tan tien = best board

[@CiskaBrummer]

Honestly still one of my favorite videos ever!! So sick. It is 11 years later and I’m turning 21 this year, and hopefully getting one of these for myself 🤞🏻

[@emgeemann]

Hell yeah, thank you!! So glad you're still loving the vid, and I hope you get a Tan Tien of your own underfoot soon!

[@itBigMac]

That's a sick setup back in your dorm. happy birthday Boss

[@silverpinksky]

Damn, love this video. Song choice sets the mood perfectly. Great camera work and editing. Perfect.

[@hd17k]

Tan Tien it's the best board 4 longboarding !!!!! U can do everything !!!!!

[@CranberryFont]

That is an insane amount of loaded boards in that rack.

[@ContreRiposte]

Bought this one today. Held it for a good 2 minutes in a skateshop and I was sold... My first board in almost 30 years. Maybe in 8 years time i can do a 51st birthday skate movie. And hopefully by then i can do at least one trick on this longboard 😂

[@emgeemann]

Hell yes - love to hear that! Enjoy the new board, it's a special one. Drop a note when you drop that video ;)

[@saegerdil]

I just ordered a tan tien today. I'm so stoked to get it!

[@duncanhardin1632]

Nick, you definately deserve to be sponsored! keep it up!

[@SoCalLongboarders]

[@TheBricklyAvatar]

Awesome! Uploaded on my birthday no less. Nice flow to all the moves, camera work and editing! Looking forward to more

[@kurtcobayn]

this should be a Loaded ambassadors video

[@Beamerbud]

Fucking great video man! Perfect mood from the song and you're the best rider I've seen on the Tan Tien. Dope video man.

[@kieranmurray3759]

Best longboard video I've seen in a long time great music! Narley riding. Keep shredding the nar

[@igiveujak]

[@silverpinksky]

Fired up an Emancipator station on Pandora. Nice.

[@ceebs648]

Great vid by the way.

[@15Citrus51]

Its real impressive that he did all this either a.) hungover as hell or b.) still drunk...i mean common its the guys 21st birthday

[@emptyspace123]

[@rsBrad]

[@Randee1515]

[@PylonDesign]

Happy Birthday! I got me a TT for my 45th Birthday...

[@blackcrane1084]

Pylon Design you still riding it ?

[@420triptrap]

About to turn 21 and going to hit up Olympia streets with my tan tien im excited

[@woerdenbag19]

ESSE SKATE É PERFEITO! BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUA! =/

[@benthreatt1347]

this is the first video I've watched on the page and I subscribed! nice video! and I see you like Otang! gosh there was a ton of wheels!

[@emgeemann]

Haha yep I skate for Otang so that's all I ride! Awesome wheels. Glad you enjoyed and thanks for subscribing :)

[@benthreatt1347]

Yeah! are you sponsored by Loaded too???? and I've heard Otangs suck for freeride besides the fat frees. what would you say? they're also kinda pricey for the slides they give. great wheels for DH super fast freeride. asnd yeah no prob for subscribing!

[@emgeemann]

Benjamin Threatt I would say whoever told you that has no idea what they're talking about! Morongas, fat frees and Keanus are all great for slow to medium speed freeride. Stims & Kilmers kill it at medium speed freeride, and Durians & Cages excel at the faster speeds. The race wheels also turn into great fast freeride wheels once broken in. Long story short there are great offerings for all tastes (especially w/ 3 duros for each model) and the centersets & Morongas are some of the most durable wheels on the market. And yes I am also sponsored by Loaded :)

[@benthreatt1347]

Sick! and yeah I've only heard it from people that like sugary or really buttery wheels and I've heard they're pretty darn chalky. myabe just opinion!

[@IUseTechDecks]

really good! wooo! :D

[@daddy3085]

WOW!!!

[@emgeemann]

Double rainbows in both directions, bigspins up and down curbs, high hippie jumps.. they aren't exactly easy tricks! ;) He's definitely steezy too

[@vanderleivilelajunior1671]

Hey man! Thanks for this trip ... I really traveled with this sound and its maneuvers! Can you send the link to this sound track?

