Joe Riley. said:FrID bought the plans for razor pro models and the right to make them. yak bought metal cores from SOA and changed the urethane (not 100% sure, could be wrong). standard retro tee bars are actually different depending on the materials used and tig/mig welds. hes not a copy cat on 2 piece bars b/c there is no single person who started making bars and flipped about people copying them b/c those who did were respectful about it.
skateboard decks have variety, too. same shape doesnt mean much. there are varieties of the wood used, shape, and some have plastic in the middle. bmx bars, forks, and other parts are different b/c even though they are similar they are different weights, and there are different sizes/styles for frames, and wheels can be customized and changed.
but liltony's right, this argument is about as gay as the "one madd brake shop." theres obviously more than one of everything. he "copied" sr forks, but they arent as good (says the reviews) so who cares?
sorry i should put more detail as what i state basicly meant this, i know french are working with JD CO which made the first razors, also again skate deck i know the materials are different also process of making them so on, same with scooter bars wheels so on, u really i dont think got my point i was trying to make, if u really really mean it that way, indeed our forks are made different material to SR models Weld is same i thing i dont really know what andrew did to his forks when was processing them i do know he made them to redefine the sport which is what we are trying to
