I need a new landboard. Hoping to pick one up for Christmas. I'm 6'0, very light frame (~125 pounds), and I'm looking for a mid-priced, freestyle kite ATB. I like the Flight 2010 by GI, but they're sold out of nearly their entire 2010 lineup. Trampa boards are amazing, but a bit expensive. Same goes with MBS Pro 90. Scrub has the GLD, but it's expensive and I don't really like it. NoSno is out of the question. I'd be willing to go with an older GI board like the Flight 93, but it's a tad heavy, has no grab handle, and it's a pain to locate one. Thinking about an MBS Core 95? It's a little long... I'm used to riding a Flexifoil Hunter and other short boards. I like the Vector trucks, though. And it's drilled for a handle. The extra length shouldn't matter TOO much, should it? I have long legs. Any suggestions? Has anyone freestyled with this board before? Thanks.

I ride a core 90. It is pretty light ant rides nice. I think that it is a pretty different board than the core 95. It is cheaper, shorter, stiffer and has the skate trucks which are lighter but are not as nice. I guess that means I do not know anything about the core 95.

thats what i ride, very stable board. Dont throw away your board mid air, vectors snap very easy.

its a longer board so its super stable at high speed. 30+mph

Kent still has a 2010 Flight Lite listed on his site. For a little more, there is also a 2010 Edge which comes with Bionic Spring trucks which will probably hold up to abuse better than the Skate Titaniums on the Flight Lite.

If you are on a budget, Dino has about GI Special Builds which are essentially mint (i.e. new/never used) '06 decks that were found at the GI warehouse and then fitted with all new 2010 running gear and a fresh set of tubes/tires for a greatly reduced price.

Either one can set you up with an MBS grab handle for just a little more.

A 6" feet, I would actually mark out what some of the listed deck stances are and stand with your feet that far apart of see how comfortable you are in that position. If you were happy with the Flexfoil Hunter and still have it, measure the deck stance on that and see how the others compare.

ATB,
Sam

I am very pleased with mine.
Light , flexi, stable. I am a lightweight rider and doubt I can bust the Vector trucks but promise to try. This board was the perfect step up from being forced to learn on much heavier boards . Blade and Comp 16.

Great bang for buck when buying these boards used IMHO.
