'02 Hyperlite Belmont DNA
'98 Hyperlite Vero HC (the lunar graphics)
'99 Hyperlite Fluid
'99 Blindside Session
'98 Hyperlite Lavelle HC (the green board). Worked great with his Mountain Dew sponsor.
Also the Neptune Abyss 133. Come to think of it, Dean had some really cool boards.

I'd definatly have to say the Murray's HC board in 98 (with the Bug on it) is my favorite. His "Signature Series" board or the Fluid in 98 with the sun graphics are also awesome. I also think that the 2001 belmont 140 HC was pretty tight. I'm liking the old school graphics more than most of the new ones.
my 2 cents,

Gator edition LF squirt (It had a limited run, its the one with the naked chick on it).
2002 DU Collin Wright 142.

Chris: so I guess you like the Temet 132 they brought back the bug.

Dave, you should make this a new question on the riders poll. Best board graphics of the year, it would be a nice compliment to the artists.

I think my 98 nelson 144 with the sirens on it is the coolest board i've ever seen.

(zleartsu) · (zleartsu) **Join Date: Mar 2004** 03-16-2004, 12:05 PM

I would have to say the 03 Ricky G board from gator!!!!!!!!!

(eljefepequeno)

Favorite of all time would be the 1997 Dean Lavelle HC Blue with the weird looking sun shape
http://www.wakeworld.com/BoardGuide/getboard.asp?boardid=99
Next favorite would be the 1998 Murray HC Pro model with the Bug and the bottom of that thing is just plain awesome.
http://www.wakeworld.com/BoardGuide/getboard.asp?boardid=114
Murray's boards went downhill from there, graphics wise, until the Temet was released. IMHO.

Next one would be the 1999 Drifter HC, another awesome bottom on that one. In fact, I have it hanging in my house as decor.
http://www.wakeworld.com/BoardGuide/getboard.asp?boardid=307
To bad it doesn't show you the bottom.
My favorite one from this year is the Temet 142 Biolite, that thing just rocks.

Yup, that's it, I am trying to talk a friend of mine to hook me up with a 1998 Murray HC he has sitting in his garage. Some people collect Picasso, I collect Hyperlite.

(mike_schwenne) · (mike_schwenne) **Join Date: Nov 2002** 03-17-2004, 2:56 PM

I'd have to say, that waketech gator board above was one of my favorites. Funny this is, the first time I saw it at a marina on the lake, I thought gatorade had started pressing board. I was like "man this sport must be getting huge if they're making boards now" :-)

my favorite graphic is Randalls '03/'04 GB

Didn't skater gator ride for gatorade?

(kristian) · (kristian) **Join Date: Nov 2002** 03-17-2004, 10:23 PM

They had stop making the gator graphic mid production because gatorade brought up a case of copyright. They might not of been involved, but they did notice, that had to of said something about how big the sport was.

Yeah, those gator boards were limited to 1000 decks (supposedly).

They also had t-shirts with that gator logo, but I think they had to change them because of the trademark issue, or whatever it was. I was so bummed too...I had overtons special order the byerly and gator signature t's, and I had to wait a really long time for them. When they finally came, the back of the gator t had the 69 logo and then some sort of line drawing of gator doing a roll to revert or something...I was crushed because the "gatorade" t- would have been so dope...

I herd a lot of rumors about that board. I'm pretty sure they stopped production because Gatorade got pissed. That one is kind of special because its got honeycomb core. Most of them didn't have that. Man I mowed lawns for like three summers to pay my dad back for buying it for me. To bad the Anti-Gravity boots had to rip out, I might still be riding it... But probably not.

I gotta second MattBOB's selection. That '00 Byerly 137 Limited Edition graphic was whoa. And Randall's '00 Thruster. The white one with the chain and the cross pendant on it and the gold lettering WSR. That was a sick graphic. Anybody got that board?

(fullonsalesgrp)

Nobody has said anything about the D-UP boards morris did they were pieces of art. I don't know if this counts but macks work on all the cassettes are top notch ground breaking.

Yeah the original double up nelson, with the 20,000 leages grapic, and the owens with the creature from the black lagoon.

(electricsnow) · (electricsnow) **Join Date: May 2002** 03-19-2004, 7:56 AM

YES! Those double up grafs were dope...I have a promotional graphic that they gave to their dealers...I was able to get it from my snowboard shop because they're good to me. I also like greg's very first graf--it had the alien giving the double up sign. The colin wright smoked monkeys graphic always looked good as well. Honestly, DU could win an award all around becuase most, if not all of their graphics were dope.

And I do have to agree with the cassette work, too.

(kristian) · (kristian) **Join Date: Nov 2002** 03-19-2004, 8:05 AM

Oh, Greg's alien one was dope.
Colin Wrights 2000 graphic arecool aswell
I mentioned somewhere up there about the 2002 colin/pro 142. Skeletree also. the 2001 soul board were sick aswell. Nelson dead fish, one of my favs. I'll stop now before I name every DU Board.
