Title: Gear that shouldn't exist, but does
Post by: rapscallion on March 28, 2021, 01:37:33 AM: What's a piece of gear that you saw that you really wish you hadn't seen or had ever been conceptualized in the first place?

I don't know who porous walker is, but I really hold disdain for his work. This is probably the worst design I have ever seen on any piece of clothing.

Post by: IpathCats on March 28, 2021, 06:27:39 AM: Crazy printed grip. Idk how hard you're ripping, if you have camo/Louie vutton/full graphic grip tape, I literally don't wanna see it.

Do these actually exist, I only ever saw them in comic books. Would be sick if someone would wear them in a skatevid and the hat would fly of (actually take of like a helicopter) during a trick down a stairset.

Googled it, they do exist...

Regular sambas feel perfectly good for skating imo.
Skated boost superstars and they were decently good, but could have more grip (I mainly skate vans and cons so that was very unexpected).

Frog, Revive, Braille

Funny you should say Braille. I just looked at their blanks after seeing their name in the woodshop thread as PS sticks.
Anything off about their hard goods? Don't start me about the goofy youtube video they make. Most of those are straight return to sender material.
