Extra Info
Customise your ride!
We can change the truck bushings on this board to suit your weight and riding style!
This way your board will come set up perfectly for you, straight out of the box.
Just refer to the table below and make your choice as you add to cart!
| Rider weight | Bushing Hardness |
| 10 - 50kgs | Extra Soft |
| 50 - 72kgs | Softer |
| 72 - 90kgs | Stock Setup |
| 90 - 104kgs | Harder |
| 104 - 120kgs | Extra Hard |
Some other things to consider...
- If in doubt - go softer! Turnier boards are easier to balance on, and a lot more fun to skate.
- If you are "between hardnesses," we would recommend the softer option. So for example, for a 73kg rider, "Soft" rather than "Stock Setup" might be a better choice. Get in touch if you're not sure!
- if you want a very turny board - say for a dancing longboard - then it's worth going one stop softer than you otherwise would do. Watch out for wheelbite though!
- Likewise, if you want a board for downhill speed, then go up a step harder than the weight table suggests.
- You do have a bit of adjustment in the truck's kingpin nut, but we would suggest that if you have more than two threads showing then it's time to go to a harder bushing.
Lush Longboards Dart Short Drop Through Longboard Reviews
OMG, get this board
Ordered a board for my bro but went to the shop to pick up and suddenly, another board "Lush Dart shorty" kept starring at me and all plans went to ****. My board went to my bro and this shorty came to me. I caused so much mayhem at the shop with the upgrade to this and payments declining, sorry In the end, Shorty is mine and i love this bad boy so much. It is short, agile like a rat, fast and i don't just recommend it but i command it. If like me, 5ft10, 9.5inch shoes worry about it being too small. Well, i was in that same category but quickly went away as it is perfect. Dad Bods will be going on it so, see you around.
United KingdomYou guys rock!!!
Great experience!!!! I bought the best board ever! Thank you for guiding me all the way!
