Longboards have definitely come a long way as now there are boards that cater to every style of riding whether you are into sliding, downhilling on drop-thrus or just cruising with a camber.
Dropthru: A style of longboard where there are truck cutouts in the deck and the board itself is dropped through so the trucks become reverse mounted with the base of the truck mounted on the longboard deck as oppose to under it.
Longboards setup for sliding often have harder wheels higher in durometer so they glide easily as oppose to gripping to the road.
