Street Surfing seeks innovative action-oriented toys and action-sports products.
Deadline: Monday, December 14th, 2009 at 11:59PM Pacific Time (US & Canada)

http://www.edisonnation.com/live_product_search...

Time to grab your boards and do some feeblegrinds, fakies, aciddrops and 50-50s! Note to us old guys: Make sure your medical insurance is up to date before you do your prototyping!

Just came up with, and submitted a idea to Street Sufing. I didn’t think I would have one for this LPS, but then inspiration hit! A prototype is actually feasible, I just hope I don’t break anything testing this thing out. Good luck to all.

Anybody else got a dog in this fight? I’m sure there going to get some really neat ideas out of this one.

I’m at G2. I wonder how many ideas are for the boards and how many are for action games. Either way I’m guessing the ideas are pretty crazy for this LPS.

Just submitted one more to Street Surfing. It may be a little dangerous, but I figure most of the entries will have some form of safety risk. If its not at least a little dangerous, its not fun!

Tonight is the deadline for Street Surfing. I have one at G3 good luck to everyone else who has a submission. EN offers an awesome opportunity, I have had some bad experiences with companies wanting lots of money up font. They spend all of their time with a sales pitch. One experience I had was when I was at their office the phone rang at least three times with in twenty minutes with angry customers complaining. Another one I had a hard time tracking them down because they kept on changinging their address and phone number. I am glad I never even told them my invention ideas not that they even cared. All they wanted was your money. I just want an honest way of bringing my invention to the attention of a company who is in the market to help inventors like me. I would just like to say is thank you so much EN.

Well looks like I gots to pick just one. I don’t think they’re looking for a new type of collapsible electric motorized vehicle that doesn’t fit into the skateboard or roller blade or scooter category. I don’t think they want my mini recumbent 21-speed unicycle idea. I don’t think they want my easy on easy off backpack strap idea for a new line of distinctive skateboard backpacks, they won’t want my new roller blade idea because that market’s saturated so it’s either my full contact soccer game on a slippery wet vinyl liner and soaked nerf soccer ball or my ptero baseball game with pteroid, pterobat and ptalon. Whichever I choose, I trust it will be the wrong decision.

I’d love to see the 21-speed unicycle! If anything, it would make for a great video on youtube.

The backpack idea might be worth a shot over the slip and slide concussion mat.

The ptstuff is for pterodactyl because they fly. It’s just a catchy name and it’s a game with a caveman theme with pterodactyls drawn all over the equipment which flies.

It starts out as a recumbent mini bike but can fold into a 21 speed unicycle.

I’m having a blast! I’ve pulled out an old prototype designed in the late 1990’s back when I fist had my dream of being an inventor. I was working with Dan Lauer, (the inventor of the Water Baby) he had his door open helping would be inventors. I would see him almost every week for over a year discussing and learning the market and what sells. In that year I designed over 100 toys ideas.

Now thanks to EN and street surfing my outdoor action sports toy (my personal favorite) has a new life. I have almost given up hope. It doesn,t seem like, since video games, there is much demand for toys any more. But there has been a few exceptions like the skateboard which still has an appeal for kids.

I’ve dusted off my old prototype and re designing it with cool new skateboard graphics. My invention has worldwide appeal, maybe more international appeal than nation (USA). Street Surfing, what an opportunity it would be to produced by a worldwide co.

Green check mark on level 5 here but not sure what all that really means as this is my first submission on Edison Nation. (I did read the “official” explanation of steps just not sure how many make it to each step etc..)

1 G4, 1R6,
I guess since it got x’d during the IP phase I shouldn’t resubmit this one again to any other searches. At least that makes since to me.

Sorry about the R’s.

Margaret, Thanks. I love riding mine. I’ve been using it for over a year now and was about to attempt to manufacture and market…and this LPS popped into the mix. Right now the progress meter reads that I’ve passed the 6th stage (Final IP Review or Uniqueness) and onto the finalists. I guess I have a G6 then.

Is there a way to see what else has been submitted?

Eric,

There is no way to see what else is in the lps, unless someone posts about it. Most of our ideas are unprotected, so usually we keep it top secret :).

Congrats on your G6. I’d be very surprised if you didn’t make it to G7. I showed your video to my daughter. She loved it!
