Birthing Ritual of the Loaded Icarus

Loaded boards are a beautiful natural phenomena, carefully observed and documented by someone that sounds a lot like David Attenborough.

In this episode of cheesy and quirky sarcasm from Loaded Longboards we get a chance to witness a rare natural phenomena. The birthing ritual of the new Icarus board! Its not common that we are able to observe longboards mating in captivity, but whoever sounds a lot like David Attenborough was clearly sneaky enough with a camera to get some footy. Usually longboard companies are very shy about making their construction processes publicly visible. This was honestly really interesting to watch! The Loaded Icarus is a very unique board in that the wheel flares are so extremely curved they need to be made with separate pieces. Although this adds several extra steps, and increases the cost, it makes for a WICKED shape.

 

 

Here is a fully grown and matured Loaded Icarus, with full seasonal plumage.
