I’m all about bikes, but c’mon Element?

haveboard|07/02/08

When I saw, “I’m all about bikes”, I mean, as in a method of transportation, and not about BMX and EXTREME biking and what not.

Well, apparently Element is playing the crossover game and has teamed up with Krabo to make Limited Edition bikes.

Seriously? Why? If a bike company started manufacturing skateboards. I’m sure people would be up in arms. Well, maybe nowadays this type of colab is okay. What do I know? But hasn’t the Limited Edition stuff jumped the shark yet?

Opps, just realized I never linked the actual article.

Been there done that. DC has already released a limited edition “PK ripper” reissue with matching shoes and I think the “Quadangle” as well. Nike SB just released a “BMX” pack, and Vans did the “Rad” rip offs.Brooklyn Projects in LA even hosted a bmx party last weekend…?

Actually Terrible One BMX company did put out some skateboards back in the day because they thought it would be fun, and everyone almost burned them at the stake… But hate to say it the whole terrible one team can shred pretty damn hard! PS element would get more respect if it wasn’t a “trackbike” GAYYYYYY

They’re not selling the bikes as they only made 5 of them. They’re auctioning them off for charity. While I don’t really like brand cross over stuff too often it’s hard to hate on charity, actually it’s impossible. Plus it’s a pretty sick bike, even if it is a damn track bike.

Tony Hawk has a bike company as well. In this day in age, expect skate companies to do just about anything and everything to stay afloat…Next you’re gonna see Chad Muska signature boom boxes….wait…I thing Felix already has one….

ugh just what the world needs. more track bikes. hopefully these 5 bikes will go to a nice trendy home where men dressed in womans jeans and a tight v neck shirt will put pictures in the spokes to show how artsy they are. that would be cool. lets go for the kids next, element. element cross overs with heelys
