The main difference is that the Glyde has built-in wedging, about 8 deg front and -8 deg rear. Assuming you'd use the same trucks on both boards, the Glyde would have a turnier front and less turny rear than the Nemesis. That'll make it more stable at speed and a little harder to break into a slide.
But it all depends on what trucks you use. You can create the same effect on a Nemesis by using a turnier truck on the front than on the back. And you can remove the effect from the Glyde by using a less turny truck on the front than on the back.
It's not all about the deck.

Very similar pan and front foot position, slightly more aggressive concave at the edges of the nemesis, slight wedge and dewedge on the glide against flat nemesis. Both very reactive boards with a similar WB. Glyde has a more refined wheel cutout and its Aussie.

the thing i did notice with my GLYDE is when running cast trucks like the gullwings, randals and Paris its easily prone to wheelbite when set up loose. thats due to the extra platform room at the back, which is great for DH but not so good for loose carving and sliding. the Nemesis has bigger cutouts so its not such an issue, but it doesn't perform as well as the GLYDE when it comes to DH.

Hmm i run bear trucks on my glyde with 75mm otangs never got wheel bite and i ride my trucks so loose its not funny.
Only ever got bite when i rode up a gutter side ways on two wheels, I don't know if the randals would be the same.

leigh had mentioned this to me when running gullwings? i have only set mine up with kookies, force bear and smokies, not randalls or paris but have a fella here in bris running the 35 degree gullwings with no prob but he rides far from loose, the only explanation i can give is that given the shaping is done by hand that there is a difference in how the cut outs are shaped as the mould, template and drilling are all the same board to board due to the "ubeaut fitzy mcjig" , if they need a bit of reshaping due to wheel bite just use a 120 grit sanding disk on a grinder shape to fit and reseal with what ever clear coate dad his in the shed, ******BUT BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO "BURN" THE WOOD AS THIS COULD FUCK THE INTEGRITY OF THE RESIN*****
or come skate QLD and i'll sort it out in five mins

I've got some smaller wheels (Freerides Stimulus) coming and I've put an extra shock pad on each end, so that should do it. will definitely test it on some bears though.
