Apex 40 Longboard vs. Truck Impact

[saeyoungyi]

What kind of trucks are the black matte ones?

[BrevityIsFTW]

Misleadingly bad video title. But awesome still.

[captain045]

for apex 40 longboards, av rocker concave, or double concave? whats the difference?

[Originalskateboards]

@captain045 Both concaves include kick tails, gas pedals, and a carbon reinforcement bar. Either concave is fine for freestyle and freeriding, but the double concave is geared more towards speed. It locks your feet into the boar for slides. The AV Rocker has taller kicks and is better for freestyle riding.

[pncho54]

hows the flex of the apex 40 is it stiff,snappy,or flexy?

[Originalskateboards]

@pncho54 It's pretty snappy for freestyle tricks. It's not super flexy, and it's stiff enough for freeriding control.

[KruizingKingz]

hi im 12 soon to be 13. longboarding is basicaly my life.me and my friend vinny are making a video right now. any free time i get i longboard. i was just wondering if you would check out my channel if you have any free time to spare to see if im anygood. i am probably not going to get sponsered by you but i need to know what i need to improve to get sponsered by you,if u look at it i would be so greatful and i thought it would be cool to have a kid sponsered.thanks from KruizingKingz

[Originalskateboards]

@KruizingKingz Hey! Send your video to our email! The team manager will take a look at it and will respond back with any tips you could improve on, or with sponsorship opportunities.

[BLXFrandy]

Apex 40 or Tan tien? i'm just looking forward to cruise around and go down some hills.

[Originalskateboards]

@BLXFrandy The Tan Tien has a bit more flex since it's made with bamboo and is great for carving. The Apex 40 is a bit stiffer and more durable since it has a carbon reinforcement bar. It also offers two concaves. The double concave would be a great choice for you since you're looking to ride hills since it offers comfy foot placement.

[TheProjectLongboard]

im a small rider and love crusing but i want to get into advanced tricks would this board be good cause im definatley considering buying and would it be AVrocker or Double concave for my type thanks

[Originalskateboards]

@TheProjectLongboard This board is great for freestyle tricks. You could get either concave, but the AVrocker is geared towards freestyle.

[Lolpwnzomg2]

I'm 5''4-5''5? What's my length?

[aznsurf98]

@Lolpwnzomg2 38' if you like a smaller ride, but around 40' is good, you could go higher

[Abertaboo]

Hello, I am wanting to get a new longboard but i dont know which one to get. I am 6' 1" and 160lbs, and I want to cruise, slide, and do some downhill. If you could respond it would help me greatly!!!!

[danidamofa]

[retardsrsmart]

@danidamofa bro dnt be hatin on people for havin the same wheels

[sniporay]

[sagejr]

[sagejr]

yea wtf is up with the glitch 0:54.

[Hingaroo]

we didn't actually see the truck come off the board so it could be fake!

[SilentBlackBird911]

how many cost?

[mrghostrage]

@SilentBlackBird911 check their website.

[lflongboard]

And that's how you break in a wheel

[1991hondaxr80]

instend of ruining boards just mail them to my i will pay a little bit of money for them and pay for shipping

[AKuohyawsquad]

Hey, I am looking to get into longboarding but don't know what board to get, I weigh 95 and about 4"9, Please reply, would help very much.

[Originalskateboards]

@AKuohyawsquad Hey! Thanks for providing us with your height and weight. What type of riding are you looking to do?

[Originalskateboards]

You are a pretty small rider, if you are looking to just cruise around / carve (just for fun) check out the Original Pintail 37. If you want to get into more advanced riding / sliding or tricks you could check out either the Original Freeride 38 or the Apex 37. Either one would be well sized for you.

[tgod4real]

@Originalskateboards hey what bout for me I am 350 and 6"10...

[Originalskateboards]

@tgod4real your best bet would be to wait for our cruiser weight flex of the Apex 40 to come out.

