Bottom mounting a top mount board?

**Negi Konno** · 06-09-2009 01:03 PM

I know this is completely random, I was bored and just started thinking about it. But could you mount the trucks on the bottom of a top mount board or would it put too much stress on the four wooden corners? I know its already doing that when you do top mount it but I wanted to check just for the hell of it.

I think you mean top mounting a drop-thru. It has been done but there is a greater risk of breaking something. If what I said makes no sense I'm sure someone else can help answer your question.

if you are indeed talking about top mounting a drop thru, it can be done. I do it. it works fine.

you can mount a board upside down too, if that's what you're asking

Can you specify what "bottom mounting" is?

I think he wants to mill out a drop-through for a topmount board. If that's the case then it's possible and I don't think it should affect the board or make it more fragile If you do it right.

Sorry, wrote this when I was half asleep. Top mounting a dropthru board is what I ment.

just wondering, you say there is greater risk of breaking something, why? the stresses are more evenly distributed, therefore there is no change at all.

I just thought I heard it somewhere. It made sense that a hole in the board would make the board weaker. Just my two cents. Sorry for any confusion.
