Thank you Vandem for the prompt delivery of the Landyauchtz Rally Cat I purchased from you at the weekend. The board arrived on Tuesday after ordering on Sunday evening!! I had my 1st ‘’go’’ on the board today and it did not disappoint. My 1st time on a board in 40 years (I am 55) and it was amazing, carving (as best I could) down a nice, long, gentle hill. I’ve still got the smile on my face. Thank you, thank you, thank you. JW from Banknock, Scotland.

Pantheon Nexus 2025 Drop-through Longboard
The Pantheon Nexus could be thought of as the bigger brother of the Trip - a drop-through, drop-down symmetrical longboard with a stiff construction designed to eat up the miles all the way from your commute to crossing whole countries.
The 2025 Nexus differs slightly from the previous version in that its very slightly lighter. Previously the sandwich was made of veneer (applewood) topsheets, then fibreglass, then the maple core. The 2025 Nexus loses the veneer topsheets and uses pre-preg fibreglass on the outside of the deck. Pre-preg is marginally stiffer and there are 2 less layers of glue in the deck overall, giving a lighter finish whilst still being strong as an ox. The graphic is underneath the bottom fibreglass layer so is nicely protected!
What makes it great for pushing makes it a dream for sliding, too. A low centre of gravity offers a more forgiving platform for breaking out of traction - the Nexus will drift round corners and freeride to your hearts delight.
Classic Pantheon crescent drops are stiffer and more ergonomic than your standard drops. You'll notice these whether you're pushing along, nudging it with your toe to know that your foot is in the right spot or whether you're getting sideways and jamming the sides of your feet into them as if they're snowboard boots and you're ripping down an open face in deep powder.
Being slightly longer than the Trip, it needs a bit more strength to keep the nice stiffness with the slight dampening to ease the road noise out of the ride. The Nexus features 8 plies of Canadian maple, wrapped in triaxial fibreglass with wooden veneer topsheets.
If you're a heavier rider that construction is something to take note of - this board has been tested by riders of up to 150kg with success. For a dropped platform, that's really about as good as it gets.
Plenty of space for your feet and the solid construction means that once you've got this thing up to speed... it just won't stop. Though it is pretty easy to footbrake on being so low.
A great Pantheon graphic, solid design and great manufacturing. A classic Pantheon through and through, the Nexus deserves its spot in our shop and we're stoked to show it off.
We build these up with 180mm Sabre trucks and Cult Wheels. Years of skating different combinations of decks, trucks and rock n roll wheels has led us to this setup, and we believe it offers the best quality and usability for the best value out there. Throw in the Sabre Labyrinth bearings and you've got a complete that really stands up to what it's made for. Proper job.
Alternatively, trust Jeff! He designed the thing after all. The Pantheon Recommended complete comes with narrower Paris 165mm trucks and bigger 92mm Pantheon Karma wheels.

Is the Elite setup worth the extra £15?
For only an extra £15, 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 £15 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!
