Original Skateboards Pro rider Axel Serrat enjoys his home city Barcelona, his way, this time experimenting on a slightly shorter deck. The Apex 34.
Developed as a viable option for shorter / lighter riders looking for an Apex, Axel has adopted the Apex 34 as an easy to carry city cruiser that pops perfectly when paired with RKP trucks and noseguards.

Just wanted to let you guys know I bought a Pintail 43 three years ago has not let me down once, keep doing what your doing!
the music makes this channel so coooooool to watch!
definitely one of the best aggressive styles out there! keep inspiring....
For smaller riders who want to carve, slide and throw a bunch of freestyle tricks in there it is certainly a pretty awesome option. The main reason to buy an Apex is that the construction has been tuned specifically toward freestyle, ie. it doesn't lose pop with repeated use and it doesn't break. Add the PK nose guards and these things last forever.
Of course if you are doing serious speed stuff (above 30 or 35mph) you may want to look at something like an Arbiter 36 etc.
passibly the best longboard video i've ever seen!
Hey KG,
We make our stuff in the states, we care about what we do and we take care of our riders; first by building good boards, second by backing them up 100% if something goes wrong.
The fact of the matter is that if you are building boards in the states, you aren't building junk, and we certainly aren't.
Your friend either doesn't like carving, hates OG's for one reason or another, or just doesn't know what he's talking about. Stoked that you asked though haha
great beginner boards are our Pintail series which are meant for cruising and carving purposes. For your size, you could get the Pintail 37. -Lindsay
Hi Tyler! The Av Rocker has reversed camber, meaning the deck is slightly shaped like a "U". This means the kicks are a bit higher than the DC, so the AV Rocker is geared more towards freestyle. The Double Concave has micro drops which offer comfy pockets for you to plant your feet. I like the DC for sliding because you can use the micro drops to push out your slides easily. -Lindsay
that was so badass havent seen a good video in a while
yes yes yes! We've had some people ask us to do this! We have lots of surprises for everyone in the upcoming months! Possibly when things slow up a bit we'll be able to start doing some trick tip tutorials. I definitely agree that this would help :) -Lindsay
Yup, it is! We've kind of changed it from a Holiday Sale to a 10 Year Anniversary sale. -Lindsay
A good board to start with if you want to skate a bit of everything would be the Apex 40 Double Concave! It is real nice for learning, and is an amazing all around board. It can do pretty much all aspects of riding very well. Let me know if you have any more questions!
_Molly
that looked so fun! ive skated barcelona once on a penny, its very smooth
Original, do you guys plan to do another "trip adventure" video series again? The last one was a long time ago :(
I personally think that the Apex 37 is a ton of fun to carve with, especially with S8 trucks! -Lindsay
Check out the Apex 40 double concave! It's meant for freestyle and freeriding purposes! I suggest putting the PK Nose Guards on the board to enhance the kicks and also add protection to the board. -Lindsay
Hey Dustin! The Pintail 40 is meant more for cruising and carving purposes. The Apex series will definitely handle riding in skateparks much better if you're looking to do some freestyle, and they also handle speeds better as well. Check out the Apex 40 double concave, which is great for freestyle and freeriding. -Lindsay
For lots of Freestyle and sliding I suggest the Apex 40 Diamond Drop. It's durable and has kicks for freestyle, and the concave keeps you locked during slides. -Lindsay
For freeriding, either of those will be great for you. The stock bushings in the Bears will be a bit softer than the Paris ones, but they will freeride relatively similar.
Hey Alex! Happy early birthday :) Check out the Apex 40 Diamond Drop for a board that slides nicely, is great for high speed riding, and is awesome for freestyle. Put some PK nose guards on the board to make it even more durable than it already is, and also enhance the freestyle performance even more. -Lindsay
Check out the Pintail 40 with some red medium tension springs in the S8 trucks. This set up will keep you stable while learning, and the board is good for cruising and carving purposes. -Lindsay
You can for sure get the board without them.
That's one of the reason we made them removeable as opposed to molded in.
My suggestion would be to go the other way around. Get the guards and make SURE you don't like them. They are one of the biggest upgrades any longboard has had in a very long time, and they are NOT the same as the other noseguards out there on the market. I would be really surprised if after riding them you didn't prefer the board with the noseguards ON vs. OFF.
Generally the inner smaller wheelbases will produce more pop. The thing to remember is that Axel is a freaking beast. I would be hard pressed to ollie that bench in a month let alone first try like he did haha
Keep practicing but also keep in mind that it's relative. Oh one more thing, newer nose guards give more pop, as they get worn more they flex when they hit the ground, so max pop is with new guards that havent been worn away.
