Landyachtz ATV Review: Shred Hard, Cruise Soft

Sharing is caring!

If you’re a street skater who commonly cruises across town on your street deck, or if you’re a longboarder looking to hone your street tricks skills, then you need to take a closer look at Landyachtz’s ATV hybrid skateboard line.

Landyachtz’s ATV hybrid boards are a mixture of cruiser and traditional skateboard. They are 30-35″, street-inspired skateboards with old-school type shapes but running on bigger, softer wheels and TKP trucks for comfortable shredding around the city without giving up hardcore street tricks.

In short, the ATVs are city rippers designed for all-around but street-oriented skateboarding. They are Landyachtz’s answer to the “skate everything” movement. In the rest of this post, we look at what these cool street cruisers are made of and what they’re capable of.

The ATV come in different shape variations (see section further below) and graphic designs. They are affordably priced between $149 and $179.

Check out the Landyachtz ATV on Amazon or Evo .

Landyachtz ATV main characteristics

As mentioned, the Landyachtz ATV is primarily meant for combining capable urban cruising on any type of terrain (hence the “ATV” name) with traditional street skating.

The ATVs achieve this through a reinforced and oversized traditional skate construction combined with cruisy trucks and bigger, softer wheels compared to a typical street deck.

The big double kicks, stiff flex, and mild concave let you easily snap ollies and kickflips, as well as ride skateparks, pools, and ditches. At the same time, the deck shapes and the trucks and wheels make for comfortable shredding and even allow for some freeride.

The ATV rides very smoothly, similar to the very popular Dinghy . The traditional skate construction and large kicks give it really good pop and make it as street functional as the older Loco Series. The decent wheelbase and TKP trucks on the ATV make it quite stable and easy to slide on when riding down medium hills.

So the Landyachtz ATV delivers what it was designed for, which is to let you mix several styles of skating – urban travel, carving, ollies and kick tricks, freeride – on various kinds of terrain.

Landyachtz ATV shapes

There are actually 3 different shapes for the Landyachtz ATV, named Laguito, Presidente, and Perfecto. All three are hybrid shapes with double kicks and the same 14.375″ wheelbase. However, subtle differences between them give each version a slightly different mix of street vs cruiser features.

The ATV Laguito

The Laguito is 32″ long and 8.5″ wide and has the most traditional street shape of the three, fully symmetrical and popsicle-like with rounded tails. The narrowest of the three (0.1″ to 0.5″ narrower than the others), it’s optimized for fast rail transitions and maximum pop for kickflips and ollies. It’s best-suited for riders with smaller sized feet.

The ATV Presidente

The Presidente has a slighly more directional shape than the Laguito, with a bit wider tail and a bit narrower nose with a chisel shape. The kicks on the Presidente are virtually symmetrical, however, so the shape works fine for kick tricks as well.

The slightly wider tail provides a bit more leverage for carving and urban shredding, including for a rider with larger feet. At 31.5″ x 8.6″, the Presidente version is a tad wider and slightly shorter than the Laguito.

The ATV Perfecto

The Perfecto is the bigger version of all three, with a 32″ length and 9″ width (same wheelbase as the other two) making for the most comfortable commuting. This is the most cruise and speed-focused version with a bullet shape, tapered tail and widened nose. This lets you shift more weight on your front truck for higher leverage and faster riding, including downhill.

Although the Perfecto has the most directional shape of the three, it’s still highly trickable with a large kick tail for ollies and kickflips and asymmetrical concave for riding switch comfortably.

ATV deck construction

Although at first sight, the ATV decks may look like regular skateboards, they are built using a hybrid of 7-ply maple, epoxy and fiberglass. The added fiberglass top sheet stiffens and greatly strengthens the decks while keeping them lightweight. The extra layer also adds snappiness and durable pop to them.

The decks have big kicks (for tricks, see previous section for versions), a medium radial concave (for shredding and sliding), and a stiff flex (for kick tricks and park). All these elements participate in the street vs cruise vs speed balanced mix.

ATV trucks and wheels

Landyachtz also own the highly reputable Bear Trucks and Hawgs Wheels brands, so all Landyachtz complete boards come with these high-quality components.

