Denver, CO: KOTA Longboards, a custom longboard manufacturer, announces the launch of a WeFunder Campaign to secure and expand market reach in the US Action Sports Market.
KOTA Longboards started in the Spring of 2012, out of the Founders garage and has expanded into an 10,000 sq ft factory in Denver, Colorado. KOTA has steadily refined it’s processes and reach nationally through direct to consumer sales, co-brand relationships such as Anheuser Busch, Wounded Warrior Project and many others and through deliberate expansion into brand-centric, national retail options, such as Scheels and Ron Jon Surf Shop. Repeatedly, KOTA has been featured in iconic publications such as Outside Magazine, Men’s Journal, and Popular Mechanics, KOTA Longboards has created a following of both longboard enthusiasts and those trying the sport for the first time.
“KOTA makes longboard skateboards that appeal to the active lifestyle market. Our customer base is atypical for a longboard company because our boards are atypical. Spanning the young professional to the retiree, we provide the right product to attract a clientele to longboarding that would otherwise not skate. We’ve got revenue growth, scalable operations and multiple sales channels (direct, retail and co-brands) to get us to profitability. The market is there, we need capital to go get it,” said KOTA Longboards Founder, Mike Maloney.
Angela Hermann, a KOTA Longboards customer describes her experience stating, “Learning to skateboard has been a dream of mine for many years. As an adult I finally had the opportunity a few years ago to try longboarding. My KOTA board has provided me the opportunity to experience incredible moments, discover fun downhills in the road, and new places. Whether on my own or with friends my best days are when I get to take my KOTA out and just fly.”
KOTA’s success to-date is due to innovations such as KOTAgrip, a clear, non-porous durable grip finish that allows both sides of the deck to become a usable art surface. The result is not only a functional piece of art, but a high performance riding experience that allows the skater to ride with confidence without the use of traditional grip tape for the life of the longboard.
In 2017, KOTA spent several months beta testing various combinations of motors, batteries, electronic speed controllers, remotes and other electronics with their decks. They immediately felt that the carving performance, KOTAgrip finish and style of their decks made for an electric deck differ from anything else on the market. They successfully launched their Spitfire MkV in December quickly selling out of their pre-orders. In March 2018, KOTA successfully raised $21,000 in a few days on Kickstarter to expand their access to raw materials and increase delivery times.
KOTA is the only company who can offer a high performance ride, choice of board shape with any KOTA graphic on the top of your eBoard featuring best in class battery, motor and components. With KOTA the eBoard market finally has its complete package!

All-terrain carts remain a great way to move heavy and bulky loads in austere environments. The team behind the Polymule crowdfunding project has improved the product and reintroduced it on Indiegogo.
Polymule offers 20 inches of ground clearance, 400 lbs of payload capacity but the biggest improvement to the design is the introduction of uphill assist which keeps the wheels from rolling backward as you negotiate hills and obstacles.
Additionally, Polymule can be used as a rooftop carrier.
Available in Goldenrod, Desert Tan, and Moss Green.
The original design raised $25,000 in 30 days on Kickstarter. They just launched their new design and raised $26,000 in the first 18 hours on Indiegogo. Those interested in getting in on the project, visit www.indiegogo.com/projects/polymule-the-all-terrain-cart-with-uphill-assist-sports-innovation
BivyPack is billed on Kickstarter as the backpack that transforms into a bivy tent. On the upside, you’ve got both shelter and load carriage in one package. The opposite is that you’re always carting your shelter around.
The 40 liter pack section is manufactured from hex grid ripstop nylon. It is a flapped too loader with front packet as well as two side pockets and includes a carbon fiber frame along with shoulder, waist and chest straps.
The poles are integrated into the head section. Now, here’s another issue to consider. While the body is a laminate, the head section is noseeum mesh. In inclement weather this could be a real issue. Their solution is to place your coat over the head area when you need the extra protection. That’s one way to keep weight down, I guess. It’s only about one pound all told which isn’t bad.
While it’s innovative, a few design choices make it only applicable for a narrow set of circumstances.

St. Charles, MO – As a major sponsor, Propper recently celebrated with Budweiser Guns & Hoses as they raised a record $700,000 in one night for The Backstoppers.
Founded in 1987, Budweiser Guns ‘N Hoses is a fundraising event consisting of three-round boxing matches between area police officers and firefighters, held to benefit The BackStoppers. Budweiser Guns ‘N Hoses, which has grown into one of the premier fundraising events in the St. Louis area, has raised $6.1 million to date.
“We are proud to continue to sponsor this important event that benefits the families of first responders who were injured or killed serving the communities they loved,” said Hannah Foley, Director of Marketing for Propper. “From covering medical expenses to providing education for the children left behind, Backstoppers has consistently helped family members get through the toughest times.”
The Backstoppers organization hosts the annual Budweiser Guns & Hoses charity boxing match where police officers and firefighters face off in an evening of charity matches benefiting the families of critically injured and fallen first responders.
Started in 1959, The BackStoppers provides needed financial assistance and support to the spouses and dependent children of all police officers, firefighters and volunteer firefighters, and publicly-funded paramedics and EMTs who have lost their lives or suffered a catastrophic injury performing their duty.
Colin Despins of Max Venom Tactical has created an Indiegogo campaign for his latest invention, the Fast Fire Device for GLOCK!
The FFD-H is optimized for a GLOCK 17 or a full-size Lone Wolf frame. It can be installed or uninstalled from the host firearm in seconds and without any tools. But the real point is that it also allows for the handgun to achieve a full auto-like rate of fire. With legislation pending to ban bumpfire stocks and other, similar devices, Despins decided to launch the crowdfunding campaign sooner rather than later.
In addition to this video, they promise additional imagery of the device in action on their instagram page Max_Venom_Product_Group.
The last paragraph on the campaign’s webpage is pretty interesting:
Special Note – In no event shall Max Venom (MaxVenom.com), or any agents of Max Venom, be held liable for any damages resulting from the use or misuse of this product. By backing this project the user/purchaser agrees to hold harmless Max
Venom, indefinitely.
