Pantheon Pranayama Distance Longboard - Gas Guzzler

The myth, the legend: The Pantheon Pranayama.

31.5" of pure efficiency. Perhaps the lowest board available with big wheels, it simply eats up pavement like no other.

With a little extra width than the Pantheon Ember and straighter rails, there's a lot of comfort in the foot platform - beneficial whether you're navigating the dirty city streets, or taking on a whole continent.

The Pranayama is designed around TKP trucks - the Pantheon Stylus trucks and the Paris Street 149mm trucks are the only real choices however. They take taller bushings that give a little extra height and lean, which works great with the drop-down platforms to keep them low, streamlined and agile.

Wheel options also available... Keep it Pantheon with the humungous Hokus. These excel if you've got an unbroken road ahead of you, no slowing down necessary. The bigger diameter is more effort to get up to speed, so if you're more round town, stop start, then perhaps the "smaller" 85mm option is the one for you.

• The big wheel choice is the 85mm Orangatang Caguama. Perfectly fitting, everyone should be able to carve it up to their hearts content with no worries about wheelbite.
• The bigger option is the massive 102mm Pantheon Hokus - but Jeff at Pantheon himself does warn that you may need to tighten down your trucks a little to ensure you're safe. If you're using this board as its truly intended (pushing mad far) then the bigger wheels will roll that bit longer and smoother for each push, just beware around town you may not be able to be as agile as running with the Otangs.

Standard Pantheon construction - which is next-level good construction for any other brand - with a maple core sandwiched between two layers of triaxial fibreglass and a beautiful veneer finish. It keeps things light, long-lasting and with a comfortable dampening flex that takes the roughness out of the roads without costing energy.

We don't skip on setting these up. After some advice from the man himself (Jeff, not God) we've opted for the top end of what's possible. Every setup comes as standard with soft 1/4" drop-up risers, further lowering the ride height and truly living up to its reputation as the most efficient pushing machine on the planet. Naturally, drop-through washers to protect the deck are on there as standard, too.

The Pantheon Pranayama has won marathons, it's crossed countries, and it's offering it's service to help you get to work, get fitter and see your surroundings in a new light. It's easy to push this one further than you ever thought was possible (or reasonable!) on a longboard.
