I'm down to 225lbs from 430lbs+ and dying to be able to finally ride a longboard. I wanna save up for one but I'm afraid I'm too heavy for some still at my new weight. I love the double drop as I live in a wide street city.. I'm just afraid it might be too low for my weight? I really can't afford to risk the money. How do I know what wood to look for
G The Entity we have sold this board to happy customers at your weight. Sorry for the delayed response. Make sure you pair it with large wheels to offset the little bit of additional flex you are sure to get out of it!
Abdullah Al-Shimri powerful. I got there and fell back in my ways and was injured, restarted that journey and am now on my way. Good on you for getting there yourself. Hold strong.
Jeff, what bearings are you using on this board and would you recommend using a .06 riser for the top truck mount? I just ordered my Ember from your website and am really looking forward to building it up. Got my Paris 149mm and kegels ready to go!
Sorry for the late reply. I honestly don't place a lot of weight on bearings. As long as they aren't seized I will ride them. That said, I really like Zealous and Loaded bearings. Tight tolerances make slides feel better and are quieter, and they have lasted me well so far.
Update: we now make bearings called the AOA bearings (available only through Pantheon). They are great and we really modeled them after Zealous and Loaded's bearings (tight tolerances that last). So we still recommend those, as well as our own.
hoping Muir picks it up soon. For now, you can definitely pick it up through some other sources. I know Burning Spider Stoke Company, and Uncle Funkys has them! Also just sent some to Skate Warehouse if you're looking for a California shop.
How would this handle city riding? Stuff like curbs, sidewalk cracks, weaving through people etc.. I'm looking at the Dinghy/Tugboat atm and I'm curious how this compares.
Comparatively speaking, you are less turny than a Dhingy, but still plenty turny. You can ride down curbs (though I suggest doing a little skip-step) and you'll have to ride up ramps or pick up your deck (I don't find this to be hard to do at all, but it does maybe depend on if your town has decent ramp access...most do, nowadays), and it will handle cracks, bumps, and debris WAY better than any cruiser deck with smaller wheels.
Simon Shc PROBABLY the Trip will be easier but either one will be about equal once you get used to them. TKP trucks can feel like they have a little bit looser center but that makes them feel super good for flowy turns
Would wheel size matter since it’s so low to the ground already? I would buy orangatang wheels but not a fan of their colors. I was thinking about buying 72mm-75mm wheels. But every post I see about this board seems to have 80mm+ wheels.
Pantheon Longboards I ended up purchasing some 80mm kegels. Their new color is actually really nice. Same deck in the video too. Absolutely love the set up.
@@PantheonLongboards I'm sold. I bought this deck as a discounted blemish from Muir Skate and I can't believe how much fun it is to ride. My usual commuter has been a generic double-drop 41" longboard and in comparison, the 41" deck handles like a bus. I find the Ember easier to ride overall (maybe the TKPs have something to do with it), with a very flowy/fluid and extremely responsive yet locked-in feel. My only minor complaint is that after being accustomed to switch-kicking on a 41" deck, the Ember feels a tad bit cramped (I'm learning to adapt my footwork). The quality of the deck is superb, as is the graphics (Yggdrasil)...I wasn't able to find the disclosed "blemish" on it. This is a well thought-out, purpose-built deck. I paired it with hollow 156mm TKP trucks and 83mm 77A ABEC11 clones (9" wheel edge width), which makes for an incredibly light-weight, slim urban commuter.
Have a great day and fun with your longbording
0:39 That little slide was lovely.
I have got one to replace my Drop Cat 33. Thank you for the great design. Hope that the great features can be retained on the next-generation product!

Wow I lost 60 lb just to be able to ride a longboard and I’m riding one to work now

More reviews of the heavy freeride/downhill lineup pleasee! ):
Awesome, can't wait to ride it!!!

When will these boards be available on some online skateshops? Waiting to set this up on Muirskate.

Available at Muirskate now!
Pantheon Longboards Hello, will they ever make it to Amazon?
Imani Eugene Probably not
@@imanieugene4229 ewhh why. Fuck Amazon. Support skate companies.

@@PantheonLongboards Thank you!
Can I run 62mm wheels on ember? What's the minimum wheel size without the side of the boards scraping the ground?
Was thinking of slapping on some pee wees for slidey fun
Would the kegel wheels work on a V1 Ember (2017)?
What helmet are you using?
Between the Ember and the Trip: which one is the most easy and confortable to use for a beginning? (with the best balance). Thank you ;)
Simon Shc PROBABLY the Trip will be easier but either one will be about equal once you get used to them. TKP trucks can feel like they have a little bit looser center but that makes them feel super good for flowy turns
Dude thanks for the video! If I use 85mm wheels with TKP trucks it’s going to be alright, no wheel bites when I curve down the hill?
No bite at all.

You can run as low as 70mm on the Ember for sure. It's just going to be even lower! The reason we set them up with larger wheels is because WE CAN :)

@@MrDemiseOG awesome setup! Yea the blues are super nice.
Can you get 110's on them??
What helmet is he wearing?
Love it!
How is it if im using paris 180 mm truck?
Farkhan D. Evansyah you cannot use a 180mm RKP truck. Made for street trucks /TKP trucks only! RKPs will bite
Why is it that when you're pushing up that hill, you look like you're going faster than when I'm pushing on a flat? Are you a machine?
Hah! Very human and just push a lot. Also, the board help ;)

@@suntoryjim Awesome to hear man! Surprised they had blems. You will get use to the size the more you ride it!
just ordered mine!
what bushings can fit into the 149 paris?
I would hit up Riptide! I got their reg barrel/street cone combo. Works well!
What trucks are those?
Paris Street Trucks
What size?
149mm! 149mm Paris Street, 8.5" Caliber Street, or just plain old Indy 149s are awesome!
Cool, thanks! You guys make nice boards :D
Is this the board for a 9 mile route? Justify your answer (hahaha jk)
it's certainly manageable for 9 miles. I have done a 32 mile race on it...loved it.
