I just tlaked to a person at hyperlite and found out some new info.... hyperlite is changing A LOT this year..... Every 2005 Hyperlite binding is goin to change... there changing all the styles, materials and other stuff. Some of the names wont change though. There are only a few Hyperlite boards staying the same which are the Byerly, Premier, Temet and maybe the Era (but the era is probably goin bye bye too). They are changing all the shapes for the rest of the board including, YES, the Parks. Also changing the TFD and like I said the ERa could change too. Also look forward for some all new performance boards that are sick as hell! Back to bindings, The new materials they use are suppost to blow the rest of the competition out of the water and put Hyperlite more ahead of the rest... like seriosuly, 2005 for Hyperlite is going to raise the bar for all wake companies from now on..... If you want to get a look at a new binding, Theres is a picture that should not have been released on page 32 of Alliance Wakeboard Mag... its a magazine add with danny hard demoing one of the new bindigs... The guy at hyperlite said he didnt know anybody had one of those pictures and he said it sounded to him liek the new temet from what I said cuz he didnt have the magazine ot look at.... so thats all teh news I got.. <BR>later, <BR>Chris

When do you think all the new 2005 Hyperlite Models with come out??

Snow??? <BR>nevermind....

who's danny hard? <BR> <BR>i don't mean to rip on hyperlite...they make good products, but the new design that will put them ahead of the rest, is it anything like the bottle opener divots in the byerly?

btw, scan and post the pic you mentioned. thx.

JOE.....u havnt heard of Danny Hard?!?!?... hes only the biggest pornstar wakebaorder....lol.. and ill scan it later if I get a chance.... and yeah No one knows why they are keeping the byerly... not even the hyperlite rep i talked to... he said he thinks its just cuz byerly like it! <BR> <BR> <BR>New models should be out sometime around the end of August

Some of the new models are out already. Check out our photo gallery from the Irvine Tour Stop later this week or early next week. The Era is definitely a redesign because I've seen one, but I couldn't take pics of it. <BR> <BR>Shaun Murray said that the Temet name is dead and all of his pro model stuff will be called Murray this year, but that was a few months ago, so it may have changed. <BR> <BR>That pic you're talking about is a shot of Harf with one Byerly on his left foot and something new on his right. It's got the Boa system on the top of the foot, but you can't see much more than that.

yup tahts the one.... the guy at hyperlite says that maybe the new temet... looks like it would be a pretty good binding

hey for joe umali. i have the new byerly with "the bottle openers".and its the sweetest thing ever.its so fast and responsive.dont bust on stuff if u dont kno wut ur talking about

Oh dear..

wut makes you think i dont kno wut im talking about? <BR> <BR>dont get all bent cause i didnt like wut u happen to ride.

i kno u have no idea uwt ur talking about bcuz u called them bottle openers?leads me to belive u dont even ride???

Crap, I'm in the market for new bindings. So does anyone know when the new ones come out? I guess I can find out at the shop but still, if the Byerly's are changing I want to know! <BR> <BR>The board on the other hand is a different story. If they replaced it with a worn out 2X4 I think it may ride better than the current shape <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/crazy.gif" border=0>

i called them bottle openers bcuz to me, the older byerlys rode so much better, and that the indents did nothing but speed it up a bit. not much, a bit...not sumthing an everyday rider would feel. <BR> <BR>u cant type which leads me to belive ur dumb.

Mitchell you are exactly the type of person they built that board for. <BR> <BR>unfortunately you make up about 96% of the wakeboard community.

BLABELMOOCH: The byerly bindings are deffienetly changing... and the new ones wont be out till end of august... but ullprobably want the new ones.... and your deffiently right about the byerly..... its horrible! <BR>OK i dont know how to upload my image in here... I cnat paste it in... how do you do this... I have the pic of hte new boot on my computer but I cantpost it... <BR>Thanks

email to me and i'll post.

If I had a scanner I would post... <BR> <BR>Thanks Chris. <BR> <BR>Hope the old bindings hold up that long. With how much riding I've been doing I;m sure they will.

blabelmooch, hook me up w/ one of those sans!

why did I get thanked.... im confused.... Joe I am emailing you the pics right now!

"BLABELMOOCH: The byerly bindings are definitely changing... and the new ones wont be out till end of august." <BR> <BR>That's why. <BR> <BR>Joe, get in line! <BR> <BR>(Message edited by blabel on July 21, 2004)

It's labeled as Danny Hampson. When did he start wearing bindings? <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0>

hahahahahaha!!!

