One day I had a dream, more like a vision I guess you could say. In this vision I saw every mountainboard manufacturer in the world lined up at my doorstep. When I asked them why they had come they told me that the mountainboarding community needed a quality source for mountainboard reviews and that they wanted me to assemble a crew together that would test and review their boards for them.
Unfortunately that dream has not yet become a reality. So until that time comes we will need to work together to make MountainBoard.net a quality source for mountainboard reviews. If you have any experience with the product or center being reviewed please add your comments to the review. Spread the word, we need your help!

This is from Ground Industries themselves, “The name says it all. The Patrol’s aggressive cut provides stability at speed and its Bomberlite TM composite hybrid construction offers an optimized strength to weight ratio. Combined with our most advanced componentry, the Patrol offers a truly explosive ride every time.”
It appears that the Patrol 106 is basically the same as the Conflict 106, only the Heliocore deck has been swapped for what GI calls the Bomberlite deck, a composite hybrid. How aggressive is this board and how well is it holding up for it’s riders?
If anyone owns a Patrol 106 or has taken one for a test run, please share your input with us. Help out your fellow mountainboarders by sharing your personal experience with us using the comment box below.

i read that the trucks are 15″ as aposed to 16″ on the conflict!! i’m looking at buying a board and wonder what difference this will make to the ride??? also does anyone know if a 106(cm) board is a good size for a 5ft 10″ rider???

I have a GI Patrol 106,
Great board out of hte box, it has a deep cut shape on the deck so it rides fairly low, this is great for high speed kite landboarding, thats what i use it for at least. It does not have as much pop as other boards that have more flex but this makes it very stable at high speeds, which in turn can allow you to catch bigger air. The trucks are great they look and feel like they could take a nuclear explosion and hold up. I specially love the way you can control slide it on the sand, you just basically lean back and slide away, i have gooten to slide for 20 plus feet and come back to regular ridding pose with ease. I am not that experienced on a mountainboard, but i do have some time on the water. This board is great for long beach runs with the ocational big air.
Enjoy,

This board is awesome, it is my first mountainboard and i have been able to use it very well and get some good airs.. The only problem are the bindings, after about a week of using the board the thing that u use to tighten them became loose and no its harder to meke them tight. I dont know if that happend because i was using them wrong or something but i am now used to it.
