This is, without a doubt, the best review you have ever uploaded. Fantastic work, I can tell this took a long time to edit. Btw I love the tightrope feel of my drop through, it makes initiating speed checks very easy and carving super lively.
Thanks man! Really hoping I can keep it up with this quality/production over the next few months. Took a couple of hours to put it all together, but no biggie. To each their own haha. What drop through you got?
Downhill254 - Kenyan Longboarding I recently purchased a used Pantheon Trip, I have it on 150mm Paris with venom 81/85 symmetric. Super lively and drifty on orange Kegels, but I’m eyeing up the LDP Alphas so I can get back to DH on the Kegels. The price is offputting though
@@owencampbell777 Get them. Alphas are very good wheels. They're gonna be faster than the Kegels, accelerate much better, and won't feel as sluggish. If you want to roll for longer/faster, def worth the investment.
@@owencampbell777 Naah, do the opposite. Kegels are more fun for DH. Alphas feel like you have to be focused to skate em well. Kinda scary tbh. Kegels are very forgiving and easy to skate. Worth switching around tho and finding out for yourself
Don't know why you have this less amount of subscribers but no doubt keep pushing out these popular boards reviews and you'll be big soon. Fire video man. I'm a beginner and have a 38 drop cat, and thinking of switching to 33. Just for the compact size and that I can take it to more places easily, attached to my backpack. My issue is that I still want to be able to go fast and bomb some medium - deep hills. I can go pretty well on the 38, but I hope that won't be sacrificed on the 33. If anyone could help out it'd me great.
Thanks for the kind words man, gonna work towards putting out more videos for sure. . I'd say the 33 can handle hills a bit but won't be as stable as the 38. If you want to get as much stability out of it you'll have to make some mods. Buy a 40* Bear baseplate for the back truck and get some aftermarket bushings. It will help make it more stable whilst still being as turny. You're gonna hacve to play around with some bushings to get it to feel perfect.
Another great review - the best review online for this longboard and I ended up getting the 38 Drop Cat after watching your video a couple times. I really enjoy all your videos and your written reviews too, keep up the great work!
great review. on the ease of pushing and breaking on drop thru/ drop decks, i think its due to the fact you have to bend your standing leg less to reach the ground. balancing on a single bent leg takes a bunch of energy in your core, too.
Hey, loved this review. I’m looking at this as in intro board for just carving. You covered everything I wanted to know and gave some tips for changes later. You’re replies to the comments helped answered my other questions too. Thanks man!
Great review, thanks. I got the 38 version with 50’ trucks and flipped the hangers to get rid of the twitchiness. I also swapped the stock 90a cones for softer venoms (87 back, 85 front) and kept the barrels. It became much more easier to control on higher speeds with enough maneuverability for cruising.
Yup, sounds good. I didn't like venoms when I tried them, but I always used super soft bushings. Might try your combo next time. It might work. Cheers!
Hello, recently discovered your videos. Love the videos. I'm looking to get my first board. Between the Drop Cat 33 and Drop hammer. Mainly cruise neighborhoods with little mellow hills with friends. Any suggestion out of the two? or any other board ? I'm also only 5'6" with not so wide stance. Thank you!

Good review. I just ordered a Lush Longboards drop-through so I didn't need to know about this board but I still feel like I learned a lot about longboards in general from this video.
Great review bro. I picked up the 33. Quick question, I removed the bottom cupping from the board and I feel like its smoother. In the video you have the bigger bushing adjusted to the bottom with no cupping and the smaller one on top. Stock came with the bigger bushing on the boardside and smaller on the bottom. I maybe wrong, can you confirm how its suppose to be when removing the cupping? Also, what setup are you riding on now? Thanks!
Yeah that works too! If you remove the cupped washer boardside, it runs ok. But runs best with a washer boardside. Im primarily riding the drop hammer now. My Drop cat 33 broke (liong story). It's very comfortable. I have the stock trucks on it with stock bushings.
I'm going to setup this board up with 130mm Paris standard kingpin trucks and 63mm fatty hawgs. I'm thinking wheel bite won't be an issue and the wheels won't stick out past the board.
