For real, it was nice to poke around. Not everything works, but you get the picture.

It's just most of the 2004 cassette wakeskates site. For those who are crippled by nostalgia... Laughing

So I don't really know what the story with cassette is. Whur'd they go?

electricsnow, Do you have all the downlaods and wallpapers from 2004 that we are missing from the site?

electricsnow, Nostalgic !!

you can find other versions on the webarchive,
but none of them are near complete, most cases only the first page,
but it always worth seeing.... :

dudufigueiredo, amazing finds! The second to last one links up to the old wakeskating.com front page and message board.

Lollar, I don't have any of the old desktop images. I don't remember if they ever even worked, or if I didn't like them, or whatever the case may be.

TTUFAN24, all in all, I'm pretty satisfied with what's there. It was just cool to revisit...scroll over all of the team dude's faces and you get those quotes as well. Laughing

And the board images are actual shots of the boards...whatever, I dig! Cool

I would love to take the 40 asym out for a spin, anyone have one?

electricsnow, i'm down. pretty sure the screen savers never worked or i would of had one. i would assume anyway. i was just saying that site never really worked that well, but still worth the visit back then and now. how did you find that?

I just did a websearch for cassette wakeskates and WHAMMY! It was awesome. It kept me occupied for a bit. Laughing

EDIT: Mattc, the search function can be a little tricky. Make sure if you have more than one word and you want your search to be reasonably specific, check the option that looks for those exact words (as in, both words have to be present in the post and not just one or the other). You kind of have to know what you're looking for when you search...sometimes it will pull up a lot of stuff.

I guess i'm surprised you aren't familiar with cassette, but it was a company and group of riders that had a huge impact on wakeskating and how it is today. They released a lot of technology for wakeskating, like the first wood concaves, asymmetrical decks, 4-trac fin configuration for nose slides, blunts, mannuals, etc, and of course, the bi-level. They're currently not making boards (which is why a search is worth while, specifically on the bi-levels and maybe even the 04 line).

Also, there's an interview with thomas horrell in the "history" link on the front page.
