there are 3 white line boards.

the scud, the swallow tail and the drop through

 

the first two are top mounts with multiple mounting options the drop through only has one mounting option.

the boards them selves are just on 10 inches wide at their widest

 

the scud and swallow tails possible wheels bases are 27.5, 28, 28.5 and the swallow has one extra at 29 inch

I can't remember what the drop through's wheels base is I'm sure someone knows

all are good for downhill and freerideing.

 

this is all coming from a guy that is 6'2" and size 10 feet.

 

I have a proto scud that I have been using for downhill it has a little more flex and is a little shorter then the final version and I have taken it to about 85km and it was stable and locked in but still responsive and able to carve and drift.

the scud is a little shorter and is symmetrical, and the foot platform is a little more constricted as it tappers in at the back, the swallow has more wood at the back both can be ridden switch easily.

 

if you are going to be free riding it I would stick to a 70mm wheel as you will be able to run your trucks looser for drifting and deeper carving.

 

I run mine with risers, bear 852s and lime bigzigs and at the shortest wheelbase on a proto scud which is shorter then the final version this gives me a little tail to kick the board up with and do shovits on.

 

if you want to try out the board pm me and we can organize it.