Do you prefer the Caliber III 50 raked or Bear gen 6 with the 38 inch drop cat? I just ordered the deck alone cause I saw a sale and I'm trying to decide on the trucks to get for it... Any insights are much appreciated. You make super helpful content btw. Keep it up bro👍
Yes I just received today and took it for a ride to the corner store for some things, it totally exceeding my expectations! I haven’t rode in a few years and hoping back in this drop cat was like if I never stopped super flexy comfortable footing and the pushing was just awesome less push less exhaustion totally recommend this board to anyone new or starting back up again and I totally back up your review bro!!! 🤙🏽
hey bro i’m thinking of buying one because my skateboard hurts my shins because of how much i need to push, do you think this board goes along distance without pushing so much ?
Hey bro, yeah this is a good board for pushing longer distance. Wheels will roll for much longer (and faster and over most terrain) than normal skateboard wheels :)
@@downhill254skate im deciding between this and a electric longboard but with the electrical one i won’t be able to do small tricks or so, what do you think i should get ? i want to cruise but do small tricks while not having to push as much
Do you think the tight-rope feeling was from the plug style bushings they use? And when you upgraded bushings, did you use the plug style on the bottom or just go standard barrel?
I just went barrel/barrel. I think the right rope feel was because of the barrel/cone and cupped washer combo. Quick to turn, but quick to stop turning. Soft barrels (with cupped washer roadside) allowed for a lot more articulation of the trucks. Turning was more gradual and the end of turn wasn't as sudden. . Also, plug barrels are so good man. Loving these trucks for DH on my Freedive.
@@downhill254skate awesome thanks so much for getting back to me man. Interested in them for sure. Seem really similar to Paris V3s in terms of the bushing seat and rake, but was thinking the plugged bushing setup board side will eliminate a lot of slop Paris trucks have.
Great 📹 🎥 !!!!!! Landyachtz sell the best longboard,cruisers,and skateboard decks on the market!!!!! Also you are correct with taller riders. I am 6'5 and I need a 40 + deck length.
Hey man, thanks for this amazing review. I'm feeling my dro cat 33 a bit unstable when turning on medium speeds too. Can you explain in more detail what you did to get better feedback from the trucks?
Hey, thanks for watching. I used soft double barrel bushings. With a softer barrel in the front truck. I use 85a hardcore barrels in front and 90a hardcore barrels in the back. Using soft barrels gives a smoother, controlled lean. Using a hard barrel in the back truck stiffens it up a little giving you more forward biased turning and stablity
@@downhill254skate Thanks! You also took out a piece from the original bushings, didn't you? Also, would you recommend changing the wheels for learning how to slide? I feel these are very grippy.
@@rodrigodittborn952 You can change them to round lipped wheels for an easier time, but plow kings actually slide quite easily. Especially on that setup. Give it a try before you buy anything else
My Man, first of all, I really like your videos a lot. I´m 38 years now and my 10 year old daughter wants to learn skating. As a Teen i skated only to school or normal distances. Except for an Ollie there were no tricks in my skating... but thats 20 years ago. I watched your review on the Tugboat, the Ripper, and the dropcat33 from landyachtz. Now for my Question: Which one of these 3 Boards whould you recommend for an adult who wants to skate again? From a first look and your reviews i like all the board i just mentionend. I want to skate with my daughter, just cruising to be honest, an maybe some simple tricks. (btw, she wants a regular Skateboard, but maybe she is into langboarding too, we dont know yet =). Greetz from Germany
Hello, and congratulations for your good review. I wonder if this drop cat is good for me. I'm a beginner (finally I know how to roll, move forward with carving and I have quite a good sense of balance), I recently bought a dinghy blunt. My goal was to ride with something fun around town, cruiser chill, with something maneuverable. (I am 1m80 tall, weigh 77kg, and wear a size 45) Only the small 60mm wheels bother me, I have to be very attentive to the slightest pebble or small hole in the road. I rode stationary on drop cats in the store, and I really liked the rocker (but I didn't ride it). Someone sells used (and is put to exchange) his drop cat 33 against my dinghy. But I have questions. -Will the platform be too small? (I saw that the drop cat 38 had about the same surface area as the dinghy for the feet, so the 33 would be smaller!) I figured that the 38 would be better but on the other hand I think that the 33 can be very nice and better for cruising around town, I don't know. -If I only have drop 33, will it bother me because it won't be possible to climb sidewalks without a quicktail? Shouldn't I rather wait to find a cheap used drop cat 38 and keep my dinghy, and put bigger wheels (65 or 69mm for example)? Either I exchange my dinghy against the drop cat 33, or I keep it and I put bigger wheels while waiting to buy a drop cat 38 in addition? (Oh, and I don't know if you can answer that sincerely since you're sponsored by landyachtz, but I can also have a tan tien not too expensive, I can also keep the dinghy, put big wheels, and maybe get a tan tien, but I don't know if it's as pleasant as the drop cat since it has no rocker, on the other hand it has a kicktail which can allow you to climb the sidewalks?)
hey i have a similar board and its great. only thing is at higher speeds turning sometimes the back of the board slips out suddenly. i have grippy wheels so guess the problem is because my stance isnt wide enough? -theres not enough weight on the back of the board? a bit scary. i suck at long boards i think
Excellent review. Was about to buy it, but I am 6 feet tall and 85 kg, probably not suitable according to your suggestions. Is there a bigger drop cat board for me?
