But in the end I think companies are exploiting the vulnerabilities of riders. I remember Taj writing or being interviewed about how his attitudes to commerce in BMX were formed by an experience as a young racer. He had lusted after a product that the pros had used, goggles I think, believing these were something he must have. Of course, he saved hard over the summer, bought them, and immediately realised he had been conned. Most of us have had a similar experience. <BR/><BR/>Another example of corporate exploitation on the part of both the company and the pro, which is crystal-clear in hindsight: Pro Forx suspension. With the majority of pro racers running these things for a couple of years in the nineties, how could they be wrong. Of course, the forks were all set up ridged, and the riders were well paid to haul their extra weight around a track. Word of mouth (about suspension sucking balls for BMX) was just slow enough for a two year window where the company could make a killing. <BR/><BR/>Skidmark’s assertion that there’s nothing wrong with cashing in on those with disposable income misses the point that often the income is not so disposable; some kids really go out of their way, financially, to buy this trendy junkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8634965595428261031.post-83037805881250674622008-10-13T20:14:00.000-04:002008-10-13T20:14:00.000-04:00Stay Gold Russ, Stay Gold..Stay Gold Russ, Stay Gold..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8634965595428261031.post-17691528194501464792008-10-13T19:27:00.000-04:002008-10-13T19:27:00.000-04:00Nothing wrong with pointing out bad design.
