The Sector 9 Portal is great for downhill, freeriding, cruising, and carving. Although I'm a touch prejudice towards drop throughs don't stray away from them, I just prefer top mounts (which this board can be topmounted still) The only difference is a drop through will keep you lower to the ground for more stability at higher speeds, and make it easier to break into slides but will reduce overall traction on the board, making cornering a touch harder. Also a drop through will make pushing twice as easy due to the lower center of gravity.
This board comes with Sector 9 wheels, greaseball bearings, and gullwing trucks. If you plan on downhill or freeriding I suggest purchasing a higher durometer wheel simply because the sector 9's can be hard to break in and will wear quickly because they're so soft. But for cruising and carving nothing beats them. I recommend this board to anyone looking for a great overall board for an awesome price, as most drop through mounted boards these days are running 250+ dollars, this is just as good for about $80 less.
