Thomas used to ride a wakeboard professionally for Liquid Force... Furthermore LF was producing Cassette's decks up until a few years ago. They probably considered him still "on the team" when they were making Cassettes...

I'd be hesitant to jump on the "sell out wakeboard companies" bandwagon untill you acctually understand where that comes from...

Thomas never rode for LF Professionally he did help design the nemsis while he was using LF as a distributer of Cassette. LF never made Cassette boards they only acted as the middle man to the shops for Thomas and in return he and Chase were asked to help out with the team and R & D.

wheres e-snow at???? come on she would work all of us on this haha...thomas was on fulltilt. he is part of the reason why wakeboards are ridden the way they are today. thomas and another handful of riders including chase heavener and matt staker(maybe?) were labeled "the new crew" by wbm...they rode with wider stances and longer ropes.

When ever I pull out my old wakeboarding mags or old movies it is always funny to see how much chases appearance has changed over the years.

freerider4, Umm... the only thing that has changed is that he is more cocky and a whole lot FATTER!

Thomas' part on Decline of the Waterski Monopoly is very sick. He made it look easy. Dude could probably kill it on a 2x4.

addy, phillip has been on LF for awhile. and george is on hyperlite, if you didnt know that.
