Thus far we have examined two great speed boards. But not every rider is looking for speed. If you want something that is the exact opposite of the speed boards I have discussed so far, than I recommend the Loaded Dancer. It is, as the name implies, a deck built for dancing. The deck is 55 inches in length, which provides the ideal surface for dancing. However, this board is one which requires quite a bit of experience and skill to ride. In order to perform any of the tricks that this board is built for, excellent balance and coordination are required. But if you are rider who posses those talents then this board may be for you. One important thing to note as well is that boards such as this with long, narrow decks are not intended for carving. In order to carve the rider must throw all of his weight into the turn, which will be a more difficult task for larger people, though not impossible. Overall The Loaded Dancer is a great deck and an excellent choice for riders who aren’t necessarily looking for speed, but like to put on a show.
