You can't be serious with that statement... did you seem to forget the little setup he has in his back yard. Guess that's old news now.
This is a FOX video, Reed didn't produce, shoot or edit it. |

Gnarly Dancer 42, yeah I was in the same oat until the shuv out
so it made me realize, how many snow/skate spots are out there on film
sure many people have skated the same spots, doing the same tricks but there is always another edit coming after it
no one seems to say hey, ive seen that done before so I dont want to do anything here
so as long as there is something new(even a shuv) its still progressive, even if its not much
I was expecting fliptrick to corrugated or something untterly insane _________________ https://vimeo.com/moontowerco |

I wasn't expecting this response. I think it's a sick edit with a cool campaign; there are new angles in the vid that show just how gnarly the gap to that pipe is. And the trick he filmed, to my knowledge, is new. It's not the same old back lip from two or three years ago.
Also, the print ad, which i believe was shot by ian reid, is also very cool.
There are better things to do than hate on this. _________________ *The opinions expressed are on my behalf and not those of wakeskating.com* |

Totally irrelevant to the point LoGiK was trying to make. He was referring to his trick selection in this video, not his ability to build the most innovative wakeskate feature of all time. And it kind of is old news... if you haven't seen or heard of Battle Falls, you're seriously out of the loop. (Or just really new to wakeskating.)

Actually, Reed did have a role in producing this video, as I'm sure he picked the spots and tricks. But I partially agree with you. It's always pretty evident when a video like this is done by a production company and not by experienced wakeskate filmers. Not saying there is anything wrong with that, but I think some tricks could have been filmed better, like the heelflip (I would have cut that shot completely) and the backlip shuv.
With that being said, I thought this video was really sick. It's completely spot on. Reed is one of the raddest dudes I've met through wakeskating and this edit gives viewers a genuine sense of spending the day with Reed. As far as the repeated tricks, it's whatever. Anyone would have backlipped that pipe to warm up before shuving out of it. Varial flip down palm coast has also never been done. Reed kills it and I'm sure if this was his next video part, those ABD tricks would be scrapped, but it's just a fun day in the life web edit, enjoy it for what it is.
Esnow, I actually like these kind of responses! I'm stoked when people notice stuff like this, it shows that community is paying attention to the progression of wakeskating and not just settling for the same ole tricks done by a different person. |

tad, I took that as more of a general statement and obvious hate being shown towards Reed. Of course that is a repeat spot but when a rider is getting out there and promoting the sport how can someone be negative about it, just seemed a little tacky. He wasn't making wakeskating look bad, the shots/edit wasn't garbage.
I'm on the same page as electricsnow, she just conveyed her message better than my initial gut reaction response. |

BB, Ya I agree with you and Esnow completely about that, this campaign is great for wakeskating and I'm stoked Fox is getting involved! They couldn't have picked a better frontman than Reed, one of the nicest dudes out there and bleeds for this sport. (Plus he's really, really good.) |

dang sorry didn't mean to start so much controversy , by no means was that a direct stab at reed, although ill never forget the day he told me he only films for 2 videos a year , why would you limit yourself.
Tad i was being lazy on explaining myself and I think you pretty much covered
but anywho yea reed kills it , his backyard gap is one of the most innovative inventions in wakeskating and of oh yea did i mention he kills it on a wakeskate....
i guess i was trying to point out for how good he is , it would have been sick to see him front heel or frontbig heel palm coast since Ben has already done the most perfect heelpflip down a gap ever on that exact same spot....
no hard feelings towards reed, im sure he doesnt care what i think anyways
still a sick edit and I rather watch that, then not watch anything at all... _________________ www.jimizwakenskate.com
