Cassette 06 real deal

[Alex Lirio]

When is it really coming out? I hope they (cassette) can give us a date when they're going to release the 06 decks! Will it be this year?

Alex Lirio, Who knows, I just hope when they drop it's the real deal and they have no problems. As for me, I got sick of waiting and bought an '05 Bi and coated it with two coats of marine spar varnish. When Cassette comes back they're gonna be huge.

jboss, they'd be even huger if they sold from there website, so every one from the US doesnt have to pay even more to ship them here since hes selling every where but america ..

I think cassette has lost a lot of the trust of many wakeskaters. No doubt that Thomas and his ideas/innovations are sick as hell, but there is def. the issue of having a deck that lasts, and after more than a year of low-quality decks and ridiculous customer service, i think a lot of people will have trouble going back to cassette. Then again there are also a lot of people who will trust thomas and cassette to the end. Props to the die-hard cassette riders out there. But i can't see cassette getting "huge" very soon. Just my 2 cents.

Slapdown, I totally agree... but all I know is this line of skates (2006) is going to be vital for the survival of cassette... cause if they come back with a skate that is just as "low-quality"... and I say "low-quality" only as in durablity cause everyone knows the bis rip... anyway if they come back with a "low-quality" skate again I think it will deffinatly be tough for them to gain trust ever again... personally I dig cassette and thomas tons... I had an 05 bi and loved it... but all I know is that if shizzle goes bad again this year... then thomas might be on very thin ice... but like I said I hope shizzle works out.

Dered, Everyone doesn't know the bi's rip. I rode one and didn't like it But i still know thomas and cassette have contributed more to the evolotion of the wakeskate than anyone else. The idea behind the bi is phenominal, being creative and knowledgable enough to create something completely different (with an idea that actually works) that any other product in an industry takes a lot. Not to mention making the first concave wakeskates. I would hate to see someone so vital to wakeskating go down. But even if it comes down to that... Cassette has definately left it's mark on wakeskating and will never be forgotten.

[Dered]

Slapdown, true dat bruh... and I am sorry for making the statement... what I geuss I should have said was most people dig the bis... and like you said even if you dont like them its all about the inovation and the progession of the sport and one thing is for sure EVERYONE knows... or at least should know... the effect cassette and thomas have had...

[Slapdown]

Dered, Haha don't be sorry. With such a large majority of people in love with the bi's, that statement is completely acceptable

kind of late on this reply but i think that cassette will learn from their mistakes and ultimately come back with some sweet stuff, maybe not the 06 line because stuff is still pretty messed up with cassette right now, but the 07 stuff definitely. i just hope that people understand that it was pretty "ballsy" to introduce a bi-level and that it was likely there was gonna be some kind of design flaw(as there is with all decks). so dont lose faith in cassette and keep supporting them, they're important part of wakeskating.

i'm sure they made some adjustments from what happened during 05. they'll definitely come up with something to improve all this.

I've never ridin a cassette:( but i've wanted a Bi since i've known about 'em. a company like Cassette isnt gonna put somethin out there with a defect and put teh same thing rigth back out the next year. They'll be back.
