Guest jschal01 Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Don't think an air bladder like that is going to be the desing to do it, but an actual successful suspension for boards would be as big as suspension has been for MTBing. As with MTBs, probably 95% of the riding public doesn't/wouldn't need more suspension than the board already affords, but that's a different story.

D-Sub Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 even better, he's trying to sell the same patent TWICE! the rest of that seller's stuff looks like he ripped off an EMT supply store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkallinen Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 $500,000.00 Geeez, who is guy. DREAMING, good lord. Wouldn`t give him $50.00 for it. Then he is selling runway lighting systems and 26 ft motor yatch cheaper then the board. :lol: Sounds more like a fencing operation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdea Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 the way this guy spells, if I am saying they can't spell thats bad, I bet half of the third graders in the country could whip my ass in a spelling comp. meat for meet, heal for heel, skies for skis. not a big deal when trying to sell pirated DVDs or other schetchy sub $20 items on ebay but someone who claims to have a patent that they want a half mil for should at least appear that they did not ride the short bus to school.

mirror70 Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 While the ad is pretty poorly written, the patent isn't a whole lot better. I'm somewhat surprised it got approved, but then when I think of a few high-profile patents I'm not. The patent contradicts itself in a number of places, and in others it is too specific for its own good. All it would take is 10 minutes and a $5 TV lawyer to successfully rip this one off - assuming of course that it was actually something worth ripping off. http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=/netahtml/srchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=6,834,881.WKU.&OS=PN/6,834,881&RS=PN/6,834,881 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheman0177 Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Riding STILES?!?! Usually it is the horse, not the stile that you ride. But hey, you guys do lots of things different over there, so I can never be sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateW Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 He isn't selling the board, he's selling the patent. (Not that I think the patent is worth any more.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
