Yeah I own a drop speed a very nice board thats for sure, stand ups are breeze on it also a wicked alround board. The one thing that i didnt like so much was the platform was a bit to short for my likey while railing corners hard.

I had no problem with a tuck it on the board and i'm about 176cm, I found it hard to find the back of the board after using a glyde drop-thru with the wings, but once your use to it its a pretty solid deck. Yates uses a drop speed for both freeride and downhill. Alot of the landy guys who arent rocking a evo setup will most likley be on a drop speed.

mate it looks like a sick board, being a landy its pretty hard to buy a shitty board off them, i really like the look of it for a DH and freeride board, got a nice nose and tail on it too which i like the look of, kinda looks like a nice stiff dervish

the wheel base isnt that much shorter than the glyde but its all about what your looking for...the glydes an amazing board so stable and loves the turns but if your after a freeride board id get a dropspeed...im working with pete on a new glyde freeride deck but its only in the design phase so could be a a few months before is out...
