And when I posted a comment saying they're ripoffs he deleted it

This makes me kinda mad that he's selling parts for the same price that look the same but probably snap really easy. And the only video of someone riding it on there is some like 8 year old doing a flyout tailwhip. He's just copying other parts. Is this illegal at all?

it is only illegal if there are patents out for any of those parts I believe. I might be wrong though.

They actually don't look that good, but it kinda sucks that stupid no name companies like this show up on ebay and stuff ripping off other companys and selling crap products. People outside of the scootering scene can't know and will just think all scooter companies are like this. Which is totally false.

they're a UK company and the decks are the same a TSI's but theres not much you can change about a deck.

The company is thriving with success at the moment, and anyway, the pro hd fork isnt exactly the same as the sr fork and the invard forks have different gussets.

so leave it yeah

slayer bars? much!?
Click to expand...

er no.
slayers have round gussets and a proto badge welted into the hole at the top of the bar.
invert bars have rectangular gussets and just have a hole

once again...
most different ways of producing a bar have already been covered by other companies so its all about slightly ajusting previous designs to make i their own.




Everyone stop hating
they are doing good.

well I think lucky did a pretty good job at inventing a new concept for a deck... theres planty of ways to make a deck!

But yeah, I can understand it having success in the UK, since there are not tons of people that know about all the american scooter parts.

I think they couldve found a better name though... invert sounds to much like inward.

you have NO IDEA what you're talking about. at all

you can do soo many different things with decks. the welds are too small on the forks to even argue. have fun snaping the welds on a 360.

^ shut up
in case you cant read
it says on their website "invisible welds" so that is intentional

and actually there isnt much you can change about the deck apart from the base of the frame but not much

As far as redesigning parts, look at addict. They are a pretty new company yet their designs are out of this world and original with their bars and decks. Not gonna lie,though, if they were in the U.S. I would probably order from them since I am a penny pincher. Not the forks though maybe the deck or bars.

the deck itself, millions of ways to make one/ get an extrusion like razor and phoenix. they used 2 square tubes like tsi.

neck- could have done something different, id personally like to see triangle headtubes, they have it right in the same place tsi has theirs.

baseplates too.

its a complete knockoff company.

i see what your trying to say but the thing is is that they are doing quite well and nobody in the UK (their actual customers) considers them a ripoff

you cant get proto bars over here so they made their own version

simplez.

Wee.

It looks like a bunch of rip off crap, the welds look weak, and they're un-original.
I wouldn't buy shit off them.
