Defective Skateboard? Landyachtz ATV Nightfox 

Should just turn old abandoned malls/buildings into skate parks!

I agree with you you on the protection of the board, especially the kick tail. I used to swivel on that tail plate. It was fun 😀

I got the same board. No problem. Good to know though. Thanks for the heads-up

I’ve always liked concave shaped boards. My old Santa Cruz Corey O’Brien is still one of my favourites bc of the concave shape

Good catch on the board, yeah they need to have a protection on those pricey boards-Old school skater back in the day. Hey yeah one of our two story mall stores here in Albq are empty as well, Such a waste of a building. Rock on man!!

I had a Gravity Board back in the early 00's. Starting feeling nostalgic the other day and looked into getting a new longboard. Decided to check out Zumiez at the local mall and the Nightfox caught my eye. Haven't hopped on a board in any capacity in years. Feet felt right at home on this board. Happy to see someone who's "in the know" recommending this board as well. Definitely satisfied with my purchase.

THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO! ordered one of same from LY and should arrive Wednesday, GLAD I happened upon your video since I haven't skated in over 4 decades and this is something that would've went right over my head. Like the other comment about 60's and yours about risers, all things to consider if the wells are cut right...

Thanks for sharing this! I was thinking of getting just the deck and putting Independent trucks on. But I would never know a defective deck if i had one, because they're designed for Polar Bears. So now i think i should only get a complete.

Loved the board as well, just ordered mine online and hoping that it’s not defective. Thanks for the info. 👍🏼

Get bigger risers and wax the spot that's carved in it should help alot

My old mall 😍. sick board 🛹

Good lookin out.

I have this board and I love it. I havent been riding much lately but its great. I have this one and I have a dinghy and a dinghy blunt

Looks fun riding in the mall lol

Had me outside checking the pockets on my ditch. All good here. I've also had some wheel bite trouble with landys and bear trucks. The bushings they use are just too soft for my liking, but swapping them out makes a world of difference.

Hey yeah I have a blue version of landyachtz atv deck what I did was got one of them tailbones made by Powell peralta it saves the tail big time

Which wheels are those? The ones on some videos are the smaller white ones

Its because it came with softer cruiser bushings. Use the bushing calculator and get the proper bushings. You don't want bushings as tight as they go either, the proper bushings will be your happy medium. Now if street skating, doesn't matter too much as it can be used for that too. All landyachtz are handmade, so in small town canada, it happens. Look up their story sometime. As for plastic stuff, people only use the rails, but mostly for better grinds. Skateboards are made way better now compared to older boards, even though skaters are now way harder on their boards compared to then. The tail and nose plates aren't used because nose, tail, and blunt slides. The truck guards aren't needed because trucks slide better and people don't need to worry about coping as much. So some companies now use different materials when pressing boards. I do like the old boards too, but to seriously skate them, id take the landyachtz or reissue deck anyday over the old. Its like old car vs new. The old might seem more solid, but crash tests prove otherwise. Saying such this like that is ignorance to the progression of the skate industry. Plus again, landyachtz is one of the last few companies that manufacture in America (Canada is North America), not only did they give a dieing town a bunch of jobs, they are messing with new technologies thats actually kinda crazy. That other setup was made for it to be a toy in mind.

at 4:39, where can you get protection like that for boards? I found board rails for the sides but haven't found stuff for the front and back. My santa cruz 80s cruiser already has lots of wear on tail and bit on nose and only trick i do are manuals lol.

Older stuff built tougher 💪 😅

same issue hoping zumiez will swap it out

I have that board!

What trucks are you using? I like your trucks and want to change my Independent's

You just need tighter after-market bushings. Wheel bite is not a problem with the manufacturer, it’s a setup issue. You could also get bigger risers

You can buy those plastic pieces

The atv and smaller boards need 60mm not 63 or 65 !!! Try 60mm and no wheel bite

Why not just transfer the plastic guards to the new board,

maybe because your built different and larger
