How to choose a Pantheon Commuter Longboard (LDP Distance Skateboard)

[@bartek...]

I love the Trip. This board is so versatile. Great for commuting, not bad for DH and freeride. It's my default board for everyday use. I need to force myself to use other decks :) I had the Prana. The Pranayama is super durable. I've seen it run over by a few cars, not even a scratch (ish). A bus was needed to finally kill it, LOL. I like the way you explain how those boards were designed, what decisions were made, and how they were made.

[@jblps]

Love my Prana. Ride it 1-2 miles every day. Super agile on sidewalks and the cags handle those Colorado cracks nicely. Took it in some snow melt and it handled getting wet and is still solid. If that Supersonic isn't under my tree, Santa and I are having words 😁😁

[@PantheonLongboards]

Oooh dang I probably have this information but I will not share Santa’s plans!

You need your own way to create money so u do not rely on Santa. Grandpa out

Thank you grandpa@@rogerbooth135

I love my Supersonic. It pumps wonderfully and is very comfortable. Also, Jeff is an amazing owner--he spoke with me over the phone and took the time to make sure I had exactly the setup that I needed.

[@paja811]

I have Nexus for year and half, and I must say, it is absolutely amazing board👍 Even in my advanced age, I am able to learn some basic sliding with it😁

[@blairc158]

I've had my Pranayama since 2019, it's the board I learned to skate on & I love it so much

[@PantheonLongboards]

Can’t remember if those were all wood or glass Pranayamas. Once we went with glass, they really made a big improvement!

[@tiddybagel]

​@PantheonLongboards is the new gas guzzler graphic version glass construction? I have one from June 2020 and I think its all wood

[@andregalli7842]

much love

[@PantheonLongboards]

ASAP!

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

🤩 I need a Pantheon surfskate in my quiver!!! 🤩

[@MuyBienFelipe]

Do you think you’ll ship the first surfskates by early summer ‘24 or are we talking about a longer timescale?

[@coloradocj243]

Always wanted a Pranayama, but I think the Supersonic is going to be my next board

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

Awesome! I'm a proud owner of a Pranayama, a Trip and a Supersonic (0 impulse control here 😅)! I love and use them all in different situations! I'll travel a lot by plane next year and a brackets setup is really really intriguing...

[@PantheonLongboards]

Give us just a little bit. We’ll make it much more intriguing soon!

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

@@PantheonLongboards 🤩🤩🤩woooooooooooo 🤩🤩🤩 Intriguing 😋

[@dans4786]

Hey Jeff, I spoke with you earlier today from NYC. Ordered the Pranayama with the Hokus based on your recommendation. I still think it's so awesome I've been riding your Sportster for so many years and now will get to ride something that reps the evolution of your design skill. Thanks again and peace 2u from Brooklyn.

[@AhmedOkby]

Do you get wheelbite with the Hokus?

[@dans4786]

@@AhmedOkby zero wheelbite no matter how much force I put on the edge of the board. Plus, I dropped the board another 12mm with risers, which lowers the deck to the height it would be at if it was on 78mm wheels.

[@omni100won]

I can't wait for the LDP trucks from you.

[@jacobstratton1140]

Hey, Jeff. I have a nexus that I set up with McFlys, and it has totally changed riding for me. I just have a great time pushing around, but I can do a little bit of downhill and it’s not miserable to push uphill either. It’s been a great purchase!

[@tom999]

Happy Supersonic owner here. Love your boards!

[@chrisdubois641]

I bought a Nexus in 2016 and as a LDP board it survived me living in NYC for 3 years, riding in the rain, letting my friends borrow it. It is a solid board that has barely aged after years of rough urban riding. Also Happy to see that youtube recommended a good video! Hi Jeff!

[@PantheonLongboards]

Thanks Chris!!!

[@getthatskate3430]

This was so good. Pranayama is my favourite board in my collection. The only other one I've ever rode was a Quest, for a couple minutes tho.

[@derowmediataskforce]

Holy crap this thumbnail is gold!

[@eBoard3R]

*Yewww!* 🤙🏼👌🏼👌🏼🤙🏼 Love my Trip (rkp trucks) but tempted by the Prana (tkp trucks) for the ride feel and slightly shorter overall length once setup... and that dope graphic

[@PantheonLongboards]

They are different enough in the ride style that they’re worthy of both existing in a quiver. You will always want those RKPs on steeper hills but I love the Prana for flats!

[@mcrwoell]

Big lad that cruises and does baby LDP on the Nexus! I can't recommend it enough!

[@PantheonLongboards]

It’s a heck of a board for heavy guys and high speeds! I like to ride mine up and down mountains.

[@LiefRunsFar]

Great information. You really take pride in perfection. Was recommend a Pranayama many years in the Facebook group. Really happy rolling around the college campus and parks. Makes the bumps feel almost flat. I tell the trick skaters they need bigger wheels. 😅

[@carlosyen65]

I started with the first bandito, then the supersonic, and then the genesis. The three have different fun. I like them very much. The manufacturing quality and performance of the pantheon are always trustworthy. I look forward to seeing new products in the future.

