First:
Built this to be a fun weighted setup that's less "serious" than my downhill board. So far I've done garages on it & taken it out on a cruise for small standups/180s. It feels pretty cursed, but the kicktail provides a SUPER nice pocket if I want to really have leverage on the back truck for slides.
Loaded Coyote
120? mm spaceable Cal 3 chopped hangers & 88wheelco Mav Pros
Rocket Brick
Front:
44 degree
73 short RS / 78 tall BS
Flat all around
Rear:
44 degrees wedged to 39 degrees(5 degree wedge)
93 short RS / 90 tall BS
Flat all around
Second:
A true tragedy. Just when I was getting it dialed, my Landyachtz peacemaker warped 😭
It will be a wallhanger deck, esp with that FRESH graphic
My main question: What deck should I replace it with?
Landyachtz Peacemaker
Green PP snakes
42.5 degree symmetrical 180mm cast ronins (Jimmy riha pro model!)
93 tall BS, 90 tall RS, cupped all around
That first one looks fun,but it looks like it has strong flares which would really ruin the appeal for me.
For replacing the second deck, there are a few singlekick options you could do. That new pantheon singlekick is a big boat to match your 180mms. Rocket rooster similarly fits.
Do you like ronins for freeride? I really hate how they turn, but some people really like them. It's a polarizing truck from the 2010s era.

I'm a huge fan of the flare under the toe on my front foot (check the shoe marks) so it is a fun little board!
I must admit, I only got the ronins as a recent acquisition and took the whole setup out for maybe a garage sesh and 1-2 actual hill seshes before it warped. I am a huge fan of the narrow ronins and figured why not try a set of cronins out (for $35, could you blame me?)
As to getting a deck, I haven't really looked into a lot of the Pantheon line, but I think that the Kenny Napp pro looks pretty decent.
I am not entirely sure which deck I'd go with, but as much as I love Rocket, I can't quite justify Rocket money on a freeride setup I might not 1000% love.
I have been thinking of the following:
- Comet Takeover
- EW Camino killer (singlekick)
- Prism new decks? sometime?
- new mini byron (waiting for the homie review on this one)
Okay I bought a blem Loaded Coyote this year and love it. Put the new paris 50⁰ savants on it with otang purple/orange nipples. I really thought about slapping seismic grip on it and making it a DH board for kicks and giggles, because the board locks you in so good it *could* work, and skating boards dh not meant for dh is so dang good for clout.
After looking at your setup, dialed as short board with ronins and weighted, I gotta say I'm embarrassed I thought that it might be a good idea. You have gone too far!! Save that board while there is still something worth saving!
Noticing your other comments, I'll endorse the Comet Takeover. I have the 2023 and it's really a great board. Dont put a weight on it.
