I've ridden both. IMO you can't go wrong with either. the Bi-level rides more like a skateboard and sticks to your feet really well. rides big too the 40 inch felt bigger. I just really liked the way it snapped.
the integrity is great too. the shape of the concave is IMO perfect. Rides a little high in the water, but thats nothing a sanding block cant fix, ollies super easy aswell.
both of them hold up great to rails aswell.
Its a hard choice both so good and so differant.
Really the only way to know what suits you is to demo.

I haven't ridden the bi-level yet, but will have one as soon as they come out.

I'm sure I'll catch flack for this, but personally I didn't feel anything special with the Integrity. I have one, but it's only been used a handful of times. I usually ride my '05 4-Track. In no way am I hating on Integrity, I love what the company stands for and their riders. The board just wasn't for me.

Well, I'm off to the lake to suffer in some cold water.

I heard that the bi level's are going to be different than few that are already circulating around. Probably not a huge change though...

ive have riden both, i didnt feel that comfy on the integ but i was told if i gave it more time i would. i could ollie higher in the flats than my board collection tho. i think it is a great board with a really good shape. i rode the bilev and landed big tricks first try and cleaner than most of the time i throw them on any other board. the pop is amazing and imo being that i am 175 and 5'11 the weight was great, i threw an inside out shuv high and more stable than any other that i have ever thrown. i will be picking up a bi-level as soon as possible. i also think that it is gna be a personal choice between the two. i will say those will be the top two boards in 05 for sure. i also really like k-series and the 05 4track alot too.

I've ridden both. The Integrity is great but it's nothing compared to the bi-level.

I rode both, but only for a few falls and on a cold night. the bi level has awesome pop and a really nice/different skaeboard feel. i dont know about others, but for me it would take a good while to get used to it.
the integrity was easy to get used to and i liked it right away.
to tell the truth i was probably doing higher ollies and such on the integrity. but probably not if i had ridden the bi longer.

FWIW, When I forst rode the Perserverance(which became the Integrity) I was not real comfy on it. I was real used to my 4-track. But after my 2nd run I was really feeling the board. for some people it might take a couple runs, ya know

when i rode an integrity it just didnt feel right to me. it probably just takes some getting used to just like any other board.

yeah thats the thing, I think every deck feels weird at first. When I first got my 4-track it felt real weird, but I was coming off a flat deck. But I adjusted and find it to be one the best decks I have ridden

i cant decide which one to get. i havent ridden either one. kinda leaning towards the bi-level because of its supposed skate feel. guess i should try em out first.

koolbeans, neither can i, thats why i started this topic. i just cant seem to get myself to want another wood board.

BillyOLDS · Posted: Dec 11, 2004 2:58 pm Post subject:

ive been riding composite for the last year(a liberation) and i like it alot but its not the good wood feel. i miss the wood, especially on rails and shat

not to sound like an a$$ but the question was who has ridden BOTH and everyone that has just ridden one and still replies is just wasting space and other persons time (like i am right now) ......anyways i've ridden both and both are great boards , TRY BOTH before you buy either. The bi-level is revolutionary ,an olie is a whole new experience. Integs are everything i wished the catalyst would have been when they came out, great for lip tricks and explosive off the wake. I plan on getting a bi-level when they finally surface, but can't wait to see what integ will be comming up with next year.
