Everyone thinks there's an Anti Hyperlile Army out there. I for one have ridden all of their skates(including the revolutionary GATE) and I was Not Impressed. Maybe there is an army because some people know what is legit,...and whats just Hype.......Go nollie off a double-up.

no Kyle, your question should be "where would wakeskating be without CASSETTE/Horrell."

I dont see why you guys hate hyperlite so much. Sure I personally dont like their boards, but its not because of their name. Atleast they are doing their own thing, unlike some other companies such as that triple digit one.

They hold up better than any cassete deck cuz they are all wooden. I have not had a cassete that has lasted me more than a season and I can't even ride all year around. W/ compressed boards, not just hyperlite, they hold up much better than any wood board. I know hyperlite makes wood boards but that is just to get them in the sport. Cuz the price range.

i dunno there boards arent that bad, i can do all the same tricks on them same as a wood, but wood decks are still better

Schmaltz, your just being modest, a better question would be "where would it be without schmaltz/horrel?

gorath112 · Posted: May 27, 2004 12:12 am Post subject:

Grouch, do you know why i "love hyperlite" because their boards wont get soggy, i have nothing against wood because i have a scape and it is just fine, but when your board warps and the paint starts to come off, and then your company has stop production, and get their crap together, i have a hard time supporting their product, no offense to anyone who likes cassette and whatever companies are out their know, i like hyperlite because they seem to know what works and what doesnt, and they stand behind their work

gorath112, i think thats a fair point to make about how they stand behind their product moreso then some other companies...thats something for people to keep in mind as far as customer service is applied

erikn, i have a hunch that if it wasn't for you, wakeskating would be exactly where it is right now...

and yeah, to answer the dude's question- there really is an anti-hyperlite army out there. i saw them when i was at the irvine pwt last year- they were trying to take down the hyperlite booth by eating away at its metal supports. man those guys are bad. they are kinda like the underwear gnomes, but organized much better because they do not lack a phase 2 of their plan, thus making them a much more effective "crime fighting machine" (as they so eloquently put it).
