Board sounds great but companies always make everything sound like its the hottest thing on the planet, so i'm lookin for some real rider input. Speed? Boot? Landings? Overall vibe? etc.

I like it. I ride cable, but I find that it's great for air tricks, lands soft, edges very well, and feels a little faster than most board's I've been on.

Keith Kills it on that board, can't be too bad!

Well it looks like its pretty identical to the Gator Militant (Keith's pro model when he was with gator)...which is pretty close to Keith's Pro model with Double up way back when. <BR> <BR>Personally, I am a big fan of the shape and have been for a long time. I started out on his Double Up shape (Lidberg Pro Model), then moved the LF Shane eventually coming back to the Militant (Lidberg's Gator Pro Model). <BR> <BR>I have put quite a few people on it who like it. Overall I like the shape. Its relatively quick, has good pop and solid landings. Most people who ride the shape ride it finless since the molded in fins are so big.

I ride the Millitant and love it. The molded in fins are small by some of the other molded ins that are on a lot of boards now days. I also ride it finless and it is perfect. In '05 it was also Rusty's pro model board.
