Personal preference, the killswitch, ive ridden both and the killswitch to me is far better, prefer the contruction of it and also the pleasure dome concave is rad!! i would get the killswitch, with whatever trucks and wheels you want.

Yeh that would be fine, but since you are mainly wanting it for dh i would go top mount, but yer with the dropthrough you do have more things to play around with because you can top mountit yourself if you feel like it. But your choice man both are great.

Don't forget to check out the aussie stuff!

Glyde has some awesome boards

Team Monkey Pig has some good ones, not sure if those boards are for sale to public yet though?

and as stated before, Early has some rad boards.

If you can, get your feet on some of the different boards out there, any stiff deck will bbe stable fast, it depends on your ability and personal feel for it, top mount/drop through/drop down:w cave, deep tub ect, you get my point!

I sold my drop speed because I used my killswitch for everything i needed to do. That being said, the drop speed is still an awesome board for freeride and downhill, but imo, i feel much more stable on a topmount than a drop thru. Its all personal preference, but as Jayden said, go for the killswitch topmount.

Drop thru doesnt necessarily mean more stability. I feel twitchy on a drop thru board.
