Apex 37 Longboards in the Warehouse 

I was 14 when I saw this video the first time. I'm 23 now and this song is still listened to by me on a weekly basis. Big ups.

These guys inspired me way back when I was 11-12. 19 years since I've watched this video and it made me smile from cheek to cheek, been wanting that Apex 37 since day one, I love these guys, the nostalgia this gives me could make me cry!

That guy who does the tricks with his foot in the middle of the board is basically the Rodney Mullen of longboards to me.

I'll always will remember this video. I star longboarding since i know you guys, always dreaming of skating like you while listening to this wonderful song, and now im in 2019 still skating and still improving my tricks, im just so proud of the inspiration you gave me past few years, love you guys

Dutch has so much style! It's too bad he left I would have loved to see him shred all the new boards original has out!! Would be epic haha

Loved this vid since I was 6 I'm 17 now and still watch it twice a week or even more

This is nostalgic as hell.... I havn't been longboarding in over about 2 maybe even 3 years now, but this was one of the many videos released back when I was skating. This video and Let go with Kyle chin were the two videos which started me longboarding......good ol' days :L I miss it

For all who ask for the song! "Black River Killer- Blitzen Trapper. :) Just enjoy longboarding i'm new on longboarding and i need few tips help!

La ultima vez que vi este video fue como 9 años atrás, era un chico y soñaba con esto. ahora lo vuelvo a mirar y me da nostalgia. La sensación intacta de esa libertad con amigos

I watched it with 8 and now I am 18ten... Crazy how time flys. NOSTALGIA

Watched this as a 13 year old middle school student in computer class, now I’m a 24 year old man watching this in my office. Life changes fast. I hope everyone’s doing good. This video made everything good when it wasn’t always good for a lot of us.

what's the trick at 1:05? cos its so awesome

i just got myself an apex 37 and it is a beautiful board.

Totally. Do you know how to slide already or are you just learning? If you already know how to slide and are more of an intermediate, I would look at the Arbiter 36 as it gives you a lot of high end performance. That said if you don't know how to slide yet, or want easier slide initiation (harder to hang up) something like the Drop Freeride 41 or Maven 35 would help make your slide initiation at lot smoother as a beginner just learning.

Actually we have quite a lot of customers from the Netherlands as well as one of our best sponsored trick / freestyle skaters. Though it wasnt shot in the netherlands, we just filmed a video in Belgium featuring some riding that is based on flatland; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FMYfVG0ZRFo.html Longboarding can still be a lot of fun for flat areas, but the type of board you are looking for and the type of riding you will do will be different from what you see on hills.

Well, you got the the riders part right. We have been investing in tricks, freestyle, riders who pursue them, and boards that are better for that style of riding years. Tricks, freestyle and having fun on flatland is what you are watching here. The Apex is NOT a dh board and it is a part time freeride board, but it is a full on freestyle deck. If you don't need tricks, don't get one, but don't talk like it's trash, that just isn't the case. It crushes this stuff.

20mph is actually a pretty quick low end speed. Usually when someone is looking for 20mph+ they are going to be doing at least a little bit of higher speed stuff 30 to 35 and probably here and there going faster than that. If you are just getting into speeds like that I would take a look at the Maven 35. If you are a veteran though you should absolutely look at the Arbiter 36. Super cheap and a great high performance speed deck for advanced riders. Either would work well for you I think!

We look at all kinds of stuff. Obviously how well you are at riding, helps out a ton.. but we don't just sponsor anyone. We also want riders who longboard because they love the sport, they're passionate about the company they are riding for, and they get out in the community by going to events and whatever else to spread the stoke! Send us an email if you want to talk with the team manager! -Lindsay

Jeez Billy, I think you might be a little over board on this one. Skateboarding is what you make it, if you choose to make it longboarding thats your call. You can also choose to prefer one style to another, most of us do. That being said none of those choices be-little a specific group of people the way you dropping the F-Bomb does. While it may not offend you, but it certainly offends me. There are plenty of other places where BS like this will fly, this is not one of them.

