| The Hammerhead: This is the board that grabs everyone’s attention on the rack with its shape representing the shark that shares its name. Although the flowlab el arco truck in the front may bring out the hater in riders with flowlab experience, it’s really the tracker rts 149 in the back that makes this stick unique! While a duel flowlab truck setup is a chore to push and a trick to get the hang of, Loaded looked outside the arc, or at least away from the el arco in the back. They created a skateboard with the dive initiation of a snowboard, the stability and slide of a standard rear end, and a kick tail with an extra set of holes to change the wheel base from 29- 32 inches depending on the size of your sack. Everything rules on pleasure tools abec 7 bearings and 72mm inline wheels up front and krypto Hawaii k rears. Now while this thing may not be a joy to skate around town on, it is a treat on the steeps, cranking mad lean angles and tight turns. It tips the scale at only 6.6lbs! And it is not for the faint of heart.
The Hammerhead comes with a front Flowboard Deep Carve System (DCS) and rear Tracker RTS 161 Slalom trucks. Front wheels are 76mm inline, rear are 72mm centerset. |
