Switchblade 40 – Chief Night

(287 Reviews)

The Switchblade is perfect for riders who want a stable, easy-to-push board for commuting, learning to ride, and stepping up their freeride game. Its low ride height, thanks to the dropped platform and drop-through mounting, makes pushing a breeze and offers incredible stability at any speed. This board is also ideal for sliding and fast freeriding, with a symmetrical shape that lets you ride switch with ease. The

Key Features:

  • Low to the ground for effortless pushing and enhanced stability
  • Symmetrical shape for switch riding

DESCRIPTION

The Switchblade is a double dropped freeride shape that is designed to give you a low, comfortable platform for exploring big hills as well as getting around town as quickly as possible. Deep concave and foot pockets at the drops give you the reference points you need to explore the limits of your freeriding, and the 9 ply maple construction keeps the board stiff and under control. The 40 is the larger of the two sizes we offer, measuring 40″ long by 10″ wide and offers a driftier and more stable ride. This board comes set up with 180mm Gen 6 Grizzly trucks and 70mm Supreme Hawgs wheels for premium freeride capabilities straight out of the box.

TRUCKS

Gen 6 180mm

Redesigned from the ground up and incorporating technology perfected in our high end DH and Freeride trucks, Gen 6 Grizzlies are the best performing cast trucks on the market today. Game changing strength and highly refined steering geometry are just the tip of the iceberg.

WHEELS

70mm Supremes

The ultimate all-rounders, we designed the 70mm Supremes to do anything you could want to do on your longboard and do it well. We use a medium sized plastic core to work with the shape of the wheel and a 78a urethane formula for good acceleration and roll speed while providing predictable slides and ample grip. Upgrade your ride today with a set of Supremes.

SPACEBALLS

 Spaceballs are our answer to all of your bearing problems.  Never again can you lose your washers, or spacers because we’ve built them into the inner race!  On the functional side, this means your bearings are always mated correctly which negates any bearing-induced chatter.

OMG fun!!
I’m pushing 50 and realized I can still longboard to recapture my former youth. This skateboard arrived FAST and is absolutely beautiful! It boasts a wicked smooth ride, and also reminded me to buy a fresh set of good knee + elbow pads. :D I’m really going to enjoy my new board. To hell with anyone who gives me looks! Highly recommend these guys. Thanks, Landyachtz!

Fast & Powerful
Very happy with the purchase. Sturdy board that is great at high speeds downhill. Highly recommend for the more experienced rider who wants more of the luge effect. Still short enough to be able to carve, stop, and power slide.

15 year old teen as beginner loves this!
First time purchasing and riding a long board, my teen loves this!! He cannot believe how smooth it is and this is so much easier to haul around than scooters or bikes. The team for this company is phenomenal! We hope to add more as we learn, also found the YouTube videos helpful being a beginner.

I love everything about this board!
Really amazing quality! I ordered international shipping and have received it in a short period of time. The moment you ride it you can feel the quality difference between my first board that i have ordered online from Amazon and this one. Landyachtz exceeded my expectations in every way.

Heavy sets friend :)
I got the switchblade as my second commune board and so far as served me well I got it mainly because it is a nine ply board and is able to carry my 240 pound weight, it rides very smoothly and like a dream able to get over bumps rocks, and those yellow button things you see on the edge of sidewalks. If you’re a heavyset guy looking for a nice long and wide board and you’re not scared of speed, I highly recommend this one it won’t steer you wrong and you have a smooth ride while learning to take on hills! Be sure to learn how to footbrake tho

Worth every penny
I bought this board as a 6 ft 180 lbs guy who likes cruising and some hills as well as maybe learning to slide. I was worried the 40 inch may be too long with the 31 wheel base, but right out of the box it was responsive and nimble. I’ve never slid in my life and I decided to try it going down my neighborhood street and was able to get the tail end around within the first 5 minutes of cruising. The board is great quality and it rolls for what seems like forever with the 70 mm hawgs. Thanks Wolfgang for helping me with my order

I love it
I used to longboard a lot but stopped as I started traveling for work. I used to have a drop through drop deck Mercer and really liked that board. So as I wanted to get back into longboarding I was looking for the same board but found out that Mercer is warps and cracks which is exactly what happened to my old one. So I decided to go for the revered brand land yachtz and am not disappointed. Super thick board that doesn’t bend but still flexes really good. I’m very impressed with the Hawg supreme wheels but the bearings aren’t the best (which is okay for me right now since im still learning to ride again) but I have some bone swifts I’ll trade out when im ready. But all around good board, I’m enjoying it very much

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.
