ZILVANLONGBOARDS - LOWNLONG

A ride height that comes in below 2’… deck width circa 11’ plus… just consider that in your mind… Length, Shape/Strength- ( Minimal Flex) enable this ride to run low an long… found very little issue with ‘steering’.. able to mosey round the obvious and no trouble on little kurbs… with the exception of 3’ Plus..

Once again guest of the ZilvanLongboards march across this summer the other night…

Have not had the chance to ride a drop-through this year yet… don’t need it anymore… found mine in the
ZilvanLongboards Trailer Traveller…. (Lownlong)


Originally a ‘High-sitting Mountain Boarder’ most of the last three years… ZLBZ had taken the deck… ripped the ‘Interchangeable’ Running gear off.. And given the Team riders one Deign House operative to record there findings…

This were a productive idea… free rain on ride height.. Hardware.. And wheel base…
We decided Low and Long were the title on the agenda that night… Cruising both hill and flat..
Along with a play in the park being achievable.. with some day-day town stuff…
This one piece board has enough concave, control with a mere 4 ply wood/melamine construction.. I genuinely had a blast busting around nothing more than 2’ off the ground… The conversation came around to rehashing the Lownlong with other materials… there unsure… What do you guys think…

Untold control at speed.. Have not found a hill as yet, she cant take in her stride…

This hill we found were around a mile in length… Fresh (Within the last 3 years) Tar-macadam… paint and the foe of the discerning downhill.. Cats’ eyes… A short wooded trek up, you were met at the top with clear skies, many a star and smooth, smooth tarmac… Two and half ‘Lanes’ wide… a sensible A road..
With fields either side circa 2.30ish…

Having given due time for traffic… we ragged it… The earlier stint in the park bottomed out the deck.. Leaving an increase in concave on one end… thus increasing the ’Touching Surface’ of the stringers…
With one end (Unsurewhich) left like a ‘Dead Legg’…. with you constantly re-balancing to counter act this wayward beast… We rolled over the edge.. And INN…..

Approximate speed 43-50Mph… luge position with the earlier complications just had to go down… an un-nerving scrappy start swiftly lead to you gunning down.. Silent, with absolutely NO Speed wobble.. Even the aged among us will prick there ears up at that… I mean nothing… no bobbles through rutts… and carving out is deemed the civilised way to travel… The lownlong held out all the way… gave you all you asked for in response, comfort and control… couldn’t fault it…

Clean hill.. Controlled final stages… and beyond 45Mph… a nod to the boys on luge/butt boards I see your game… Low and long, dubious ground clearance.. Real life entertainment….

Pronounced - Lownlong… (Lone -Long)

A real odd-ball looker.. With hidden finesse and ease of use (Stride, light in the hand)… there’s V2... and a
V3 is still in the design house… but with all that weight behind the concept.. Well.. Here comes the fun…

‘To any Tom Dick or Harry.. The deck is just a flat, curved, ‘Board’.. which is the case… but set either of those boys down a hill and well It’s gunna be one hell of and afternoon for totoe..’

Accommodating in style… Racer.. Through to luge… again another versatile deck from these guys…
I found placing feet nearer the trucks, (Edges) gave the rider an almost floating sensation where previously a ‘Bogged down’ stance weighted in the centre of the deck really hindered your stride… moving the feet, lowering the Centre of Gravity increased speed, also a betterment in balance became apparent..
Along with everything else this one’s double drilled for pleasure … and what a difference if you switch.

Free-standing another innovative touch from the design house…

In spite of the make do and mend mentality here at ZilvanLongboards… another ’One hell of a proto guys’ was the call of the night as we bid farewell to the evening.. Another nod to the thing.. to it’s self this time.. Suffice as to say we went for it….

This quietly thrilling.. Bizarre looking deck is well worth a spot in you quiver… The gents over at ZilvanLongboards have all the scope for reproduction to custom spec.. along with putting this standard
model in to’ Production ‘ as off the end of the week…
Pure traveller… Distance is not beyond the deck… he he...

Here's an initial shot or two of the 'Travelling Edition'... Zilvan Longboards can Provide a melay of attachments, and add-onns to accomodate the craziest of ideas...
