Loaded Tangent Review: 36" Bracket Setup for Long Distance Skating (LDP)

See the Tangent on Loaded's site: https://i.loadedboards.com/117-120.html

The Loaded Tangent bracket setup is built for serious distance skaters and commuters. With its ultra-low platform and deep drop from the brackets, it offers exceptional stability and comfort, making long-distance skating smoother and more efficient.

The Tangent allows for large wheels, up to 105mm, without the need for risers, helping you roll effortlessly over cracks, bumps, and rough surfaces.

The setup uses Loaded’s Zee Brackets, designed by G/Bomb, which create a double-drop system that delivers a low center of gravity and a stable ride.

Whether you're commuting or going the distance, the Tangent’s large platform gives taller riders and those with wider stances more room to push and brake comfortably.

It's nimble, responsive, and fast-turning, even with the massive Dad Bod wheels, thanks to the brackets and the highly maneuverable 150mm Paris trucks.

If you're looking for a high-performance longboard with a focus on distance skating, the Tangent’s composite deck, slight rocker profile, and superb ride height make it an ideal choice for pushing your limits.
