Designed by Landyachtz team rider Mike McGoldrick for ultimate control during higher speed carving and drifting. Ideal for riders of all levels, easy to ride around town and right at home on big hills carving like hell.
+ Drop mounted, providing a more stable ride and making it easier to push and foot-break.
+ Rocker shape to provide a unique feel many riders find more comfortable, also making it easier to transfer force from feet to wheels for drifting and sliding.
+ Outward sanded rails, or Gas pedals”, give riders a little extra meat to work with when their feet are hanging off the edge of the board.
+ Very handy for drifting or railing tight corners.
Arbor’s chopped down swallowtail – the Sizzler, with its fat, functional, concave shape, kicked tail and nose, and tight wheelbase is ideal for slashing banks, powering down the line, or carving tight pocket turns.

KOA DECKS: made with seven plys of hardrock maple and a finish ply of Hawaiian Koa, all of which are sustainably sourced. Koa’s more densely packed fibers add important structure, which improves return, while providing a one-of-a-kind grain pattern on each deck. Koa wood was used by the Hawaiians to build the 1st surfboards over 600 years ago.
WOOD BY-PRODUCT: all wood by-product created during the production of our skateboards is reclaimed for use in other Arbor products or by outside companies. This allows Arbor to stretch an important resource, while helping to reduce the strain on landfills and forestlands.
RECYCLED GLASS RE-GRIP: most Arbor decks are gripped with long-lasting crushed recycled glass. This ultra clear re-grip surface allows the deck’s natural grain and color to remain highly visible, while providing better performance than silica bead alternatives.
WATER BASED FINISHES: all Arbor skateboards are produced using a water-based sanding sealer and final finish to avoid polluting the air we breathe, especially when skating.
Arbor’s compact pin – the fish was designed with a hyper-extended wheelbase, timeless teardrop shape, and concave profile to provide both carve and downhill function. Completes include: Arbor 65mm 78a durometer street series wheels, Abec 5 bearings, and 9 Gullwing Chargers trucks.

BAMBOO DECKS: made with six plys of sustainably sourced hardrock maple and a power ply of environmentally friendly Bamboo. Bamboo is a remarkably renewable, sustainably grown material. By adding bamboo as a power-generating deck-side ply, we not only give our skateboards that clean Zen flavor, we deliver much improved return and lasting durability.

Just let go and ride! This video captures the essence of longboarding, Kyle Chin skates from top to bottom down a beautiful hill in Outerspace. Wanted to capture a bit of freeriding, DH, slow motion and scenery. Shot with a Canon 7D, LENS Sigma 10-20mm f3.5 and Sigma 70mm f2.8. This is why we ride. . .
Loaded is recalling all Purple (83a) Orangatang 75mm In Heat wheels purchased between 2/27/09 and 4/29/09 as well as all Orange (80a) Orangatang 75mm In Heat wheels purchased between 3/14/09 and 4/29/09.
They’ve recently determined that a small percentage of the cores (produced by a third party vendor) used in these batches are not up to Loaded’s rigorous quality control standards and may run the risk of shearing the bearing seat (blowing out the core and possibly causing the wheel to separate from the truck while in motion), creating a safety hazard to the user. This is a voluntary recall: Consumers should stop riding these wheels immediately and return the wheels (along with date of purchase so Loaded can ascertain that it’s from this batch) to an authorized Loaded Boards/Orangatang dealer or to Loaded Boards, Inc. for a FREE replacement set. Loaded and all dealers will gladly exchange the wheels for any wheel of choice, including the new Freeride wheels, provided the wheels are in stock or accessible.
The silver lining is that, while these cores have worked well up until this batch, Loaded will be switching over to a new 3rd generation core for future IN HEATS that provides better wear and slide characteristics. Loaded encourages the performance use of these wheels and ensures that they will hold up to the rigorous use and abuse that they are designed for. Loaded is fully committed to every product they build and they hope you will love them as much as we at Shoreline of Tahoe do.
RETURNING YOUR WHEELS
If you are near the Tahoe area, Shoreline of Tahoe will be happy to assist anyone who needs new Loaded Wheels. We have 4Presidents in stock and we will have the new revamped IN HEATS as soon as they are available.
Remember you can return your wheels to any Orangatang Dealer with proof of purchase.
WHAT IS PROOF OF PURCHASE? – we need to see a receipt of some kind so we know when you bought these wheels -it can be a bank statement with the date and the costs of the wheels – the actual receipt if you still have it -the online order receipt-If you don’t have a Proof of Purchase, email Loaded at, coreissue@loadedboards.com.
Sorry for the hassle but on the BRIGHT side, a NEW set is coming your way.
