Right now i only have stickers, but next im going to do T-shirts, and after that scooter and bike parts. I want to gather up a team of some sorts but the company is not at that level yet. i hope you'll like us on facebook

Nice mate. Hope it goes well for you. What would you make scooter wise?

 

[ryanlikespogo]

bars, decks, pegs, wheels if it gets big enough, clamps, forks.
for bmx id make handlebars, frames.
more things as it gets bigger (if it get bigger)
i was thinking grips maybe but i dont know how you make em.

 

[michaelchavez]

not be a dick, but unless youre rich, youre company gets super huge or you buy oem wheels, wheels are out of the picture. good luck tho

 

[ryanlikespogo]

Ya that's why I said if it get bigger cause you have to have a urathene pourer witch cost thousands and also you have to make cores. I'll leave the wheels to proto and eagle

i have already designed some parts, and when i say "after" i mean when or if the company gets of the ground, and are you saying a person my age cannot design things on autodesk inventor program? well i can.

 

[Nick Baker]

hey if you make it thats awesome
but im just saying everyone goes through that "im gonna start a company" stage. you'll grow out of it

I suggest doing what I did starting Torn. I had an idea, got it prototyped, THEN toy'd around with the idea of starting a company. Next you should write a business plan and take some business classes. And you say you have money, but it takes wayyyy more than I ever thought it would to do all of this stuff (prototyping, production, ect). That's why with Torn, I don't pay myself (I have another job). All the money made from Torn goes back into making new, better parts.

This is great advice to anyone starting any company!! Development is the key to success with products, have an idea, make a prototype then test, test, test and develop it.
Good luck

what they said is so true but all kids want to do when "making a company" is the creative end. they just want to design logos and make shirts.

And starting a company with stickers and T shirts is a horrible idea if you plan on making parts. Parts first, then merch so people can rep your company because of how awesome the parts are.

Exactly. By the way, I went through 3 prototypes and a year and a half of testing to make sure Torn bars were just right. And I still haven't made production shirts and stickers.

 

[ryanlikespogo]

Well stickers are the the cheapest ways of getting your name out there.
I was thinking about making some prototype bars that have 4 degrees backsweep and I call them. " aleinanators" lol Use your imagination to see what that looks like

If you want to make a company you will probably have to get people to invest in your company to get the money for it, and people probably won't invest unless you look professional.

 

[Jeremy Dalgliesh]

goodluck, but if your tryna get rich off it or make lots of money well you wont so yea

 

[james blott]

Good luck
And i could test some parts i have cracked my like right through the deck and it's bending so i will be happy to test

 

[Nick Baker]

if your gonna make anything, make backsweep t bars