Hey B, remember that the Apex 34 is a sliding deck for very small riders only.
Assuming you are below 5'2 or 5'3 the DoubleConcave would be my choice as a fantastic all around / sliding deck for a smaller rider ; )
Hi Chris! Check out the Apex 40 double concave. It's meant for freestyle and freeriding, and although it's a high performance board, it's easy to learn on because it's low and stable! -Lindsay
Hey LTJ,
Apex 34 is going to be small for you for sure. You have to remember that the Apex is designed for that stuff, even in the longer versions. While some of the riders pull out the Apex 34 from time to time just to rock a shorter board, you could just as easily (in that situation) go with a more traditional deck.
My suggestion would be to go with either the Apex 40 DiamondDrop or to wait on the new Apex 37 DC that comes out next month if you want something for more pure freestyle.
Check out our Pintail 40 for a good cruiser. It's meant for cruising, carving, smaller hills, and you can definitely learn how to slide with it. -Lindsay
It's not always about the duro of the wheel when it comes to sliding. When you're just starting out, sometimes going with a harder wheel may be easier to slide with. However, as you progress, you may want a softer wheel for a more buttery slide instead of an icey slide. This all has to do with the shape of the wheel, the materials used to make the wheel, the pavement you're riding on, and personal preference. -Lindsay
Have you looked at the Apex 40 Diamond Drop? It sounds like EVERYTHING that you want. This board is great for higher speed freeriding and keeps you locked in for slides with it's kinky deep concave. It's very durable and is also great for freestyle tricks. Add the PK Nose Guards to the deck and you'll enhance the freestyle performance of the board even more! -Lindsay
Pop isnt going to change much with trucks, though sometimes the truck height and truck angle do make a difference depending on the riders mechanics.
If you don't have the PK noseguards thats where most of the pop comes from. That's the first place to start. Second is making sure you stomp your tail down hard and let it contact the ground. Thats where the snap up comes from.
For sure one the boards from our Apex seriese! I would recommend the Apex 40 Double Concave, it is our most versatile all around board, and does it all really well! Have fun, and let me know if you have any more questions!
_Molly
For your height and weight, I suggest checking out the Drop Freeride 41. It will allow you to have a wider stance, and the dropped concave will make learning how to slide easy! -Lindsay
Hey Liam! I always recommend the nose guards as they have saved my board MANY times. They protect the nose and tail from impact hits.. and the best part about them is they add height to the kicktails which enhances the board's freestyle performance as well! -Lindsay
This guy would make such a sick street skater.
Hey! Happy almost birthday! I think for what you're looking for, I would look into a Freeride 41, Arbiter 36, or Maven 35! Those are great boards for sliding, cruising, and big hillin'. Have a good one! - Bish
You can go with either. The Drop Freeride will be a bit more stable, and you can do the occasional freestyle trick with it, but it's not as durable as the Diamond Drop. I personally prefer the Diamond Drop for all-around riding because it's great for freeriding and it is much more durable for freestyle. -Lindsay
Nice! There should be a behind the scenes on these things.
Moanin + Barcelona + Longboard = Piece of Paradise
The Apex 34 Double Concave!!!! You will love it and its perfect for your size!
_Molly
The maven 35 would be great for you! It handles higher speeds very well and it has great pockets for you to plant your feet in during slides. -Lindsay
impressive pop with that board
you can totally hit rails with the Apex 34 av rocker for sure! -Lindsay
i cannot wait for the summer to get back on my board
Did you get back on it?
Nah thats the normal mounting locations.
Drilling these boards is a pain in the ass with the fiberglass and carbon fiber so you usually wont find Apexes drilled very often. The inner mounts are pretty close to the drop so I can't see wanting to move them in at all. Really the key to how Axel is riding is the noseguards, that's what gives him the pop and really makes the Apex crazy good for freestyle etc.
The Diamond Drop is great for freeriding and for freestyle! Sounds like you would be really happy with this board :) -Lindsay
This was a sweet video dude.
For your height, and because you're interested in doing freestyle, I suggest going with the Apex 34! It'll be a bit easier for you to do flip tricks with because it's smaller and you'll be able to maneuver it easier. -Lindsay
Yeah for sure.
I mean the thing is, regardless of how they look, they change the performance of the deck like nothing else I have ever tried. My suggestion is to TRY the board with them, then try the board with out. I would bet that you end up liking the guards after trying them.