[iiGnut]

hey original. just wondering whats the main differences and size between the apex 37 and apex 40. i weigh 135 pounds, which one would be better for me?

[Originalskateboards]

@iiGnut Besides the 3 inch difference, the Apex 37 is also a bit lighter and more for flat land freestyle. The Apex 40 has kicks and comes in two different concaves, av rocker and double concave.

[cabe12aggo]

hey original what board would you recommend for me im only 70lbs and have been doing it for a year on globe boards!!

cheers caleb

[Originalskateboards]

@cabe12aggo Hey Caleb! What type of riding are you looking to do?

[mufmaxtv]

no, unoriginal( no pun intended here, but lol) original team rider, that is not what she said.

[FnSickAussie426]

hey is that avrocker or double concave? im getting the double tommorow

[RunFaster011]

Hey Original, what frame rate do you shoot most of your videos in? 24, 30 or 60?

[ImBlockedFromFB]

Why is there no graphics on the board?

[mrghostrage]

@ImBlockedFromFB there are graphics on the board that one is the same board but with no graphics.

[ImBlockedFromFB]

@mrghostrage ya i know that, i was just wondering if i could get one with a plan deck

[mrghostrage]

@ImBlockedFromFB just email them or call customer service if you could do that.

[Originalskateboards]

@ImBlockedFromFB sorry! We only sell them with the graphics already on the board.

[ImBlockedFromFB]

@Originalskateboards Okay thanks <3

[BrujoSabio]

:o

[WargasmJewce]

@Originalskateboards well this would be my first board and im having a hard time choosing a board i know what trucks wheela and bearings i want.

[WargasmJewce]

Hey original i weight 200 pounds and i was wonderin how much flex i would get on a apex 40.

[Originalskateboards]

@WargasmJewce you would get a good amount of flex, but you do not have to worry about the board being too flexy and bottoming out because it hard a carbon reinforcement bar.

[augsterlee]

@Originalskateboards Are you guys making more mini boards? Just Curious

[Originalskateboards]

@augsterlee We have our Manhattan 27 and Apex 34. We are going to work on the Derringer but it may not be until 2013 that we have that board available.

[HackYourFace]

Can you slide with any board/wheels? My board is a sector 9 and I have been trying to slide for ever. My wheels are 78a's im pretty sure. I'm getting real tired of stopping with my foot, I wanna slide so badly.

[Originalskateboards]

@HackYourFace yes, but certain types of decks, trucks, and wheels will help make sliding easier. 78a wheels are very soft and tend to grip the the pavement. Usually, you want to look for a wheel with rounded edges and a hard durometer, above 80a. As for your deck, some decks are specifically designed for sliding, such as our Freeride decks.

[WoleeJolee]

Hey Original, I'm 6'2 and a middle weight rider and was looking to buy the apex 40 double concave. I was wondering if it would preform well with S8's and red springs or if it's only a bushing truck kind of board because i want to do freeride still but mainly flatland freestyle

[Originalskateboards]

@WoleeJolee you can use Original trucks with the double concave! If you plan on freeriding you may want to go straight to the white springs for a bit more stability.

[acklab94]

i want to buy your new apex 40 double concave but since i dont live in the states i am afrid it will get caugth in the border and racck up border fees might have to make a trip to the states or do you guys know a away around such a thing

[doublehelixes]

@acklab94 Just order it without worrying. If anything happens, contact FedEx.

[Originalskateboards]

@acklab94 We aren't responsible for any custom fees that may apply but you can go to fedex's website to see how much they may charge your country. Otherwise, if you come here, we have many dealers in the states that carry our boards.

[mc0carrie]

my friend ran over her board last summer and it snapped in half. obviously she should have had this board.

[kmacuslegotacular]

Whats the best sliding/freestyle board that original makes that is easy to break into slides

[Originalskateboards]

@kmacuslegotacular the Freeride with rocker concave. The reverse camber pushes the trucks outwards enough to make sliding easy.

