if you want to jump on your deck and use it as a tumbling, buy a apex37.

been there, did that, it kicks ass !

and it never looses the POP

Nice video man! I've got Tan Tien Flex 2!))

[illynshik]

NICE MAN I Got Tan Tien Flex 2=))) Loaded Best!!!

[MrJiveturkey123]

chip the rippa...niggas real

[ZyklonCable]

I wouldnt litarally "jump" on my longboard. i mean it doesnt take instant damage but the flex goes a little faster, or it isnt just good fpr the flex

[DerekGustafson614]

@ZyklonCable ive jumped harder on it during numerous tricks so your flex is going to sag regardless

[ZyklonCable]

@DerekGustafson614

um okay, i just heard in a forum that it just "flexes out" after some time, u know what i am talking about? the flex slowly gets weaker

[DerekGustafson614]

@ZyklonCable yup bamboo looses its snap, becomes flexier, and eventually sags. ill upload another flex test after like 6 months of riding

[bouv1234]

if you want to see a review for the apex vs the tan tien come see my channel

[heyitzclint]

hey im like 115 and i like kinda less flexier boards cuz i already have a superglider and its not very flexxxyyy sooo flex 2 or flex 3?

[DerekGustafson614]

@heyitzclint well a flex 1 literally won't flex and the flex two would not really flex. So depends how not flexy you want it

[kajigeani]

CAN THE TAN TIEN GO FASTER THAN THE SECTOR 9 AND THE GRAVITY KALAI?

[DerekGustafson614]

@kajigeani depends on rider

[riderozy]

that kids got cankles tho

[DerekGustafson614]

@riderozy your observation skills are sub-par. High tops...

[khleboswell]

@SiiGhTzPS3 get a flex 2 dude itll be a pain if you getta flex 3 especially when trying to do tricks

[DerekGustafson614]

@khleboswell agreed! you would bottom out like its your job

[ruig]

I seriously have the exact same setup bro!

[SiiGhTzPS3]

i wheigh 165 you think if i get a flex 3 will it snap for the tan tein

[DerekGustafson614]

@SiiGhTzPS3 no it will flex nicely but it wont be able to take the beating as much as the higher flexes

[becandjoshify]

i weigh 165 would it be cool if i still get a flex two but i want to learn some tricks on it too?

[THUNDERbaseball20]

Do you ever get wheel bite? Does this board require size because im getting it and idk if i need new trucks

[DerekGustafson614]

@THUNDERbaseball20 i have never had wheel bite i have had 80a in heats(75mm) and 86a stims(70mm). Not really sure what you mean by size?

[kiilers1]

DUDE are those pink trucks

[xELCHADLO]

@kiilers1 there red man, paris crimson red to be exact.

[DerekGustafson614]

@xELCHADLO they are pink randalls...supporting breast cancer

[E3multimedia]

what song?

[DerekGustafson614]

@E3multimedia Feel good by chip tha ripper

[iiRideLoadedx]

i got a flex 3

[FingerboardingSylt]

nice trucks dude ;D

[DerekGustafson614]

@WacoLongboardClub idk if you know this but your the coolest kid i know...not

[caldodecanna]

dude i weight little less than 180 do u think the flex 2 would be too flexy? i was gonna get the flex 1 but i think it would be too stiff.. what do u think?

[DerekGustafson614]

@caldodecanna depends if you are going thrash the shit oput of this board go flex 1 but if your going to carve slide and other things that are not jumping as hard as you can on it then go flex two

[caldodecanna]

@DerekGustafson614 yeah im not into the whole jumping shit... mostly carving, sliding and an eventual manny and shuvit at most

imma go with flex 2 thanx man..

[SomeDANKshit]

@caldodecanna im 150 and i got flex1 and its way way to stiff. i regret it :(

[lolmovin]

hi,is flex 3 the hardest,the flexiest

[DerekGustafson614]

@lolmovin flexiest

[ktjohn92]

pink randalsX3!!!! omg

[FreeskierSean]

@ktjohn92 yeah. did you paint them or dye them?

[rangerboi00]

How do you like the Randall 180s? I got gullwing chrager 10-inch

[DerekGustafson614]

@rangerboi00 Randalls are legit but if i remember they pretty much ride the same way.

[jjjabberjaws]

@DerekGustafson614 not to be a dick but they ride so difrently randals are lighter and feel smoother chargers feel twitchy and weigh alot compared to the randals

[DerekGustafson614]

@jjjabberjaws i don't have them ive only ridden them a few times but tell it that kid bc obvi i don't buy gullwing

[LoadedTtF]

@jjjabberjaws I agree i got chrager on mine right now and they feel so much different than paris 180s.. ica nt figure out why thouhg.... my bamboo sunset sector 9 sits so much lower than my loaded tan tien....

[midnightcobra1111]

@LoadedTtF just a reminder, it will break in overtime.

[tybreak26]

i weigh about 95 and im getting a tan tien... flex 3 ?

[TheNonProgidy16]

i weigh 120 lbs would you recemond me a flex 3??? i know the starting weight for flex 3 is 80 lbs, which i am 40 lbs over...so i am a bit sceptical. so i want to play it safe and go for a flex 2. so would you you recmond for me?

[DerekGustafson614]

@TheNonProgidy16 me at flex 2 is pretty stiff but i rode a flex 3 and it felt flexy for me but or you i would recommend a flex 3 because your lighter. But if u are young and are growing i would recommend 2 just because u will grow into that flex

[LoadedTtF]

@TheNonProgidy16 i got a flex 2 and i wiegh 190... I used to have a bamboo sunset sector 9 and it was like a flex 3... in my opinion the flex 2 in the tan tien could def be lil bit more flexier... so in other words go for the flex 3 my man!

[Tilezs]

Okay, i just realized, you have like 2 seconds of actual flex test. When you make a flex test video, actually test it.

[DerekGustafson614]

@Tilezs me jumping in the middle isnt going to help you because no one actually rides like that i wanted to show the flex pattern when actually ridding.

[jwfarino]

i was kidding......?

[Tilezs]

Thank god. A flex 2 test :P

[Noise789]

ride on bro! mine is on back order for about 3 fucking weeks... FUUUCCCKKK! haha keep at it bro.

[DerekGustafson614]

@Noise789 i waited for mine for like 7 weeks but trust me its worth it ill have a new video up some time in the near future ridding it
