I've been riding a flight 93 since the spring of 2006 so while its likely an older version than what you have it has been a great board. I'm light
(145 #s) and the board is a little short and stiff but when I had stiff cubes in it was great for bomber runs and now that I've gone with softer cubes
it has become great for cursing and carving. I'm not abusive and I maintain my board well and it has lasted well. No delaminating, cracks or
anything. The Flight Lite is definitely more springy as its a composite deck and that has its advantages - but at the time, I couldn't afford a
Flight Lite so I got the Pro Flight 93 and it has held up very well. It took a while to get the bindings aligned the way I like them (older style
talons) and I played around with 3 different cubes, but now that the board is set up the way I like it, I have no complaints. Its a good, solid board
and if you got a deal on it or you couldn't afford to stretch your budget for the 100, don't worry about it. If you could get the Flight Lite, I
think it has a better deck for jumping (if you jump) as you can get more pop off the more springy deck, but if you just plan on cruising and carving
around and having fun, the flight 93 is more than sufficient. The wood deck, IMO, makes it heavier and stiffer, but I don't do any major jumping on
the board so that's really not a huge problem for me. If there is anything else you need to know, let me know. I think its a great board for the
price, but it all depends upon what you want to do and what you can afford to spend.

I don't get it. It sounds like you already have the board. Do you like the board? If not, what don't you like about it?

93 is sweet...it's got a narrow stance, so hopefully you aren't too tall

I ride the flight 100/ conflict 106 and the patrol pro. Keep your hubs tight. I've got parts if you need them..
I like the 93, but it too short as I'm 6'4"...
glad you found a GI board!

I'm 5'7". the stance is a little tight but nothing you can't get used too. Stand on it before you send it back.
