Lush Longboards Throttle Split Angle Short Longboard
The Throttle is one very rad little package from Lush Longboards.
An all-time great city-machine. At 34" it's short enough to do everything... and long enough to do it fast!
Super sleek lines - it's a beautiful board to look down at, but not at the expense of functionality with a proper kicktail that will allow you to kick it up into your hands with ease, get over those cracks and bumps, and even pop fully-fledged ollies and beyond.
The real clincher though is that the Throttle comes with split angle trucks straight out the box, no matter which build you choose.
This immediately sets it apart from anything else available right now - it will feel agile and easy to pump at civilised speeds, and if you want to take it faster it offers much more stability (speed wobbles no more) and an amazing carving feeling with loads of lean.
If you previously bought a Throttle Elite or Precision build that didn't have the split angle truck setup - you can grab the upgrade kit here to make it happen for the best price possible.
You may have also guessed by the pics and video that this is an absolute pumptrack machine - especially with the Cult Invaders on. The fastest wheel out there in this size range, no question. So good.
The Lush Throttle is a great solution for a city board, for what we could call an "active commute" - it'll push, pump and trick, and handle all the hills along the way.
Of course, it'll do much more than that. But that's up to you to figure out once it's under your feet...

Is the Elite setup worth the extra £25?
For only an extra £25, 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 Invader 66mm 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 £25 gets you a set of Cult Invader over the Pro build's Cult Nova. Apart from the obvious size difference, the Cult Invader 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 £390, that's a serious value for a serious setup!
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.
- 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!
Lush Longboards Throttle Split Angle Short Longboard Reviews
United KingdomFantastic quality set-up
This board rides so smoothly and it’s the perfect size for me. I just wanted something to get me from A-B and go for rides around parks and by the beach and it’s perfect for that!! You can tell it’s a top quality board. Couldn’t recommend it more.
United KingdomFantastic service
Love my new longboard and had a great experience with vandem, even gave me some free stickers! Will definitely be back and their advice pages really helped me get what I wanted, thank you!
United KingdomExcellent
Great!!!!! handles very well and its super smooth. I love it.
United KingdomPretty Awesome
Like almost every review on this site I’m an older guy getting back into boarding with my kids. I knew I didn’t want a standard rattling skatepark skateboard but really wasn’t sure where that lead me. In the end I did t take the advice of the guy in the shop and instead went for this which is a few inches longer than they advised. I am very glad I did. It’s a ton more money than I planned spending but it’s also a heck of a board and I have been blasting the skatepark and pump track every spare minute since I got it. Tables have turned where I’m dragging the kids to the skatepark rather than them me.
United KingdomExcellent service and advice and board
Thank you for the time advice and board guys..... Bombs around the pump track just as you said it would.... Great fun.
