DESCRIPTION

Out of the box, it’s fully dialed with Bear Gen 6 Bear trucks, the setup provides deep, responsive carves and smooth transitions into drifts, giving riders total control in technical terrain. The 70mm Supreme Hawgs wheels, known for their buttery slides and excellent grip, allow for seamless drift transitions, making it easy to initiate and control slides while maintaining speed. When it comes to downhill racing, the Switchblade has proven itself as a true contender, consistently topping podiums in competitive events. Whether you’re taking tight turns or bombing fast, technical runs, this board is the perfect choice for racers who want to take their skills to the next level. The deck’s aggressive concave and deep foot pockets lock your feet in place, providing a secure stance that enhances confidence during long stand-up slides and quick speed checks. Its low center of gravity reduces the risk of speed wobbles, making high-speed slides more stable and easier to initiate. Whether you’re learning stand-ups, perfecting pre-drifts, or sending massive slides down steep hills, the Switchblade’s design and setup provide the ideal combination of control, comfort, and confidence for freeride enthusiasts. The Switchblade 38 is the more compact version of the classic Switchblade, measuring 38″ long by 9.8″ wide, offering extra grip and agility for aggressive riding. The smaller deck size makes it easier to control stand-up slides and quick speed checks, making it a great choice for riders who prefer a more playful freeride experience. Additionally, its lighter weight makes it more portable and easier to push, making it a great choice for both freeride sessions and casual commuting.

Landyachtz Switchblade is just a BEAUT!

now if I have to give my opinion on this board!? they say that Landyachtz has a rep of being the best and man they won't lying! when I was looking to get my first ever board, my eyes always had a spot for this board, and after spending time learning, finally got my hands on this as my gut told me this is a board for me and was more than right! I absolutely love this board to the point I don't want any other. if I was suggest this board, you wont be disappointed. and this is coming from someone who is not a downhill but with this, I may start.

Second board

I'm new to long boarding and I bought this one after my Drop Hammer. Honestly, I wasn't sure how I'd feel about the dropped grooves but oh my god I feel so secure and it makes carving so easy! I haven't tried out sliding yet but it really feels like it can be kicked out easy if needed. Perfect board for those who are just wanting to get into free riding, but it also amazing for just regular cruising as well. This board is so so versatile. I'm a Landyachtz fanboy at this point

Flex Ratings

We’ve categorized the stiffness of our boards into 3 main groups, listed below.  The general rule is the faster you’re skating, the stiffer the deck, but this is not universal.

Flexy – Soft and supple flex profile best suited for carving and cruising on longer boards. The bouncy nature of these decks lets you turn deeper and surf your surrounds.

Medium – The do it all of our boards, a perfect balance of stability and carve. 

Stiff – From cruisers to downhill boards a stiff flex profile excels in stability and responsiveness.  Whether you’re dipping into driveways or bombing a mountain pass you’ll be down with the stiffness.
