The Arbiter 36 KT Longboard "The People Have Spoken" NYC
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- The Arbiter 36 KT longboard was created with three things in mind: versatility, simplicity, and freedom, but we really wanted to know what you, the riders, thought about the board. The posts came in on our Facebook page, and we decided, "You Can't Make This Shit Up," so we let you, the longboard community and the people, share your ideas, but then, we decided to bring your words to the streets of New York. See how some residents of NYC kicked up your words to generate the "voice of the people," and describe the Arbiter KT.
Thanks to Facebook users Thomas D'Anieri, Evan Two-Bit Marbury, Emily Graham, Kip Eichhorn, Stirling MacArtuhr, Farmer J. Reitan, Jaimie Askartist Brucker, and Bryce Burtosky for the good word, and thanks to all of you for supporting the #longboardcommunity
Big thanks to Leroy Webb (leroywebb5857@gmail.com). Check out his video: • LEE ROCKS the "A" trai... .
Hey Original, just wanted to say that I ordered the 36 KT, and damn, I've never ridden a more comfortable board in my life. I love it and I have the best time riding it. My first board was the old Malakai, a fun board to learn on. But this thing blows it out of the park. Well done. I love it!
Thanks Devon!
A lot of work went into the KT to be sure.
Always fun to see things move forward and I can't think of a more clear instance of forward progress (as far as our boards are concerned) than the comparison you just brought up right there. Stoked you are into it and thanks for the support. Any time we can take someone from learning to getting on a serious performance board they love, we can go home happy. _Scott
Hey Yan,
We have some updates coming to the molds / shapes of the Freerides and have those aimed at testing over the winter with a goal of release in the spring. We are excited to have the Arbiter KT out there and def excited get into next years stuff. Stoked you like that freeride deck!
That's if we make it there! Ha! You would really enjoy the Arbiter KT then. There's many different wheel base options and I love using the tail on mine for carving. -Lindsay
Sounds like the boards a good fit for a little bit of everything with a downhill focus on the top end,
I am 175lbs at 6'0, I actually have my KT setup with 44 Calibers and Volante Checkers but my lady friend has one with 50s and some super soft protos thats really a lot of fun for slower stuff. She rides it with the wheelbase super tight and the thing carves / turns like crazy but is still a lot of fun sliding up through 35mph (at least for me). Mine is a little more speed focused for sure.
Yeah we do. World wide via UPS.
We charge a $60.00USD flatrate, although this does not include any import duties / taxes that your government may charge.
Original, I have a question! Was the graphic for this board inspired by Lava goat from your Hawaii trip a couple of years ago? Just wondering. I thought that would make an interesting backstory for you guys.
I find it funny how some wood, a few scraps of metal, and some polymer can make each of our lives so much better.
This board look pretty sick !!
this video makes me happy :)
I love how they have baffles at 1:55
Its so good I could eat cereal off this concave! :D
Harder wheels are easier to slide, so anything 80a and above is what I prefer, I ride 85a, very slidy, but still gives good grip.
The intro tho... >>>>>
Love the kid talking about cereal
We can ship it down for you for $60.00USD though that doesnt include VAT or whatever taxes / duties your government may charge you. I am not sure of the charges to Peru but I know we ship boards to South America all the time : )
Hi Original !
I've a Freeride 38 RC and i really like my board, but it begins old and demaged now...
Will you update the Freeride range soon ? It could be awesome ! If you do, i think i'll buy it immediatly ! :p
I love how Original had the dignity to leave in everything the civies said even if it wasn't good
the old mans the best
Axel shreds so hard!!!
Ich find es super. Ich möchte es kaufen.
I would love to get one! Too bad its 40 degrees outside...lol
RDVX is beast grip tape. Thanks original.
do another video on the baffle :)
Fuck it i need that deck right now!
I assume you guys had to change the song because of copyrights or something?
who in the world is that angel in the orange beanie?
Hey Original
Can you help me with my KT setup? I am 178 lbs and 5'8. Just so you know this is my first longboard.
what wheels were used for that 720?
How much would you recommend to spend on a downhill long board for a beginner - intermediate. I was looking at arbiter 36 kt. But it is a little expensive, well i think it is anyway. ???
The Arbiter Kt is the best you could get, maybe for a beginner you could go for one of the Apex boards. But I honestly think the arbiter's price is the best deal ever for waht you get.
What wheels are those at 3:21 does anyone know? I'd appreciate it
Can anyone recommend some decent wheels to chuck on this bad boy to perfect my sliding (wheel size and A rating). Please and thanks fellas
Oh hey, Givers
does anybody know how good the clearance is on this board? some friends own it and when i try it it just cant turn for shit but it looks really cool! ANY HELP PLEASE.