The boards are almost identical in weight with the AvRC lighter by a bit less than an ounce which is not nearly enough to make a it a deciding factor. Easier fliptricks are going to come on the AvRC though some people think the kicks actually provide too much pop for the Apex 34 length. For a smller rider I do not believe this will be the case and I still recommend the Apex 34 AvRC consistently to freestyle / freeide riders who are below 5'3''

Haha nah you got it right, only thing missing is a little description of the type of riding you want to do. For a general carving, cruising, not so serious fun loving type ride we recommend the Pintails, for you I would say the Pintail 40 would be right in your sweetspot as far as height / weight. Alternately if you are planning on getting into sliding and more serious riding the Freeride 41 or Drop Freeride 41 would fit you nicely. It just depends on what you want to do with that deck.

"Big" stand ups are difficult on Original trucks BUT little stand ups are actually much much easier due to Original trucks easing initiation. That said the hook up that Original trucks increase makes holding longer stand ups more difficult. So. if you are learning to stand up slide there is no better truck to learn on...well maybe a drop-through'd caliber on the Drop Freeride. That said, Original are a very good intro to sliding.

Yes in some ways, no in others. For the most part longboards have a longer wheelbase than skateboards meaning that your stance (for most beginners) will be in between your truck mounts as opposed to on top of them, or one foot on the tail one foot in the center (on a shortboard). This makes it easier to not kick the board out from under you. That being said longboards also generally use trucks that are more loose than shortboards. This allows you to turn more easily.

Depends if you are planning on getting into sliding / downhill or not... and that will likely depend on whether you live some place flat or someplace with hills (or maybe even some place with crazy good hills). As a base recommendation the Apex series is a blend of carving (if you go Original trucks) freestyle and freeride (better freeride without Original trucks, at the cost of carving).

Even if you decide to get an Original this time, there isn't a need to look at it like switching. You can have one of each and in fact that is a really good place to get perspective on what each company is going for and how that relates to what you like to do. You can get a board with kicks from Original. The DK Apex 40 is 2 inches longer than the Tan Tien and has kicks. For something even more different load up the PKs on that Apex 40 and you will really add pop.

Well, possibly : ) What type of riding are you looking to do? If you want to do some tricks, but you also want to carve cruise and do a little bit of sliding, the Apex 37 would be a great choice. Depending on whether you are going to grow a little bit more or stick with your 5'2'' you may want to go with the new DK Apex 34 which comes out in about two weeks. That would be a better freestyle / all around board for smaller riders, though the Apex 37 would certainly be an option as well.

Hey NTS, The Freeride 44 and Freeride 41 are relatively new so I don't believe you will see a sale on them any time in the near future. That said we did just change the pricing for spring to reflect the new upgrades in manufacturing, the Freeride 41 is now $99.00 while the Freeride 44 is 109$. Until we get the site updated you have to add to cart to see the price.

Hey Kate, Depends on the trucks, depends on the wheels, depends on the board and depends on the bushings (which depend on your weight). Topmounts are far from a one size fits all type of deal. That said they are serious performers when tuned right; See the Arbiter 36 video we just finished and uploaded. If you give some more info we can probably help out.

Sure Paul, what kind of hills are you riding? Big stufff, small, medium? Also how tall and how heavy are you? Do you know how to slide yet or are you just learning. We can definitely help out but need some more info for sure. Without knowing that stuff it would be way more of a guess than anything else. Just "a board for sliding and freeride" is pretty broad ; )

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, which is whats awesome about the world in general. We totally appreciate the support but a lot of times people take this the wrong way. The Apex is geared for a rider who wants tricks and freeride, but isn't into pure downhill. For that, it is amazing, and it sounds like you might agree haha

Hey, What you're talking about is pushing "mongo". Lots of people do it when they are learning to skate, and some people do it even after they get better! You might get some negative comments from people about it, but as long as you are skating and having fun, that's what matters most. Screw the haters and shred! - Bish

Hey, Our warehouse is used for many different things, skating being just one of them. Sometimes we have large shipments that come in which take up a lot of space that make skating difficult. We have visitors that come by and check it out, but for liability reasons, we cannot open the ramps for public use. If you want to come by and check it out though, feel free!

