flexdex rt 40 VS. never summer heist/descent

[herrimanhills]

k so i have narrowed it down to three boards. never summer heist, never summer descent, and flexdex rt 40. kinda prefer top mount so either the heist or rt 40 but i dont really have a problem with the drop mounting unless it takes away a huge amount of leverage (never ridden a drop mount before). i would be using it for carving some pretty gnarly hills and the occasional steep canyon, that and just exploring the mountains outside my small city.
any advice appreciated.
thanks

The reduction of leverage that you fear is hardly noticeable in terms of carving. True, a topmount will be just as agile, but having ridden a Pro40 and a Dervish, I can tell you that they both felt essentially the same.
The Dervish, I have to say, was actually more enjoyable, mostly because it was lower and easier to push.

The only difference you're going to be seeing is in terms of grip. Topmounts = Grippier, while a Dropthrough = Driftier/slidier.

I would recommend the Heist (even over the Dervish), because of it's height advantage, and because the Pro40 weighs 10ish pounds deck alone.

here's a little tip for ya to make your choice harder.
you can also topmount a dropthrough but can drop a topmount

Never Summer Flex = AWSOME
FlexDex Flex = Terrible

I ride a dervish, and I actually prefer the Never Summer Flex. They make some really nice boards.
