The Loaded Tan Tien is a board for those looking for something can pull off all the technical tricks that longboarding has to offer, as well as freeride, commute, slide, Carve, I find it a great all around board but isn't too great for downhill I would only recommend it for light bombing as even the highest flex is too flexible for downhill riding, and it'll get you bounced. That being said, the Loaded Tan Tien is a really hot board right now because it's so versatile and a lot people love the multi-directional boards with small noses and tails to avoid wheelbite, but instead of just having a little overhang, has a tail and nose which is nice when coming off of curbs, attempting shuv it's, doing slide variations, more controlled manuals, and other things of the sort.
Although the Tan Tien is a touch pricy it's perfect for beginners and veterans alike, even if you're not looking for something to be technical with the Tan Tien comes in multiple flexes so if you're just looking for a board for the transportation you can pick out the flex that feels most comfortable and the smaller wheelbase makes it easier to weave through traffic, turn those sharp corners on the sidewalk, etc. Also it's very lightweight which makes it super easy to carry around town if need be. I recommend this board no matter what you're doing, but if you're looking for a hardcore downhill board then I would suggest looking elsewhere.