You can slide with any longboard, but like many things there are specific setups that work better for sliding then others. You can start on S8 trucks, like I did. They have a tight turning radius and help you initiate a slide. Once you get into sliding at faster speeds you can switch over to traditional trucks for more stability. -Joel

The two main differences are the length; Apex 37 = 37 inches DK Apex 40 = 40.75 inches And the DK. DK Apex 40 has double kicks (kick nose / kick tail) which is where the DK abbreviation comes from. The Apex 37 does NOT have those kicktails and as such is not currently quite as good for freestyle. Come fall we will be introducing a DK version of the Apex 37.

@jman96ish The Apex 37 if your neighborhood is more flatland riding, and the Apex 40 if you're going to be riding hills and also freeriding. As for trucks and wheels, it's really personal preference. I like Bear trucks on my Apex because they're still easy to carve with but stable for hills. Wheels also depend, whether you want to slide or stick to the pavement.

@xdraxelx Have you checked out our Apex 40? The double concave sounds perfect for the type of riding that you're looking to do! It's strong enough for freestyle tricks, and it also has kicks to help give you more torque. The double concave will give you a place to plant your feet when you want to bomb hills and slide.

@Ethany8090 The Apex 40 middleweight may be a bit too stiff for you right now and it may be a bit difficult for you to maneuver at your size. We do plan on making a flyweight and a cruiserweight Apex 40 in the future. For you though, I think you would be best off with the Apex 37 flyweight. It would be 3 inches shorter, and a bit more flexy, making freestyle much easier.

That would start you off for sure as far as cruising and carving are concerned. As a smaller rider the Pintail 37 is light, very low, easy to turn and easy to carry. You could also look at the Derringer 28 though that is more of a carving mini made for larger riders who want a smaller board.

I would suggest the Rocker Concave Freeride 41 for your size. The rocker concave will be easier to get used to as a beginner but it will still lock you in well for sliding. I would say to get the Bear Grizzly trucks and purple stimulus wheels for a set-up that's easy to learn how to slide.

Nah man, better is about what works for you. Do your thing and whatever is best for you.... and then love anyone who chooses to ride a board. We are all in it together. Longboarding, Skateboarding, whatever boarding, just go ride and enjoy it. We are with you!

our Malakai 40 and Torpedo 40 are both really fun for carving, are pretty flexy, and are good for cruising. The Pintail 37 and 40 are also good for cruising and carving, but are stiffer and more stable. You could go with any of those and you would be really happy!! Check them out!

The Drop Freeride 41 would be great for you. It's a great board to slide with. You'll freeriding skills will progress quickly with this board since it's lower to the ground and its concave keeps you locked in so you can really push into your slides.

True, or check out the new Original Drop Freeride 41, longer, more wood, kicktails and the same price as the shorter Switchblade 36. Slightly deeper drop than the Switchblade. The Drop Freeride 41 will be releasing this week or next week, deck for $130.00

that all depends on the type of riding you are looking to do! If you're a beginner you can stick with the standard set up. You may want to upgrade your wheels if you are looking to slide, to a wheel that has a rounded edge and a harder durometer.

the w and rocker options are for the Freeride boards. The W keeps the arch of your feet locked into the board to keep you stable while bombing hills. The Rocker concave is reverse camber. It pushes the trucks out slightly making sliding easy.

Hey! I suggest either the Apex 34 or Apex 37 flyweight. The 37 is more durable because it has a carbon reinforcement bar, so it will not snap at the necks during freestyle tricks. The Apex 34 is a little bit lighter since it's all wood.. so it's up to you!

@JoeRomanowski1 The Apex 37 is a good board for all around performance, geared towards freestyle riding. You could get either the flyweight, or middleweight. The flyweight will be a bit more flexy and the middleweight would have more stability.