You're just gonna have to buy direct from the website :( In Kenya, I have access to freight forwarders who give me great rates on shipping to bring products here. Check out Aircargo Kenya, they may be able to sort you out
So I purchased it, but while trying to learn the coleman slide, I found it was difficult to make my rear foot flat. Should I put it on the baseplate of just shift my weight more
do you think pairing this board with 40 degree trucks will reduce the tight rope feel? having 50 degree trucks with the extra rocker makes it almost like 57 degrees. i may be wrong though, just a thought
@@downhill254skate I’ve used the 33 drop cat a bunch now and I’m enjoying it a bunch! Still very good quality and I’ve been using it nonstop for the past 2 months. I can even take a good sized hill with it. Should I switch out the wheels if I’m going to learn how to slide on it?
Great review man. One thing I’m curious about is what size board I should get because there is a drop cat 33 and drop cat 38. I’m 5’11 and I wear a size 12 so I’m wondering what you think would fit best.
@@downhill254skate would the 38 also be quick turning? Because I honestly wouldn’t want something that’s sluggish as u said in the video for bigger boards
@@downhill254skate Thanks for fast reply. My daughter wants to buy a drop cat but wants to use 165mm Paris V3’s that we have sitting here so was just wondering if it was going to work or not.
@@vincentngo9494 The drop cat isn't the best for anything speedy. The drop hammer is ok for cruising, it won't be as good as the Drop cat. Kinda hard to find a board that does it all ... but the Drop Hammer would suit you best
I haven't been on a board in about 15 years when I was I rode a normal board so I don't have any experience with longboards. I'm 6'1", 220lbs, and have a 13 US shoe size. Would you suggest the 38 or the 33? I'll eventually get to some hills, but nothing crazy. I mainly just plan to have a chill cruise. 30mph or less at max. or is there another board you would suggest? I've been on reddit asking and several people to me to check you out.
I'd suggest going with the 38! I'm happy loads of people said to check my out. Yeah go with the 38 and maybe get aftermarket bushings, would be best for your weight
Another question. Should I replace both bushings on each truck? For instance, do I need one cylindrical bushing and one cone on top, or are two cylindrical bushes per truck okay? Thanks!
@@99wessman yup! It can be cylindrical (or barrels as most skaters call them). Mine are all cylindrical. Running 87a Infront and 93a in the back hardcore barrels. It feels amazing!
@@downhill254skate oh sweet! Thanks so much. You’ve made me buy this exact model. Appreciate all the hard work. Do you recommend the same bushings for a beginner like myself?
In the clips you showed, was that downhill? I'm currently looking for a board that will cruise further/faster than my current Amazon board so I'm trying to guage how far/fast you were going. Thanks!
Hi, may I ask the standing platform is exactly 20" or is it more like 22-22.5 inches. Is it possible for you to measure it? Would really appreciate that. Thank you!
@@downhill254skate But you mentioned 5ft 8 to 5ft 10, the 33 would fit fine??? I ride a Surfskate and my stance is approximately 24", understand that the nose and tail truck area is about 7 inches on each... which makes the total standing board about 19-20"?
What board shouldi buy for crusing The landyachtz drop cat 33 or the dinghy turbo flight. I am beiginner and I want aboard to skate place to place 2-20 minute in roads and small side walks sometimes with sharp turns. Help?
My gf has this board with Paris trucks. It’s really stable at high speed but it does require a bit more effort to turn. I’m 6 ft and don’t recommend this board for someone my size. It’s really narrow and you can’t get a wide stance on it

yessss
do you think pairing this board with 40 degree trucks will reduce the tight rope feel? having 50 degree trucks with the extra rocker makes it almost like 57 degrees. i may be wrong though, just a thought
Yeah it solves it. I was riding it with 42.5/30 Ronin's at one point and it felt pretty damn great. I'd really recommend you try it 40/40
Do the dropcat complete comes with shockpads and washers? If no, do I need to get them to make my deck last longer? Thank you for the review!
