I'm leaning more towards the drops between the trucks styles. I've got the Theory, the Sacrifice, the Cheesegrater, and Chaisy, so far on the decks to review. Hoping for a chance to add the Foster Hydra to the mix.
So far my notes are
Prism Theory
has a big stance platform and is useful if you move your feet around.
the drop pocket on the front of the theory feels a bit to far from the trucks to get the optimal steering for whipping into slides but feels very nice sideways.
back concave is great for referencing toesides with the little bumps.
Pantheon Sacrifice
pretty ideal concave for freeriding
smaller width and tighter stance focused concave makes for no need to move feet around your always right where you wanna be.
mellow concave mixed with narrow width feel very ergonomic.
never need to move feet when gearing up for big squats slides, toesides, 180's, switch slides, or hands down drifts.
getting low on this deck feels incredible.
light weight and very fun.
Landyachtz Cheesegrater
This deck as very nimble and stiff construction allowing to finesse slides with very minimal resistance.
w concave is intense and great for standup Freeride but is a pain for tucking.
trucks mount very close to microdrops so is exceptionally nimble.
hollow tech construction is great and really ups the rigidity and light weight.
concave can be hard to find since it's drops are more mellow.
Pantheon Chaisy
Flows in and out of concave so feels very organic.
slides like a drop deck, performs like a racing deck,
hard to hold out slides on symmetrical setups due to width and directional concave.
light and rigid great for snappy slides in steep terrain.