All 3 versions of the ATV ship with 155mm Polar Bear TKP trucks, which are great carving and pumping trucks (I’ve been riding them for a long time). The trucks are very responsive. They come fitted with an angled riser in the front which adds a bit more carve to the ride.

The stock bushings are very soft and squishy barrel bushing which are nice for cruising and shredding. For hardcore street riding, though, you may choose to swap them for slightly harder bushings (e.g. Bones medium hard).

Fit for street riding, the Polar Bears have a very high tolerance and are among the lowest cast trucks on the market. They have heat-treated axels, machined hanger shoulders, precision threading, engineered bushing seats…

The Landyachtz ATV skateboards come with 60mm 78A Chubby Hawgs wheels. These wheels are fast and smooth, big enough to roll over cracks and bumps. They use a special urethane formula that Landyachtz tests on downhill longboards in freeride conditions.

The wheels are filled with 8mm Bear Spaceball bearings. My own favorite setup runs on those, and after breaking them in, the wheels really roll on forever.

Some riders refer to swap the wheels for slightly bigger, 63mm wheels to better absorb ground imperfections.

Landyachtz ATV designs and colors

As mentioned, the ATV comes in slightly different shapes, but also various great-looking color designs – each design is associated with a single shape, so you must choose between your preferred shape OR your preferred graphic art. Here are some of the ATV art options:

With the ATV series, Landyacthz stays true to its reputation with a really well-made, durable composite deck and quality components for the completes. Like all their products, the ATVs are made at a small factory in the middle of British Columbia and shipped all over the world.

The ATV caters to the need of those who like to skate as a way to recreate while commuting. It’s a smaller board for all-around urban skateboarding and functionality for all styles – street, park, pools, some freeride.

They offer a nice cruiser feel (and even shape for the Perfecto) while staying trickable, fast, flowy, and stable at some speed.

Last but not least, at $150-$180 they are quite reasonably priced given the quality and value they offer street and commuter skaters of all kinds.

Landyachtz ATV Review – Master Of None

By: Author Ruben Vee

Posted on Published: October 31, 2021  - Last updated: December 7, 2023

By sharing you support this website

It’s been a while since I reviewed a skateboard, this time I tested the Landyacht ATV and I know many of you are curious about this board.

To be honest, I wasn’t that impressed mainly because it’s expensive. It’s heavy, requires a lot of effort to flip and I also wouldn’t recommend it as a cruiser.

The Landyachtz ATV is advertised as a trick cruiser skateboard that can do everything. The reality is that it’s an all-around skateboard that’s not good at anything, but can do a bit of everything. It offers a smooth ride and can handle technical tricks . Beginners will love it, experienced skaters should stay away.

The ATV Classic Howdy is great for those who:

• Want to learn how to ride a skateboard.
• Need something stable and lots of room for foot placement.

You will not like this board if you:

• Already know how to ride.
• Want to learn tricks.
• Think this board is great for cruising AND tricks.

What I Don’t Like About the Landyachtz ATV

What i like about the landyachtz atv, how it rides, comparing the landyachtz atv to a custom setup, other landyachtz atv shapes.

It’s not all that great but I’m being super picky here. There are a couple of issues with this board which you should be aware of.

• It isn’t very carvy and you’ll lose stability when you want to make a sharp turn.
• The mellow concave and total weight makes this board hard to flip and ollie, it requires a lot of effort.

It’s very heavy, the trucks and deck weigh a ton which doesn’t make it very nimble. It feels sluggish, like skating a tank. This also means it’s pretty durable but if you want to ollie or kickflip, it feels a bit awkward.

One of the local skaters over here commented that he would break is ankles if he kept flipping the board. Check the video below:

Sure it takes some time to get used to, but it isn’t a great street skateboard. For that you should pick your own parts and assemble it yourself, more about that later.

There are also a lot of positive things to say about the Landyachts ATV. For one, the wheels are insane! Grippy and smooth but they still allow you to pull of slides on slicker surfaces. They also look great, I love white wheels and they stay white for a long time.