I noticed that misprint in the new Alliance. I thought that was funny. The picture does actually look a little bit like Danny Hampson to me. <BR> <BR>I've seen the new Era. I will say that Joe will rip on that thing harder than he ever did the Byerly.

oh boy. bring it to me!

y is that guy sportin 2 different types of bindings?? and is that new binding gold?

I love goooooolllllldddd. <BR>The schmell of it, the taste of it.... <BR> <BR> <BR>anyone....????

i'm still wondering why he is wearing two different bindings

He's trying to start a new trend. I can see it now: <BR> <BR>Parks will wear two different bindings then about 5 million of his followers will start doing it too. People will even come up with how it makes them ride better.

way to sell 2 pairs of bindings instead one one

Dud, u kneed to hav 2 difrent colerd bindigs to now wen u r riding switch! <BR> <BR>I was at the PWT &amp; almost fell over when the kid at the Hyperlite booth was freaking out about how great the new graphics were on the new Byerly &amp; Premier. He was a little too excited over the whole deal. New Absolute...now there's something to be excited about. (I'm a whore &amp; I know it)

cwb will take the cake next year on bindings...and boards....

He's riding two different bindings because they gave him a pair of the new ones, but one of the BOA systems already broke! <BR> <BR>j/k, I like HL, but I just couldn't let that one slip by..

YA i agree CWB ROX!

Hey well see.... CWB is just guna copy again and make the CWB lovers think its theirs! Like the Transcend, now CWB lovers tell me this, Which hyperlite board does that look like.... o wait a minute, its only a replacation of the parks.... so they will probably do the same thing with bindings and the rest of the boards..... actualy u know wut might happen, all the boards that HL drops this year CWB will pick up...lol... but wither way both companies are good strong companies and are competing for teh best... seems like Hyperlite is pullin away...lol <BR>

<i>i kno u have no idea uwt ur talking about bcuz u called them bottle openers?leads me to belive u dont even ride???</i> <BR> <BR>I swear....Looks like everyone is logging on as someone else just to bust people's chops. I'm still trying to figure out who Turkish is. <BR> <BR>

<blockquote><hr size=0><!-quote-!><font size=1><b>quote:</b></font><p>CWB is just guna copy again and make the CWB lovers think its theirs!<!-/quote-!><hr size=0></blockquote> <BR> <BR>hey, that sounds exactly like hyperlite stealing badass molds and saying it's theirs!

is that tru? hyperlite and badass molds... one of my boys has a badass 135 I think and it is one of favorite boards I have ever ridden. so fun. I ride a byerly(01) and I would say the badass is great. The new byerly...."board that doubles as a bottle opener....priceless" yea it does suck! I'm sorry to all the peeps who think that innovations like that really work but to me the board felt real slow. the center spine is too exagerated and I really had to push this board around the lake. The pop even feels less aggressive than the older boards. In my opinion the 03 byerly's were the epitome of his shapes. I bet mitchell would buy a snowboard with brakes if they ever came out with one.

CWB Dominates every year. September is going to be an exciting month...i can't wait to see what each company will do. The Absolute is going to be in the same 2 Sizes as it was this year and I hear its smooooooooooth.

Ah lohk Fords, so piss on yore Chevy!! <BR>Oh yeah, wale Ford manes "fownded on the rode dead!" <BR> <BR>Yawn...

FOTRD?

ringo, yes, it's true. <BR> <BR>mango, dominates? dominates what? do you have links to back that statement?

Hey guys....I'm just gonna throw this one out, but Harf has a bad right ankle. He used to claim the only binding that gave him enough support was the highback (that was last year). I'm kinda curious if that binding is a one off to make it so he can ride. If you look at the upper portion of the binding it looks like a hinged support. Other than that, it pretty much looks like a late term abortion. <BR> <BR>I'm excited for the '05's to come out too. I can't wait to see what the next era is all about. Stoked to hear about some new bindings, too. Hopefully they'll actually make something that lasts more than a few weeks. I'm such a board whore, I just can wait to get something new. Those '04's are just so.....'04. HE, HE.

Chris, Have you even seen a Transcend?? It doesn't look anything like a Parks, top or bottom. Nor does it ride like a Parks. You have no idea what you're talking about. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by jarrod on July 22, 2004)

Who isn't hurt right now?