[PayneKillerxD]

What board is a better all around board? like for free riding and carving and stuff like that. apex 37 or apex 40?

[Originalskateboards]

@PayneKillerxD It's really personal choice and it depends on the type of riding you are more interested in doing. The 40 is a bit easier for freeriding since it comes with the double concave, and it also has kicks which helps for freestyle riding, however, it's a bit heavier than the Apex 37.

[AdamTheWize]

WHEELBITE!

[jevlaretards]

Hey originalskateboards! I'm thinking about buying a longboard of my own for the upcoming summer ( I live in Sweden ), but I got a hard time deciding which one to buy, looking for a city cruiser type board but I got no clue what type of category it would belong to, ie cruiser/carving, freestyle/freeride etc, any help / tips would be great!

[Originalskateboards]

@jevlaretards Hey! If you're looking for a good cruising board in the city I recommend checking out either the Pintail 37 or 40. They are 7 plys, so they're a bit stiff giving you stability, and they are lower to the ground, making pushing easy. They are also small enough to carve aggressively with when needed.

[jevlaretards]

@Originalskateboards Thanks for the quick reply! Yeah I took a closer look at the pintail boards as well as on the torpedo 40, now I've only been on a longboard a few times last summer, so if you were a newbie just like me, which one would you go with? Any of the pintail boards or the torpedo 40? Besides, how long would the shipping take to europe (roughly)?Thanks again for the fast response!

[Originalskateboards]

@jevlaretards When I was first starting out I liked having a board that had stability under me, so the pintails are an easier board to learn on. The shorter ones are better for flat land cruising and carving, and the longer ones are a bit stiffer, giving you more stability if you are looking to ride down smaller hills.

[jevlaretards]

@Originalskateboards Awesome, will go for one of the pintails then, thanks for the help!

[zombiechomp]

would have been better if it snapped

[LongboardingArchive]

@zombiechomp umm... No.

[LoadedDanC]

What kind of Abec11 wheels were those?

[iMeeep]

I wanna do a little downhill and freeriding, should I get an Apex 37 Carbon or an Apex 40 Double Concave?

[Originalskateboards]

@iMeeep the Apex 40 double concave would be much better for the type of riding you are looking to do. The double concave gives you a comfortable place to put your feet during slides or tucking at high speeds.

[hecticboiis]

hey love your vids but what whells are good for sliding

[Whutevzhappens]

Board cruelty?

[ElectrikZim]

i think this video is set up, notice how the video cuts at the precise moment they get the board from under the truck... either way, i ordered the apex 37 2 days ago :P wonder how long it will take starting tomorrow monday with the 70 bucks UPS shipping (only one shipping to my country)

[FurryWrecker911]

That is a damn good board. Made in America?

[AmauryPBP10]

Are u going to have a new apex 37 for 2012, it would be realy cool if you guys could make the apex 37 like the apex 40 with all the things it has like concave, kick tails, and a little bit of dropthrough :)

[surfurman123]

that's what I call fucking good quality

[bananarama471]

People are saying the Apex40 is over priced. But people have been buying over priced Loaded boards for years without complaining, and I'm sure the Apex40 will last longer than a Loaded. My friends Tan Tien lost its concave in 3 months.

[joshsmusicss]

talk about flat spots!

[techplusxbox]

I am having trouble figuring out which longboard to buy... The Apex 40 DoubleConcave or the AvRockerConcave? Which one???

[Originalskateboards]

@techplusxbox they're both a lot of fun. If you really can't choose, rocker if you plan on doing more freestyle, and double concave if you plan on doing more freeriding. However, either concave can do both types of riding!

[YomammaleeX]

hey im 15yr with no job whats the cheapest board you have to offer?

[Originalskateboards]

@YomammaleeX our cheapest deck would be the Manhattan 27

[De2t3ny]

holy shit i always thought they would easly break ..nao i know how stable they are o.o

[RainbowBrightDino24]

What Kinda Longboard Is That?

