History of the Shocker - SFT, NXT, Sport, pVI, etc

Explaining where it all began, back in the good ole days!
This video was made in 2008. Since that time some things have changed, notably SP no longer exists and Shockers are no longer made. I should have included Luxes in this video but I didn't think of it at the time. Luxes are the newest incarnation oft he Shocker SFT platform.

I'm pretty sure they did, but I'm not here to troll. Nice vid, you have quite a few shockers in amazing condition. Which one is your favorite?

[ydna2]

@DRbombadee All they did was back out of a production order when SP decided they wanted to make the markers themselves instead of outsourcing to pVI. The story is annihilated out of proportion every time the topic is brought up. SP was always listed on the original patents, but you're right that they later bought them so they could fully own them (which I disagree with, but is irrevelant).

Doesn't much matter at this point, they made many stupid business decisions and paid for it...

You forgot to mention that PneuVentures was sued into bankruptcy by smart parts, who then bought the shocker design from the bankrupt company.

[ydna2]

@DRbombadee - Incorrect. Smart Parts never sued them, in fact the only company they ever did was WDP. Don't believe everything you read on the internet.
