Anybody who has been to ASR will attest to the fact that a lot of cockeyed ideas can and will make a brief appearance in the light of day before becoming eternal residents of the cosmic dustbin. Ultra-specialized items designed for once in a lifetime conditions, useless gadgetry, supposed performance enhancers that simply beg the question: WHY? Fortunately enough, most of these items have a very short shelf life and are easily forgotten as they rightly should be. Having poured every last penny into R&D and small-time production, the "inventors" of these products are usually left licking their wounds, while dodging the calls of their creditors, and faced with the prospect of having to change their names and possibly their faces if they ever want to enter "the scene" again under any circumstance. With a marketing budget of nil, they had no way to infest your inbox with high tech guerilla and viral marketing ploys. They might pony up the cash for a one time only, 1/4 page ad in a magazine, usually one that refuses to run the ads of companies making a real shoe for real skateboarding while embracing these entrepreneurial crackpots and their ill-conceived products. "If you're bombing a 13 degree hill, facing southeast, at 6:12 P.M., with a 4 knot tailwind in the western hemisphere, boy, do we have a truck for you!!!" The funny thing is, such specialized products would never enhance the skateboarding performance of the knuckleheads who would buy such claims and gamble a sizable pile of cash on them, hoping to find that higher stoke. They simply don't have enough south of their belts to begin with.
Fortunately such neck-wringing games of mental horseshoes have always been relegated to the gear kook pages of the aforementioned brand of publication.
products hit the market every day...some are kooky, some are really kooky...but in bashing this product they some how have to paint a wide brush....not sure why...
the more folks bash the "gear kook pages of the aforementioned brand of publication" the more our circulation grows and oddly enough, the more people begin trying different types of skateboarding.
