consider the 9two5 if your looking at the dropspeed, was originally going to be a new and improved drop seed when they decided it was different enough that they should keep both :)
oh for a look check out mike mcgoldrick city freeriding on youtube. the dropspeed that is.

9two5 here. Love it, great board. 8-)
The "gas pedals" are a good idea, but they are the first bits to wear out after you've stacked up a few times...

the 9two5 fits all standard trucks, not just bears. the drop speed was the one i thought had mounting problems :S

yeah I've read that sooo many times. I don't know where this sh*t started :-/
If you look up on Silverfish it seems to me that people have been mounting a good variety of trucks on that deck without problems... btw I have the Bears 852 they look very good on the board and feel sweet under my feet :-)

the drop speed good but they aren't the most durable boards

i have a dropspeed, they are probably the most under-rated landyachtz board out. i prefer it over a 9two5 for freeride and for downhill it works a treat. only problem with it is that the nose and tail are super easy to damage, both my ends chipped badly so i had to saw them off, the baseplate is still on properly which is good.

yeah one of the guys i skate with a fair bit has one and i still prefer my drop speed over it, its just my opinion. the 9two5 is really a good board and would probably be my second preferance to the drop speed anyway.
