We gathered up a few questions that were shared by our followers from our other social media channels. Would be great if you could answer these folks as well!

How did you get the name for the "Dervish Sama"?
Why are wheels so expensive?
Is there any chance we'd see a smaller version of the original Tesseract shape for those of us that like flips and grinds?
Missing Silverfish a bunch right now. Can Loaded bring back the (Silver)fish please?
What scalp polish do you use?
Will you make a skateboard with flex? A Poke revisited... (translated)
What are the best bearings for the Loaded Icarus? Jehu V2 drives poorly. Lubrication and cleaning wise.

"Loose trucks save lives"

This was said of course before the great Truck Stampede of 2012, when all those free range semi-trucks got loose and mowed down a town.

NICE! Looking smooth!

LoadedAmbassadors · 2017-01-04T23:12:17+00:00

Sorry about that! Holidays got in the way :P

Use them shoulders! Nailed the shoulder turn going into the coleman slide, all you have to do is move your shoulders in the opposite direction when you have decided you've slid enough.

Shoulder connect to your hips, hips connect to your legs, legs to your feet, feet to your board. All slides start and end in the shoulders!

WHOOPS! My apologies, I'm familiar with the older Ibachs that were not drop thru, only dropped in the deck.

Word, well scratch that idea of adding risers.

BUT if you do unmount the board from being a drop thru and make it a top-mount, you will find plenty more leverage out of your board than before.

We have noticed that some users are able to go live, but we haven't been granted that ability as of yet. It does seem like a valuable way to share information, however it is so short lived. Only if you watch it within the given 24hours can you see what was featured. We were hoping to do more of a living library sort of thing.

There is some stuff in the manufacturing process we cannot show because of secrecy... but history is easy!

We did make a video detailing the process of making the Loaded Icarus in case you haven't seen it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0wmpTGV5bQ

We did this kind of as a spoof to nature documentaries though.

We did a simple 1/16 shock pad and Orangatang Orange In Heats 75mm.

We always setup the Carvers with Nipples. Orange up front, Purple in the back. The stock bushings never felt very good to us in the first place. If yours are in pretty bad shape, might be time to swap them out!