Hey guys, I heard from my dealer that Hyperlite is taking all manufacturing to China. Maybe this is the reason for all the changes? They probably have to create new molds for a new plant anyway, right? I don't know anything about this, just wondering if anyone else does.

Yeah, I have never ridden either of those boards. But just from looking at the specs, it doesnt look like a copy to me.

That's the first time I've ever heard anyone compare the Transcend to the Parks because they aren't even close.

WAIT WAIT WAIT! The 138's are both black and red!LOL

that's almost as bad as comparing a Byerly to a Tubelite.

Does anyone know what sizes the 05 ricky g is going to come in??

Is there a cure for herpes yet?

lol y did u say that

132, 138, 142

o that sooo good omg im excited finnaly a board that i tottaly want and the perfect size for me thanks for answering my question... but how did u find that out??

GB rep this morning

I don't think HL had a choice on the bindings thing... LF really brought out some sweet bingings this year. As long as the companies keep pushing each other over the top I have no complaints...

because your question was out of context

toolfan - you know when they're going to ship?

supposedly today. but as of noon today, they arent ready for shipment. it may be tommorrow. a guy at GB is gonna give me a heads up as soon as they are ready to ship. i'll keep ya posted.

<a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;category=47363&amp;item =3690335077&amp;rd=1" target="_blank">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;category=47363&amp;item =3690335077&amp;rd=1</a> <BR> <BR>look what i found while searching for old byerly boards.

woah nice find! <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/blush.gif" border=0>

they need to come out with a run of their 2001 finless boards. I'd buy a bunch of them for myself.

Too bad he has no feedback.

That CWB copying line was great!! Haha, that is one of the funniest things I've ever heard! CWB is one of few companies that every year updates it's proven boards. The Absolute has been great every year it's been produced &amp; they just keep making it better. As for their bindings being a copy, I can see where the Boss looks kinda like the Parks, but all you have to do is hop in them &amp; realize that they are better. The Transcend is way more forgiving than the Parks and has far better landings. I like!

the new era is at wakesports 137, 142 sick sick sick

at where... is it a website, if so can u give me it <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/proud.gif" border=0>

Johnny - <a href="http://www.wakesports.com" target="_blank">www.wakesports.com</a>

wheres the new era??

Hey Stephen are you a CWB rep or something. Do you remember when they pretty much used the same style of graphics as Liquid Force, but that is besides the point. Who cares who copies who. You ride what you like and that is the way it is. Hey R.J. does Wakesports have the new Byerly's or the new Era's. I know the new Byerly's are out. Everyone needs to take a deep breath and relax. <BR> <BR>

Can anyone describe the graphics on the new Byerlys? Lenny, have you seen them? Thanks.

The board is all white on top and has a cool Byerly logo (I think it is cool) and on the bottom it has a clock with this crazy demented face below it. Probably going to have look at it like one of those 3D posters in order to get the meaning. That is the bottom of the 137. I heard all of the boards in the series have white top sheets. Super clean looking. <BR> <BR>

you can buy the 2005 byerly board at <a href="http://www.grrizzly-sports.com" target="_blank">www.grrizzly-sports.com</a>

crap, i spelled grizzly wrong, its <a href="http://www.grizzly-sports.com" target="_blank">www.grizzly-sports.com</a> <BR>

I cant believe nobody dragged liquid force into the mix, and if Hyperlite can top LF's bindings, I salute hyperlite because I am a hyperlite boy and they are BEHIND the game right now. I ride 3060s and byerlys for bindings and they SUCK compared to the Alphas that I rode the other day, and the alphas can be had for 200 at wakeside or buywake... i forget which store, 200! for new bindings thats unreal. I also rode the nemesis 131... coming from riding a 140 for the past 3 years that board rides huge and lands soft and pops easy, a little to grippy for me with the center fins but hey whatever. <BR>People need to pull their heads out of their @sses and look at other companies because I think Hype gets too hyped and my next setup will most likely be LF or CWB unless Hype can BLOW my mind... if they dont blow everyone elses first... <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/uhoh.gif" border=0> <BR>LF boards and bindings are where its at... and I can't wait for that sht to go on closeout IF theres any of it left at stores because those are the most comfortable supportive, easy in, easy out(when I want) bindings on the market, period <BR> <BR>-Duane (poor college student)

duane when u rode the nemesis was it easy to get speed while going at the wake?? and did u ride the 2004 nemesis ot the 2005??