Hey Rodrigo - the problem you may be having has to do with the setup and your size. What's your weight/height? Setting your board up with a set of Paris trucks, for instance, and some softer bushings will allow you to easily turn the board as well as setting it up at the shortest wheelbase.
+Longboards by Original Skateboards Im 5'6, you are right, it might be the setup, bushings i guess, thanks for the help! Awesome costumer service by the way!
song? :)
Is the kt better than the dk for freeride and downhill?
Haulie Murray Hey Haulie - it depends and it's partially about personal preference. What's your weight/height? The KT has an edge in downhill because it has a wider wheelbase, so if you're looking for more downhill than freeride and your balance isn't totally dialed, the KT is better over the DK. If you're a more advanced rider, then the KT doesn't have as much edge over the DK because you'll be able to rock the shorter wheelbase at higher speeds.
music?
2:26 how the fark did he stop without hurting himself??
You like potato? well I like chicken.
To slide
Was that a stupid question ? Is it the KickTail ? --'
bez senu
should had never changed the song..... >=/
this has to be one of the greatest videos ive seen in a while! i absolutely love how you got random people to say stuff about it! thumbs uppp!
It takes practice and is certainly harder when you are a lighter rider. Just remember, its possible on any wheels and the primary thing you need to get around is your ride mechanics and body posture / control. I like what Volante has been doing lately, maybe check out the checkers? The new otang stuff in the softer duros is super loveable imo as well.
The kicktail is a major difference but the concave on the Arbiter KT has also been updated around the nose. Its deeper and happens much sooner, gives extra clearance for large wheels, adds some fine tuned feel for freestyle and definitely is an advantage as far as control in a tuck.
Loose trucks will help you learn to slide. Just make sure you are on a hill where you can control your speed (so that you dont get going too fast), the downside to loose trucks is stability until you improve your balance to the point where it's not a problem.... and that takes a while : )
Not totally sure about that phock,
We have a ton of stuff in the que right now but we want to cut an edit for sure.
Trying to get some of these other vids done and then get onto the Halloween Jam since it was so damn awesome.
You haven't skated with these guys.
Talk less trash on brands you dislike and skate more with people you don't know. Less trolling, more skating brah. Get out there.
We would be happy to sell it you, you can also check any of our many dealers online or in store. It is out and available right. Now.
Old man: Are you from California?
Girl: No, i'm from New Jersey.
Old man: That's even worse.
That is perfect
right!? Spoken like a true New Yorker.
Hey Lanre,
Depends what you want to do (both when you start, and down the road).
There are a lot of different sides of longboarding, in general as a bigger guy you could take a look at the Pintail 46 as a cruiser, or even the Drop Freeride 44 if you want easy slide initiation (which is the key issue a lot of people have when learning to slide). Actually the Arbiter KT would be a pretty solid board to learn on too though not the biggest deck, I like to teach beginners on the shorter wheelbase
Yeah man,
I have Volante Checkers on my deck (which are actually the wheels you see in a lot of this video). I like them a lot. I dont know that they are going to have the grip if you wanted to do super high speed stuff but for just messing around having fun and getting sideways I think they are great. As strange as it sounds I can't remember what duro they are, I'm thinking they are 82a but my boards in my trunk and its cold outside haha
/agree
Just got this board, and it's great! The concave is great. They don't mention the W-concave in the middle enough. When going in for slides, your heel and ball of your front foot get locked between the W and edge of the cereal bowl, and your back foot will be secure at the start of the tail. I use 78A wheels that are not meant to slide at all, and I pulled of the easiest slides I've ever done. Great job Original, love your team and your boards! Keep it up!
Hey うどん,
Stoked you are into the board but I am not sure where you are at on that W ; )
Sometimes when you have super deep / steep concave a 0 degree flat section in the center can feel like a slight W which I think may be what you are feeling, that said as the guy who layed out the mold, there isn't a raise other than that transition : )
Solid feedback and I think you are right on with the ease of slide initiation, I have taught two riders on the KT and both got the right idea, and quick.
this board is so good i can picture myself eating cereal on the concave
Would you say this board, the Arbiter 36 KT deck is better than the Rayne Darkside deck? I am thinking about getting one of the two. Anyone? Opinions?
Hey there. What kind of riding are you into? What's your weight/height? The one thing I will say (keep in mind we may be a little bias, haha), is that the KT has more setup options, so you have more versatility in your deck. You can basically go for a short wheelbase for fast freeride, but widen that wheelbase if you're wanting more stability/larger wheelbase for downhill. You just have a lot more options for ride style. Which of the decks are you leaning more towards?
Well I am 16 years old, a girl, 5'2 and around 130 lbs. I want to get into longboarding like sliding and I want maybe some little flex but a stiff deck. I want a deck where I can do slides, free ride and some tricks. I am not too sure what deck I want because I first saw the Rayne Otherside but it was just a little too long, and then I saw the Darkside which is a little shorter so I was going to go for that, but then I found this board and I really like both. I just want some opinions and preferences set for me.
