Application

Loaded wanted to develop a more compact Dancer / freestyle board that can do practically anything. A long board on which one has enough room to dance and that is both lightweight and small enough to get it into the air. One that is not huge, with which you can slide and fits easily in a trunk. Whether you can drive with the Bhangra and downhill? Perhaps, but it is not really designed for it.

Rocker

Loaded is very proud of the Rocker of Bhangras. The rocker makes you say one warden with the board and gives you that special feeling when driving. Thus it can be dancen excellent, the slide is much easier and more comfortable. In addition, the longboard is lower which is also pushing the more smoothly.

Curvature

Loaded has given the bhangra a curvature. A slight U-shaped curve gives you more confidence in the slide. Furthermore, the curvature helps to jump the feet back to get fixed on the board. The curve is gentle, so that she does not impeded in the footwork.

Nose and Tail Kicks

make the larger nose and tail curves it easier just to grasp it easily. With the right timing can even drive a Bhangra with Ollie. Not easy, but doable! The tail is well-suited to Shuvit-to manuals to make, while the nose is well suited for Hang Ten manuals.

Griptape Design

The grip tape of the Bhangra is the most modern longboard from Loaded. It protects the shoes and is available in two versions installed on the board. At once the most is claimed, a softer grip was chosen to protect your shoes. As you probably know it is the Grind skate like the soles of the shoes. This is the Bhangra not happen because the grip is specially shaped and you will mainly manufacture spinning moves in the foot on bamboo. When you slide the other hand firmly on grip tape, because the rail was well stocked with it. On the nose and tail a firmer grip was chosen to give you a very secure stand at Suvit-to-manuals and to simplify the Nose and Tail-catcher.
Flex

The Bhangra Longboard Flex is available in two variants:

• FLEX 2 (90-190 + pounds) is driven by Adam P. (150 pounds) and Adam C. (160 pounds). With Flex 2, it is easier to ride freestyle. Thanks to Rocker and curvature but also slides and high speed are possible.

• FLEX 1 (150-250 + pounds) is much stiffer. If you weigh 160 pounds, it will only give in very easily. If you prefer stiffer longboards or hard tricks like you should choose this Flex. Even for people who weigh over 190 pounds this is the better flex.

Construction

The Board of Bhangra is the most ecological Loaded. It is made of bamboo, cork and epoxy organic resin. Loaded has no built fiberglass and still managed, the Board determined to make strong yet flexible. This they achieved through the use of two vertical layers of bamboo seeds in the middle is cork. This was the weight and improves the damping.

Roles

Loaded has designed functional holes for the rollers, so that the Bhangra can be driven with many brands of 180mm and 70mm roll axes without riser. These prevent Wheelbite in most cases. It can occur however, if you drive the long board with very soft and easy axes dampers.
Recommended Setup

• Axes: Loaded received was for the Bhangra 180mm Reverse Kingpin Trucks. For example, Paris, Randal, Bears, etc.

• Roles: The Longboard warden should run with 70mm or smaller wheels. 75 mm Wheels are too big. The longboard team off the Bhangra like to 86a stimulus Wheels of Orangatang.
