Slim Jim - Spectrum

To give back to the environment we have decided that for every skateboard we sell, we plant a tree. One tree produces at least 60 boards. So with our program, one tree will turn into at least 60 new trees planted.

100% Canadian Maple

Canadian Maple is a strong and proven material used in the world’s best skateboards. We source only the finest veneers found in Eastern Canada.

Take your skating into the third dimension with a kicktail. We design our kicktails to work perfectly with each deck shape as well as with the truck and wheel setup on each complete.

MEDIUM CAVE

The perfect middle ground, enough concave that you always feel glued to your board, but not too much to hurt your feet during a longer cruise.

SANDED WHEEL WELLS

Wheel wells reduce the risk of wheel-bite by increasing the gap between wheels and deck. Sanded or CNC’d wheel wells both allow for larger wheels or looser trucks, if desired.

Watch the Slim Jim in action

The Slim Jim is just that, slightly more narrow and slightly shorter than our bigger ATV boards with a bit shorter nose and tail than the Perfecto or Stone God. At 31” long and 8.43” wide, the Slim Jim was designed as a compact cruiser for people with places to be and tricks to stomp along the way. The Slim Jim is pressed with 7 plies of Canadian Maple for a light, stiff and poppy ride. It comes complete with Polar Bear 130mm trucks to perfectly match the width of the board and provide the ideal blend of stability and maneuverability. The setup is finished with a set of 60mm 78a Chubby Hawgs wheels to keep the weight down and roll speed up.

We design our trucks and wheels to fit perfectly with each individual deck. We work tirelessly to ensure these elements come together to provide the best control and performance for your board. No slop, all control. Don't accept anything less than the perfect complete.   Learn More >

Flex Rating

Flex has a big impact on the overall feel of your board and is influenced by a bunch of different factors. The main ones being thickness of the deck, it's wheelbase and rider weight. To put the equation in laymans terms: more flex occurs when you decrease thickness of the deck, increase the wheelbase and increase rider weight. The more flex in your board the more carvy and agile it'll feel, less flex means it's more stable and suited for faster skating. We test every complete with a device we built in house, specifically to standardize flex ratings.

Landyachtz ATV Review: Shred Hard, Cruise Soft

Posted on Last updated: October 7, 2023

Categories Gear & reviews

Sharing is caring!

If you’re a street skater who commonly cruises across town on your street deck, or if you’re a longboarder looking to hone your street tricks skills, then you need to take a closer look at Landyachtz’s ATV hybrid skateboard line.

Landyachtz’s ATV hybrid boards are a mixture of cruiser and traditional skateboard. They are 30-35″, street-inspired skateboards with old-school type shapes but running on bigger, softer wheels and TKP trucks for comfortable shredding around the city without giving up hardcore street tricks.

In short, the ATVs are city rippers designed for all-around but street-oriented skateboarding. They are Landyachtz’s answer to the “skate everything” movement. In the rest of this post, we look at what these cool street cruisers are made of and what they’re capable of.

The ATV come in different shape variations (see section further below) and graphic designs. They are affordably priced between $149 and $179.

Check out the Landyachtz ATV on Amazon or Evo .

Landyachtz ATV main characteristics

As mentioned, the Landyachtz ATV is primarily meant for combining capable urban cruising on any type of terrain (hence the “ATV” name) with traditional street skating.

The ATVs achieve this through a reinforced and oversized traditional skate construction combined with cruisy trucks and bigger, softer wheels compared to a typical street deck.

The big double kicks, stiff flex, and mild concave let you easily snap ollies and kickflips, as well as ride skateparks, pools, and ditches. At the same time, the deck shapes and the trucks and wheels make for comfortable shredding and even allow for some freeride.

The ATV rides very smoothly, similar to the very popular Dinghy . The traditional skate construction and large kicks give it really good pop and make it as street functional as the older Loco Series. The decent wheelbase and TKP trucks on the ATV make it quite stable and easy to slide on when riding down medium hills.

So the Landyachtz ATV delivers what it was designed for, which is to let you mix several styles of skating – urban travel, carving, ollies and kick tricks, freeride – on various kinds of terrain.

