It's just no efficient way to ride around because everybody was kind of like,
using skateboards to get around, and longboards were really popular.
And the problem with longboards, like really long, bulky, you know, hard to carry around.
It was like, we have to, there has to be a better solution, right?
And we remember seeing, we remember like this old Mahaka 2 Torpedo skateboard, and we're like, why not bring these babies back, kind of make it sexy, kind of make it more colorful.
And that's exactly what we did.
We remember seeing a large dog town.
It kind of inspired us.
So we made a skateboard.
Plastic with lights.
And then we were actually the first ones to kind of come up with the LED skateboard wheels.
that kind of ran on Dynamo.
And that's how we really grabbed the market.
And then we kind of like became the majority players on Skateboard Elite Wheels.
And then that's where we went to South by Southwest.
Won the South by Southwest Startup Challenge with Gary Vaynerchuk.
Got our money.
How much?
We got $10,000.
It's like a prize money, you could say.
