4. What year did Cassette enter the market?

1999

5. What is Cassette's demise attributed to?

Cassette's demise is attributed to a few years of poor production due to manufacturing errors. Many wakeskates during this time were not properly laminated and were made using a non-waterproof glue; causing the boards to absorb water and causing the the boards to become warped and weak. Cassette's savior idea, the bi-level wakeskate, was not immune to these setbacks. While Cassette's design is regarded as one of the best bi-levels among hard core riders, delamination issues were experienced with the first batch of top decks. This put the company in a tough position with warranties.

6. Which fast food chains also apparently sell wakeskates?

McDonalds & Wendy from Wendy's

7. Why has wakeskating become more "urbanized?"

Wakeskating, has in recent times become more and more urbanized due to the advent of the "winch."
