Brutal man, sorry to hear that. Our little concrete park is exactly that, super tiny but great for scootering. This is one of those "cool story bro" comment moments, but here goes anyhow.

This park is actually the reason why my buddy and I, who as far as I can tell are the only scooter riders in our town of Erie, Pennsylvania started riding. We were both lifelong bmx riders, but when this little park was first built in 2009 it was no bikes allowed, so we pulled out "the old razors" and it's gone from there. Crazy how your riding opportunities shape stuff like that.
Anyhow, I'm going to start a separate thread and try and get 10 people to commit to wanting some extenders and I'll make a batch. I've seen enough people in the last two weeks asking about bar extenders I've seen either in the your scooter thread or otherwise with interest that I can see it being popular. I look at it as its a lot cheaper to spend 15 bucks on a set of extenders for a pair of bars you love than to spend 80-100 for a new pair.

I don't like the bump in your grips from the bolt

No doubt man, poorly placed. After Installing them I decided that the best place for the bolt would be the area on the back / bottom of the bar between your pinky finger and palm where you would never see it or feel it. Hey, that's what we prototype shit for. I'm going to re-drill my bars tomorrow at work.

Dude seriously id put this idea out to a company and make $$

I think if a company wanted to make them, they'd just take my idea and me it their own as opposed to contacting me which stinks but is a reality. And I would think if I sent any emails out, I wouldn't hear back. It is see the parts a few months later ;-)
