they had one a loooong time ago, Murray had it as a pre cursor to the gate design, it was way different than the cassette one, and like I said it eventually evolved into a gate

i glued my CWB lucky onto some wood blocks and mounted it on top of my Gate. i have the best board ever now. the ride of wood, the snap of the bi-level, the durability of compression molded, a board that is about as useful as a topic that has been done 500 times.

Just what is wrong with Kent Sporting Goods? They're a big company, is that what you have against them? If that's the only reason, you mind as well KILL YOURSELFS as pirate said, because you support big corporations everyday. How can you sit on your Windows operated computer hating companies purely because they are large and dominant? I'd say that's the definition of irony

nu uh s34n, this is the definition or irony

i·ro·ny

The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning.
An expression or utterance marked by a deliberate contrast between apparent and intended meaning.

Laughing

just messing.... I agree with you tho

s34n, it's about options:

you can either support a big corporate company like KENT and get a half decent board, or support rider owned Co and get an amizing deck...

On computers it's different, you don't have much of a choice but to use Micro$oft shizzle... Other options are less viable: linux, too complicated, not many use it, and Apple well it rocks, but doesn't have enoug softs and costs more. And even on a Mac you would still be using Micro$oft shizzle like Office or IE most likely.

Being a consumer is buying the right thing. The gov job is to let everyone have MANY different options, and be informed about them.

exemple: If you knew that the frickin mutant chicken you are buying at Vons for let's say $5 went from egg to your supermarket in less than 30 days you maybe wouldn't buy it... !!! Scientists over the world even decided they should make a new race for those mutant fast growing chickens damnit lol

Oh and once cooked your mutant-waterloged-chicken will weigh as much as a 1/4th of a genuinely bred chicken that will cost maybe $10. Same goes for so many other things.

So if you know what you are buying you can consume better.

And I bet you can even relate that in a way in the wakeskating industry. Kent imposes a tasteless format, rider owned Co inspire people and do it for the love of the sport, not the love of the green.

where is the irony now? Rolling Eyes

nah, that's not real irony, thats just... alanis morisette irony.

s34n, please don't tell me you're a mac user.

s34n, They own everything. they tell you who's good and what boards are good, you only get to see the riders "they say" are good enough. And they will never push the sport because they are competing against themselves. hype doesn't need to make something better then LF because in the end your going to buy one or the other and they win either way.... thats whats wrong with it. now do as i first instructed.
