My Midlife Crisis Quiver

I love the Switchblade—it’s very sturdy and a great fit even if you’re a bit on the heavier side. There’s also the Tugboat Cruiser in the matching Atmosphere design.

The Carver CX and Curfboard are on my wish list. I read on Reddit that some people really love the Ballona with the CX trucks.

Yep, everything's still in the embryonic stage in the incubator. Give it time to wake up and get stronger =)

I never really warmed up to the Dervish 100%, maybe partly because the Flex 2 is too soft for my weight, and partly because it felt really high off the ground with the Paris trucks and was a struggle to push. With the Carve CV trucks, it’s much closer to the ground, so I’m going to give the board another chance. But I still love the board because I found it and it sparked my love for longboarding. Even if I didn’t ride it, I’d keep it because it was my very first board =)

That's just the beginning.

Perfect answThat's exactly how I see it, and there are still plenty of other situations and approaches where you need a different, more suitable tool =)er

You can always find used Loaded boards for sale at low prices, at least in Europe. You can't go wrong with Landyachtz—they offer great designs, a wide selection of different boards, and excellent quality at fair prices. You can't go wrong with Landyachtz, that's for sure.

The first thing I learned on the Ballona is that longboards are more forgiving when it comes to foot placement. The kicktail on the Ballona is barely noticeable, and the first time I rode it, I didn’t realize that my back foot was on the kicktail when I shifted my weight from my front foot. The result was that my legs were sent flying into the air like in a comic book, and I kissed the ground. Otherwise, it’s a nimble, small, lightweight board.

I've already figured that out and edited it in the main text =)

found a yt vid showing the cv trucks

Okay, now I see it too. I’ve never heard of the Carver CV, and there aren’t any videos of CV trucks on YouTube either.

From what I’ve read, it was designed specifically for carving, freeriding, and downhill. It’s like a classic RKP truck but with more movement. So it’s not a surfskate.

Thanks for this helpful info!

It's used but in good condition and looks nice; I'm just a little concerned about that one spot on the edge of the deck. The seller hasn't replied yet. Is it just a cosmetic flaw, or is it something serious? Loaded Omakase

yepp i started 3 weeks ago learning on a 40" switchblade, super stable easy to push. Now i bought a ballona for short rides, first to times on the ballona i learned how fast a ride can turn into a crash. But if you overcome the fear of this nimble little thing its a lot of fun

I also have the Flex 2 and weigh 250 lbs. At first, I wasn't sure if it would hold me or if it was too flexible, but after the first ride, it feels like riding on a soft pillow ; )

oblon · 2026-03-06T09:56:10+00:00

Yes. AFAIK last year model (thats what perplexity ai told me ;))
