Everything in moderation, including moderation. - Oscar Wilde

Spanning the size gap between the Kanthaka and Tesseract, the Overland is designed for the all-around rider seeking a happy medium between a shorter technical double kick and a thoroughbred downhill freeriding machine.

Setup Recommendations

Reverse Kingpin

We recommend reverse-kingpin trucks and 70mm wheels on the Overland for freeriding, carving, pumping and downhill aficionados. 43-44° baseplates provide more lean and stability for faster riding, while 50° baseplates are more responsive for quick maneuvering and aggressive slashing.

On narrower (160-170mm) hangers, we recommend offset wheels; on wider (180mm) hangers, centerset wheels are ideal.

Conventional Kingpin

Conventional trucks and 58-66mm wheels complement the Overland in street, freestyle, transition, and light freeriding applications.

On narrower (8.5" or 159) hangers, we recommend offset wheels; on wider (9" or 169) hangers, centerset wheels are ideal.

Graphics

The Overland takes its name from a major avenue in the LA Westside connecting Culver City in the south with Rancho Park in the north. The board's graphic is an illustration of this region (with the Loaded office highlighted in red). The textured pattern in the urethane bottom sheet is a topographical map showing the undulating elevation gradients in our very own backyard.

History

The Overland was inspired by our ambassadors searching for a board that could keep up with the variety of terrain underfoot. While the Kanthaka focused more on technical freeriding and street tricks and the Tesseract was sized to handle the demands of faster downhill runs, we quickly became aware of a small but enticing niche of riding styles that prompted the creation of a true middle-of-the-road vehicle. And thus the Overland was born to tackle freestyle, natural and man-made transitions, neighborhoods, and mild downhill--all in a strong and lightweight package.

Construction

The Overland features a vertically laminated bamboo core sandwiched between fiberglass skins and finished off with a bottom layer of textured thermoplastic urethane.
