The first Loaded board, the Vanguard, launched in June 2002. Loaded moved its whole line to bamboo cores in 2006, released the original Dervish, one of the first flexible drop-through carving boards, in 2007, and started its sister wheel brand Orangatang in 2008.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore than two decades on, Loaded still designs out of Culver City, California, and is known for obsessive construction, sustainable materials like bamboo, basalt and bio-based resins, and boards developed with its riders for carving, dancing, freestyle and freeride. If you want a longboard that feels alive under your feet, Loaded is the benchmark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Loaded Tan Tien best for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt's an all-rounder: carving and pumping around town, plus freestyle tricks like manuals, shuvits and slides thanks to the kicks. The drop-through mount makes it stable and easy to push, so it's also a great commuter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a 39\" longboard the right size for me?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFor most riders, yes. 39\" is a versatile length: long enough to feel stable and carve smoothly, short enough to stay nimble for tricks and easy to carry. It suits most teens and adults; very tall riders who only want long carves may prefer a 42\"+ board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Tan Tien good for beginners?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. The low drop-through platform is stable and easy to push, and the flex makes carving feel smooth and natural. As you progress, the kicks let you start learning tricks without needing a new board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich flex should I choose?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nGo by your weight first. On the Tan Tien, Flex 1 suits roughly 75–122+ kg; Flex 2 suits roughly 50–95+ kg; Flex 3 suits roughly 36–77 kg. Lower numbers are stiffer and more stable at speed; higher numbers are softer and pumpier. If you sit between two, go stiffer for speed and stability or softer for a livelier carve. Not sure?

The drop-through mount keeps you low for easy pushing, and the 70mm wheels handle normal footpaths well. It's compact enough to carry onto public transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it come ready to ride?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes.
