///I think remember reading on this site that Cassette might release the top-deck of the bi-level separately for people who may already have a flat deck skate...You think this would ever happen?..I think it's a great idea...I have a 43" Cassette that I never use anymore and would love to cut an inch off each end and throw another deck on top...Lemme know what you guys think///

I never thought about recycling an old flat deck as the bottom deck of a bi-level application. I don't see why that wouldn't work if you can buy the top deck and mounting hardware separately. There may be a reason why it may not work that I'm not aware of, but it sure would be sweet if it did work.

I have a few flat decks that I could use or just save as replacement parts for a later date.

How crazy would it be to have something like a Kampus bottom with a Cassette top deck?

I dought it... if they did no one would buy the full board... ppl would just by a cheap flat deck and then the top... they would probably lose money

EvanPark, i dout they would lose money because they are still selling the the top deck that they will charge twice as much.

ok first off its doubt not dought, parky pay attention in english!
i talked to thomas about this at surf expo a lil while ago... he said about 6 moths after the release they will have all the stuff seperate and they will have different size risers and stuff, it will be customizable. so im sure u can buy wat u want and build one.

i asked him this because i was interested to see iff when the bottom decks wears out if u can replace just the bottom one and he said yeah.

sorry for the delay i just never saw this thread

Well you guys might run into some problems with this. First the bi-lev is assym. so there could be problems with that, also, the bi-levs actually have less plys of wood than a regulat flat deck,(remember, these are two boards working together), also, the bi-lev as a complete feature a "certain" veneer/ply cross grain construction, this allows for the way the board rides and responds. In "theory" you could mount a regular flat deck, but in the long run, it would actually be more of a pain to modify a flat, than that of actually buying a bi-lev bottom, I just wanted to offer some points to you guys.....
