Focused on functionally driven innovation, Loaded is dedicated to constant rethinking, researching, and experimenting. We’ve experienced the soulful beauty of riding and want to pass on the stoke. To that end we are dedicated to putting out the best possible rides we can and we stand behind every board we build.
Camber and Flex
The camber between the trucks is a large part of the locomotion of the board and absorbs vibrations for increased control. Pre-cambering the board results in a specific amount of potential energy imbedded in the board. Flattening out the camber when standing on the board implies that pressures equal to the rider weight are pressing back up creating a ‘dynamically loaded’ board.
Snap & turning a high performance Longboard
When you initiate a turn and apply weight to the board, it de-cambers & builds up energy to rebound back into its original position (think physics). When you complete your turn, the board snaps back into it’s original, cambered shape and helps you accelerate out of the turn- ala snap.
Loaded Skateboards have camber like a snowboard. This camber gives these decks tons of snap, allowing you to weight the board into a carve & accelerate out of a turn as you unweight & de-camber the board.
Softer flex patterns equal more control and tighter turns at a wide range of speeds, but tends to lose stability slightly at higher speeds. Stiffer flex equals more energy potential and more stability at higher speeds, but is not as forgiving and lively when cruising.
