Lush Longboards Freebyrd Lo-Pro Woodgrain Split Angle Longboard
For good reason, the Lush Freebyrd has been the go-to drop-through for beginners in the UK for many years... and it just got even better. The Freebyrd Split Angle offers more of everything that made it so good - more stability, easier turning. The perfect platform for getting to grips with a longboard - and for taking it further...
The deck has a comfy concave and gentle rocker - a hug for your feet from all directions, so you always know you're standing in the right spot.
Drop-through truck mounting makes the board lower to the ground for a myriad of benefits: a lower centre of gravity is inherently more stable than a higher one, plus it takes less effort to push and footbrake. The carving feeling is relaxed and cruisey, and for those looking to slide will find the lower platform makes initiating slides that bit more forgiving.
All this, plus split angle trucks make this an absolutely perfect board for beginners. When you lean, the board simply follows, catching your weight and making for a smooth turn. The added stability means speed wobbles should be a non-issue - or at least, you're going to have to go pretty fast to make them one!
The difference between this and a symmetrically set up drop-through really is night and day. Whether its pushing, pumping, cruising, carving, sliding or going downhill you'll immediately feel the benefit of a split angle truckset. Unless you ride backwards a lot - more common in freeride sliding or dancing/freestyle - there is no reason not to choose this one.
Throw on the juicy Cult wheels and you've got a board that'll stay with you for years to come. Everything you want to try on a longboard, you can do it with the Lush Freebyrd.

Lush Longboards Freebyrd Lo-Pro Woodgrain Split Angle Longboard: Precision Complete Spec
The Precision Freebyrd 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 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

Lush Longboards Freebyrd Lo-Pro Woodgrain Split Angle Longboard: Elite Complete Spec
The Elite Freebyrd complete - don't let it go because it'll roll forever and you might not catch it up again! If you want to know your board has the best spec going - from built-in bearings to race-level wheels and trucks designed by some of the masters of the craft, grab the Elite setup. Its stable, yet turny, and you won't believe how smoothly it covers ground. Be it smooth or lumpy (like here in Bristol), this one will just eat up anything in its path. Proper job.- Wheels: Cult Cultron 74mm Longboard Wheels White

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 £110, 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!

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.
- If you already have a board (or some trucks!) and you would like to change your bushings to suit your weight, check out our truck/bushing compatability chart!

Love my board from Vandem well worth the money. I’m new to long boarding and there advice got me a great board to learn and progress with.
United KingdomBoard again.
It is very early days using this longboard but I can see the potential. It is rather responsive compared to my skateboard of the 1970’s. So I am taking taking my time to get a real feel for it. Hoping to satisfy my old snowboarding urges in due course. Cheers.
