I'm working with a friend who created a product similar to this - TRICK GRIP 3 years ago and already has the patent for it. His idea is better because its simpler, in that there are two tricks on the grip tape instead of three and overall design is simpler. His also doesn't require the skater to buy left or right foot grips instead they just flip the board.
The product is aimed at making it easier for beginner skaters to learn tricks. Such as, the Ollie, KickFlip, HeelFlip and Pop-Shuvit By outlining the correct foot positioning on the board to do said tricks. A couple years back he tested it at a skate park with 15 people and all 15 gave him positive feedback. Some people said they would buy it for like $10-15 (construction price is only $5).
The current plan is to create some more and test it out at a skate-park again to see the feedback that people give. We're also working on a name to call the product. We'll also create a facebook page for the product that we can have skaters refer their friends to. Just trying to keep things simple right now and see if there's a market out there for this. Any and all feedback is welcomed. If Snuggie made millions then why cant this too? lol