[@justinmuller7227]

[@evertongamers1959]

[@MrSeangeeee]

Tell Nick Burkus that some random guy on the internet that he will never meet, wishes him a happy birthday,

[@HerrHerrlich0815]

Wundervolles Video, absolutes Hammerdeck ( auch meine Wahl )...schöne Musik. Freut mich zu seh´n, dass auch Du Dich nach wie vor `lang machst`- freut mich noch umso mehr, dass ich meinen Kurzen zeigen kann, dass auch `Cracks`wie Du nicht auf ihre Helme verzichten...ich wünsche Dir eine tolle Zeit..viel Spass & uns noch weiterhin so schöne vids, wie dieses..! have fun/ be happy

[@emgeemann]

HerrHerrlich0815 Danke shoen!

[@CranberryFont]

those are most likely 86a stims or durians by otang. Be sure to check out all of your options if you're new to longboarding and the massive wheel selection.

[@aidanbarry1820]

[@cragyypoo]

[@LifeonaboardOfficial]

[@emgeemann]

AppleTV Thank you!

[@Millekivi]

Hi, I'm thinking of buying a tan tien I'm 120 lbs what flex would you recommend? Great video!

[@Spogadado23]

hey what trucks are they?? great vid

[@olliebarton415]

Yellow stims are good for sliding yes most 83a or above will slide alright

[@Helvetica09]

I am turning 21 this yea and now i reall want a longboard...

[@SwagxPlatypus420]

Yeah their are multiple graphucs for the Tan Tien

[@461emre]

Is it low to the ground, to push easy long distance?

[@richardcharles6752]

Get a sponsor Mann !!!!!

[@DegarnII]

0:13 "lets see which wheels I should use today...?" 0:17 "...and we would also need a board..."

[@ahmaddrbas]

should i buy the tan tien or the fattail

[@TheSunIsMyDestroyer]

skills

[@leewardstyle]

rad.

[@tylerbireley26]

what is the name of this song? it chill as hell

[@aleexhg8145]

That's pretty awesome man! Would yoy really recomend this board for an intermediate, I wanna do stuff like sliding, shuvits, manuals and dancing

[@stevenjackson984]

i like mine, overall great board

[@emgeemann]

Aleex Hg Definitely!

[@mattkirchhoff8613]

1:57 Crisp as toast

[@emgeemann]

***** Sorry for the slow reply. It's a flex 2

[@nilshilchenbach5212]

+Leo Villasenor Yes that is flex 2

[@christiankraghbundgaard6068]

Should i buy a Loaded Tan Tien or a Sector 9 northern lights?

[@emgeemann]

Christian Kragh Bundgaard I'm biased.. but the Tan Tien will be a lighter, more durable, higher performance all-around board and well worth the extra cash :)

[@christiankraghbundgaard6068]

Thansks dude!

[@graiypz]

i have horrible balance, but i want to do all these things. i usually just like cruising. after watching a few videos im like "oh f it ill just go practice!" oh.... i only have a pintail, and a board with no nose or tail....

[@HiyaPete]

Is he riding a flex 1? wish i had gone for that instead of the 2, anyone had any success making theirs stiffer?

[@logangoodwin8472]

what kind of trucks are on that board

[@williamcohen8698]

Paris 180"candy red

[@THEBARCELONAFAN91]

Is this at Dunn school in Santa Y'nez?

[@jojoheller12]

I've a question: Should i buy the Loaded Tan Tien or the Loaded Dervish Sama?

[@notimportant2362]

depens on what u wanna do… the tan tien is a great all rounder, but the loaded dervish sam a is a little more for dancing etc. :) i'm gonna get the kanthaka tho… it's pretty badass

[@jojoheller12]

Thx:)

[@emgeemann]

Zentrix zockt Sorry for the slow reply. It depends whether you want a smaller, more agile board for flippy tricks and quick slides (Tan Tien), or a bigger board with more space for footwork and stability (Dervish Sama). Either way you can't go wrong!

[@9miniclip]

how much do you way if its a flex 2

[@misterpopo29]

wn motivaoooo full

[@neyzenilkay]

How long you ride the tan tien for now?

[@crazybee360]
