Did you not know that as soon as you hit a rail, it voids your warranty? shizzle happens bro, boards break. LF is a great company that has put a lot into our sport. If you want a board that won't break then buy one...those things aren't well know for holding up.

On a more positive note, LF is the dank imo. I don't ride their wakeskates because I'm pretty sure that^ will happen so i ride integ, but i do ride a 08 watson that is sex pressed in fiberglass. I had 08 watson binders on it but i blew out my knee a couple days after i got the setup, blew it out again 6 months later, so i was out the entire 08 and part of 09 seasons with knee injuries and mid 09 when i finally got to ride them after watching them sit for more than a year, they bust all over the place. These boots had a few sets on them and were past warranty at this point by about 6-7 months yet when i called LF and told them my situation, they gladly sent me a brand new pair of '09s free of charge Smash

and also paid shipping on both pairs.

That's customer service. Smile

so you're saying they made you want to hit rails by watching their videos? and because of that, they deserve to lose money by giving you another deck for free even though you broke the first one hitting rails? thats why people have good boards and rail boards. if companies did this then they'd all end up like cassette...and that f_cking sucks.

if you want something that will last get a concave deck, wood or composite, by a reputable American wakeskate company. (ex. Integrity, Arson, Woodworks, etc.)

yah most likely waiting on remote to let loose..but think logically are u slaming into a rail or just scratching them up from slideing around? if i was slameing into rails as hard as i do comeing down from a wake it would be understandable ...i could c a beginner board haveing that kind of warrenty but a pro model board should be a better warrety.....most times more exsensive products come with a better warrenty...ur supose to get what u pay for right?

Well, if you emailed them about your issue, there is a possibility that they just flat out couldn't read your email...so they just told you that it looks like you hit some rails and that they can't help you with that.

sprocketamerica, That sucks your insert came out, but it is 2009 almost 2010, we've all known for a few years now, once you grind you can't get back a dime! or a free skate!!

wattsbutter, thats a terrible philosophy. probably one of things that irks me the most is when the rep from a company tells you that. or anyone for that matter.

for 1. the rail has no issue to the board cuz im not a dush who slams into them i just scratch the crap out of it cause i do it alot... the prob is the shity build where theres no damn o ring if thos retards knew anything about fastning theyd know u need a oring... set screw are load bareing so if there is no support ring then there is no support to the screw

sliding an integrity voids their warranty too. every company is like that because if you break a board on a rail it is not a manufacturing defect.

the 2010 SSTs have the inserts reinforced with ABS discs so they are less likely to pull out. i still believe that bilevels are fragile no matter what.