@XxXRaRaRaXxX hey! That's awesome that you're making your own boards!! Make a video of yourself riding and email it to us. The team manager will review your video and either talk to you about sponsor ship opportunities or ways to improve for your next video

@ivabrac34 this board is great for flat land cruising, carving, and freestyle. I wouldn't recommend it down hills, so if you plan on riding some hills and doing freeriding as well then you may want to get the Apex 37 or the Freeride 38 with rocker.

@Danoum001 Hey Daniel they are both amazing boards and worth the price. The apex 40 is better for freeriding but since your on a budget, you should check out or freeride boards. They are less freestlye based but kill it for freeriding!

Hey Chad, I would suggest the Abec 11 Flashbacks 78a. They are great wheels for cruising and also have a very smooth slide. This way you can carve and cruise but also slide to maintain a comfortable speed. _Davey

You should check out our Apex 37! It's a great all-performance board that is awesome for just cruising and carving around, but very durable for freestyle tricks. It's also a good board to do some freeriding on.

Hey!! What is your height and weight, and what type of riding are you looking to do? The Pintail 43 is a good board if you're looking for a stiffer, stable board, that's meant for cruising, carving, and smaller hills.

The Apex 34 would be a great board for some freestyle tricks and city riding. It's only 34 inches long so it's easy enough to maneuver quickly, its a great cruiser and carver, and it's symmetrical shaped for tricks.

@MajorFarin hey there Switzerland! You would have to purchase our boards from our website, it's $60 for shipping. You would want the Freeride 41 rocker concave for your size and the type of riding you are looking to do

@iBariSax take a look at our Hybrid 35. It's a great board for your size, and is good for flat land cruising and carving. It's also a great board if you plan on taking it to the skate park since it has a kick tail in the back

@imxlogger It's geared more for freeriding, but yes, it can do freestyle tricks. If you want a board that's more durable for freestyle and can also handle freeriding then you may want to check out the Apex 40 double concave.

We have quite a few options that would be good for downhill, sliding, and freestyle- the Apex series being most versatile. Could you please provide me with your height and weight? Thanks! -Lindsay

Hey! If cruising and carving aren't important, then what are you doing every day on your longboard? Please let me know what type of riding you're interested in doing so I can help you out. Thanks! -Lindsay

Could you please provide me with your height and weight? Do you plan on just cruising and doing freestyle? Or do you also think you're going to be riding at higher speeds, down hills, and sliding?

The spring loaded trucks are called Original trucks. You can read up on them on our website. They are meant for carving purposes, but also help beginners initiate slides when they're first starting out.

Yep! That is exactly what it is best at. If you want a blended freestyle freeride type ride (sliding and street tricks) there is no better, stronger, board than the Apex 40 with the new PK noseguards.

@kidkip01 it sounds like you're interested in doing a lot of stuff. Check out our Apex 37 for a versatile board for all around performance, especially if you are looking to do freestyle riding.

@quirkfulquagmire take a look at our pintails. They come in 4 different lengths and are great for cruising, carving, and you can dance. They will also handle smaller hills and some sliding as well.

@R1KACHUSKRILLY take a look at our Hybrid 35. It's a good board for cruising around and simulates a surfy feel. It's also used for freestyle riding. The deck starts at $65 and a complete starts at $159

Check out our Pintail series for cruising! They sit low to the ground so they're pretty stable, yet they us Original spring loaded trucks which makes carving really easy. -Lindsay

Yes, but I would suggest getting an Apex for that style of riding. Either the Apex37 or 40 will be more durable and lighter than the Freeride which will make it easier to freestyle.

If you're looking to do just freestyle then the Apex 37 might be a bit easier since it's shorter and lighter. The Apex 40 is great if you're looking to do freestyle AND freeriding.

@The3BestFriend4EVER we're open to riders from all over the world! Just make a video of yourself riding, and send it our email. We'll have the team manager take a look at it.

@BiohazardScared check out our Pintail 37! It's a good board for your size and is meant for cruising and carving. It's an easy board to learn since it's lower to the ground and stable.

