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. 00:00 - Introduction to the Loaded Tangent 00:06 - Tangent vs. Fathom: Size Comparison 00:24 - Why Riders Wanted a Bigger Platform 00:40 - Overview of the Bracket Setup 01:22 - Smooth and Fast Pushing Experience 01:37 - What Brackets Do for Your Ride 02:00 - G/Bomb Brackets: Industry Leaders 02:16 - Benefits of a Double Drop Setup 02:45 - Huge Wheel Clearance Without Risers 03:00 - Nimble and Responsive Turning 03:30 - Modular Design for Travel 03:37 - Vibration Damping with Basalt Layer 04:01 - Comparing Ride Height: Tangent vs. Fathom 04:25 - Innovative Upturned Corners for Foot Stoppers 04:52 - Recommended Setups and Wheel Choices 05:23 - Final Thoughts: Fathom vs. Tangent
