    the name's good. The idea's too. But I would also consider a topmount since lots of people are making the switch recently

    Top mount you say... im sure that the dropped board could be made with out the truck hole for a top mount... and the template could also be filled out or changed too.

    Would you want a different camber or concave for a top mount? Im only guessing as I'm short and like to be close to the ground and have not hit a hill on a top mount for a very long time

    A bit of concave but not to much, the board will react better annyway. And I personally don't like camber. I like 'm flat or with rocker.

    i agree with basch on the camber. i would stay with flat or slightly rockered unless maybe you were going to put a sharp camber right by the rear truck to dewedge it? i prefer top mounts because they give me more room(every dropped or drop through i have ridden i felt cramped bombing) and allow me to have my feet right over or very close to the trucks which i think helps with traction.(kinda like slalom where you want to be right over the trucks) i like the hairpins concave but you might use the same depth with a narrower flat section in the middle and a little smoother transition.
    I\'ll go first...
