I have to wonder though, that kickstarter may not be the best platform for them to get funding for such a project. It seems that most people fund projects on kickstarter because they wish to receive a sample of the soon to be made product, however in this case a long board seems to be geared towards a younger audience, of which usually wouldn't have $1100-$1200 to spend on such a luxury good. Great work though! Would definitely be interesting to see people ride uphill.
