This might be a longshot but what if, if it's true that Cassette is going or has gone out of business, Integrity picks up Thomas. HOW BADASS WOULD THAT BE!?!? Since Reed signed with LF and Hansen and Hampson are gonna go somewhere else, Thomas needs somewhere to go. I mean he can't just quit wakeskating. Like I said it's a longshot, he may already be switching to another company, but it's just something to think about coughErichSchmaltzcough.

that would be pretty cool, but he would probably stick to wood

Think about it, a company like Cassette cant just go out of business and die.. A big company is going to buy cassette and they will return.. The same thing happended to LF and Baker skateboards..

re-entry is right, it will not just die. There ARE people that still believe in it...

i think the real question is whether these people that believe in cassette are willing to keep investing their money in it. i guess it all comes down to how much their investors want cassette to be around (do they ride?), but after 03's delam issues, 04's basically non-existent product, and 05's hurricane/i cant get a f-in board/more delam issues, you really have to wonder how much longer anyone is willing to throw money into cassette's bottomless pit.

I still ride a cassette because I think they are the best, just because they are out of business doesn't mean I don't still believe that. I will be riding last years boards this season because they are that good. I just like the way they feel.

che blanc, I always thought they waterlogged, but not any worse than most of the other major wakeskate companies at that time. Some people swore to their water logged 4-traks over other brand new boards.

you can still pretty much get the same decks just not with the cassette logo or graphics. i mean look at oaks concaves. how much different are they than a cassette 4 trac besides the graphic?

The 04's waterlogged, I could see the 03 also; but the 05 does not. It doesn't have the extra holes and seems to be lighter and made of less plys.

I doubt that they will come back, especially with all their sponsors leaving. If I would have bought a '04 and '05 Cassette, I would feel funkin betrayed because of what happened. It's not like something randomly happened tht shut them down, it was pretty much their fault it happened. But what the hell do I know? All I know is that there are tons of ROCs out there that I can buy from. But noone thinks that Thomas tearing it up on an Integ would be awesome? I think that would be killer.
