Reviews

Great single Purpose Board.

"I had this Board a few Years ago. The Boards construction ist very high end, Bamboo and Glassfiber. For Roads with a slight gradient this Board in my opinion is perfect, as it carves like a Dream. On the other Side i was not able to use it for anithing other that that. No Kicktails, Special Shape, Topmount. This specs make it not suitable for cruising around in the city. Its quite big aswell. Its a single-purpose Board. Its great in that purpose but keep in mind you will need other Boards aswell. If you want only one that can perform in many areas better get a TanTien. I love the Desingn with the flying Fish."

"It is absolutely one of the best purchases I've made in a while. My friend had one i remember I'd used his and enjoyed it a lot rode my immediately and i felt like puting on new shoes now i just have to breakit in. Thank you loaded, Boards."

Vanguard

"I’ve been riding my Vanguard for seventeen years—July 2007 through August 2024—and I love it. Every single part but the deck has been worn out and replaced, and I’ve altered my setup over the years, but the deck’s still going strong through it all. I’ve explored new cities with it, ridden it on two continents, and gotten at least one friend into skating by lending it to him for a while. The ride is fast, lively, comfortable, and nimble enough that I’ve never missed having a kicktail. Not the most stable on fast descents, but otherwise a super versatile and fun all-rounder; highly recommended."

Hello, for the grave digger set up what is the distance from the deck to the ground? Thanks!
When setup with 105mm Dad Bods, to the top of the deck from the ground it is 6.25" (15.8cm).
