Just wondering if anyone had a scan of the old Hyperlite Gate wakeskate ad that said something about "Nollies off the Doubleup". That thing used to crack me up in the day. I think it was like '03-'04 or something?

I have a gate in the garage somewhere. I don't think it says that on it though.

To be fair, only a handful of people ever got that second deck.

LATX, the cassette was limited in production and the gate was mass produced

LATX, the cassette

Plus, that's actually a different graphic! There's an old phone on this one. I saw an even earlier mock up on the internet somewhere.

I'm still working on the ad, but thought i'd post that thing since that announcement got everyone worked up and there was finally a visual for whatever rumors were flying around.

484 had the most ground breaking deck on that page. They lead wakeskate innovation

Buyers remorse on the gate

I have the Kharma, was basically the same board. First wakeskate ever purchased landed my first shuv on among other things. I bought it off ebay with no clue what as to what was what then. 114cm = 44.81 inches = radical.

electricsnow, Hahaha, thank you for the Christmas present. I figured you'd be the one who had it.

"Get more snap off the double up for a nollie!"

That gate write up is hilarious. Thanks for sharing.

About a year ago, I rode a Gate down the Retention drop (manual top pool - 180 down - switch manual bottom pool), and after the joke was over, I was thinking how wild it would be to see someone lock-in to a noseslide using the little kicktails on that huge ass board Laughing
