just in case anyone wants to know..... on December 12, 2005, cassette wakeskates went out of bussiness.. I know that this sucks but from the first making of the 2005 bi-levels, thomas was in way to much debt and finally declared that he is out of production.....

wtf pos? looks like everyone is just jumpin on the wakeskate bandwagon. can't they see wut happened to Cassette? i love the sport and no hate wutsoever but from the business aspect how many different companies can this sport support? i know support R.O.C but which one? Integrity, Oak, L13, Omen, Distortion, Tractor, Liberation,Sattelyte, Classic, Kampus(if they still exist)....not to mention the LC's Hype, LF, CWB, Gator

bigpimpinalberta, POS was more of a local project to help keep "n00bs" from buying hyperlite.

On the same note, I completely understand what you are saying and I think that it will be really hard for these companies to last if they do nothing to distinguish themselves from the plethora of other small rider owned companies that keep popping up out there. Again, at least it gives riders plenty options other than "which hype or LF should i buy?".

While it is true Cassette has had fincial problems as well as production. And it is true 06 production was halted but it does not mean Cassette is done................
There are still several things that can happen so just hold on to your yappers.
Things like ownership may change but the ideas and the drive for artistic expression will continue.

yea are they bankrupt or just 'out of business' for a little while... i bet he keeps the company title and corporation registered so that he can maybe get back into it after the shiit settles
