I haven't ridden the Trip,which they say is a rocket.I have a Witness and it isn't fast,but is very smooth.Probably the smoothest,most consistent board I've ridden.
ryan, the lyman is really really fast. For me, the board is just perfect. I feel like i got springs under my feet. Im kind of an "in the flats" dude, but lots of people say that since the lyman is such a fast board that it will just throw you out instead of up, but it really pops me straight up as well as up and out. Its a great board for all types of riding. Its really fun too
