I pay and made the mold for the mini x pucks
Same for the whole glove I design it from scratch
I did get a factory and say I whant a glove like this
I send tonne of drawing
They probably send my glove and say we whant this
Anyway is look like you agreed on they business style
Have a good one Evwan
Did you have an exclusivity agreement with the manufacturer?
Yes Sir
All paper work was done NDA and bla bla bla
The problem is not my factory
Is how shady was @ApexBoards
You can see pictures
95% is exactly same as our gloves
Just imagine ANYBODY going to a factory looking for gloves to be made:
"Yes, I require it to be hand shaped so it fits on the handā¦ And all the bits that get broken easily? Letās put some pads on those areas. Thumb and trigger are the only styles of remote we use, letās leave those fingers free at the tips for dexterity. Letās make them orange too. Actually, 99% of people like black. Letās go with black. So Iāll have a protective black glove, hand shaped, with protective bits around the falling areas. Cool cool cool. "
Now someone draw me something that fits this description without looking like a protective glove please
Or did we just all copy moto gloves and are bitching about hand protection, something most people buy once a year tops.
Dear chatgpt, please do the above. thanks
Lol this is really a funny answer
Ooo so they didnāt do anything bad
Canāt believe it
Donāt worry I will take care my factory if is your concern
Anyway is what esk8 is about now friend to friends
Do shit and they will defend them
Bravo guys
And if you not part of it you are the bad guys
Have fun here
Pictures show everything
And what about a company contact you for working with you
And come up with the exact same item
I think you donāt thĆ© the whole picture
Anyway I guess I donāt have friends here
Is probably why Iām the bad guys
Have a won Time guys
Talking shite about us now
For one time Iām speaking about something we can really see it
But still
You done explaining it
le sigh
v1 still going STONGšŖ! Just bough a few more, I really like your gloves X, and atleast you are local to us here in the United States where I imagine most of your business is from
I havenāt worn my v1 since I got the V3, but they were great. The V3 is much better though
A bit sad I lost my V2 I am sure they are under some pile of motors in the shop il find them, but super excited to try the V3!!!
I have your V2 gloves and love them. I would still consider you a friend but maybe you donāt feel the same way back. That hurts but I still be ok.
Can you imagine a textile fabrication factory refusing to sell any items the same color or shape as someone elseās? You know better than most that Knox are dicks about the plastic pads. You should be able to extrapolate that and realize that any other company wanting to provide gloves would face that same design constraint.
I would love to see the terms of your agreement if youāre open to sharing and think the factory wronged you. But as pointed out already, if you didnāt specifically pay for exclusivity (not just an NDA), it would be quite easy for a factory to change some design aspects and avoid legal blowback by selling a ādifferent-enoughā product.
Some wise folks would say, ālook forward, not behindā
lmao nothing i enjoy the chaos
iām sure 90% of people have no idea where that mount is from, itās an old mount jens made for a longboard belt drive
i take stabs at everyone, apex, trampa. dunno how people do it else where but round here everyone stabs at each other but at the end of the day yall are mates.
yep absolutely, everyone needs to chill out we ride planks of wood aircraft motors strapped to them
so yeah
Ugh, I did this on a Trampa enclosure once; I felt like an idiot.
@XBoard I recently noticed you called out @Skyart for āsupposedlyā coping your tires. Now, you call out @ApexBoards for coping your gloves. Did you get exclusivity rights from the Chinese manufacturers you used? If not, you should have if you want to make such claims against well respected vendors of this community. (Two of the best in my opinion).
Your accusations make you look weak, honestly. Iām sorry to say that, as I have been respecting you, and your company thus far.
In the future, you need to learn the room you are in.
Wish you the best otherwise.
(There is only so much you can do with tires and gloves)
Aside from accidentally stabbing myself trying to remove it, it wasnāt too hard to pry it up. The bond was strong enough that it wouldnāt come up on its own as well which is good to know. The vx4 uses a pot based control stick so magnets canāt fuck with it, but a loose magnet rattling around could mess something else up and also would just be annoying
That said, I donāt feel the apex gloves are a copy of yours to be honest.
