Hey guys,

with pool coping becoming pretty popular, i thought i would adopt the idea and apply it for the more street orientated fingerboarders.

The Street Option Kit is basically a set of thin bricks, that can be glued onto ramps using glue or double sided tape, or integrated into concrete obstacles. It gives the ramp/ ledge a streetier grind feeling, as well opens up new possibilities for tricks.

One pack would include 12 bricks, enough for 37cm lenght.

What do you think of this idea? Would you use it? Any ideas for impovement?

This is just a prototype so far wink!

I think it's rad. The only place you can really buy mini bricks is...well I have no idea. I'd buy them!
Are they made of clay or something similar to the concrete used in Harriers? They look mad shmoof.

Looks sweet. It sounded awesome in grinds. Maybe paint them brick colored and they would be even better!

Looks cool Peter! Depending on the price i could see these sell well.

The holes makes them look a bit like legos to me, maybe try moving the design in this direction:

Good luck! I hope to see more stuff from Prete!

NO! Keep them white <3 or you could do both colours? But imo, white is nicer, but some people may think brick colour is nicer. Up to you though!

Have you got an estimated price?

Yeahhh this is sick.  I dunno about the holes though, I'd thicken em up/remove the holes.  Also, it'd be really cool if cats wanna put em' on tranny you could make a set with more bricks and some ones that are tapered so it'd be a smooth ride onto tranny?  I'd buy that shit forsure. Sick clips too dooood.

They should come in an assortment of colors and then they will really look like candy.

But seriously, different color packs would be cool.

I agree with Will that the white colour looks really nice but I would say get rid of the holes because they will lower the durability as well as make riding on the bricks more rough/un-enjoyable. If they are ever released at a decent price I will definitely get some!

One thing I must say about this is that these kind of things can be bought at craft stores that sell modeling and scenery stuff for like miniature train tracks and etc.

I know they would actually be branded as Prete but I have seen similar bricks like this at craft stores around in my parts.

I have these and I think they're fine the way they are. I love them. The white is classy.

The ONLY thing I would suggest is making the holes the slightest bit smaller to ensure the brick wont chip in the weaker areas along the outside.

They can be used for so many different things too. Not even just grinding on, but for surface texture, they could be used like pallets to prop obstacles up.. or just for simple looks as well. You could just put them in a pile and do tricks over them if you felt like it. Many uses for these bricks!

Really smooth style in the mini too, Peter.
Much love!
happy

Here are some suggestions:
Maybe give two colors. White and brown.
Idk how you feel about this one, but instead of keeping the holes like they are, make it more like cinderblock holes. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS-9l3MO7O81lPFSvnaSviZBmIwo84tdT8ZAv84z1MFsB5kD3Al (Maybe. I like both of them tbh).
Otherwise, they look crazy sick. I may actually pick a pack up. Since there's finally a smaller alternative too Harrier Pool Coping. There are lots of things I wanna pimp out with some coping, but couldn't because it was too big, so this could be a big seller wink
