The Loaded Chinchiller (Tested & Compared)

[@AdventuresInSkateboarding]

Nothing I don't like about the way you produce your videos. Appreciate the experiments between the different wheels and your thoughts on each. They look like two very different boards to me, definitely a place in the quiver fro both. Stay Rad Sir (Awesome last clips)

[@concrete-waves]

Much love bro! I really appreciate that. Hope you got a chance to hit some parks in romania 🙏

[@AdventuresInSkateboarding]

@@concrete-waves the snow and rain got me. Back at the local trying to work on this back tail to FS Nose slide line.

[@icantsee0]

Watching these videos really sparks an urge to buy more boards, but my wallet says otherwise 😂😂

[@concrete-waves]

haha i feel ya! An endless addiction 😂

[@lowtechleon9874]

I was gonna ask the difference to the poke. So thanks a lot for the comparison. This still let's me be happy with my Poke😅✌️

[@concrete-waves]

Sweet! Stoked to hear that leon 🙌 and thanks for watching

[@BurningSpiderStokeCompany]

Most Excellent as per usual. Love the different set up ideas, and comparisons. Stoked to hear more about the electric add on. FUN FUN!!

[@concrete-waves]

appreciate that joe! much love bro 😎 so much fun!

[@BMX1903]

So glad you are back at full time.

[@concrete-waves]

appreciate the support!

[@BMX1903]

@concrete-waves us nj boys gotta stick together. Lol You keep making good content and I keep watching it.

[@concrete-waves]

jerzz represent! Love it@@BMX1903

[@SquareOneForge]

Thanks man, been on a vanguard for 15 years, age has slowed me down a bit and i think the chiller will be a nice place to land.

[@cranky_midget1682]

I love the vids man, keep up the good work💪💪

[@concrete-waves]

Very stoked to hear that! Much love 🙏

[@Eijiken]

Hell yeah, we back!!!

[@concrete-waves]

yewwww yeah we are 😎

[@nicoparra3677]

Loved the bloopers

[@concrete-waves]

Haha thanks nico! appreciate you watching and dropping a comment 🙌

[@eBoard3R]

*So good to have the channel back regularly* 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼 Really enjoyed this one... temptin deck, loved that you shared the setups you tried, I'd probably enjoy blue In Heats

[@concrete-waves]

thanks man! the roll speed with the in heats is super fun. The other thing I forgot to mention is that I noticed a difference in maneuverability compared to the love handles since the In Heats have a larger contact patch

[@Chris-si8zh]

Thanks for the wheelbite info-you helped me realize that I put my Paris Truck hangers on backwards (flipped) 🤦‍♂, which reduced the baseplate angle, causing a reduced ride/axle height of 5mm. That had been going on for months 🤦‍♂

[@Kufunninapuh]

The extra juice you are referring to is probably the extra high rebound that the otang bushings have.

[@kaiplaygame6808]

Ooo I wonder if the Loaded Fathom is gonna have a review here, it’s expensive af tho 👀 awesome summary and footage bro 😊

[@concrete-waves]

thanks for watching bro! And ya, I do plan on making a video on the fathom - I've had it since it came out. Just giving myself more time with it - but it's coming

[@kaiplaygame6808]

@@concrete-waves oh STOKED, take yo time withs it! no rush no pressure

[@TheReal_DeanD]

Love that camera angle on the manual. Also thanks for putting out the info on the riders. That and the changing of the bushings on trucks. Getting those dialed in is hard. Thanks for this super detailed and well done comparison/review.

[@tom999]

great review/comparison, very informative. I have both. I think I like chinchiller (running with Paris 150,50+3degree in front and 43 degree in the back with 4presidents) more but poke is great board too.

[@concrete-waves]

Great insights, thanks for sharing tom :)

[@aether388]

How did you do the shot from 1:50 to 2:00, where you transitioned from panning the camera as the board passed by to it following you as you hopped on the board? I can't figure out what you did there but it looked really cool, nicely done

[@goofyfootgreg]

Ready to see the electric in the Chinchiller 👍👍

[@concrete-waves]

awesome! yeah ill prob do a vid on it at some point👍

[@selfade]

nice one. i see you have similiar riding style as me. you should go ahead and try Comet Cruiser. my favourite go to / have fun board ever.

