The YOCAHER Drop Through is a longboard that is designed for speed. There are many features that are included in this longboard that are designed to make downhill riding, carving, sliding and turning a lot easier. For example, the board has a drop down design. The deck is made with 9 ply superhard Canadian Maple.
Both of these features add to the stability of the board and the security that the rider will feel as they are traveling at faster speeds. A thicker deck means that the deck will have less flex. This is exactly what a rider is going to want as they are going downhill at speeds in excess of 35 miles an hour.
Additionally, the drop down design means that the rider is going to be lower to the floor. There are two advantages that come from this design. First, the rider has a lower center of gravity. So it is going to be easier for them to stay on top of the board. It will be a lot harder for them to fall off of it, especially if they are in a full crouch.
Second, the thickness of the board means that the rider is going to feel secure. They are not going to have to worry that if they hit a bump or if they need to adjust their weight that the deck is going to break underneath them. The more secure a rider feels on the board, the more confidence they will have to fully express themselves as they are riding. This board has been proven to withstand weights upward of 300 pounds.
Another benefit of the drop through design is that it makes pushing a lot easier, offers more stability in turns and makes sliding in order to stop require less effort. The only trade-off that the drop through design offers is slower turning.
The YOCAHER Drop Through Complete Longboard has a cutout in the deck. This allows for maximum wheel clearance. Also, this board is bidirectional. This means that an individual can ride the board regular or switch if they choose. They will experience no difference in the performance of the board. Additionally, this design completely and totally eliminates the possibility of wheel bite. And as everyone knows, wheel bite often leads to road rash. So, not worrying about wheel bite is a plus.
The concave, or the curve that goes across the width of the deck, is perfect for helping the rider to lock their feet into position. It also affects the way that the board reacts to the force that your feet exert when you are riding. All of these things add to the control and stability you will have.
So, are you ready to have fun? Are you ready to put your courage to the test and tackle the biggest hill in your area? If so, it would be a good idea to give a second look at the YOCAHER Drop Through Longboard.
