every year millions of people will pick up a skateboard for the first time all of them want to start landing awesome tricks if you land one you're hooked the early tricks are very hard for most of us just like any sport with the kids don't see progress then quit that's why I created skatertrainers most tips tell you to start out in the crack or some grass but it's not enough you don't land back in the crack and the grass doesn't quite feel the same there are a lot of great how-to videos out there but many skaters give up too soon on their skateboarding dreams skater trainer is a simple tool that you slip on the wheels of your skateboard to keep it from rolling it's an intermediate step that slows things down so you can learn the moves and commit the landing tricks like a nollie or a kickflip my name is Roger I'm an engineer an inventor and the creator of schedule trainer I spent 25 years not skating and then decided that I wanted to get back into it easier said than done it was tough I felt like a beginner all over again only this time with a lot more fear of falling and busting my 40 year old ass having spent the last 20 years as an aerospace engineer my mind instantly went into figuring out a solution to this problems I built a prototype out of things I had around the house and learned a few tricks I knew I was on to something so I made the $200 youtube video created a manufacturable design and started testing I was blown away by the response I got skaters across the world were sending in their praise of skatertrainers on Monday and I learned by the end of Monday I think you guys are totally gone there Turner's it's totally worth it their testimonials validated the concept but they also highlighted some key issues they were hard to get on with slip off when used eventually wore out and we're pretty ugly I took that feedback and created version 2.0 skatertrainers it's waser to install fits on almost any skateboard wheel won't slip off is lighter and more durable than the first version this is John while his neighbor is yelling about how his dog ate his paper this is John in the same situation using brick so what is brick so it's an awesome version of building blocks that makes your designs come to life with electricity sensors and Bluetooth let's see some prototypes from our testing lab closing a circuit this is Bluetooth sound sensor light sensor proximity sensor how amazing is using brick so this is cake making her morning coffee while discovering Roy used all the milk for his cereal this is Kate same situation with brick cell brick so has three types of locks connectors action blocks and trigger blocks use the connectors to make a circuit then embed the action box to give your design light or movement now you can use trigger blocks to control your design with sound proximity and light Rick so can also be controlled remotely which means you can connect your design to your phone and even to the Internet and automate stuff if you're into that sort of thing but who likes to automate stop right oh and there's a battery block which well is the battery here's Mike while his coworker turns off the air conditioner even though it is 90 degrees outside this is Mike same situation with brick so you can use brick so to operate designs made with regular building blocks which will make them like a hundred times cooler no wires needed all bricks or block components are built in brick so is also an amazing educational tool for your kids but know that they'll forever mock regular building blocks buzz and Amir have been working on brick so for a long time they're both physicists so they know a thing or two about electricity so if you like building stuff and don't mind getting addicted support them and get your own brick so it'll change your life or just make you happy bricks hi there we're playful nature the folks behind the Willow Walker Willow Walker is a super simple device that mimics the natural way of parents teach their baby to walk it lets a grown-up stand upright while assisting young walkers it allows a parent to do less bending over while their toddler is learning to toddle and him beyond yeah we're just some dads who like that fun and we came up with this idea for the Willow Walker and right now we get together and after work and we just make them in our garage late at night the purpose of this campaign is to raise $12,000 to take our company out of our garages we want to employ people to finish the rough product and we want to pay them a good wage for that work so we can put this product that we think is fun and positive but it's also really important to us that it's good for the earth we have two amazing environmental charity partners Eden reforestation projects and the lonely whale foundation and proceeds from every sale go directly to them we plan to use laser edging to produce custom designs inspired by our partners to generate additional revenue for them we know that our idea is really simple and one of the downsides to that is that as soon as we get a little momentum someone can come along and start making them out of plastic so we want to complete our pattern and do our small part to keep things green Willa walkers are made from sustainable hardwood heavy-duty cotton strap an organic coconut oil that's all a Willa Walker is it's simple small and portable no harness no buckles just a ring instead of a parents finger here's what you get you get a willow Walker you plant trees via Eden reforestation projects and you support the lonely whale foundation to advocate growth and youth awareness of the oceans thanks for checking us out we hope you're as excited as we are about the Willow Walker please consider supporting our campaign you
