Topmount Mounting Options: The ThreeSix topmount has 24 different wheelbase combinations available to fine tune the deck's response and handling. "Wheelbase" is the distance between the front and rear axles of your longboard. Although, it's actually measured between the inside bolts on the trucks when reading the spec sheet of a longboard.

• A longer wheelbase is stable at high speeds due to the deck having a larger turning radius. This is good for pushing long distances and fast freeride.

• A shorter overall wheelbase gives the board a tighter turning radius and is better for carving, adds agility, and offers more grip. This also gives the deck a more solid feel with less flex for heavier riders.

Double Drop Mounting Options: The ThreeSix double drop has a fixed wheelbase, but allows the trucks to be top mounted or dropped through the deck:

• When top mounted, you will have more leverage over the trucks for carving and throwing out slides, more ground clearance, more wheel/turn clearance. This is the way to go if you want lots of turn and the ability to run big wheels with lots of clearance. It’s more prone to tipping over and can be less stable in the center than a drop deck setup when first learning to slide.

• When dropped through, the deck is super low and very stable. The truck leverage and ride height are reduced and wheel clearance is reduced. This is great for long distance and fast runs, but can still be fun for carving due to the large about of wheel clearance still available even when the deck is lowered.

Mini Mounting Options: The ThreeSix mini deck has over 20 wheelbase options that allow the trucks to be flat mounted like a traditional street/cruiser deck or tail mounted slalom-style like a downhill/pumping deck:

• When flat mounted, you will have more tail hanging over the back of the trucks for ollies, manuals, park/pool riding, hopping up curbs, etc. This position is great for TKP (street) trucks and makes the setup more lively at low speeds. This is the way to go if you want to hop on/off of everything, cruise around town, campus, the neighborhood, or the local bowl!

• When tail mounted, you will need a 15° wedge and longer bolts (check out the tail wedge kit on the shop page!) to level the rear truck out. Tail mounting really brings out the true potential of the ThreeSix mini deck. Tail mounting the rear truck allows you to extend the wheelbase length into downhill/speed territory. You can really carve/pump/corner/drift hard with your rear foot on the tail pocket and right over the truck bolts. It makes the deck super stable and adds power to your carves/pumps, plus you can still hop up on curbs with it!

• Bonus option: the split mount! You can mount the rear truck right on the tail radius by mounting it in the middle of the flat and tail mount options. This can give you the best of both worlds, but requires some janky wedge/spacer combos. Have fun!

Adjusting the front truck position on any setup to a shorter wheelbase position will place more weight over the truck. This is recommended in almost every situation as it gives the rider more controllable slides, more stability at high speeds, and more leverage over the trucks for carving.

Adjusting the rear truck position on any setup to a shorter wheelbase will allow you to trade high speed stability for more grip, more agility, quicker slide initiation and hookup, as well as a more solid feel.
