companies that Jack (copy) parts.

[R-Dubya]

Blazer is a company known to copy every part they can get their hands on, it's no surprise.

 

[heyhey]

[christianewing]

i think this thread is BS. people are gunna copy, and its to be expected in a sportlike this. ppl need to stop tripping over this ish

this is the truth.

Why are people arguing over lucky copying the pry bars...there are like 30 different companies that made T-bars. So is every company copying each other? Most of them are all called "T-Bars" too.

Inward

Lucky

Razor

HardLine

ProRide

And many more...

T bars are the most common part in the scooter world, i dont even think that counts

It doesn't make sense to say that at all. T bars are only the most common part in the scooter world because every company copies the design...

because its the most basic, its square one for all companies, technically the first razor bars even the ones that were raisable were technically t bars.

All you kids arguing can easily agree on one thing:

Lucky copied RAD's crowbars.

Lucky told me at Exposed tour:
"We wanted to make crow look a likes, but we want to make them more accesible. R.A.D never put's out enough inventory, to keep the distributers stocked. So we made some Like Crows for people to buy if Crows go out of Stock."

t bars are the staple design, its 2 pipes welded together. its the simple standard, once you start getting into more complicated and original ideas, then copies become an issue.

like if a company made a 2.4 liter 4 cyl engine, its standard, so it wont matter. but then if a company makes a 2.4 liter 4 cyl engine that relies on variable valve timing to increase performance and fuel efficiency and calls it wtec (that's the idea behind vtec for people who dont know), then it's a lot bigger deal.

he worded that wrong. t bars are the staple design, its 2 pipes welded together. its the simple standard, once you start getting into more complicated and original ideas, then copies become an issue.

I agree with this totally, but in some cases copying is actually understandable. Let me use the example of Blunt. Their Mr Smith bars are almost complete copies of Lucky NW bars, however, they are Brendon Smith's signature bars, which means that he obviously liked the design, and figured that if they were his signature bar, Blunt could make some for him when he needed them. It would also make that design more accessible in the AUS.

Blazer will sell because they did the one thing Proto didnt, sell in/to Australia.

Did I miss something, you can buy Proto parts in Australia ??????

 

[Dylan Crane]

its copied stuff that arent as good tho

 

[Spicy McHaggis]

so all bike companies and skateboard companies all copy each other?

 

[Spicy McHaggis]

and dude talking about cars. Nissan was the first car company to invent variable valve timing but they didn't call it vtec it was something else but honda perfected it so much better
