| Who cares. We all know who invented them first. That might be a cheaper option anyway. |

| surprised at how chill some of you guys are at this.. I'm cool with companies taking a basic concept and doing the same thing as brr, because that's just an invention of skateboarding being turned into fingerboarding, which is what all companies are doing basically.. But this? Its like exactly the same. Don't see how one could physically make and sell that for £15, its either shitty craftsmanship or a scam at that price, surely.. the materials alone would cost almost that! |

Exactly! One thing is to rip off a design and then screw up the dimensions so it looks ugly. Another thing is stealing the name. Pornstörm is an old german FB team isn't it? Is rainshitty making ramps for them? I don't think so. Only awesome thing they have is their picnic table which has coloured plies. But again the design is a rip off of BRR.. And i mean, how fucking hard is it to design a picnic table???? |

| I can't believe he uses the same names, I foresee a lawsuit. I don't care really if the ramps are similar but names are copyright infringment.but its idonesia so who knows, I won't be buying anytime soon. |

| Ya it's from Rain City.
They have a graphic with Mike Schneiders name and face on it, and have flatface graphics and all that. It's pretty obvious they lack originality, I mean...look at their name!
They're based out of Indonesia so prices are cheaper because their currency is worth less....even in America!
All in all, it looks like a solid obstacle, I mean, it's fingerboarding, you don't need reinforcement in fear of collapsing, lol. I wish they would be more original though. |

| I think ramps like Box II, III, IV... can be also made by other companies, but the Pornstorm Plaza is a different obstacle, same as D-Rex ledges, and parks. |
