ADVANTAGES OF DROP THROUGH LONGBOARDS
Center of Gravity: Drop Through boards are lower by their very nature. That lowers the center of gravity making many things easier, especially for beginners.
Stability: One of the big advantages of a lower center of gravity is that stability is increased, especially in a straight line.
Easy pushing: It is not necessary to bend the leg that is on top of the board so much when pushing. This reduces the effort, making them perfect boards for long trips.
Easy sliding: A low center of gravity means easier sliding. That makes drop through boards perfect boards for freeride and slides, especially if you are a beginner.
Less wheelbite: Apart from some boards whose shape is poorly designed, drop through boards usually do not have wheelbite, that is, the wheel does not touch the board when turning.
