Cruiser boards are great for skating pretty much anything and that’s why Alex and Edd took their dinghies out for a skate & explore mission to a riverfront they’ve never been before. When team rider Dane Hanna wanted to bomb some serious hills, it was time to trade in the dinghy and switched to the race category so they can get downhill speeds on the El Peligro (Dane’s Pro Model).

Landyachtz Switchblade Review: The Immortal Freeride Longboard

Posted on Last updated: March 7, 2024

Categories Freeride , Gear & reviews

Sharing is caring!

The Landyachtz Switchblade has been around for over a decade, yet it remains a highly regarded longboard for freeride and fast downhill riding, as well as for comfortable all-around transportation.

What is the Landyachtz Switchblade good at? It’s a super stable board at higher speed thanks to its large standing platform, double-drop construction, lowered platform, and affirmed concave for secure foot lock-in. Despite its high stability, the Switchblade is a responsive freeride board great for learning to slide, as well as a capable long-distance push commuter. It’s one of the most durable boards on the market.

Landyachtz Switchblade shape and construction

The Switchblade is a solid and stiff, 9-ply maple wood deck with a fully symmetrical shape and huge wheel cutouts for ample wheel clearance.

An exception to the full maple construction is the pricier “Hollowtech” version of the Switchblade built using Landyachtz’s special technology. This construction results in a hollow core deck that’s astonishingly lightweight and is transparent in the light!

The tiny tail and nose (1.825″ each, no kicks) result in a large wheelbase and effective foot platform for each Switchblade size. Here are the width and wheelbase for each version:

• Switchblade 40″: 10″ wide, 31″ wheelbase
• Switchblade 38″: 9.8″ wide, 29″ wheelbase
• Switchblade 36″: 9.5″ wide, 27″ wheelbase

The Switchblade has a drop-through constructio n with the trucks mounted across the deck’s “wingtips” – the baseplate sits above the deck while the hanger sits below it.

The deck is also dropped , meaning the standing platform sits lower than the level of the truck mounts, which makes it a “ double-drop ” deck (since it also has a drop-through mount). Unlike other dropped decks, the drop is not vertical but slanted, allowing you to tuck your feet against it.

Another key complementary aspect of the deck’s shape is the prominent W concave which creates two deep pockets between each truck mount and the middle section of the deck.

So while the standing platform is globally lower than the truck mounts, the deep pockets at each end of the platform make are even lower to the ground than the midsection, cuddling your feet in a secure lock-in.

The drop-through mount and carefully engineered foot pockets make for a significantly reduced distance to the ground and hence a very stable, comfortable, and secure ride.

Landyachtz Switchblade riding experience

Again, the main impression from riding the Switchblade is one of sheer stability and security when going fast, due to the lowered center of gravity.

The board is also surprisingly responsive and maneuverable at higher speeds given its sheer size and wheelbase – even the 40″ version. The turny and carvy Grizzly Bear trucks make the board lively. The slanted dropped shape gives you good leverage over the trucks, noticeably better than with a classic vertical drop.

Due to the large wheel cutouts, you never experience wheelbite including when doing tight carves on a bigger slope – even with the big 70mm wheels the board comes stock with (see setup section).

Sliding on the Switchblade

Breaking into slides is easy due to the lower ride and gravity center. Learning to slide on the Switchblade is greatly facilitated by the secure feel provided by the deep foot pockets and the raised rails.

The foot lock-in, the great stability, and the responsive turning all combine to give you the confidence to push the board out sideways by pressing on the uplifted edges and shifting your weight off the board while facing downhill.

The Switchblade is truly an excellent board for a beginner freerider to build his/her sliding skills on. The symmetrical shape also makes switch riding and 180º slides easier. The absence of kicks, however, prevents more sophisticated freeride tricks.

Downhill riding on the Switchblade

It’s also a capable downhill board, again thanks to its outstanding stability at high speed and its uber-secure concave. The responsiveness in turns also makes it suitable for high-speed corners. Pre-drifting is easy on this board – although you probably won’t hold as tight and clean lines as on a top mount speed board.

Commuting on the Switchblade

The Landyachtz Switchblade is suitable for distance pushing and commuting, being a stable low-riding longboard. The large wheelbase makes it comfortable for kick-pushing over long durations. The only caveat is the strong concave and foot pockets which lock your feet in specific positions, hindering your ability to adjust your position when pushing.

While the Switchblade is a good downhill carver thanks to its maneuverable and lively ride, here again, many riders feel that the deep W concave sometimes restricts the foot movement in a negative way, e.g. when pumping which requires constant foot adjustments.

