Anatomy of a Longboard

     A longboard consist on many a few different parts. It goes from the deck, trucks, bearings and wheels.
The decks can vary from top mounted to drop through. Top mounted is when the trucks are attached to the bottom of the board which gives you more height between the board and the ground. Drop through is when the base plate of the truck is attached to the top of the longboard.
      This allows the board to be closer to the ground giving it more stability. Next is the truck. The truck contains many different party from the hanger to the washer.  Next up is the wheels. They are set up so you can choose the perfect wheel for your style of riding. So if you want to brake slide you can get a harder wheel, but if you want to cruise with control then you can get a soft wheel that grips well when turning.