Hey, it normally takes a business day to be shipped out and then 3-5 business days for it to arrive in the UK. Shipping cost $60 for international orders also. _Davey

They are two very different boards. The Pintail 40 is great if you are looking for just a cruising and carving board. The Apex 40, however, is great for all types of riding.

I don't recommend using the Apex 34 for bombing hills. It is best for flat land freestyle, cruising, and carving. You should check out the Apex 37 flyweight flex.

you would like the Torpedo 40! It's pretty flexible so it carves easily! I recommend putting s8 trucks on it for a surfy feel and for a bit more stability during slides.

@PacMan0Ghost check out our Freeride boards! They are great for cruising since they're so stable. If you go with the rocker concave you'll definitely be able to slide.

@ChronikReactions the Freeride may be a better choice for you if you're looking to downhill and freeride. Also, the song is by blitzen trapper and it's called black river

Since you are riding the Penny right now and you have some experience, you may really enjoy the Derringer 28 which is great for cruising and carving! -Lindsay

yes! With bushing trucks it can handle speeds up to about 30 mph. If you're interested in freeriding though I suggest checking out the Apex 40 double concave

Hey, I would suggest getting one of our 38" Freerides. It will be more stable for downhill. If you still want to get an Apex 37 then go with the middle weight.

I suggest going with the Apex 37 flyweight flex because it has a carbon fiber reinforcement bar, making it more durable for freestyle tricks than the Apex 34.

@xxNadz8 check out the Apex 40 with av rocker concave! It's an all-around performance board, that is durable and great for freestyle riding, and freeriding.

@garydudeharvey it depends on the type of riding you are looking to do! If you want to just cruise and carve then the Pintail 37 would be a great board for you.

@boyassassin11 this is a great idea! We have some videos for how to assemble, maintain trucks, and make slide gloves.. but I think some trick tips would be fun.

@freddyhardcorist123 Hey Freddy! If you're interested in doing freestyle tricks then you may want to check out the Apex 37. It's great for all around performance.

@GabtronxYz the freeride 38 rocker concave would be much more comfortable for your size, especially if you are planning on doing a lot of freestyle riding.

@Catsenjoi for your height the Apex 37 may be easier to do freestyle on. The price of the deck is $189, and you can purchase it by calling us up on the phone

Apex 40 should be decent for your stance @ 5'11. It wont have a ton of flex, but depending on what your looking to do that could be a good thing. -Joel

@joeatmmoftd check out the Apex 37. It's a board meant for all around riding. It can cruise, carve, do some freeriding, and is also great for free style.

Check out the Apex 34 if you're looking to for a good city transportation board that is great for cruising, carving, and some freestyle tricks

Our Hybrid 35 is a surf simulator, so you may want to check that out. You would also like the Torpedo 40, which is flexy and carves easily.

If your interested in doing freestyle then i suggest getting the Apex 37 since it's much more durable and has a carbon reinforcement bar.

@mrroboto2009 the Pintail 40 would be a great board for you to learn and progress on. Check out our Pintail video to see how it rides!

@XxMaLcLmPwNsxX of course! You would want to send it to our customer support email address and the team manager will take a look at it.

The Apex 40 and Apex 37 will not snap during freestyle tricks or stomping hard landings because they have carbon reinforcement bars.

Hey! The Apex 37 middleweight would be a good board for the type of riding you are interested in doing! Watch the Apex 37 video!!!!!

@R1KACHUSKRILLY Our Manhattan 27 is in that length range. It's from our mini series and is great for flat land freestyle riding.

@MinecraftATmidnite great boards to start with are our Pintails. They're low and stable, making cruising and carving easy to learn.

@ibo5715 check out the Apex 34! It's a great board for freestyle riding and is in your price range. It is $229 for a complete board.

Please send our customer support an email and we will respond back with any locations of dealers that may be near you! -Lindsay

With your height and weight, I suggest checking out the Apex 40 for freestyle riding and for stability down hills and sliding.