Also, while the big cutouts offer high wheel clearance for doing tight carves, the very low foot pockets may sometimes scrape the ground e.g. when encountering small terrain bumps in hard turns.

Landyachtz Switchblade setup

The Switchblade comes with Bear Grizzly GR852 trucks which are extremely smooth, responsive and carvy trucks. The 852s play a key role in the Switchblade’s overall responsiveness and high maneuverability in spite of its size and weight. I’ve used the GR852 for months and really love the way they feel (see my review of the Landyachtz Chief pintail for more details).

The Switchblade in all three sizes ships with 70mm Mini Zombie Hawgs wheels (80A duro ). The Mini Zombies are good round-lipped wheels with an offset core. Despite being relatively soft for smooth rolling on all kinds of terrain, these wheels break traction easily and offer a smooth slide and predictable hook-up. They are very suitable for learning to slide and are quite durable (less prone to flat spots).

The Bear Spaceball bearings that come with the Mini Zombies have built-in spacers, which help preserve the Grizzly trucks from premature damage when learning to slide.

Note: the Bear and Hawgs brands are owned by Landyachtz, which guarantees the quality of the components included in the Landyachtz setups.

Switchblade visual designs

The Switchblade comes in a few attractive, mountain-inspired graphic designs that convey the board’s freeride and downhill primary riding purpose:

Mountains Blue Fade 40″

Mountains Yellow Fade 38″

Mountains Green 36″

Hollowtech Mountains Yellow 40″

Mountains Blue 40″

Mountains red 38″

See the Landyachtz Switchblade’s pricing and buyer reviews on Amazon or on Landyachtz

Final words

The Landyachtz Switchblade is a highly reliable and durable board that will help you get into freeride or downhill by offering you comfort, stability and security without losing maneuverability.

A low-riding longboard, the Switchblade is also suitable for long-distance pushing and commuting provided you get used to the aggressive concave. The quality stock setup that ships with the complete also contributes to making this board smooth rolling and fast turning, both on flat land and hills.

You can pick the right size Switchblade for your height, weight, and personal riding goals. You can also opt for the Hollowtech version for a more lightweight and portable board. Without a doubt, after all these years, the Switchblade is still great value for money.

Our Longboards are designed to get you out exploring your environment, no matter what kind of terrain you have surrounding you. The boards in this category come in two deck styles; Top mounted or Drop-through. Top mount boards give you tons of leverage over your trucks, giving you a deeper carving, surfy feel and a lively ride underfoot. Drop-through boards are lower to the ground, making them driftier, more stable and blurring the lines between longboarding and freeriding.

Switchblades

Switchblade knives have been around for well over a hundred years, and they’re here to stay. They have become very popular with Law enforcement, Military Personnel, Emergency Medical Technicians, and many other professions…such as Fisherman who used these almost exclusively for their ease of use with one hand while tending their nets from snags, minimizing their net damage and financial losses.

The Italian stiletto switchblades became very popular in the United States after many G.I.`s brought them home after World War 2 from Italy & other European countries. Even the US Military realized their potential & had them issued for our soldiers, especially for the purpose of cutting shroud lines on Parachutes in case of tree landings or hang-ups.

Nowadays they are mostly considered a “collectable” or Curios.

Switchblade knives are becoming increasingly popular while more and more states are removing the legal limitations on these items. Some states such as Arizona or Florida allow them to be carried whilst other states limit them to being collectibles only. (However laws do vary by state and sometimes county).

In Italian stiletto and lever lock switchblades alone, there are many variations. For example, there are multiple blade styles such as: bayonet, dagger, kriss, and flat grind just to name a few.

Classic handle materials were mostly, wood, buffalo, stag, and blonde horns. But as technology evolved so did the handle options. For example colored acrylic handles, abalone, mother of pearl, etc are now available.

Sizes also vary anywhere from 5’’ OAL (Overall Length) to 18’’ OAL generally. But there have been larger ones made.

Here at MySwitchblade we carry more than just Italian switchblades . We carry switch blades from many places around the globe including: Russia, The U.S, Czechoslovakia, as well as asian imports.

We carry custom high-end “knife art” Waist Latama switchblades as well, from such makers as: Jeff Harkins, Paul (Burn) Panak, Reese Weiland, Jim and Joyce Minnick, Bill Saindon, and Anthony Marfione.

We do have some custom fixed blades and folders. From makers like D’ Holder.
