Lowrider Longboard Shape Guide

 Lowrider Longboard

Our lowrider shape is perfect for high-speed, downhill longboarding. It combines the lowered platform of a drop-down deck with the truck mounting of a drop through. Yocaher lowrider decks are 9 plies of maple with medium concave and only a slight flex. The result is the lowest possible ride with incredible stability at the fastest of speeds.

 The Deets:

  • Deck Size: 40.75" Long x 9.5" Wide 
  • Wheel Base: 32"
  • Construction: 9-Ply Maple
  • Concave: Medium
  • Flex: Low
  • Trucks: 9.675 HD7 Heavy Duty Trucks, 180mm Hanger, Aluminum Alloy
  • ABEC 7 Chrome Bearings

Rather than screwing your hardware through the mounting holes to attach the trucks, drop-thru decks have cut-outs in the nose and tail so you can drop your trucks through it and attach on each sides. This mounting style provides more stability compared to a traditional top mount, but the board is less responsive. Overall, a great great for cruising!

Truck Mount Deckwheels

 

While the lowrider is intended for experienced downhill riders, it is also a capable freeride shape. Placing the rider’s weight more inline with the axles allows the lowrider shape to break into slides easier than most top-mounted decks. Its ample cutaways also eliminate the possibility of wheel bite. If you are looking to lay down some thane, or you just like to predrift into the apex, the lowrider is the shape for you.
