I guess you need to look into Stu Shinn. Dude can rip it.

Toxis, the board just looks awkward when ridden. stu dominates, but i think stu looked better on the oak and integrity in my opinion.
the board has crazy kicktails, but when you see videos of people riding it they dont even have their feet touching the kicktails and the concave is pushed out all the way to the edges so again your feet dont touch it so you cant benifit from the leverage. without taking advantage of the top features you are riding a 38" flat deck. |

I dont think Gator is going under anytime soon.
Gator product should be shipping to stores within the month. The Sylvan looked really similar to the J-Star bi at expo, almost identical... They moved the bolts or connection points to the edge of the board to reduce the torsional flex.
