Sooooo smooth.
"This board feels so incredible, not only for dancing, which I'm learning to do on this board, but for just riding around and carving. One of the smoothest rides I've ever had and for me who weighs about 250 lbs the flex 1 is the perfect amount of flex to keep it smooth and lively but also balanced under my feet. I'd highly recommend."
Best freestyle/dancing board ever
"I am a big fan of Loaded boards and I will not hide that I dreamed of this board since the first version came out. This board stole my heart as soon as I saw its design. I ordered the board through intermediaries with delivery to Kazakhstan. Although I did not have many boards, I had many friends from whom I could borrow them, and the first time I rode this board was magical. The turns that this board makes are surprisingly smooth, as I expected the bushings to be much stiffer. Even though the board is a full 5 inches bigger than my old board (Bustin Daenseu 42"), it weighs significantly and surprisingly less. Cracks in the asphalt and tiles were a gentle massage for my feet compared to any board I've used. However, what really surprised me was how high this board pops with its diminished wheelbase (it's REALLY HIGH). My conclusion is that the Tarab II is the best board for creating beautiful dance/freestyle lines and is quite enjoyable for riding around town. I highly recommend it. P. S. : For residents of Kazakhstan, I strongly DO NOT recommend ordering from Easy Express. The shipping cost will be two and a half times higher than promised, without any explanation. An already expensive board will cost you as much as an average salary in our country."
Can take a beating, love to freestyle on it
"Been with ldp for a long time, just got into freestyle longboarding and it haze defined been a pleasure, this board can take a beating, it was so fun to use, it was all I could thing about. Every day I woke up and hit my local spot with it and trained for hours on end, within a week the tail was flattened out and the basalt was showing, it really does help beep the shape of the lip since after it was exposed in the first 3 days it has pretty much stayed like that every since. Very durable board, fun to ride, pump, freestyle, dance. So far my all around board. Can’t wait to shred some more!"
Damn good
"Looks like is a pretty damn good board to ride, dance, cruise, etc."
Amazing board, can take a
"Amazing board, can take a beating"
"Perfect for dancing, it's sleek symmetrical shape makes it better than the bhangra! (in my opinion)"
The board shipped to South
"The board shipped to South Africa in less than 5 days. There was a bit of a scuffmark on the top side of the deck, nothing major. It rides like a dream. No niggles or wiggles. I'm a novice, cautious, longboarder skill level: cruising with about 5 longboard dance steps in my pocket. The Tarab flex 1 complete with the standard default setup in the description feels like a Rolls Royce. Perfect flowy with an awesome bounce back feeling in with the quick carves you need when dancing. I had just bought the Mata Hari a month or two before, and it got stolen out of my car: welcome to South Africa. When this happened I decided to just go all out for the Tarab flex 1. Comparing the two, this one is definitely worth the extra cost. The Mata Hari is an awesome board too. The Tarab flex is not very flexi, and it's carries a bit more weight than the Mata Hari, which I definitely can notice, but that suits my comfort zone as I mostly have experience with hard, heavy boards. I am only just starting out on this and feel quite comfortable from the get go which is not usually the case when I try new setups. Thanks you Loaded Boards team."
T2 is great, but T1 was better
"The T2 is nothing short of amazing, however it is not exactly the kind of perfection I've come to anticipate from Loaded. Although it's performance characteristics are on par with what you would expect from a high end dancer, it doesn't quite measure up to it's predecessor, the T1. Overall, the T2's construction isn't nearly as robust as the T1. It sustains damage noticeably easier, the grip tape peels easily when the top of the board occasionally lands face down on pavement or concrete, and it doesn't take much to scrape through the layer of cork on the underside of board. Also not sure why they moved the layer of cork to the underside because it was noticeably better than the thinly coated bamboo for spinning and pivoting your feet. It's still a fantastic board, however I prefer riding the T1 on the Crete and the street; whereas my T2 is relegated almost exclusively to riding on wooden or composite boardwalks. ("
Wow!! Awesome board and company
"Wow!! Awesome board and company thank you Loaded."
Q&A
- Do 70mm 4Presidents clear the deck without spacers?
- For the 70mm 4-President and 70mm Stimulus we recommend a 1/8" riser. The 75mm In-Heat and 75mm Durian both require a 1/4". Wheels below 70mm do not require a riser. Thanks for checking!
- Hi, I'm ready to start learning to dance (and some basic freestyle)! Although the symmetry of the Tarab v2 is appealing, I wonder if the Bhangra v2 would be a better choice because of its extra length. I'm also not sure what to do about flex. I'm just under 6" tall and weigh about 165 lbs. Will the board choice impact my progression in any significant way? If so, do you think I'd be better off with the Tarab v2 or the Bhangra v2? Thanks!
- As a platform for dancing both boards are excellent options. We do think the symmetry of the Tarab, plus it's lighter weight make this more progression friendly for freestyle, We would suggest the Flex 1 even for your weight, if freestyle is an important part of your riding.
