With the Bi-Level you have the chances of the top deck breaking and the entire deck cracking, warping, getting water logged and losing its pop.

Ask twenty7. He rode his deck 3 times and now it weighs over 15 lbs.

With an Integrity you get a good stiff board that will maintain that stiffness through out the life to the board. It has a durasurf 5000 base, which is the same as snowboard bases. Making it real durable on rails and easily repairable with P-tex if necessary. There is a strip of 22oz triaxial weave glass down the center of the board to keep its stiffness and counter balance the board when doing tricks. You can also shape the rails to whatever suits your riding style.

I hope that this gets you started on your decision. PM me if you have any additional questions.

Bilevel
Pros: skateboard like feel, lots of pop, new cutting edge design
Cons: heavy, possible strength and lasting issues

Integ
Pros: very strong and longlasting, reshapable edge, lots of pop, nicely weighted and good feeling
Cons: only cons I can think of refer to a personal preferance (weight, material, etc.)

I have never riddin either but after the 234050 posts, this is what I have gathered.

mikeskatesonwater,

It says coming soon, but why would you want to buy an Integrity from them when you can get them directly from Erich and Erich always throws in extra goodies.