No shockpads, no washers. I'd suggest some washers for the bolts, but not super needed
@@downhill254skate I see, I am 6f7 ( i know I'm tall), is the dropcat 38 tall enough or I should go for something longer like the switchblade 40?
@@ToXiPCGaming they're about the same size, just go for the one you like.
Is there a difference between the two drop cats? The seeker and the illumination. The white one and the green one.
If they're both the 33inch, then only the design is different
@@downhill254skate I’m getting it! I’ll let you know my thoughts in a few day!
Edit: the seeker to be exact
@@downhill254skate I got he board! I only went on it for a minute because it’s night time but it seems a little more stiff than I thought 🤔
@@andrewbernier4676 How much do you weigh? I'm about 71kg/155lbs now. Board isn't super flexy but has enough give to cushion the ride
@@downhill254skate I’ve used the 33 drop cat a bunch now and I’m enjoying it a bunch! Still very good quality and I’ve been using it nonstop for the past 2 months. I can even take a good sized hill with it. Should I switch out the wheels if I’m going to learn how to slide on it?
What company bushings and name are those on the board (the white and green ones)
Hardcore barrel bushings. 87a and 93a is what I use these days. 85 and 90a are what are in the video
@@downhill254skate I am 135 pounds so you think 85a and 88a would be good (I don’t do to much downhill and like to carve)
@@marcovicidomini4749 85/90a is best
Great review man. One thing I’m curious about is what size board I should get because there is a drop cat 33 and drop cat 38. I’m 5’11 and I wear a size 12 so I’m wondering what you think would fit best.
38 is the safest choice. Thanks for watching
@@downhill254skate would the 38 also be quick turning? Because I honestly wouldn’t want something that’s sluggish as u said in the video for bigger boards
@@moswag2431 It should turn quickly enough. Because you're taller, the 33 in might be a bit cramped.
@@downhill254skate ok thank you for clearing that up
Do you think orangatang bushings would work with this board, and which ones
You'd have to figure out the duro for yourself according to your weight. But you can't go wron with the softest infront and harderst in the back.
Any idea if 165mm trucks would fit with the standard size wheels without wheel bite?
Yeah, should work. Might get bite. Used 165mm Ronin's without much issue
@@downhill254skate Thanks for fast reply. My daughter wants to buy a drop cat but wants to use 165mm Paris V3’s that we have sitting here so was just wondering if it was going to work or not.
@@Alan_27ATH should be alright :)
Is the standing platform still more spacious length wise than the original Dinghy?
yes
@@downhill254skatetysm for the videos and for answering my question just ordered it rn i cant waaaaaaaiiiit!!!
What do you recommend, the Drop Cat or the Drop Hammer?
Depends on the time of riding you want to do
@@downhill254skate Mainly just cruising around the neighborhood, maybe go down some slight hills and carve alittle?
@@vincentngo9494 The drop cat isn't the best for anything speedy. The drop hammer is ok for cruising, it won't be as good as the Drop cat. Kinda hard to find a board that does it all ... but the Drop Hammer would suit you best
I haven't been on a board in about 15 years when I was I rode a normal board so I don't have any experience with longboards. I'm 6'1", 220lbs, and have a 13 US shoe size. Would you suggest the 38 or the 33? I'll eventually get to some hills, but nothing crazy. I mainly just plan to have a chill cruise. 30mph or less at max. or is there another board you would suggest? I've been on reddit asking and several people to me to check you out.
I'd suggest going with the 38! I'm happy loads of people said to check my out. Yeah go with the 38 and maybe get aftermarket bushings, would be best for your weight
Another question. Should I replace both bushings on each truck? For instance, do I need one cylindrical bushing and one cone on top, or are two cylindrical bushes per truck okay? Thanks!
Yes, you should replace all. You might be ok replacing just one, but for best results replace all
@@downhill254skate so it doesn’t matter if one is cone shaped? The entire board can just have cylindrical? Thanks for your speedy reply!
@@99wessman yup! It can be cylindrical (or barrels as most skaters call them). Mine are all cylindrical. Running 87a Infront and 93a in the back hardcore barrels. It feels amazing!
@@downhill254skate thanks man! You’ve taught me so much! Just made a new life longer rider
Is this board good for 5'6”
Yup!
Do you think you can fit venom cannibals (76mm) on it?
Yes ... probably
There's another RUclipsr running a 33 Drop Cat with 85 mm Caguama wheels.
