Loaded Longboarding

There's a lot of buzz and development in Longboarding technology. Decks have become utterly indestructible based on the abuse being deliberately done to them to prove point. Videos where someone will just do a body flip and land on the board just to test the flex and reliability has been a common show. The construction of these boards from mixing maple wood, bamboo and fiberglass has strengthened the amount of reliability for these decks. This also means additional costs, but it's definitely becoming an investment in the long run.Then there's the trucks for longboards such as Paris, Randals, and the infamous Original Longboard trucks. All special in their own offerings.  There has never been a time where you have different wheels for each riding style. Wider, softer wheels is best for high speed rides and drifting.
