RUSSIAN, that sounds like hyperlite for ya doesnt it? well before they shut down all production, they will come out with a parks wakeskate, because then everybody will turn good at wakeskating, just because it says parks.

everyone would buy those because obviously parks is a leading face in the wakeskating industry Laughing

YAY!!! Another Hyperlite bashing thread!!!!!!!!!

Anyways the impulse doesn't look that bad. I noticed that the skate looks more like a real skateboard with the tip and tail having pop then a huge flat spot in between.

actually you guys are all very wrong about the new boards i have got one in the mail the other day and it is absoulutely by far the best shaped board i have ever ridden. it has some thing done to the bottom that i'm not sure i'm suppose to discuss but when you ride it you will feel it. and smaltz are you saying that the foam is the concave on these boards? um because its not at all i dont really know why they took pictures with the foam but the concave is more of taht of a skateboard. just wait they will be out soon!

Hey. You ride what you ride. Joey is a hell of a good rider, and he rides a liquid force board. I don't like Hyperlite, plain and simple, we're all gonna have companies we don't like.

And Joey, integritys are really good skates (so I've heard) with an original shape from an original, rider owned company. That's why everyone likes them (including me). You know it's a good product when it's tested and made by the riders, it's just a good feeling.

Personally I don't care whether Liquid Force copied Cassette or not. That's business. They paid good money for molds of a skate that work. And who knows, maybe Liquid Force's new designs will be just crazy awesome.

Joey White, an integrity is plain sick, just look at the design and you oughta know how bad ass it is. The concave is amazing on it, its all set up for the real wakeskater, so buy your corporate original wannabes and question the minority companies who do something for the sport instead of spending the money they got from newbs who didnt know what they are buying to buy molds from an innovative company and then slap their name on it and say hey we made this new skate that cassette made last season(BUT WE HAVE NEW GRAPHICS!!), its awesome give us 200 bucks and you'll be dissapointed...

and by the way i just read this also. about liquid force canceling their line of skates.volcom_wakeboarder, what kind of comment is that your an idiot liquid force and hyperlite do a lot to help push the sport of wakeskating and just because you dont like the way shape their boards that they should cancel their line. wow thats pretty genius of you. and by the way liquid force and hyperlite make a lot of money selling wakeskating and is that bad. no all it mean is that there are more wakeskates being sold and more people are getting into the sport of wakeskating. think before you post buddy.

logan · Frontside 180 Joined: 26 Apr 2004 Posts: 437

Joey White, more wakeskates being sold, EXACTLY! Thats what they focus on, board sales, NOT PERFORMANCE, have you ridden a hyperlite deck? They suck way too light. They should cancel their wakeskate line, LF at least is gettin a mold of a good skate and remakin it. But Hyperlite makes crap. I would rather support a company with me in mind, rather than their wallet. Ask schmalz what he cares more about, the performance of his skates to make his customers happy, or how many decks he sells.

volcom_wakeboarder, Put yourself in this situation. You are Liquid Force. A company you distributed for has wildly successful designs (Cassette). You have the money to buy their molds, which you know are tried and tested to be awesome, and make profit. Don't get me wrong, I love original companies, but original companies take a business risk, what if no one likes their designs, or they pull a 2004 Cassette? LF made a business decision that was pretty much risk-free.

Hell I don't like hyperlite, you don't like hyperlite, but apparently Grubb and Byerly can make the shizzle happen on the hyperlite boards, so there can't be TOO much wrong with them. I don't like them, but you can't blame them for wanting to stay in business.

Joey White · Pop Shuvit Joined: 15 Sep 2003 Posts: 172 City: Phoenix

ok i will ask that to smaltz. how can you have an approach to go into a buisness and plan on not making money. i believe he wants his customers to be happy but what kind of company doesnt . you think that hyperlite makes their boards and thinks hey these suck but they will make us money. (i'm sure someone as yourself belives this to be true) but no they dont no company goes in thinking that. and mr. real wakeskater thats you volcom_wakeboarder why are integrity's concave soo sick?

logan · Frontside 180 Joined: 26 Apr 2004 Posts: 437

Morphine, you are right and I dont blame them for wanting to stay in business, but they aren't makin as good as stuff as they could with the amount of money they have.

Joey White, Im not saying they go in makin a sucky product, but what Im saying is they are worried more about makin money, then gettin all they can outta there boards. Im not saying they dont go into make money, of course they do, but some companies believe it or not, are there for the rider, WOW! The Integrity concave is so sick because its like more of a skate deck style look to it, check this pic out and you will see what I mean.

I ride a LF, I really like it but the integritys look cool too....

volcom_wakeboarder, i agree with some of your points but your worshippig integrity too hard and dissing LF too hard. obviously they are interested in the money but i believe they are interested in the rider too. i could be wrong but these '05s look original, could be wrong... basically what im saying is that your arguement is overbearing and unreasonable. the integrity is awesome and the LFs have little respect in the industry, but if these boards are in fact original, that at least shows that they are interested in what we think and want. i like the way these boards look and i might want to demo them to see how hey ride... my 2¢
