Great catch and a slippery time
Sorry I haven’t written a while, but I just got a new Loaded Fish. I got it for only 60 bucks because it was a blem model, but I see absolutely nothing wrong with, so for over 50 percent off, I have to say it is a great catch. I also picked up some tracker rts for the fish and some slide A superballs from Earthwing. I have only word to describe this: awesome.
This is by far the most fun board I have ever ridden on. The fish is so much lighter than my vanguard and it pumps like crazy. It also has a kicktail so you can do ollies and other skate tricks, which I really suck at and cannot do. However, what amazed me most were the earthwing slide a superballs. These are the best slide wheels I have ever tired, and I have to say they made me a much better slider.
I know that people say its 90 percent rider and 10 percent gear, but these superballs were such an enormous improvement from the clear kryptos that I have to say it’s the wheels that made me better. I did my first 360 slide, and I can hold out coleman slides for crazy long, even when not going fast. And speaking of fast, these wheels are so hard they feel almost plasticy, and because of that, I had a hard time getting speed. Fortunately you don’t need much speed because these wheels are so damn slippery.
The only downside I see to this is, like I said, they are very slow. Since these are the only sets of wheels I have available for my fish right now, it’s not quite the best cruiser. However I will be getting some new wheels so I can turn my fish into the ultimate crusing/pumping/sliding/grocery store run/ whatever board ever. Even if you have a cruiser already or even a mini, I recommend checking this board out because it is way different from any board I’ve ever ridden and tons of five.

Well the first thing I did was email Don at loaded, and asked kindly if they have any blemmished models. Usually these models just have the wrong graphics or something else that won’t ruin the integrity of the board, so I didn’t mind. If they don’t have any left, try going to some longboarding sites and check the classified. But your greatest chance of getting a cheaper deck is from the Loaded guys. You also have to get lucky as well, because when I asked they were clearing out inventory so they were selling it so low just to get rid of them.
Good luck.
