Loaded Longboards from California
"We build what we want to ride " - We build what we want to ride. The philosophy of a longboard manufacturer can't be summed up any more precisely or accurately than that: Loaded is one of the labels that have been instrumental in making longboarding a serious sport that no longer has to hide behind skateboarding and snowboarding. How did Loaded manage to do that? We'll tell you.
Loaded, the company that initially only built snowboards, is based in California - the place where you can casually cruise and carve along the boardwalks as well as whiz down steep hills.
The success story of longboarding
The Loaded label is considered a manufacturer of real high-tech longboards. This is due to the fact that Loaded has been experimenting with different materials from the very beginning, including boards made of bamboo, cork and fiberglass .
Today, Loaded not only makes us happy with high-quality longboards and the matching accessories, such as clothing and gloves, but also makes longboarding "suitable for the masses". The reason for this are the spectacular videos that the label has spread on the Internet, which show how much skill is needed to ride a longboard.
The tricks shown and rapid freeride descents eventually convinced more and more boarders and so it came that Loaded has a great influence on today's longboarding scene . For this reason alone, the label deserves the absolute cult status and is considered by many longboard fans as the ultimate.
Also the sponsoring method of the label provides again and again for. Instead of exclusively promoting professionals, Loaded also sponsors amateur riders. They benefit from this cooperation, of course, but also give the label a lot in return:
- Among other things, the riders act as product testers, faces of the label and leaders of the community that has formed around Loaded.
- Part of Loaded's promotional program is to give riders the opportunity to publish their own longboard videos on the label's YouTube channel - generating more reach.
- Give and take. Actually a very simple story - but that's exactly how Loaded manages to build a very special bond with the scene.
Perfect quality that convinces
Loaded knows how to stay in the conversation - that much is certain. But not only the marketing, but also the products of the label convince across the board. Many riders are particularly convinced by the carving decks and their tremendous flexibility and recommend them diligently.
The functionality of the decks is complemented by trendy designs. Clearlines, fresh colors and a little flourish here and there - that's what makes the look of a board from Loaded. By the way: Even if the boards from Loaded are a bit more expensive - the purchase is worth it. All longboards of the brand are very durable and virtually "indestructible".
Perfect workmanship, cool designs and a marketing strategy that fuels the cult of the longboard every day anew - these are the ingredients from which the brand Loaded is made. The boards convince with their changeability and their excellent make. Once you've bought a Loaded longboard, you'll probably keep it for life.
How do I find the perfect Loaded longboard?
Choosing your first or even second longboard can be a very difficult decision. The following overview will help you find your favorite board.
Compared to traditional skateboards, longboards have several subtleties in design and features that can drastically change your riding experience from one board to another. With this helpful guide, brettsport is happy to help you categorize your options into easy-to-understand categories to give you the knowledge you need to choose the best board for your next ride.
HYBRID BOARDS
Hybrid longboards combine elements of traditional skateboards and modern longboard design and advanced longboard construction. Hybrid boards offer users the ability to do ollies or other street skating tricks, but also offer a longer wheelbase to make cruising and standing on the board more comfortable. For those looking for something small and simple, there is Loaded Poke in the hybrid range. If you want a more rugged yet modern take on the traditional skateboard, check out the Loaded Coyote.

Loaded and Brettsport.de
Loaded has been part of Brettsport from the beginning. Already in 2013 the Loaded boards were a fixed part of our assortment. This has never changed, even with up and down trends in the market.
We have always been the dealer in Germany with the highest availability of these coveted Complete Boards. Also the option to configure the boards indvidually in our online store, like on the Loaded-US site is unique.
