I just ordered the new Reed and ive never riden anything but hyperlite Crying or Very sad

(which sucks on wakeskates by the way). ive had and 04 byerly, 05 Karma, an 06 Byerly. The 06 wasnt horrible but im pretty sure theres better out there. What can i expect out of the Reed? Better? or worse?

You can expect the Reed to fall apart in a matter of days. It seems all the new LF decks are compressed sawdust, with a few decent layers of wood. It will fall apart quickly if you ride a lot.

The new LF's get my vote as the worst made decks this year, they are just total pieces of garbage (durability wise). I hear the ride well though, so enjoy it while it lasts!

s34n, how many different a.reed skates have you heard of falling apart? i know someone posted that theirs got destroyed on the second ride or something, but how many other ones have their been?

scott a, i've heard it from quite a few people...but i have heard they liked the ride and shape a lot. i guess it depends on how hard u ride it.

The a. reed was one of my favorite skates I have tried I think I liked it better than the reed bi-level.

I'm personally not a huge fan of LF at all. Im just a HUGE A. Reed fan. I heard it felt like a Bi-level and the shape was totally different than most other skates so i figured id blow some $ and try it out.
