Loaded Boards Icarus Bamboo Longboard Skateboard – Flex 1 (170-250+lbs) – Ultimate Carving Experience

The Loaded Boards Icarus Bamboo Longboard Skateboard is a remarkable fusion of design, performance, and functionality. Engineered for versatility, this longboard is perfect for a variety of riding styles, including snowboard-style carving, pumping, freeride, freestyle, and urban commuting. With its innovative features, the Icarus stands out as a premier choice for both seasoned riders and newcomers to the world of longboarding.

One of the most notable features of the Icarus is its utilitarian design. The drop-through truck mounting system lowers the deck closer to the ground, resulting in enhanced stability and easier pushing. This design is particularly beneficial for those who commute on their longboards, as it allows for a smoother and more efficient ride. Additionally, the cambered profile and variable edge concave provide a lively and precise riding experience, making every carve feel effortless.

Another standout feature is the board’s strong, light, and damp construction. Constructed from vertically laminated bamboo and fiberglass, the Icarus is designed to be both durable and lightweight. This combination provides a lively and energetic flex, which is essential for hard carving and pumping. The cork bottom layer not only adds to the board’s durability but also effectively dampens vibrations, ensuring a comfortable ride over various terrains.

The Icarus caters to different rider preferences with its high-performance flex. The board is available in two flex options: Flex 1, which is ideal for riders weighing between 170-250+ lbs, and Flex 2, suited for those weighing between 75-200+ lbs. This flexibility allows riders to choose a board that best fits their style and weight, enhancing the overall riding experience.

Moreover, the board features premium components that elevate its performance. Equipped with Paris 180mm 50° trucks, the Icarus provides smooth and agile turning capabilities. The upgraded Orangatang Nipples (soft/orange) bushings further enhance the board’s lively and energetic carving performance. Additionally, the Orangatang 80mm 80a Kegel wheels deliver unmatched roll speed, grip, and smoothness, ensuring a top-tier riding experience. The package also includes Loaded Jehu V2 bearings, further enhancing the board’s performance.

When it comes to design, the Icarus boasts shapely curves that significantly enhance ergonomics while contributing to a responsive ride. The wheel well flares accommodate larger wheels, improving turning leverage and control. The variable concave yields a consistent flex pattern, offering a variety of riding experiences based on foot placement. This thoughtful design ensures that riders can enjoy a dynamic and engaging ride no matter their style.

For those who enjoy tricks and urban navigation, the Icarus incorporates practical kicks with minimal nose and tail kicks. This feature allows riders to maneuver through city streets easily and opens the door for freestyle tricks. Whether you’re commuting or carving down a hill, the Icarus is built to handle it all with style and grace.