It’s very stable, beginners will love this because it means it’s one of the better boards for those who want to learn how to ride first and learn tricks later. You get the feeling of how a popsicle shaped skateboard works but not the gittery movements of a street skateboard.

The soft wheels make it a breeze to ride, very forgiving and reliable. Hard and small street skate wheels for example will give you a hard time when you ride a skateboard for the first time.

The trucks also aren’t too carvy, so you wont be all over the place. They are heavy and wide, so it won’t do anything unexpected. An experienced rider will appreciate this less.

I also love this board for filming! It’s easy to carry around and it doesn’t do anything unexpected when you take it slow. I think if you’re an (adult) beginner that wants to learn how to ride, this is perfect

It rides fine, pretty comfy actually. A single push will make it roll for a long time, this also makes it a great filmer skateboard.

The wheels are awesome, this is the first Landyachtz setup with wheels I actually like and didn’t felt the need to replace them. They roll smooth, perform great on gritty asphalt and you can even plough through sand/gravel.

Maybe the circumstances were just right, but you can actually take this board off-road. Not that it keeps going, you need to keep pushing to keep momentum but you can pull it off. Should test this at our local BMX pumptruck some day.

I really don’t like the Polar Bear 155mm trucks, I’m not a fan of Polar Bear trucks anyway. They are heavy, feel sluggish, and the bushings never seem to do what you ask them to. They also make this board even heavier than it already is.

I didn’t feel comfortable enough to take on the really gnarly roads, I also carry expensive equipment and decided not to risk it. I’ll pad up soon and give it a try and update this review accordingly.

The wheels give away when you approach slick surfaces at a sharp angle, but stay firmly gripped on grittier asphalt. A deep carve feels unnatural, I don’t trust this board enough to push its limits.

Technical skating is where this falls short, it is not made for kickflips or ollies. It’s too heavy and sluggish for hardcore skating and my crash test volunteer felt very uncomfortable. Technical tricks are risky and you’ll land primo more often compared to a regular setup.

Here’s what my friend said; “This board feels super heavy and it makes my trained feel sore, this will hurt tomorrow if I keep flipping it”.

That’s where this board fails, it’s not technical at all. It’s sort of a cruiser and yet it isn’t.

A while ago I assembled my own cruiser trick board, I had some parts laying around, I did not picked them specifically. Here’s the thing, that setup is cheaper, lighter, and far better for tricks. However, it doesn’t ride as smooth as the ATV.

Mine accelerates faster and is easier to flick or ollie and performs better in parks and bowls. The ATV keeps going for a longer time but requires a lot of effort when you want to do more technical stuff.

This is why the ATV is a master of none, it does everything but isn’t really great at anything. That’s what you get when you buy a complete. It has to appeal to the masses and when experienced riders like me take it for a ride, there is always disapointment.

Here’s what a custom setup like this would cost you:

• 8.5 Quality maple deck from Thank You: $60 (including grip tape)
• OJ Super Juice 60mm/78a or Bones Rough Riders 60mm/80a: $40
• Zealous Classics or Bronson G2: $25 / $20
• Paris Street trucks (149): $35
• 1/8″ risers: $5
• Hardware: $3

That would come down to $160-170 depending on where you shop and the bearings you pick. You’ll have a poppier deck and the setup wouldn’t feel as sluggish and heavy. For less and a bit of effort you get a better setup.

Landyachtz ATV Specifications

Let’s look at this setup and the individual parts. This setup is fine in general but there are a few things that could make it or break it depending on what you are looking for.

• Wheels feel bouncy but offer a very smooth ride, higher risk of landing primo.
• Quality 7-ply maple deck but the mellow concave is not for everyone.
• Heavy trucks make it harder to pop this board.

The 60mm 78a Lil EZ Hawgs offer a very smooth ride but feel very bouncy at the same time. You really feel them bounce back when flipping the board, this also results in landing primo more often.

Great for a cruiser but maybe just a bit too soft for tricks. Since there is no such thing as the perfect cruiser trick board, something has got to give. I personally like my Bones 80A rough riders better, they feel less bouncy compared to the Lil EX Hawgs.

