  • The benefit of Dropthrough deck designs is that the lower centre of gravity gives you stability at speed and allows you to exert more sideways force through the wheels resulting in more control.
  • The traditional dropthrough design is aimed at downhill skating. Racing, slalom, bombing hills and carving. The Vault 40” brings a modern innovative spin to the classic Dropthrough deck by throwing in a slight upturn in the nose and a killer concave to lock your feet into.
  • The Dropthrough is designed to be the ultimate free ride board and the wedge shape allows for huge wheels with no bite to carve those hills and pavements.
  • The result is an awesome all-round performer that gives you the stability and speed performance of a specialist downhill longboard with the turning ability of a carver longboard.

SPECIFICATIONS:


• 9 Ply Canadian Maple Dropthrough Deck

• Wide Point 9.5” / 240mm

My dad got this board for me yesterday. I rode it all of yesterday, and all of today. This board is awesome for beginners. Im already bombing massive hills and carving it up. Great for downhill/carving. Im really happy with this board.

This is a great board for the price. It is fast and smooth and the big wheels roll over everything. Sits low to the ground, so it is easy to ride and very stable.

Overall it's very good I love riding it. there was black texter covering scratch marks on the side and the cutting out around the drop through trucks is a bit dodgy. but over all its an awsome ride.

Received the board today in perfect condition from very fast delivery. Best customer service I've experienced in years, thoughtful, friendly and very easy to talk to. The board is one of the best boards I have ridden, the only reason that stopped my friends from buying also is the skepticism from such low prices. However have no doubt, as the quality put into this board will amaze you. Thank you Express Skates.

ive had this board about a month now and it only gets better :D my friend bought the fibremix and mine turns so sharp it's amazing. i had none of the scratches or whatever people are talking about arrived in perfect condition. the up slanted nose makes nose manuals and shuvits really easy and this was a great board for me to transition from normal skateboarding. the trucks are sturdy and turn well and the wheels are grippy but i can still slide on them. best longboard ive ridden, id recommend it to all my friends.

I bought a longboard for my son and called Skateboard express to find out how long it would take to come, I had to leave a message and was very surprised to get a call back that day giving me the information I needed. Many thanks and I will be using you again and have recommended you to several people already .

Being a beginner I wanted a stable board. This is perfect for me. Very fast, even on low grade slopes, very stable, the raised edges give you amazing control. It turns really short for a longboard. It happily swallows bitumen imperfections, potholes and road gravel. I am now trying to pull out a Cliff Coleman, being a 42 years of age beginner!!!!! :)

Was concerned about quality when first arrived as the bolt holes for front truck are slightly askew, the cutouts were done by someone with shaky hands and the bottom layer of ply is cracked around every nut underneath.
HOWEVER none of this has mattered AT ALL. This board is extremely fun when carving and sliding. Have only taken it up to 35kpm but it felt very stable. Puts up with a beating too.
Definitely recommend for the price!

This is board is designed for speed. If you want to escape the death wobbles and do some really hard power sliding, this is your longboard. Adorn protective apparel!
I modified it just a tad as the bolts had very small washers on the bottom. This allowed the back trucks to grown in slides.
Its not reasonable to compare the Dervish or an Apex 37 to this board. Its not a symmetrical plan and its not ment to pop. Its built for speed and it huggs the growned well.
Know what you want before you buy! This is a good board on hills but not for the driveway.
It wouldn't be my only board.#:)

Average quite heavy board but great for down hill and beginners but wldnt recommend it as a curving board. Good value but cannot compare to my Loaded Dervish or Apex 37's.

Average quality board , very heavy . Cutouts for trucks colored in with black texta just as other small marks on the deck were. Arrived scratched underneath from being poorly packaged in bubble wrap and the other deck I bought rubbed against it with its Grip tape and scratched it. You get what you pay for !! keep that in mind when buying . I dont think I would be the only complaint , so I guess next time I look this comment will be removed.

Just getting into longboarding, so I can't compare this board to past experiences. I'm loving the board though; can go(!!!), handles well and the service was fantastic.

I needed a downhill board that I could afford with good performance. For a decent price I got the dropthrough which is strong, fast and stable. The ride is smooth, the deck is tough and gives great handling and stability at speed. At low speeds it is difficult to turn, but this board is built to go rather quick. This longboard is perfect for anyone who wants to do some downhill or get from A to B quickly.

Pretty stoked with this board, delivery was fast and made it the day before christmas. I like how low it is, makes it easy to push, really chilled balance as well. she turns fine but you can kick it up a notch by loosening trucks at the expense of stability. Great for its price. beautiful on some smooth hills by night, just no effort and perfect speed

Wow - great board. This is my 4th longboard (second from skateboard Express) and by far the best. It's low, fast and stable. If I could only own one board this would be it. Unreal price and service also. Highly recomend. +++

Awesome board. I have a loaded dervish also, this is a very close second. Loosen the trucks a little and this board rips it. Great value and great board

I've had this board now for about a month and I'm loving it. It's fast and carves surprisingly well for its size.

hey, i'm gonna get a longboard soon but i was wondering what board and size is good for someone who is around 14 yrs old....

Basically all the boards would suit someone 14 years old. You have to decide what style of longboarding you want to do. The shorter boards, around say 33", are less stable at speed but light to carry around. Then you have the medium boards say 33" to 40" - These boards are good all round boards and set up for general carving and cruising without being too long. The longer boards - 40" to 55" - are set up for a smoother cruising style of riding with wider turns and a soft, smooth controlled ride

is this board good for sliding or carving down steep hills and general use ?

yes, this is exactly what this board is good for.

I'm 90KGs, will this board be ok for my weight ?

Yes, this is a 9-ply Canadian maple deck, so you'll be fine and it can handle more than that.

I gather that this board is very stable and carveable, however how does it handle rougher surfaces ? As it doesn't have a kick, does this mean i won't be able to get it up gutters/driveways etc ?

The Dropthrough is set up more for downhill longboarding and not really suitable for jumping gutters etc. A shorter board with a kicktail would be more suitable.
