This is exactly what happened with Kodak back in the day, when digital cameras started being developed, Kodak thought they were a fad and never invested in them. They were one of the first companies to make cameras, and they could have owned the entire market if they had evolved with the times

I do not see the analogy here - boosted was not trumped by a new technology. They still are the name brand for electric skateboards.
This is more of a classic Silicon Valley screwup where a company diversifies and expands too quick, additionally is too confident and not innovative enough about their core line of product, eventually struggling in all lines and then running out of money.

Eh I should have highlighted what I was referring to, I was mainly referring to how boosted has remained stagnant in innovation in general - they didn’t hop on new trends or listen to the community for what they wanted

@bwahl602 gen 1 boosted was my first step into Esk8 too. Still, single most expensive online purchase. I almost got a motorcycle. Alternative universe I suppose.

It’s just my personal experience about the mountainboard market in the 2000’S (it was “hot” at this time), I realized (too late) that it was basically 10 times smaller that supposed/claimed…