[noahconstrictor11]

What does DoubleConcave, RockerConcave, AvRockerConcave, and WConcave mean? What effects do they have on a board?

[KoruptHD]

hey, i just ordered an Apex 40, i got purple stims with em, but what wheels would u suggest? and what would be better, apex 40 or the apex 37? please respond :)

[MrxShizZ]

@KoruptHD For sliding/freeride, Abec 11 flashbacks, their also pretty cheap

[KosmicOverdose]

:44 Flatspot?

[bullet566]

heyy ive been longboarding for almost two years now and ive realized i like to just cruz arround town and bomb some hills here n there n carve .. any suggestion fo a board?

[GayRalphie]

hey me again im considering getting the apex 40 for freestyle im about 5foot 11 and about 190 pounds( muscular) i do not want my board to break if i get it and cant decide to weither to get the double con or the rocker, what do u think i shud get?

[az09az42]

i ksate , i dont longboard , but its hard to me learn kickflips and those things , i may try longboarding !

[longboardingdays847]

i need a board for freeride on smaller hills and freestyle, im about 5’10 and 140 pounds, what board fits me best?

[Originalskateboards]

@longboardingdays847 the Apex 40 with double concave would be a great board for you. It's a strong board that won't snap during freestyle riding, and the double concave keeps your feel locked in during freeriding.

[LongRangeBullet]

Wow. Cool!

[GayRalphie]

what type of board should i get, right now i have a loaded tan tien it is 39 inches, i want a bard bigger than that but with a nice kick tail to do shuvits and no-comply kind of tricks i slide and freeride what would you recomend????

[Originalskateboards]

@GayRalphie You could either get the Apex 40 with rocker if you're more interested in doing freestyle riding and some freeriding. Or, if you are more into freeriding then the Freeride with rocker concave would be a good board for you. It has taller nose and tail kicks than the tan tien, and the rocker will help you while sliding.

[ozmaster100]

What is the board made from?



[keeptryingnigga]

is a lie, change the image at the minute 0:55

[MrHDskate]

since this is your latest video when will Go longboarding 2011 come?

[Cool4524]

i am a begginer but i dont know what longboard is good for me can you tell me what a good longboard for begginer?

[Originalskateboards]

@Cool4524 check out our pintail series. They come in 4 different sizes depending on your height, weight, and the type of riding you're looking to do. They're great beginner through advanced boards

[RadBomber69]

Put some original trucks and see what happens. :)

[maliqueg]

@originalskateboards I need a board that is speedy around flat urban areas but can easily handle a hill the wheels I'm looking fir are 78a and its for everyday use what do you recommend I also need a low priced board

[Originalskateboards]

@maliqueg the pintail 37 would be a good board for you. It's small enough to get some aggressive carves in and can still handle some hills. Put the red medium tension springs in the trucks and you'll have more stability.

[hughgene]

Quick question can you money orders cuz I dont have a credit card

[Originalskateboards]

@hughgene yes! We can take a money order or check. Send our customer support team and email or give them a call and they'll help you out with the process

[Taco538]

Hey I'm about 190 and a just a bit higher than 5ft, and I have never ridden a longboard in my life! Any suggestions? Something good to learn on. Thanks!

[Originalskateboards]

@Taco538 the Pintail 43 would be a good board for you to learn on! It's a stiffer, stable board, that's low to the ground to make pushing easy. Put some white heavy tension springs in your trucks for a higher resistance and you'll still be able to carve and be stable

[asianniggar]

Can u guys try outpennyboardslz

[hockeydude673]

I need a board thats good for sliding im 5 3 and was thinking of getting the apex 40 but i heard smaller boards are better for sliding. which board will be good for me?

[Originalskateboards]

@hockeydude673 Hey if you want to slide and for your size, I suggest getting one of our 38" freeride boards.

