Because someone shows the courage to accomplish something such as a design does not mean they are stupid for doing so. It just means they took a chance and risk on what they believed. Alot of the ideas where gathered from quite a few people in what they thought so i will not take credit for all their ideas but i will give credit to them when it is due.

I will agree that the prototype does look like shit but it was never really meant to be seen as a final decision. But other than that, keep it real and keep on rolling. Peace.

There is a time for risks to be taken and I just can’t see that this is it.

The ONLY thing that made skateboarding as big as it is today is marketing. Danny Way jumping the great wall is just a footnote like tony hawk doing a 900. The one thing that helped them out the most is the fact that anyone can figure out how to ride around on a skateboard in less than a month. The thing with our sport is that the basics take time to learn. Things like skating [the rolling around part], jumping, stopping, developing balance and muscles all take time. Most american kids [sorry but the US is the largest economy with the most disposable cash] are too lazy and they care about what others think too much to spend a year or two looking silly trying to learn the basics.

Rollerblading was never huge. There are more skaters today than there has ever been. In the mid ’90s the skateboard ind. was gaining speed and making tons of money. The huge sports companies had already failed in their attempts to crack in to that sport, so what did they do? They pushed a new sport into the spotlight to try to take some of the skateboard money, those companies thought they could beat skateboarding within five tears. When they failed to make the profits they wanted most of them ran leaving us where we are today, picking up the pieces.

These frames look like they will be very costly to produce. The 50/50 core is so simply made it is genius. It will be very hard to beat something that is as easy to make. The element looks pretty but does not work as well. The only issue with the core is the way it slides, when they find a better plastic that frame will be very hard to beat.

The Great wall placed Danny way on the map to making serious money and now he has no worries. WE as a industry are risk takers but those who own businesses aren’t they’re all about the numbers. That being the case Robert is on the right track cause in the end he will be awarded for his sacrifice.

The only way this industry can become huge again is if we get global exposure for something that makes any and all skateboarders look like the pussies they are and getting the publicity and marketing to do it correctly the first time.

All I’m saying is that in my opinion it would be better to wait for a time when rollerblading is on the rise. In that time people who want to make new products can develop them and make them as good as possible.

i am curious to see the final version. hopefully they wont be heavy.

The ideas behind this frame is not just to appeal to the aggressive industry as well but all disciplines in one frame. The goal is to give the skaters what they want a light, affordable and customizable frame.

And another note we no longer go by ECS we go by Khaos. Cause thats what we are trying to do create, limitless possibilities.

I reckon Ecs should wait and keep hold of the idea for now and unleash it when people are ready.

If rolling had a bigger market, maybe the 1% that’d use this frame would make it worthwhile, but for now it’s still a pipe dream imho.

what the hell is wrong with a normal frame

i tell you all we want is some thing fast light strong and good looking

not mechanisms and fixtures that will only fall apart.
