i'm confused.

Satori/Creation is an all around sick company... I thought he'd end up on Magenta.

I believe so. How is creation still around? I have to say that is easily one of the worst fonts. I back Kenny though so good for him to find something.

A badass photo with some of the worst graphic work I've ever seen. Luving the font usage and the SPRAYPAINT BRUSH IN THE CORNER?

^^^ Was just going to say that. Too many different fonts as well and never do all caps on a script font as well. Photo is awesome too but it got butchered by the other shit around it.

I just hope he keeps coming out with little low key parts every year or two like he has been.  Magenta would have been great though.

I was so confused and stoked.

I dont get this. Reed on Creation doesn't really work for me. Magenta for style of skater and graphics would have made more sense. Cant have everything you want

I liked Kenny Reed's stuff back to 7 year Glitch and even Static 2 was really good, but enough with the god damn 360 flips/varial flips over some weird shitty bump in a foreign place. The last 10 yrs for Reed have more or less been very photogenic skating wise and not very eye appealing on video.

thought he could do better then creation in terms of a board sponsor. Still good for him and I hope to see some footage. this dude has the coolest life in skateboarding.

Magenta would've been way sicker, but I'm glad this guy has a board sponsor. Too bad about Rasa Libre being out of business. Matt Field should have never left Deluxe.

I'm usually very good at figuring out the trick in a photo, but with this one, I feel like it could be a pop shove, a varial flip, or a tre flip. Anyway, kinda an odd move, though he definitely fits the ticket.

And of course no where in their millions of shitty fonts is the trick name

At least he'll be able to stretch that pittance of a royalty check a lot further in India or Thailand or whatever third-world locale he's in this month....

Magenta would've been way sicker, but I'm glad this guy has a board sponsor. Too bad about Rasa Libre being out of business. Matt Field should have never left Deluxe.

First off, Matt never left DLX, he was shown the door. Rasa Libre lost $500,000 for DLX. That's the reason it all ended there, plus Matt's relationship with Jim and Mic-e wasn't so good.

Bummed Kenny ended up on this fake company. I really expected him to end up on Magenta, but yeah, I guess he's not quite as cool with those guys as expected. As far as him slacking, that's for sure, he's definitely not the skater he was, but he's still sick and out there doing his own thing.

Rase Libre lost Deluxe a half million dollars? Rasa was my favorite when it came out and I feel as though I only had the chance to skate one or two boards before dlx ended it.

Rasa is still going strong, aren't they?

They're out of business now.

I never heard a story about Rasa Libre losing that much money for DLX. I heard Matt left because of differences in how product was wanted to be made, like organic cotton and hemp in clothing, and things like that, and DLX wasn't into it beacuse it was a bit more expensive, so Matt broke out on his own and tried to do shit his own way. Any sources for what your story about Rasa Libre? Also, if Matt Field's relationship with Mic-E and Jim T wasn't so good, then why would they have given him the chance to start the company under Deluxe in the first place?

So deluxe invested $500,000 all together into rasa libre, and when deluxe canned the company, they lost their investment, and wrote it off as a $500,000 loss because rasa libre brought them no profit? So the 500k went no where basically. Is that what you are saying? Or did something else happen?

I dont think that was Matt Fields choice, i dont think they offered him a spot anywhere else after Rasa went under.
