Downhill Longboard Deck Clinic

     There are 4 types of downhill boards. Types are the top mount, drop through, drop deck, and the drop through drop combination.  An advantage of top mount is that you have an increased traction because you are above your trucks. The advantage to the drop deck is the lower foot placement which allows stability for high speeds. It also has wedges on each side which allows it to be more drift like. The advantage of a drop through deck is that its lower to the ground which gives it stability. And its like the medium between the drop deck and top mount. It allows great stability and somewhat amount of traction. The advantage of the combination drop deck is that it more of a medium between the drop deck and top mount than the drop through. It has a great amount of stability but less traction than a top mount.
