The Drop Hammer is a light and easy carving board making it a great option for anyone looking to carve down a mellow hill, get rad on their way to class, or just get out for an afternoon rip with their friends. The deck features drop-through mounting, a symmetrical shape, and large wheel cut-outs, creating the perfect platform for a low stable center of gravity and the ability to run larger wheels. The result is a board that is ideal for pushing long distances and commuting while being able to carve hills with grace and confidence. The subtle and effective concave and medium flex makes the Drop Hammer a perfect board for an introduction into freeriding and carving on bigger hills.
Measuring 36.5” long and 10” wide, the Drop hammer is a symmetrical longboard with drop-through mounted trucks. We set the Drop Hammer up with Gen 6 180mm 50 degree trucks for maximum turning and super deep carves. These trucks paired with 70mm 78a Supreme Hawgs wheels make the perfect match for roll speed, comfort, grip and enough slip to get you into sliding if that’s your goal. We matched this deck with a striking graphic courtesy of artist Matt Kehler.

What makes the Drop Hammer an ideal longboard for carving and commuting?
The Drop Hammer is designed for smooth, stable carving, making it perfect for downhill runs and commuting. Its drop-through mounting creates a low center of gravity for better stability, allowing for controlled turns and a more comfortable ride. The large wheel cut-outs also give you the option to use larger wheels, ensuring a smooth ride over various terrains.
How do the Gen 6 180mm 50° trucks and 70mm Supreme Hawgs wheels enhance the performance of the Drop Hammer?
The Gen 6 180mm 50° trucks offer precise turning and deep carving capabilities, allowing the rider to navigate tight turns with ease. Paired with the 70mm Supreme Hawgs wheels, which provide a balance of grip and slip, they ensure high roll speed and comfort on smooth and rough terrain alike. This combination gives you the perfect setup for carving, cruising, and even starting to slide.
What features of the Drop Hammer make it suitable for beginners looking to get into freeriding and carving on bigger hills?
The Drop Hammer’s symmetrical shape and subtle concave make it easy for beginners to get comfortable with carving and freeriding. The medium flex adds forgiveness, ensuring a smooth ride even on larger hills, while the drop-through trucks lower the rider’s center of gravity for better control. These features work together to provide a stable yet responsive platform for those new to downhill riding.
