Actually upon googling I found out a lot of things use forza as a part of the name
My bad.

still pretty unoriginal though

forza means "force" in italian, dom is italian = a pretty creative and cool name.

dom i love it man congrats.

Forza.

In b4 lawsuit.

Forza is just Italian but the whole rip off of the Godfather could get them in copyright trouble.

The Cross Puppeteer is a piece of Copyright protected Design/Art work.


..and before anyone get all twisted about Copyright blah blah blah.. This isn't posting up a video using a song

it is no different than me taking Dom's deck design and using it as my own...

Edit: just realized he only uses the Cross in his Sig Graphic, not on the Deck so... never mind... the Type Face is not Copyright protected since it is just a Type Face/Font

Bar extenders. Pretty good, only bad thing is that since its a peg, its flat on one side, so it looks funny with the grips on but whatever.

They don't budge. At all. Like, seriously. I have to take the grip off and whack the bars on the ground a few times, and it pops out.

get a peice of pipe that fits inside of your bars, wrap the shit out of it with duct tape and hammer it into your bars half way, and then get old razor collapsible bars and put it on the other half..it works perffff i will see if i can get a picture.

What he said.
The marionette handle is not on the deck.
"Forza" is Italian for "force". It wasn't a word made up for the video game.
The Godfather font is also meant to be a reference to my heritage. If I had just made up a font, it wouldn't have much meaning behind it other than it looking cool.
The font could be considered "unoriginal", but that's not an uncommon thing. These type of ideas are used in skateboarding/BMX all the time.

Three pages from a magazine, and I've already found this.

Actually the Cross is owned by the Book's Publishing company- the Book was First, then the Film.

You would be surprised at the tenacity of these large Corporations towards little companies.



A little History fer ya- it is in the Constitution, our Founding Fathers thought enough of the Creative process to give it protection, thus all Copyright cases go to Federal Court. Now go impress your History Teacher

[Griffiths007]

They are actually pretty cool. What are those orange plugs for in the tdi holes?

 

[Chris Vincent]

[Juan.]

[Robert Reichley]

[Dewey]

[Juan.]

The grind plates look like they would work well on rails, but get shredded on ledges.

They do work well on ledges also.
I have been making them from a material called VESCONITE which looks and feels like a plastic but is as strong as some metals. Vesconite is used in engineering for gears and bushes ,its also self lubricating .
