Rayne Timeline Review

No Comments 13 February 2010

Landyachtz Evo Review

No Comments 11 December 2009

The Landyachtz Evo is a 11 ply drop board that is super stable yet very responsive at the same time. Taking the Evo on the first hill of the day felt great as I busted some hard carves and felt just how fast she could go. This thing just begs to be taken fast with such [...]

Loaded designed these wheels with radiused inner lips and come prebroken in so their certainly slide ready from the get go. My previous wheels were the Landyachtz Hawgs 77mm (78A) and [...]
