Drop thru originals?

[ATB Longboards]

i have the 250mm originals on now but i was wondering if it was possible to put them on a drop thru deck or would the trucks hit the deck when carving? has anyone tried it?

They don't drop through. Flushmount or topmount only.

You can see why yourself. Go to a carpeted area so you won't roll. Get on your deck, bend yourself over so you can look under the board, and lean it as far as it goes. (loosen the trucks if it's hard to do this while you're looking under there) Look at the tiny space between the hangar and the baseplate... the deck would be pinched there if the trucks were mounted dropthrough.

I suppose that a really thin, tough deck like a Rogers Bros or a Bombsquad could be built to work. Cut the tips to avoid wheelbite, cut dropthrough holes that would fit the Original baseplates. Hope that it's still strong enough after all that cutting.

But, if you're using a deck that thin anyway, then you're not losing much height by dropping them through, plus they already ride so low and have so much lean, that you'd be risking railbite unless the deck was also very narrow.. and then you'd be risking toe-to-pavement contact instead. I guess you could add 97mm Flys to raise the height back up, but then why did you bother lowering it in the first place?

You wouldn't want them dropped. I much prefer them on some good risers over flats. You get better leverage over them for pumping, and gripping.

i was gonna say no but i think you are right considering you did it, but for normal drop through no