Landyachtz ATV shapes

There are actually 3 different shapes for the Landyachtz ATV, named Laguito, Presidente, and Perfecto. All three are hybrid shapes with double kicks and the same 14.375″ wheelbase. However, subtle differences between them give each version a slightly different mix of street vs cruiser features.

The ATV Laguito

The Laguito is 32″ long and 8.5″ wide and has the most traditional street shape of the three, fully symmetrical and popsicle-like with rounded tails. The narrowest of the three (0.1″ to 0.5″ narrower than the others), it’s optimized for fast rail transitions and maximum pop for kickflips and ollies. It’s best-suited for riders with smaller sized feet.

The ATV Presidente

The Presidente has a slighly more directional shape than the Laguito, with a bit wider tail and a bit narrower nose with a chisel shape. The kicks on the Presidente are virtually symmetrical, however, so the shape works fine for kick tricks as well.

The slightly wider tail provides a bit more leverage for carving and urban shredding, including for a rider with larger feet. At 31.5″ x 8.6″, the Presidente version is a tad wider and slightly shorter than the Laguito.

The ATV Perfecto

The Perfecto is the bigger version of all three, with a 32″ length and 9″ width (same wheelbase as the other two) making for the most comfortable commuting. This is the most cruise and speed-focused version with a bullet shape, tapered tail and widened nose. This lets you shift more weight on your front truck for higher leverage and faster riding, including downhill.

Although the Perfecto has the most directional shape of the three, it’s still highly trickable with a large kick tail for ollies and kickflips and asymmetrical concave for riding switch comfortably.

ATV deck construction

Although at first sight, the ATV decks may look like regular skateboards, they are built using a hybrid of 7-ply maple, epoxy and fiberglass. The added fiberglass top sheet stiffens and greatly strengthens the decks while keeping them lightweight. The extra layer also adds snappiness and durable pop to them.

The decks have big kicks (for tricks, see previous section for versions), a medium radial concave (for shredding and sliding), and a stiff flex (for kick tricks and park). All these elements participate in the street vs cruise vs speed balanced mix.

ATV trucks and wheels

Landyachtz also own the highly reputable Bear Trucks and Hawgs Wheels brands, so all Landyachtz complete boards come with these high-quality components.

All 3 versions of the ATV ship with 155mm Polar Bear TKP trucks, which are great carving and pumping trucks (I’ve been riding them for a long time). The trucks are very responsive. They come fitted with an angled riser in the front which adds a bit more carve to the ride.

The stock bushings are very soft and squishy barrel bushing which are nice for cruising and shredding. For hardcore street riding, though, you may choose to swap them for slightly harder bushings (e.g. Bones medium hard).

Fit for street riding, the Polar Bears have a very high tolerance and are among the lowest cast trucks on the market. They have heat-treated axels, machined hanger shoulders, precision threading, engineered bushing seats…

The Landyachtz ATV skateboards come with 60mm 78A Chubby Hawgs wheels. These wheels are fast and smooth, big enough to roll over cracks and bumps. They use a special urethane formula that Landyachtz tests on downhill longboards in freeride conditions.

The wheels are filled with 8mm Bear Spaceball bearings. My own favorite setup runs on those, and after breaking them in, the wheels really roll on forever.

Some riders refer to swap the wheels for slightly bigger, 63mm wheels to better absorb ground imperfections.

Landyachtz ATV designs and colors

As mentioned, the ATV comes in slightly different shapes, but also various great-looking color designs – each design is associated with a single shape, so you must choose between your preferred shape OR your preferred graphic art. Here are some of the ATV art options:

With the ATV series, Landyacthz stays true to its reputation with a really well-made, durable composite deck and quality components for the completes. Like all their products, the ATVs are made at a small factory in the middle of British Columbia and shipped all over the world.

The ATV caters to the need of those who like to skate as a way to recreate while commuting. It’s a smaller board for all-around urban skateboarding and functionality for all styles – street, park, pools, some freeride.

They offer a nice cruiser feel (and even shape for the Perfecto) while staying trickable, fast, flowy, and stable at some speed.

Last but not least, at $150-$180 they are quite reasonably priced given the quality and value they offer street and commuter skaters of all kinds.