The deck is around 8.5″ wide, and 32″ in lenght with a 14.375 wheel base. It feels heavier compared to other 8.5″ decks I skated. It’s a quality board for sure and you won’t snap it easily. Despite its weight it still has pop and enough flex, though maybe a bit stiffer compared to other brands.

The wheel wells are a nice addition, not sure if they are really add anything. The mellow concave may be a bit boring when you’re an aggressive or technical skater. Beginners will appreciate the shape.

The bearings are fine, they work great with the wheels and the ATV keeps rolling for a long time and doesn’t require you to push a lot. Bearings are overrated anyway, but if you wan’t something that accelerates faster, replace them with Bronson G2’s. If you want to focus more on cruising try Zealous Classics instead.

As mentioned earlier, the trucks are bulky and heavy but beefy. Probably a lot of meat to grind through is that is your thing. The bushings require a few tweaks because they are rather soft. Ride is a bit, tighten the kingpin nut, and see if it works for you.

The trucks are placed on 1/8″ risers to add some extra clearance. We didn’t experience any wheel bit.

I picked this version because it comes close to a regular skateboard setup, the rest of the ATV boards are cruisers. I think if you are a person that just wants to cruise you’ll be better off with a wider version like the Ditch Life.

Since the ATV Classic board isn’t great for technical skating, you might as well pick a board that is better at cruising or assemble your own board.

Landyachtz offers pretty decent cruisers and longboards but street skating is something completely different. Their trucks are made for cruising, their wheels are made for cruising and so are their decks. Not hardcore skateboarding.

I was very biased about this board since it’s hyped so much. After testing many LY boards you kinda know what to expect. I have to admit, it’s a pretty decent board though, maybe a bit expensive for what you get. I thought my own skateboard cruiser setup would be a more comfortable ride but Landyachtz beats my setup in that regard.

It lacks the ability for technical skating; kickflips and ollies require a lot of effort and you will feel your joints and ankles when you do so. This is not how this board is advertised, the sales pitch tells you it can do everything.

While in theory this is true, it will take a really good skater to pull this off. And why would a really skilled skater buy this board anyway? Experienced skaters know what they like and stick to what the are used to, if this is you stay away from the LY ATV.

If you are a beginner skater or getting back into skateboarding and want something cruisable, ollie a few curbs, pull of some slappies, this board is perfect.

I’m an aged skateboarder and still shred responsibly. Started skateboarding 25 years ago, peaked in the 2000’s, and still ride to this day. I am a total geek when it comes to skateboard gear, love test to stuff and share my findings.

The board is designed for 60mm wheels and the Moto Fun edition is set up with Ez Hawgs to give you a versatile wheel with an easy slide.

Customer Reviews

I wanted a skateboard for cruising paved park trails and going to the skatepark. This board does it all. Amazing quality, super smooth, super stable. I would highly recommend this board to anyone.

Great, lightweight board, I’m 34 so wanted something wide to learn and cruise, really pleased with the feel of the board, rides smooth, easy to turn, chubby hawgs goes through everything finally the fox graphics are amazing as well, it kind of looks like my dog so that is a plus for me.

I have been trying to decide between a popsicle style and a classic shape. I am so glad I chose the ditch life. I can surf skate and ride bowls. Nice and wide for my fat feet. Perfect skateboard. Thanks landyachtz

Ditch Life - Black Sine Wave

Super easy board to get back into skateboarding with. I appreciate how stable it is. The width is also nice because I have big feet.

Flex Ratings

We’ve categorized the stiffness of our boards into 3 main groups, listed below.  The general rule is the faster you’re skating, the stiffer the deck, but this is not universal.

Flexy – Soft and supple flex profile best suited for carving and cruising on longer boards. The bouncy nature of these decks lets you turn deeper and surf your surrounds.

Medium – The do it all of our boards, a perfect balance of stability and carve. 

Stiff – From cruisers to downhill boards a stiff flex profile excels in stability and responsiveness.  Whether you’re dipping into driveways or bombing a mountain pass you’ll be down with the stiffness.
