Gator 80D for my first board?

[geissap]

I was gonna drop 250-300 and get a nice Oak or Sattelyte for my first board, but I just stumbled across this. The description describes me perfectly. I come from a skateboard and snowboard background, and it seems like a fantastic deal. Look as though grip isn't included? Will this board allow me to get any pop at all? Or is it just for flat tricks?

Not to excited about having to put my own grip tape on though...are these gator boards decent or should i just invest the extra 150 and get a new oak or sattelyte?

I haven't rode either of those boards but just looking at the doyle i think it would be a wierd board. If it was me id go with the drew. I did have a gator reaper and it was a pretty sweet board.
