| kl wood ftw.. idk if this bench is for sale in the us shop it makes sense for it to be in the european shop because flatface doesn't ship obstacles outside the us and canada, but yeah i'm not gonna start that whole arguement.. |

this. want to see one of these? Go to any town/city, pretty sure you'll see one. it differs in many ways from the KLwood in terms of design, really don't see what the issue is. I would be pissed if BRR took one of big construction's or another company's unique ramp ideas for example and made them into the brr box 8 or w/e, but this is just a bench you can see anywhere irl - and also one that's grown to be quite iconic in skateboarding, which we're all emulating here to some extent. |

| If you walk down the street in a city you will see one of these benches, it's like saying FingerSized can't make Plant Pots because B+Q make full sized ones, absolutely stupid argument! |

On the BRR bike-rack it says "In association with flatface". BRR just paint it black. |

| I call bullshit on anyone saying "Its just a bench". If i came out with a ramp company with anything even close to looking like BRR, i'd get bashed to hell. Its more than "just a bench". No one seems to get it because its BRR. BRR hasnt really done anything ground-breaking since the trucks. Since then, its been using items from other companies. It goes beyond it being just a bench or just a rail. That bench was KLwood's big release. Now BRR has it and suddenly "OMG THATS SO SICK!" "IMA GET IT NOW!" Why not get it when KLwood came out with it? So now BRR will steal customers because its bigger than KLwood. Does it mean BRR cant make benches? No. It means that for fuck sakes... the bandwagon is worse than Twilight at this point. Nothing is sacred. I know one thing. If TD came out with this bench people would be in arms wanting to burn the building and everything around it down. |

No. Cause KL wood has nothing to do with the BRR bench. |

| i don't have a problem with there being two ramp companies in the world that make benches. The only thing you can legitimately get worried about is the similarity in construct...i wouldn't want to design this thing - it's dangerously close to copying (as said). They could and should have made it different somehow, like by putting a back on or something. But if you don't like it, don't buy it. |

| So Gilly, i could reproduce ... maybe the pornstorm, plaza, boxes and maybe one of their parks, then sell them.. and.. it'll be alright? A ramp is a ramp after all, right? |

| A plaza's different to a bench. Just because BRR is bigger doesn't mean they're better, so if KLWood win out on price or quality then their discerning customers will continue to buy, while masses who may never have even heard of KL Wood buy a ramp they wouldn't know existed if BRR hadn't done it. This bench is an iconic skate obstacle. It's the same as people moulding curbs, or palates. No reason to get all pissed off. Hell, this release will probably end up giving KL some more publicity and boost sales! |