Hey Jack! Since you're starting out and you would like a board for cruising, check out the Pintail 43. It's easy to learn on, and it's meant for cruising and carving purposes. -Lindsay
Hey Mary! The Apex 34 double concave is great for freestyle, and if you're a smaller rider then it's also awesome for sliding since it has those comfy micro drops to plant your feet in. What are you trying to improve on? What is your current set up? -Lindsay
you guys should make a playlist of all your songs you use in your videos so we all have something to listen to while we cruise , cause I'm too much of a lazy ass LOL
seriously tho, if you guys ever have the time to do it, I would download it :)
Tis is why street skating is awesome.
I agree. I also like that some folks are blurring the line between "longboarding" style and "street skateboarding" style. Both of them have cool aspects to them, why not blend them together?
I don't see why people become defensive and say "that isn't longboarding, he's not supposed to ollie" etc etc
I would recommend the omen TKO because it is a good starter board with some mellow but more advanced concave such as W-convave and micro drops (mellow W-concave/micro drop), and it has sweet kicktails!
Bloody brilliant!
I recommend the Arbiter! It can handle any hill you can and is also a freeride machine. Its the board I've been riding the most lately, for both bombing hills and freeriding!! It will be great for skating those hills, as well as learning to slide!
_Molly
Check out Classic Freerides. They slide nicely but still have some grip and are good for cruising and carving as well. -Lindsay
such a fun video
Sick skating
everything is possible with a originalskateboard longboard !
It doesnt matter if it's Longboarding or more like skateboarding, either way it's impressive and he looks like he's having a hella good time
strange ending but very nice vid
still surprised not to have seen any boardslide from axel
i have the 40 dd and it is amazing at everything you want to do
axel is sooooo gnarly!!
Sick vid
we need an ollie-tricktip from this dude!
Damn I miss being in Barca!
Check out the Freeride 38 rocker concave! -Lindsay
thanks man, i really appreciate it
@sano262 rides what I ride; Caliber 44s.
Good choice!
Honestly you made a great choice with the Diamond drop, it is what I use for all around riding. It is stable for hills, plus is built to be great for slides and tricks. So it will handle what ever you throw at it.
_Davey
Hey, how tall are you? I would suggest our Drop freeride 41. It is very stable for downhill and the drop platform makes kicking and pushing easier, so you will have more cruising time.
_Davey
Hey Original! I've stumbled upon your channel a little while ago and I've figured out that I love your boards! I so far love your apex boards. I'm around 5'4 or 5'5. I'm gonna mostly be doing a little bit of downhill and some free riding. So If you could point out a nice size and concave and maybe even a different board, would be great!
-Liam
Seems like Barcelona is a great place to skate
thank you:) really appreciate it!
Thats a real tough one.
Something with a serious drop for sure. I have pushed some long distrance stuf on the Drop Freeride 41 but nothing like you are talking about. I would want to be as low to the ground as I could get for something like that. Adam Colton has way more experience in that sort of thing than I do, maybe hit him up?
barcelona looks cooool
Very good !!!!!!!!!
Amazing!
i agree you can tell by the way axel's right foot flicks
and a hell of skill
he drives it like fucking regular skate......
GLORIOUS
Hey Axel, en Barcelona pordrías ir a patinar a Avenida Pearson o calle Numáncia. Yo creo que son unos de los mejores sitios de Barcelona para patinar.
¡Espero que te gusten!
Nothing quite says freestyle like barcelona sessions with the apex series.
Hey, happy early birthday! I would suggest the Apex 40 Double concave for you. It will fit your size well and is great for tricks plus slides. It is a very durable board so you will have it through many stagiest of progression!
_Davey
Look in youtube for this video: A Winter Day In Pozo
This is a longboard video in a sunny day in winter!!!!
Hey! How tall are you? Check out Original trucks which are spring loaded and allow you to carve easily like your surfing. -Lindsay
Original you should make a 34-36 double kick board like a Comet Shred or Loaded Kanthaka, you'd sell a ton of them! The apex 34 is great but something with proper tails would be so much better for this riding style!
man this guy rips
wow .. just WOW
wooooo, killin it
Axel was rocking calibers 150 and Cult isms.
wow! i must find that tea !
I am deff buying an apex 34 now haha dope
Axel foda!!!!Freestyle é vida!!!
they are good in their own ways for instance longboards are good for bombing hills, while skateboards are better for hitting the parks
1:53 did this dude just do a heelflip? New found respect for Original
Ten konec je nejlepší :-D :-) :-)
and i have also been looking at the free rides
i am around the same size and i usually run Ford f-550 trucks