Great review, thanks!
Do you recommend any brand of hardcore bushings? Or is that the brand itself
the brand itself. right know I have 90a HC bushings in front and 93a HC in the back truck. Loving it!
@@downhill254skate oh sweet! Thanks so much. You’ve made me buy this exact model. Appreciate all the hard work. Do you recommend the same bushings for a beginner like myself?
@@99wessman Yes! These exact bushings should work well for you.
@@downhill254skate thank you! You’re the best!
if graphic gets dirty get the black version
Thank you. Very amazing pack of infos.
In the clips you showed, was that downhill? I'm currently looking for a board that will cruise further/faster than my current Amazon board so I'm trying to guage how far/fast you were going. Thanks!
It was a mix of downhill and flat paths. This board will certainly cruise faster and further than most amazon boards
@@downhill254skate Awesome thanks, that's super helpful!!! Now I just have to wait till it's back in stock 😂
Hi, may I ask the standing platform is exactly 20" or is it more like 22-22.5 inches. Is it possible for you to measure it? Would really appreciate that. Thank you!
About 20
@@downhill254skate Oh... was told it was 56cm which is 22 inches... alright! Thank you !
For a beginner, would you recommend the Drop Cat 33 or the Drop Hammer?
Should be Drop Cat 38 vs Drop Hammer. Honestly both great boards so go or what catches your eye the most
@@downhill254skate would you say the 38 would be better suited for a beginner as opposed to the 33? and why would this be. thx
@@connorlarkin2148 33 if you're small, 38 if you're over like 5ft 8
@@downhill254skate I see. Thank you!
@@downhill254skate But you mentioned 5ft 8 to 5ft 10, the 33 would fit fine??? I ride a Surfskate and my stance is approximately 24", understand that the nose and tail truck area is about 7 inches on each... which makes the total standing board about 19-20"?
I’m thinking about getting the drop cat 38 seeker. I’m around 6”1, would this been a good board
Get the 38, you're too tall for the 33 :)
@@downhill254skate sick that’s what I bought!!!
I have 187 cm Growth and foot 11, 5". I plans to buy this Board. Will this be good or look bigest drop Cat 38"?
You're quite tall. I think the 38 would be a better fit
@@downhill254skate Thank you very much for your quick response😊. Best for You👍😎
@@downhill254skate I bought drop Cat 38 and it was a good choice! 😊 On a longer board it stands more stable👍😊 Thank you 👍
@@mateusz.nester stoked you're happy with it :)
Thank you for a great review! Considering to buy it but would it work for heavy rider (~100 kg)? ;)
My friend is 90kg+ and comfortably rode the 33inch. Should be ok!
Solid review. Thanks for that 👍😎🇦🇺
What board shouldi buy for crusing The landyachtz drop cat 33 or the dinghy turbo flight. I am beiginner and I want aboard to skate place to place 2-20 minute in roads and small side walks sometimes with sharp turns.
Help?
The turning with the drop cat is good?
Either the drop cat or the Landyachtz ripper. Go for the ripper if you think you'd need kicktail.
@@downhill254skateand the carving and pumping with the drop cat 33 is good.
the board is fast?
@@itamarbeilin8448 you can't pump on the drp cat well. You can carve well though. I think you can pump on the ripper
is it fast? and keep velocity once u pushed it?
Yes! The wheels roll really well and keep momentum well for their size
great review
Did u recommend it for downhill?
No
@@downhill254skate ok thanks , this is better ? Landyachtz Drop Hammer Black or what did u recommend me with 300 eu budget
@@kavxvm2028 that's another cruiser board. If you want to do downhill, get a downhill board. For example, the Freedive reef or cheesegrater
Is there a big difference between a 33 and a 35 or 38?
Yes. The 38 will be more stable than the 33. You will also have more room to stand on it. I think it would be more comfortable
@@downhill254skate hello, yes I have both and I don't ride 33 anymore, 38 is (for me) so much more confortable to ride ;)
@@julienmolliet5104 may I ask how tall your are?
@@HaswellCore 186cm, but the standing plateforme is really tiny for the length,
My gf has this board with Paris trucks. It’s really stable at high speed but it does require a bit more effort to turn. I’m 6 ft and don’t recommend this board for someone my size. It’s really narrow and you can’t get a wide stance on it
yes
good review
Thanks for watching! :)
You can get this board in different sizes. Mine is quite large.
Also Teal in colour and has a cool Aztec warrior.
show more action shots dude
will do
