Apex 40 Longboards by Original Skateboards

The Apex 40 longboard (new for 2012) is the culmination of the design concepts, trials, and tribulations, that began with the initiation of the Apex 37 project here at Original almost 4 years ago; originalskateboards.com/longb...
Of course that longboard development is only part of the story.
The riding seen here is the result of 4 years of hard work (in the face of adversity) by our team. With more riders (and styles) contributing to the effort than in any video we have ever released (more filmers as well), we feel that this video show cases the versatility of both the Apex 40 as a longboard and longboarding / skateboarding as a sport.
Ride how you want to ride,
Find a way to positively contribute to the things (sports or otherwise) that you love, and of course...
Go longboard.

Longboards by Original Skateboards im thinking of buying a longboard. But im not too familiar with them to know which one to buy. I want one that is made for just some simple cruising and some slidding. Any suggestions? Also nice video!!

This board is totally rad bro. I had the Chubby Unicorn for awhile but it just wasn't rad enough for me. So I chucked it into a totally rad wood-chipper. So then I was like, what board is rad enough? And I so first I got the Apex 37 thinking it would be totally rad, but it just was not all that rad. I couldn't do any of my rad slides. So I chucked that one too. Now I was like, well what else could possibly be rad enough for me? So after seven other boards and a rad amount of wood chips I got the Apex 40. Dude. Totally rad. I was bombing this rad hill and didn't even eat shit or anything. So rad bro man. Anyways, if you like rad boards this board is definitely the rad board for you. Thanks for your rad time dudes.

You are never too old. We have had people who called in in the past who want to longboard with their grand kids and are looking for decks. Start off with a stable cruiser, like one of the Original Pintails, and you'll learn in no time! I promise you're going to have a blast. -Lindsay

For me the DiamondDrop is my choice, but again, better is relative to what you want to do and what you like. I like the DiamondDrop because I feel like the drop helps me catch the deck during freestyle stuff, but I also like the fact that its lower for pushing. There are guys on the team that do prefer the DoubleConcave (Bishop for instance) but I like the Diamond a little better.

Word Cody. We are with you man and it is a project that is being worked on. It is just way more complicated than it might seem. The Apex is WAY thinner than the Drop Freeride 41 or really most decks out there. That gives it some serious advantages as far as the creation of nose guards is concerned. We aren't giving up on the idea but we have some tricky issues to solve as it stands right now.

My personal Apex 40 DiamondDrop slide / freestyle setup uses Caliber 44 trucks and currently one of the following wheels (depending on what I have access to): Abec 11 freerides or flashbacks, Volante Checkers or Morgans. Super solid. I am a little heavier than you at 175lbs but I love the board. I use it up to high 30s or low 40s and then swap to something more specific for downhill. That said I slide it consistently on the smaller stuff and have a lot of fun there too.

@originalskateboards 11 жыл бұрын

Right on man, yeah I caught that, I was saying you can def use them, but they don't work quite the same way carving on the Apex as it was designed with the S8s in mind. You can totally do it, it's just a real high setup, if that makes sense.

@originalskateboards 11 жыл бұрын

Hey Melz! Awesome to hear you are stoked on the DC. It really is a great, incredibly well rounded, board for cruising, carving, freestyle and sliding. At 5'2 you can totally ride it BUT it's obviously going to be a big board for you. Thats not necessarily bad, lots of people who are getting started in Freeride rock a wide wheelbase (ie. Landy 925 for instance). BUT you could wait until next month and pick up the new Apex 37 DC which is out of proto and IN production right now : )

Hey KEP, Stoked to hear you are jumping on a DiamondDrop, I probably ride that more than anything else just because we don't have a ton of huge hills, so I never really know what type of riding I am going to be doing. Could be tricks in the parking lot, sliding on the hills or I might leave it in the trunk when we go hit the pure DH spots. I would go with Original S8s only if you are going to be flatland 80% of the time (with a few parking garages). If you have hills, go Calibers for sure.

@originalskateboards 11 жыл бұрын

Hmm, well the thing is that when ever you start mixing a lot of different disciplines you usually give up something here or there. In the case of the Apex we pushed it as far as we could that said even in that case the materials cost more so thats the trade. The Apex sort of blends the carving of a Pintail 40 with the Sliding of the Drop Freeride. But it also brings in Freestyle and the strength to handle that sort of stuff, and a more expensive price tag.

When I am teaching riders to slide I usually choose something between 78a and 82a. Over that and the way the board breaks free / slide initiation seems to cause problems, under that and newer riders seem to have trouble with high siding.

You can add grip to a deck order. Most people get it gripped since its not really that much more expensive, just make sure you select "Gripped" when you check out, the ultra coarse stuff from RDVX is pretty sick imo. Plus that stuff is freaking sharp which definitely kicks ass as far as lock in but certainly gives incentive to be careful when gripping it yourself.

@originalskateboards 11 жыл бұрын

No big hills and as much freestyle as freeride is really the place where the Apex 40 and the new Apex 37 shine. We have put more focus into those boards as far as trick / freesstyle durability than I think has ever been put into a longboard. I also think that it shows. The pop you get out of the Apex with PK noseguards is not something you see every day. So long as you load the guards I LOVE this match for you.
