Landyachtz Drop Cat 33" cruiser (in depth) review 

awesome review bro. Heard about your sponsorship from landyatchz and I proud asf!!! keep shredding!!

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.

This is a very good review. Thank you I’m definitely getting this one :)

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!

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!

Christmas gift for my sister, she’s going to love it!

Best reviews, I like the in-depth research and testing.

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.

woah, you did an amazing job reviewing. I had trouble finding a review about the 33' version. But this one is amazing! good job, thanks a lot

Thanks for the review definitely made me more happy with my purchase just got bought yesterday can’t wait to ride it!!🤙🏽

great review man, very thorough

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.

And great reveiw. The best review about the drop cat 33 on youtube

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.

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.

woah thanks! covered everything i needed to know, getting one asap

Thanks mate, ive decided on the smaller sized based on your review!!

Great review mate

Solid review. Thanks for that 👍😎🇦🇺

Thank you. Very amazing pack of infos.

Excellent review. LY should send you all their board variants so you can put out more quality content.

Great review, thanks!

Excellent review of the longboard.

Thanks for your review, I decided to pick up this board due to your review and my trucks came so tight I could barley turn the board

Yeahhhh I'm getting this for Christmas

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!

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.

0:24 yeah, sure. A big part of it was getting free stuff, i'm sure ;) Good review. Thanks for sharing.

U should try one with ABCE9 bearings msee . Sema ku sclide

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?)

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

If you're interested in buying the Drop cat, pick it up from Stoked Ride shop here: stokedrideshop.com/search?q=drop%20cat&ref=llsdh3csi531&type=product You can also buy it from the Landyachtz website (landyachtz.com/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage%2Ccollection&q=drop%20cat*).

Sounds lien the one for me for the narrow path around here

great review

My current long board has zero flexibility and now I'm jealous. I wish mine was flexible. 😞

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!

stock bushings felt way too stiff for me. what bushings did you use (sorry if you already answered this)?

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👍

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?

Maybe a review on any moonshine board, maybe the sidekick?

Thank you for a great review! Considering to buy it but would it work for heavy rider (~100 kg)? ;)

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

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

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 really want Landyatchz boards here in Tanzania. Any idea how to get them here?

good review

U should do a review on a landyatchz drop hummer

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?

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!

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

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!

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'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.

if graphic gets dirty get the black version

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.

Do you think orangatang bushings would work with this board, and which ones

Tell landyachtz to make this same board, same dimensions, with the addition of double kicktail

Should I get the 33 or 38? I am not riding much on hills (mostly just cruising around my town) but I have size 13 shoes and am 6’2.

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!

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!

I’m thinking about getting the drop cat 38 seeker. I’m around 6”1, would this been a good board

Any idea if 165mm trucks would fit with the standard size wheels without wheel bite?

Just recently got a dinghy and enjoy it. Would you recommend the drop cat over the dinghy?

How does the drop carve compare to the drop cat 38? I’m a beginner and I can’t choose between the two.

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?

Is the standing platform still more spacious length wise than the original Dinghy?

Do you think you can fit venom cannibals (76mm) on it?

What company bushings and name are those on the board (the white and green ones)

is it fast? and keep velocity once u pushed it?

Do you recommend any brand of hardcore bushings? Or is that the brand itself

Would you recommend the Drop Cat Vibes?

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 ?

Is there a difference between the two drop cats? The seeker and the illumination. The white one and the green one.

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"?

What do you recommend, the Drop Cat or the Drop Hammer?

I got a black one and it is Canadian maple

For a beginner, would you recommend the Drop Cat 33 or the Drop Hammer?

Is this board good for 5'6”

When did u go super saiyan ?

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

Is there a big difference between a 33 and a 35 or 38?

Did u recommend it for downhill?

You can get this board in different sizes. Mine is quite large.

show more action shots dude

💩...🤭