Also I like the short decks, noting too long over 38'
That cute girl killed it with the Gatsby voice! "can I use my Gatsby voice? I have a Gatsby voice." Nailed it!
Is that jackblack?
'Theres gotta be a vowel between the S and the T, haven't you been to school?" What about start, stable, stab, staff, statitiscic, stage, stain, stairs, stupid? lol
This video is so perfect. Things like the sunlight shining through the bolt holes in sync with the music just makes it even better..... Even though that was probably put in in post.... This video is soooooooo beautiful
Definitely getting this board I don't think it can be shipped from original to the uk so I'm gonna have to buy the deck from a UK store and set it up myself can I ask where are the trucks like in which wheel base front and back
We can totally ship to the UK. Actually its discounted right now at $25USD. Should take 3-4 days to arrive just remember you have to pay another 21% in VAT tax to the UK when it arrives. I like the inner most wheelbase for everything except pure downhill!
Hey man.
I'm from the UK too, you can buy one from Newton's Shred. If you need any more help with this board or any gear things, hit me up! I'll send you a message so you can add me on Facebook etc. Whereabouts are you from?
*****
Ingrid Gorlica Yeah, what up?
This reason this video was re-uploaded is because it was not viewable in all countries. Taken from the OS Facebook page: "After some technical difficulties (not all riders could watch) our Arbiter 36 KT longboard video "The People Have Spoken" is live and better than ever:"
dude that dude with the blue colla shirt made the sweet sound of birds humming in the trees above making the riders kick abnormally awesome buttockses! Thanks Original, been a loving soulful rider because of yall, mahaloz
I need a narly hill please.. And the Arbitor! I need more choice with trucks, wheel, and boards in France, they all seem to Skateboard! I just wanna carve my way to heaven, with Original
Are you from South California? No, I'm fron New Jersey... OH! That's even worse... hahahahaha
hey original what was the song on the other version of this video before it was deleted
hey original am 6 foot 4 and 95 kg and have no skateboarding experience what longboard do u think would be best to start with
This is why Original is awesome keeping it real have some fun with the city folks and busting out amazing boards you go guys
This video cracks me up in a way you wouldn't believe! Lmfao! "This kick tail is steezy motherfucking ma-gee!"
I'm 12 years old and I can slide on my longboard but it's not very easy what wheels do people recommend ??
Now I wish I was sponsored by Original. My friend wants this board so bad and I could get it for him. Aha
Original please help me! i wanna buy the arbiter 36k but i live in Peru. How i do to get the deck?
FINALLY I LIVE IN GERMANY AND I CAN ACTUALLY WATCH VIDEOS FROM ORIGINAL NOW. i'm done screaming.
Haha! But Can you tell me what the difference between the Arbiter 36 KT and the Arbiter 36 ? :/
Sweeeet, yeh definately looking for something to muck around the streets on. Thanks heaps man!
Hey original, i was just wondering if an edit for the Halloween Jam is coming out. Thanks!
So the new commercial isn't nearly as nice D: what happens to the original commercial?
I LOVE this board. It rides exactly how I want it to, and surprisingly easy to kickflip on. Wonderful ride all around
Kenneth Oyler it's feedback like this that makes me believe we are on the right track.
Awesome to see a deck built for speed (along with pretty much anything else) received so well.
Thanks for the support KO!
Hey guys, I wanted to know if it is normal for the board to crack after doing ollies on flat ground. I'm not stomping it, yet it developed cracks through the plies 8 out of 9 to be exact.
Kenneth - not totally sure what your board looks like -- shoot us an email customersupport@originalskateboards.com so we can see what kind of cracking you have going on and help you fix up your board if need be. Make sure to include your customer/order number when you email as well as photos of the deck. Thanks!
i just can't stop noticing that there is a spot on the lens in some of the shots
Great commercial. Definitely stoked on the direction that original is heading
WHHHHHHYYYYYY you change the music !!!! the first one fit the video perfect :(
There we go, you needed those extra Sean Spees clips, gave it extra steeze..
Well, I know what I want for christmas now, will there be any sale by then?
stEEzeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyy
Now I know which long bored bored to get love the the bottom of the bored
Love the board but you guys should try making one thats maybe 38 inches for larger riders. That would be dope
Haisam Rihawi Hey Haisam, what's your weight/height? We have a lot of bigger riders (as well as smaller riders) rocking the KT with the 36 in" platform.
So sick!!! I just got this board, and I'm loving it!
Definitely you should get some 77a centrax! They are so rad Thomas
Haha best commercial I ever saw. Singing black guy killed it xD
What is the name on the guy with the rasta hair? He's sick !!!
