I would do anything to go back and ride on the old sweetwater pontoon with derek and daniel. I don't think ali would be invited though....
Having a whole arsenal of cassettes... thats all there was back then.

I guess this post is more like a history lesson and less like a walk down memory lane.

Oh, and it's awesome to see you on here jesse! I can't remember if I posted that or not, but I definitely wanted to!
Here are some more cassette ads. it's most of them. I know there's another LF ad I'm missing that has the 02 concaves...I only scanned half of it but it's pretty boring anyway.

I love this ad because it was such a rad way to introduce the bi-level. most people were wondering what it looked like, and this ad gave the viewer a brief glimpse without giving everything away. and then there's the c-logo pattern that was on the 05 bi-l |

im sure it's been said over and over again, but in a brief statement, why did cassette die? - im sorry if its off subject. - its just hard to see something so good that had to go away.

I would just say money. the 04 line never came out right so there was a very short run of boards from that year. ( i heard there were only like 100 reeds produced, but I'm not sure if that's accurate or not. I just know there are not many 04 cassettes out there, and even fewer that look good.) 05 needed to be a good year but a number of first batch bi-levels weren't pressed correctly or something, so they delamed. cassette tried to warranty them but eventually, when you don't have money you don't get your product to sell.
I think it sucks that cassette is gone but I'd rather have had it and lost it than not had it at all. I've been so insipred as a person by the people behind that brand that I probably couldn't even say thank you enough.

Was there ever a 4-trac with a wooden top produced or just a couple of protos? Like the one in the ad?

wakeskate77, just protos. But i don't know how many of those were made...I don't ever recall seeing any video footage or photos of that board so it might have even been a one off.
Slapdown, agreed!

electricsnow, Thanks for the memories! the caveman sequence really brings me back i still remember thinking, this is why wakeskating is cooler then wakeboarding! but that's just the old school skater in me..

David Legler, Nice! I especially like the pic of kov, and that wake to wake frontside shuv sequence was unmatched for a number of years. Who is in that second pic in your first post?
