we have a team of experts working whenever they feel like it to maybe file the llc paperwork HEATH
meanwhile we have another team of one singular average guy who has the trademark registration paperwork all filled out and ready to file after we get the llc
obviously this stalled. here is what we tried:
- get tarck LLC running and give the TM to tarck LLC
here is the progress we made on tarck LLC:
- [this page intentionally left blank]
based on that, here are what i think our options are at this point:
1. i refund everyone their moneys and we get nothing
2. i get tarck TM assigned to me personally and everyone trusts i'm not going to sue your asses or shut the website down. i already did the documents and jordan took a quick look and said they were good
3. wait indefinite amount of time to maybe get tarck LLC
i thought about the only when durnk option! but i actually wanted legitimate answers AND that poll has a see votes feature for people who don't want to vote, so there is no only when drunk option.
Next step, for industry recognition: I think we need a promo video.
I think Naterod could make some fucking awesome, ridiculous graphics that we could speak some brand connection optimization synergies mumbo jumbo over.
Need to make a "Tarck approved" UCI looking sticker. Should be made to stick over any existing UCI frame sticker for those of us that have bikes like that.
If someone on here did it, I'd probably like it. Since it was done by someone I don't know, they're a fucking idiot.
for promo video:
my deskmate here has a huge bag full of empty AMP ENERGY cans we could pretend to shotgun
we could do a mash SF style bomb run except with dynamos glowing away and following most traffic laws where reasonable
we could film 20+ minutes of various members of us sitting at keyboards scowling and typing furiously and not edit it at all
we could import some icelandic hotdogs to iowa and all meet up for ragbrai and film our misadventures
we could film half of the video about bikes and then spend the other half sitting in trucks sharpening knives and wearing japanese denim

I have one of those little go pro guys but we just talked about how ride footage is usually not a good translation unless it's super time lapsed over varying conditions.
We probably need a pitch video, and Snowmaaaan to do a real slick executive brief webpage for tarck consulting and let it be that.
Your designbro kickstarter idea sucks and we have a team of crowdfunded experts working around the clock to improve it before you make an ass out of yourself on the internet.
guys I HAVE NEWS and i need some help from you people.
we got temporarily rejected, but not permanently rejected. evidently they need proof of "the mark" in commercial use. can someone send me whatever files we use to make the stickers or the hats or, ideally, the jerseys? or even some good photos of those products? i think if i submit some of that stuff, we should be good.
in other news, they didn't find any conflicting marks so once i do this part we should be good?

yes, i suppose you could vote multiple times. please don't.
i'll leave it open for a week.
I voted for 2 because I trust you.
lol I read the first page and gave you money just now
refund it if you are not using it
#2 is fine
Should have said it was just a cross check with different geometry. - Todd
#2 is fine... The LLC is a pipe dream on my part.
...shift like jesus making one set of footprints in the sand in your time of need
Can we do 2 and eventually 3? Or once 2 is done, 3 is impossible?
my non-legal mind says that it should be possible to have me transfer ownership over tarck TM to tarck LLC if ever such a thing were to be created
haha i got you, i added you to the google doc.
In light of that common sense logic I vote #2 also.

wtf tarck poll is this with no only when drunk option? dafuq
i thought about the only when durnk option! but i actually wanted legitimate answers AND that poll has a see votes feature for people who don't want to vote, so there is no only when drunk option.
I'm saf so I voted 3. Never thought about getting my money back.

:grant:
nate takes all your money

nate actually files the forms!
government takes forever :grant:
You da man.

The world needs this with or without a Tarck promo video.
I like all of these things
I think we all need to contribute from every location / state / country.
I can put aek on my back and we can do a Master Blaster in Stockholm.

How do we get funding for R&D
"Folks want options!"
gofundme or kickstarter. We love those.
If someone on here did it, I'd probably like it. Since it was done by someone I don't know, they're a fucking idiot.
we could do a kickstarter and people would back us starting a company to tell all the other bike-related kickstarters how much their product sucks
Kickstart advisory board.

Let's buy the whole J&B stock of Horizons and create a monopoly on 650b 47mm wide tires.
tarck futures
"Folks want options!"
We may have done that. Was only 4 in stock yesterday and I grabbed 2.
damn it I need to hurry to my lbs!
I've got 4 put aside for me. Guess there's 0 now.
They're not sold out. I just bought two while I was poopin.
Could have just been the local warehouse that was low.
Yeah it was PA. Everywhere else has a million.
I didn't realize they had so many. Then the fuckers arrived the next day. Thanks, PA warehouses.
did anything happen?
we're still at this step
i guess at least we haven't gotten rejected yet
gonna take them a long time to read all of our emails
yeah, we're not hillary