[@viento99]

I'm 195 lbs and needed a 1/4" riser for the 70mm wheels 😂

[@TheReal_DeanD]

Oh the out takes were great too. Even Billy who is one excellent skater falls. That first one I don’t think I could have gotten up from so easily. To be young and fit.

[@scutls]

It is a great longboard for commuting over wet and rough roads. It shields from splashes and allows 75mm wheels. I use stiffer bushings to avoid wheelbite.

[@concrete-waves]

Nice! How long have you commuted on it? Like a few miles? Or longer? Thanks for sharing your perspective

[@Tomek_K.]

Top shelf review mate. As always. What do you think about Chinchiller vs Fathom Caguama. Yes, i know they are different breed. Traveling kilometers calmly, even on poor surfaces. No tricks. Broadly understood stability is very important to me. Can I ask for help in choosing a model? I probably won't buy it until I see your review of Fathom. Can't wait.

[@concrete-waves]

Thanks :) This is a tricky one to answer. But I would probably guess that the fathom would make more sense for going kilometers - the caguamas on poor surfaces will be better than the love handles

[@Tomek_K.]

@@concrete-waves thanks for reply. In the end I bought a custom... Coyote :D

[@concrete-waves]

@@Tomek_K. Awesome. The Coyote is great 👍

[@luisrodriges6964]

Hi there! It's a pity but Poke is no longer available. It has been disconnected.

[@Asheanae]

I set up the LY Ripper as a pumper, the chinchilla gives similar vibes! How would you compare the decks?

[@perezcoc0y406]

any recomm.,?my board wont turn sideways,it just go keep moving straight forward,it all started when i added something to elevate the trucks to avoid wheel bites.

[@pixbyflix]

Great test, thank you very much! Do you recommend the Chinchiller for riding pump track’s?

[@concrete-waves]

Yeah the flex is fun on a pumptrack. My bad for the late reply

[@PFULMTL]

Love this type of deck shape. Reminds me of my Bustin Shrike. Bustin recently make an electric Shrike, if you are looking for something to review.

[@concrete-waves]

Ya good point, definitely looks like the Shrike. I'll take a look at that electric shrike thanks

[@TheSurfskateboarder]

Realistically, how far would you cruise one of these on a nice day? Decent pavement. No crazy steep hills. Just mellow inclines and flat areas. Without trying to break records. Do you think someone like yourself would enjoy just a 5-10 mile cruise? 20-30?

[@concrete-waves]

I don't think I'd take this for longer distances. While, sure I think it's doable, I'd prefer a dropdown...something lower to the ground with 80mm+ wheels for higher roll speed

[@JodiBaskoro]

That bloopers are 😂

[@concrete-waves]

lol glad you liked em jodi 😂

[@benleek9791]

Can you review the ly rallycat?

[@concrete-waves]

I just got the rallycat so a vid is coming for it

[@konohaguy]

Have you tried using CX trucks with this board? If so, how does it compare to the Poke w CX?

[@concrete-waves]

Ahh I haven’t tried that yet but I’d imagine the CX would be really fun with the chinchillers flexiness

[@ShaiUI]

I don't have the poke. But I tried the chinchiller with both the Carver CX and C5 trucks. Pumping is really nice on top-mounted flexy decks like this. The CX while it works good, I found to be a little bit too bulky and wheels stick out of sides too much. So I prefer the C5's on this setup as the deck is pretty small and light. I did need to use 0.5inch risers for 70mm wheels on C5 though as the wheel wells on this deck don't align with carvers. CX don't need risers as the truck itself is big enough to hold 70mm.

[@GoosePlaysGuitar]

Solid.

[@concrete-waves]

Appreciate that thanks

This thing looks more interesting than Poke

[@concrete-waves]

Personally I like the flex of it more than the Poke but it's all preference

hi (first)

ayoooo you a real one

[@nickamarit]

On the Chin, flip the Love Handles or Stimuluses and they should feel better to ride. More responsive and also slides more crisp. Also, you should consider wearing a helmet for your content.
