Lol I didn't have enough money for this board so last year I started making and selling longboards to make enough money to buy it. This is hands down the best board I've ever ridden. You guys rock at making boards. Don't ever stop.
this kid has some dope shirts
These boards are so sick! Cant wait until i have the money to buy one!
It makes me mad when people comment acting like their better than riders but everyone knows their not, nice job Original keep going hard.
An actual sponsored video in the UK? The world must have gone upside down. Awesome performance.

Insipiration for tomorrow! Sick style! I loved it!
great editing, great pictures
Great Video, awesome to know that a board as heavy as the Apex 40 DD can do so many flip tricks!
Videos from the uk...... LOVE IT

Wtf that's really awesome!
this kids got style yeaaaaaaa 😎.the new path of invention.

ExplosiveElectrode It's actually pretty stiff, if you think about trying to land "bolts" on a street deck, the fact that you are landing directly over top of your trucks allows the board to avoid the real force of the impact. That's why serious construction, and serious dedication to improvement of durability is a big deal for a freestyle / trick based longboard like the Apex 40 DiamondDrop. You have a wider wheelbase so the board gets no help from the rider landing over the trucks, the decks gotta be stronger.
Omg ur amazing! I longboard too ur flips and schit are real good keep going! :D
The helmet trick at the beginning was funny as shit!
That helmet trick at the beginning was cool, shame you couldnt keep it on for the rest of the video!

Remy Fockaert With a 6pack like that, you should absolutely go with the Apex 40. But in all seriousness, at your weight/height, you'll be most comfortable on the bigger platform. As for sliding, it's actually more important for you to really get carving before you can initiate a slide, so work on that first. Hope that helps!

Hello. I've been longboarding for about a year now. The only board I have is an old hand-me-down pintail. Even though it's old I love it and learned to slide on it. I want to start getting into serious riding and I think the Apex would be great for me. I'm 5ft 4in, 100lbs and 13 years old. Do you think this board would be good for me?

Mikey P sounds like an exciting time to be riding! Taking that first big step and really mastering sliding etc is such a fun time to be a rider. Stoked to hear you are right there! I think the Apex 37 DiamondDrop would be a great fit for that style of riding assuming you want to focus a lot on sliding but also on tricks. If you want to do more of a focus on sliding and Downhill / Speed I think the Arbiter 36 KT might actually be a better fit. Two of my favorites, I've got one of each : )

Ugh. Hey Original I hope you get this notification but I would like you guys to help me if that's possible. So my heads debating if whether I should get the Apex DD 37 inches or the 40 inches. I'm 5'6 feet tall my weight's about 45-46 kilograms. I have a caliber 50* v2 right here waiting for it to be used once I get the apex from you guys. So what do you think should fit me? I'm wanting to learn some freestyle. I have some nice slides and possibly 50 k/ph downhill.
Yeee
Which one do you recommend for cruising, no tricks, and an occasional slide?
Coming from skateboarding (and owning a longboard since I've started), I want to get into freestyle/carving longboarding, my longboard right now is an old hand me down pintail. Plus, from the skateboarding side of things, I can kickflip and tre flip on my pintail. So what would be a good freestyle carving board to get? I weigh 140 and I'm 5'10

Austin Hughes right on Austin, sounds like you are seriously talented regardless of which board is under your feet. I would personally be really excited to see what you can do with an Arbiter KT. The street based riders I have known that have stepped on that board have really been able to transform what I have considered longboard based freestyle into something more of a hybrid. Some of them went to the Arbiter DK from there but I think the KT really represents more of an all around ride that fits you.

Hey Kandi, looks like Apex 37 DiamondDrop with Caliber 2's (in the Satin Blue, my guess is 50 degree truck baseplates) the wheels I am not 100% sure about, will reach out to Tom to try to confirm what hes got on there. Personally I really like Volante Mini-Checkers for most types of riding / tricks etc but right now I have Volante Checkers on since they have a little more size (70mm vs 65mm) more urethane to wear away on the hills. I like the 65mm Mini Checkers since they are lighter.

RojeX 127 sounds like a great fit if you want to maintain that high end carving ability while also adding some more serious slide specific performance and a HUGE amount of durability for tricks etc. If you are on medium or larger hills I might think about jumping up to the Apex 40 instead just to get a little more space for a serious stance, particularly if you think you might get a little taller / grow a little bit. All together sounds like the start of a great quiver to me!

Jules Weiss the DiamondDrop is certainly one of the easiest to break free. There are a couple of other decks that I teach people on that also work really well; The Baffle 37 is the first one. Its super easy to initiate and great for spinning slides. I think it's best for progressing but maybe not quite as easy to break free initially as the DiamondDrop or the Drop Freeride 41. I learned a lot of my slides on the Drop Freeride which is the least expensive, though I think I like the Baffle and DD more.

Justin Knight Ahh, yeah when you start talking big kicks and drop through it gets tough! Basically those two work against each other. We usually tend to go with a drop instead all though the Drop Freeride 41 is popular and that is drop through, drop down with a kick. I think the Maven 35 or Venter 37 is probably the closest to what you are talking about, but maybe more focused on downhill vs carving.

H000000i The Apex is at that price because it's made from quad axial fiberglass, which is stronger than a wood board. That being said, we even drove a car over it, and it was fine to ride. In the long run, you're saving money because you're likely to break a wood board and have to buy another one, while the Apex will still be intact after years of thrashing. That's the long answer. The short answer: yes. Are you thinking about getting one?
