Anyone know anything about gator skates? I rode one the other day, would like ya'lls input, I pulled it out of the package to demo it (with gator in the boat), at the end of the day it was already delaminating, anyone had similair problems? I like the way their skate rides and it's pretty cheap for a concave. If anyone has any input , lets hear it.
skate or die!

no rails, gator just said that he thought that the laminator was at the end of its glue at the factory, i just was wondering if anyone else has ridden one or had the same problem. it's' a pretty sick board.

A couple of the guys I ride with have the new gator skates. They seem to like them. I don't think they have delaminated but I havn't ridden with them for a while so they may have by now.

no pics, it looks like a cassette concave on top and the bottom is just all black with the gator boards caddy symbol, pretty cool looking skate.

i rode one set in the morning, then gator and vandall were gonna go out with a few people and get an evening set, they were putting the fins back on it and notice the bottom sheet was coming off, It was ridden once and sat out all day.
