does anyone have some experience with NEW skates at the cable park?

how are their bi-levels for the cable?

are their rocker lines fast?

how do they hold up on obstacles?

Which NEW would you recommend?

thanx

ive ridden the mogley on cable and it was really good for it. it rides pretty high in the water so its good for the speed cables run at

and its a really sturdy board so it'll hold up fine

NEW's ride really fast compared to most boards. Normally I ride around 22 on jetski, on a new I ride around 20 or 19, That being said It would be a perfect cable skate for you. Their rocker is usually around 1.5in.

you say it rides faster than most boards, with which board or brand is it comparable (LF, HL, Integ, etc)?

how are their rails shaped?

which NEW do you ride?

k41, I have a friend that's had a few News that loves it and its a great board for the price but if i was in your position (a mainly cable rider planning on hitting a lot of obstacles), i would go with something a little more sturdy. I say that because my friend's New decks took on a noticeable amount of water after a few months without hitting any obstacles and i wouldn't see them holding up as long as an Oak or some other deck from a company with a reputation for durability.

That's the only complaint i have on the mogley. Other than that its a great shape and for the price it's a steal.

I ride a new at wake nation every day. Well when it is warm. I ride the 38 and i love it. I really like the way that it rides, there is a lot of pop and it holds up really well. I beat the shizzle out of mine and it won't stop.

RC, new will fix any board with any cracks through any of the plys... They probably make some of the most durable boards around.

k41, I have had bi-levels and concaves from new and have nothing but good things about them. there fast through the water and they hold up really well. I have had a mogley and some of there custom decks and they are all great..