[Powaslide]

@hockeydude673 yeah board with camber are a pain in the ass to slide

[Originalskateboards]

@hockeydude673 the Freeride 38 with rocker concave would be a good board for you if you're looking to do some freeriding

[cnimmas]

Uh, i'm about 5'8/7 and i'm 70 kilos, and i'm wondering what board I should get, I wanna be able to carve down hills, but i also occasionally try to shuv it, usually only shuv it, and i'm hoping to buy a board soon, what board and wheels do you recommend ?

[Originalskateboards]

@cnimmas Do you want to do more of hills/sliding or more freestyle tricks? If hills is more of your concern but still want to so some tricks go with one of our freeride boards. If its the opposite then go with either the apex 37 or 40.

[cnimmas]

@Originalskateboards I usually just carve down hills, I think the apex will do. What wheels do you recommend, everything else I know what to choose.

[Originalskateboards]

@cnimmas I would go with the orange stims

[cnimmas]

@Originalskateboards Alright, thanks so much. :D

[Myxboxisarobot]

chuck norris's long board right there

[BlackRougeTactics]

Hey original, I'm trying to decide if I should get an apex 40 or one of the freeride boards. Which one would be better for high speed freeriding and downhill and also be able to slide good? Also what is the difference in the concaves of the apex 40?

[Originalskateboards]

@BlackRougeTactics If your more into freeriding you should go with the freeride. The difference between the Av and the double concave is the double concave is more geared for speed/freeriding.

[ItsMissSasha]

What wheels are those??

[MrGrfs]

that is awesome

[FAYDExGaming]

i know you get this alot but i am 5'9 and 120 pounds and i like freestyle and and crusing i also like to shuv it and carving so eny help on finding a longbored??

[Originalskateboards]

@FAYDExGaming Hey you should go with the apex 37 or 40.

[FAYDExGaming]

@Originalskateboards but whats the differences??

[RacATheFurious]

where the first few parts were shot? Landscape is really stunning

[Thunderking17]

New Jersey...

[Catsenjoi]

hey original, im 5'4 about 130-135 lb. right now im riding a freeride38rc and i LOVE it. but im looking for a board that is better for freestyle. if you could give me any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

[OMFMlongboard]

@Catsenjoi Probably the Apex 37...maybe an Apex 34 if you like shorter boards.

[therealbustermiller]

only thing they don't notice is that it splits a shit ton

[tristonnew]

Is this a good longboard to go sliding? im looking for a new one and really want an original

[OMFMlongboard]

@tristonnew Yes it is.

[seaniebe1]

are those flashbacks on everyones board

[LongboardBail]

It kinda looks like the apex 40 is a drop deck but the drop is like 1/4 am i right? or is that from getting run over?

[FAYDExGaming]

I want a Apex 40

[thegang98]

what were they filming when this happened

[rebelrevolution22]

@Originalskateboards your truck sounds like chewbaka taking a shit 

[hockeydude673]

apex 40 vs apex 37 whats the difference

[emptysoul5]

@hockeydude673 there different boards. apex 40 is of course longer has 2 different concaves nose and tail kicks better for free ride and freestyle. all around way better board. if your trying to decide which one is better get the 40 :)

[MrKidTheMan]

that guy in red shows off too much -__-

[zzz4488]

Hey Original I was looking into Apex 37 awhile ago but I have fallen in love with the Apex 40DC for the versatility but I was curious are your Freeride decks a whole lot better at freeriding than the Apex 40? and before I wanted to make my purchase it would be great to see a video besides this one showcasing the abilities of the board!

Thanks

[SoCalBeachesMagazine]

Wow that is crazy!

[Brownbear712]

What apex 40 should i get, coz i was thinking dubble concave but thought it would be awkard for flatland tricks and stuff because you have an other concave near the nose/tail. Anyone wanna help me with ideas?

[ilovebrayden7]

Fuck yah I'm gonna get one no more get smashed boards from carswhen the board goes flying out from underneath meh thanks

[LoadedLongboarderz]
