Nice. Looks like it can be taken apart to fit international luggage.

I’ve been a fan of yalls boards since the beginning. Haven’t bought a new board in 10 years but ever since I first saw this thing I can’t stop thinking about it.

[@LoadedBoards]

The Fathom is, truly, a different breed. Low ride height, insane wheel clearance for big wheels, and incredible turning response. No board this low should be able to turn this good!

I already own waaaaay too many Loaded boards and really only ride 1 of them. If only there was a trade-in program........ Looks pretty sweet, though. :)

[@kiwisause]

sell them! offer up is super easy to move your older decks

[@TheDedicatedDrifter]

Great review. I rode one today at a local shop in carsbad, probably gonna pull the trigger. Love your vibrant energy you bring to your videos :)

[@insanemusicfreak]

I want to see what the long term effects are gonna be on those plastic looking mounts.

[@robertodagostini4946]

Yeah, and how is it to kick up when your at a light section?

[@CLOUDKID11]

My first thoughts as well....how often would those plastic mounts need to be replaced and how durable are they

[@krinkedsurface]

He said they’re composite made, so it’s not just plastic. It might have some carbon or glass or other fiber or composite to make it stiff and durable. Let’s see…

[@hunterrandolph3769]

I’m beyond excited oh boy oh boy

[@jacoblee4873]

Just got mine the other day really nice ride and enjoy everything about it awesome

how is LDP carving and wiggling on the Dad Bods?

[@giulialupo8935]

wheels 88mm or 105 mm ? I cant decide... 🤔

[@nico68654]

on the trucks you have cone bushings, as for the whooble have you tested at how many km/h does it reach?

[@tauntPEANUTBUTTER]

Would you recommend a waterborne surf adapter on this?

[@UpperAquatics]

Looks like fun. Is it available to purchase yet?

[@LoadedBoards]

It is currently available at Loaded retailers around the world! Find you local Loaded retailer here: USA - loadedboards.com/pages/dealer-locator International - loadedboards.com/pages/international-dealer-locator You can pre-order it through our website currently, but we like to give our shops a two week head start on new product launches to not directly compete with them right away. If you wanna learn more and would prefer to pre-order, then visit the Loaded Fathom board page here: loadedboards.com/products/fathom-longboard-skateboard

[@mr.j774]

i wanna see the wheel size and those zee brackets pushed to the absolute limit

[@krishnansrinivasan830]

Will it suite a Clydesdale Rider (265 Pounds) ? . Nice board & Forks :) Glad to see Loaded boards collabs with GBomb :)

[@LoadedBoards]

The Zee Brackets themselves can hold the weight no problem! But the deck is 8-ply maple and will experience some significant flexing for people in that weight range. We are already working on a "big-boy" version right now that will feature a stiffer and longer platform for added comfort and security!

[@krishnansrinivasan830]

​@@LoadedBoards Awesome & Thanks 🙏🕊

[@808grapplemonkey]

@@LoadedBoardswhat about 215? Not quite a Clydesdale but closer to a feral hog?

[@bbaker6212]

@@LoadedBoards I'm currently using in-heats, and wondering if Dad Bods would be too slow/sluggish feeling doing LDP carving n wiggling?

thats why im still rocking a demonseed with big wheels

[@juanQuedo]

As I got older and developed a dad bod and knees been on the hunt for decks like this one... I can hear its voice, calling me.

[@gurtbadger]

Can i get this in the uk?

[@flyfishbrad]

Let's be real here. Does it really roll as well as all the hype says it does? I want one if so.

[@hoaxbusterhodler9676]

Yea I once was amazed some but behind me was pushing a board while I was riding my Electric longboard. He was so fast so I dropped and asked and it was like this very low Double drop through board

[@zmau7219]

32-34in tan tien with small up turns for a tail / nose. Manuals and hopping down curbs. I know you thought about it now where is it?

very sexy board!

very cool wish i still skated

[@grantpeterson1789]

get out there brother its not too late

[@ZinneRpl]

Is it a longboard good for pumping like Antidote or Exile boards?

[@keegancoyle512]

definitely not, its a symmetrical setup, its essentially an expensive double drop

[@stephens2401]

@@keegancoyle512 facts! I'm not seeing the point of making it a bracket system unless it's to use with massive wheels like the Dad bods.

Can this board do Ollie?

[@vu3088]

Were you able to?

[@Dylansanimaladventures]

What's the weight limit on those plastic deck extensions? I'm a big old 118kg, I feel like I'd go snap them

[@LoadedBoards]

The Zee Bracket has been tested to withstand weights up to 250 lbs, but the deck is 8-ply maple and might have too much flex for you at the moment. We're already working on an alternate deck that provides increased stiffness and a longer standing platform for those that need it!

[@jc.eh.123]

Asking the questions that matter. Im at 230, so i guess I’m passing.

[@jblps]

I'd really rethink using that Disney song to promote your product 😬

[@Lethany]

I am looking for a good pump deck, would this suffice?

[@kniestsnacker5000]

No, this is a glorified double drop. For pumping you want a narrow low degree back truck, but since these brackets have no angle and the deck is made for 150mm trucks, it won't do

[@chickentendies7071]

defintely not

[@alexanderung6700]

Pantheon Supersonic is your answer

[@jjjjjjjjrifufjssjosskenf]

@@kniestsnacker5000could you use the G Bomb torsion tail with it?

[@nathanvrvrt]

​@@kniestsnacker5000I'm happy someone calls it out for what it is... A glorified double drop... For an expensive price

[@sn0fx]

A fork with no baseplate adjustment seems oddly pointless. I can see a few novelty use cases... But one has to ask WHY

[@stephens2401]

If loaded was going for a serious LDP board, this probably isn't it. Maybe more inline with competing with the likes of a pantheon trip? I agree, why make it a bracket system? Unless it's really just to use the Dad bods

[@bbaker6212]

@@stephens2401 Can't you use wedges on top of the forks to adjust the truck angles?

[@stephens2401]

@@bbaker6212 not completely sure what you mean about the wedges in the Z bracket. unlike the GBomb glass drop, it doesn't have adjustable base plate. I suppose you can use your own wedges but then your changing ride height

[@luvinfunvan]

The ability to collapse it into a smaller package is a useful enough reason I think. Great for any kind of travel but particularly useful for air travel.

[@Shinobitate]

looks fun but too expensive...

[@user-mp8mn9qp3r]

Еще! Брекеты не имеют настойки угла...

[@user-mp8mn9qp3r]

Принт убогий :( платформа слишком короткая, брекеты не замкнутые, а значит в них не достаточно жесткости и прочности. Короче в комплите только колеса удачные!

[@havefunbesafe]

Hmmm….give up my Trip for this?!?? Nope.

[@bbaker6212]

Less marketing blather and more than 3 seconds of carving footage would help sales i think. People want to know more than anything else how they perform. I want to know how the Dad Bods perform...how hard or easy they are to carve n pump n how tight can they turn.

[@ZERO80PL]

What is the weight of this board?

[@stephens2401]

what angle are the Zee brackets?

[@controlledbyapples]

Zero degree (meaning that it doesn't wedge or dewedge the deck it's mounted on).
