The best part about crowdfunding is that everyone can do it.

Case in point, Untamed Power.

It's easy to knock things before you know anything about them so let me fill you in about Untamed Power and the gear. The jersey in the picture is only a PROTOTYPE that we manufactured with a company that we are no longer using because of quality issues. The picture is deceiving because the jersey is actually a typical polyester motocross jersey and is very lightweight. This prototype is not going to be used for our gear. Instead, we teamed up with designers out of California that used to work for FOX Racing and One Industries to design, develop, and manufacture our gear. The gear will be the quality of the top name brands out there and will include: sublimated jersey with improved neck collar and graphics, motocross pants with pre-formed knees, inner knee padding, ratchet belt closure, TPR molded logos, sublimated graphics, and motocross gloves that have padded palms, sublimated graphics, reinforced thumb, grip fingertips, TPR molded logo, etc. The designers are also improving items such as the logo, graphic design, etc. The crowd-funding is being used to help us get off the ground and get a great start to this company. The kickstarter page also tells about the company and gear if you read the full kickstarter page. If we are fully funded then we will create and sell the gear and give out sponsorships and rider support to racers. So, before knocking the gear and brand, please ask us questions and read the kickstarter page to find out all of the information about it. Thanks.

If you start a new project, you probably shouldnt "release" any photos of the "product" if you are not pleased with the way it looks...

That show is hilarious. I love the lack of basic math skills for most of the entrepreneurs.

Will it still be called "Untamed Power" or is that a prototype too?

well call me shallow, but I won't buy it because of the name. Kind of reminds me of that "Bilt" gear they have in cycle gear.
Also not digging the retarded unicorn either.

That looks like it was designed on MS Paint.

IMO If they have any hope of reaching the kickstarter goal they need to hire a competent designer and quickly get rid of all those designs and replace them with something that does not so amateurish.

Earlier today there were zero backers, as of now there is one.

CLIFF NOTES:

- we need 50K

- in the meantime here is our best rendition of the gear, tastefully done by the local 4th grade art class.

As said earlier these are ROUGH sketches. They are only napkin sketches to give us rough ideas for the final gear development. These are not at all final drawings. As stated earlier we are now working with designers to design all our gear. The designers used to work for FOX Racing and One Industries. These rough drawings were just jotting down rough ideas really quick. We now are in the phases of designing the gear and making professional designs and tech packs to send to our manufacturer. We only posted these rough concepts to give the viewers rough ideas that we might incorporate into our designs. If you would take the time to read through our kickstarter page then you would understand all of this.

I'm not sure people want to give 50,000 dollars to someone who doesn't put forth more effort than a napkin sketch.
