have anyone tried out the gator bi-level? whats the review about that board? and does anyone knows a shop that still sells cassette bi-level? i'm planning to get one. My options are cassette, integrity and the deuce pop in that order.

deuce pops are at Performance if you live in the orlando area, or maybe you can order it off the perf website: www.perfski.com.

Dude i'm from the philippines. I'll just have my sister order it from me since she live in LA then have it shipped here rather than direct shipping cause the shipping fee is so freaking expensive. That is why i need to know whether GB deuce pop is a good skate? My choices right now are the Integrity Tolstoy and Gb deuce pop so i need to really decide which is better since i live too far. hope someone can help me on this!

Well, the problem is that the tolstoy is an 04 model and that year they only made 100 production boards for each model (the team and the tolstoy--I think it was 100, I can't even remember anymore). With that said, you may need to look at an 05 integrity, an 06 integrity, or that deuce pop.

Yeah its an 04 model and didn't know that they made only a 100 of those. But i found a shop on the internet that sells the integrity tolstoy and they still have it. Very Happy

yabu, Why do you want he Tolstoy specifically? Cuz the '06 Integs should be better than ever. But between an Integ and a Deuce Pop I would go with the Integ.

yabu, that's crazy. Good luck with your purchase, since your options haven't really been narrowed down. Very Happy

jboss, well i like the design of the tolstoy. the 06 integs are not out yet and the 05 are a little expensive for my budget since the conversion of dollar to peso is high like $1=P52 pesos. Sad

kumusta yabu, i wouldn't narrow down your choices that much. there are lots of other mabuti companies out there and are less mahal. If u really want a Bi-level i would try to find an 05 Cassette. Good luck and welcome to the site.

bigpimpinalberta, pinoy ka? i'm tryng to find a 05 cassette but none so far. i asked all the shops that still have cassette bi-levels posted on their site and they said that they're out of stock. i'm actually looking for a board that performs well and not too cheap not too expensive. Very Happy

Yabu, when I said crazy, I didn't mean crazy in a bad way.

I can't really tell you what board to get because it's all based on personal preference--what are you looking to get out of a wakeskate, and how does that board feel underneath your feet? Nowadays, those aspects make it especially important to demo what you can because all of the boards ride differently, and they may sound good in reality, but it may not actually be the board for you.

electricsnow, well i'm still kinda new to wakeskate. i do have an 05 byerly but i want to get skate which is more wider, heavier and generates more pop. sorry im not really good at this still cause i'm just new to this sport.

don t buy the cassette bi-level....!!
I had three of them last summer and all broke within a month.....
no obstacles just flat riding....

according to me the gator bi-level will have the same problem....
the upper deck should be made of nylon and the bottom board of wood instead....

there is too much pressure on the upper wood deck so it breaks really quick....

try to get a goodwood board the best board you could get at the time....
good luck....
