A section of an email I got from Lillis:

Subject: Reverse decks and wheels

Body: We are finally working on them! and the lillis graphics will almost be
the same, but a new colorsceme. and the hat is gone...
Finally all of you who've wanted to try the Lillis or Cooper will get to be able to! :icon_clap

As far as i'm aware, the shape's exactly the same. I can say that I, for one, am excited, and I feel Dylan shall be aswell... anyone else?

That's the strangest thing ever! I had a dream last night that I was skating somewhere and another freestyler approached me and skated with me, and he rode a Reverse deck!

Are Reverse decks of particularly good longevity?

I'm trying to find that out for myself. I'll let you know when I find out.

I have found out that the new colour scheme is brown, orange and yellow though...

Woohoo! Ive wanted to ride a Lillis ever since I saw one. I really like the old colors, but I can't say anything about the new for I havent seen it yet.

Well there's another pleasant suprise for you then!

I really like the old colors, but I can't say anything about the new for I havent seen it yet.
I too really like the old colours. I don't feel Brown's going to look that great, but then again I don't know what section's what yet... trying to get some images from Lillis and Lynn.

Got something from Lillis. I assume it's an emalgimation of all the screens as bits go over the sides and the exact shape's not there.. but this'll give you a general idea of what it'll look like.

Let me rephrase that...I'm definitely getting that after I try the eastbilt harward, provided that I decide I like single kick flat better than single kick concave.

What are the demensions of the new one?

Callum Bowran
06-09-2008, 03:39 PM
Same as the old one:
Width: 7 3/8
Length: 28 1/4
Nose: 5 1/4 (flat)
Tail: 5 3/4
Wheelbase: 12 1/4

When I get my hands on one I'll take a picture next to the old one to contrast and compare.

An email from Lynn!:
The new decks should be ready in about three weeks, I hope. I am working on the wheels still.
Three weeks kids! Better start saving your pocket money.

Please can a mod delete the picture on the previous page of the new Lillis design, this isn't the final design and Lillis has asked me not to show anyone for various reasons... sorry guys.

I'm kind of ready to try a slightly bigger FS deck too. Maybe it's just getting worn out, but my Morris is starting to feel...not good. I feel like the tails too small.

Callum Bowran

I don't know what size tail the Morris is, but I do know that it's steep. Having steep tails creates the illusion of shortness. The lillis has a 5 3/4" tail, but it feels slightly longer in comparison to other freestyle decks because of the angle of the kick.