[@cmm8622]

Could u elaborate on your experience between the bandito and supersonic? I'm debating which one to get. Thx!

[@carlosyen65]

@@cmm8622 Both are great boards. Bandito is a bracket board, which is easy to carry during travel and easy to disassemble and assemble. Of course, the price is slightly more expensive because of the additional bracket cost. Supersonic is much cheaper in comparison. But it’s not as convenient to carry as bandito. As for push and pump, I don’t think there is much difference. They are both fairly easy to push and pumping. Of course supersonic can choose the appropriate elasticity according to your weight. Bandito can only adjust the flexibility slightly by adjusting the wheelbase of the rear bracket.

[@concrete-waves]

Super helpful! This cleared up a bunch of questions I had about LDP setups. Thanks 💙

[@PaulKentSkates]

If you have other questions feel free to ask here so others can see.

[@PantheonLongboards]

Glad it was helpful!

[@scrumhalforegon]

I've had the Quest for a while now. Love the board!

[@Flatspotlongboards]

This was great Jeff! Super helpful. Thanks!

[@spencerpatton667]

Yes sir, my Nexus slaps for DH and everything else. I'll even thow on some Indy 149s with offset 85mms for LDP and while the deck is a bit heavy, overall with TKPs it's still lighter than my other DH boards.

[@YourFault]

11:48 nice little disclaimer for those who still runs their wiggler, top mounted 🙃

[@PantheonLongboards]

Love it for a garage session! Nobody can keep up with that pump!

[@krishnansrinivasan830]

Awesome & Thanks :)

[@tiffanyduke7856]

[@BrandonJames-zl7hf]

I love the evo by landyachtz, been riding it for years. I'd definitely go for the super sonic, looks just like the evo and probably feels lighter

[@JRExtra101]

I'm in the same page. I want to sell me evo to help fund this board or atleast add the Pantheo Karma wheels to my Evo

[@MrToys-qg9pq]

These longboards are awesome!! is there anyplace to check which one is the lowest to the floor? Could you give me some data about it? thank you!!

[@PantheonLongboards]

It all depends on setup but I feel the supersonic is usually the lowest drop. It is around 1.3 inches depending on the truck angles. That said if you were to put rail risers on a pranayama or a trip, between the baseplate and the deck it could be lower.

[@Magicsculpt]

I have just ordered the quest deck, could you advise me on the ideal assembly, rather access to pumping, thank you for your advice and congratulations for your work🎉🎉🎉

[@PaulKentSkates]

Joe 😍 ( 9:12 )

[@V1Ncento]

In my Wanderlust (yeah it's that guy again) I drilled a few holes and sanded the edges smooth, as drainage for water (living in The rainy Netherlands) and it actually works quite well!! When good ol' W'lust dies It will be replaced with a Quest most propbably, and I just might customize it about the same way. U N L E S S you really, REALLY advise not to drill any holes at all if that damages the construction too much. Or, what would be the safest spots to have holes (while still functioning as drainage system of course)? Sincere greetings and thanks for making Pantheon be.

[@chill_will9816]

Are 139mm/ 8.0 inch trucks too small for a Pranayama? What would be the wheel size limitations? Thanks in advance

[@Jeff5i]

Best commuter board for 5 miles each way on paved bike path for a 6ft 1 250lb person ? I was leaning quest or nexus but the smaller boards look more manageable for storing. Love the supersonic look.

[@PantheonLongboards]

I’d put you on a Quest easy if you’re straight pushing. If you want the option to pump, get on an 8 ply Supersonic!

[@ShreddieMercury]

💙💙💙

[@enderbro-dt9iz]

What makes the trip better than the supersonic for pushing and is the supersonic lower to the ground than the trip with same size wheels?

[@JezusCinco]

Good stuff! Can you make a video about how to put the pranayama against a wall in a restaurant? So far I haven't been able to get it right.

[@PantheonLongboards]

Flip it around. Lean at a sort of medium angle. It’ll catch!

[@JezusCinco]

Going to try this next time I'm with my girlfriend at a 6 star restaurant which we do all the time. Thanks!@@PantheonLongboards

[@PaulKentSkates]

I've had no luck with this. I just sit it on its side. Haha. The pranayama won't be contained! But it will take a nap.

[@youhavetwoyil]

Hey I'm a bit confused regarding the differences between the trip and pranayama. If rkp trucks are more turny, than how is the pranayama the one that ends up being the one with more agility? Is it just down to the board's configuration? like the pranayama can lean so much that it just ends up being more agile than trip even though the trip has rkps?

[@youhavetwoyil]

@@crookedtool I see, thanks for the explanation

[@LeslieJayRobertson]

Why choose one when you can have them all!!

[@a127250836]

Hello, I would like to ask, what is the height difference between the ember board and the pranayama board? I'm currently torn between these two boards. Do I want Ember's tail, or does Pranayama actually have a way of kicking his tail and getting up on the ground? Sorry, I'm using a translator. I hope you can understand. I look forward to your reply. Thanks.
