Detroiters’ Invention a “Slam Dunk” for the Auto Industry
Pick-Up Hoops is perfect for “Ballers” on the Go! Detroit — Pickup Hoops is a patented portable basketball goal assembly that mounts in the bed of a pickup truck.
(PRWEB) February 2, 2005 -- What travels 0 to 60, sets up in less than 30
seconds, and can be played anytime, anyplace, anywhere? The one and only
patented Pickup Hoops. Pickup Hoops is the only portable basketball goal with a
base that you actually can drive from place to place. The base is actually the
pickup truck. This means you determine when and where to play some hoops,
without relying on the availability of a court. The pickup truck is an integral
and essential part of the apparatus. The truck actually becomes an extension of
the assembly. The truck acts as a base and the bed is the necessary storage
space. In the play position, the backboard extends substantially out from the
rear of the truck, creating ample room for baseline play.
As for safety,
the closed tailgate with a pad hanging on it actually creates a backstop to
break a player’s momentum during a drive to the basket. In recent years, dunking
has become a big part of the game. The truck’s suspension absorbs the shock of
the dunk, significantly increasing player safety, much more than so-called
“break-away” rims.
The goal assembly simulates a convertible automobile.
When the top is down on a convertible, it fits neatly and compactly within the
space available without detracting from the vehicle, just like our Pickup Hoops.
And like a convertible top, Pickup Hoops adds to a vehicle’s versatility and
enhances its value.
Pickup Hoops has taken two mutually exclusive
entities, an automotive vehicle and the sport of basketball, and ingeniously
combined them. Not only have we combined these two, but also we have created a
product that is leaps and bounds ahead of other so called portable basketball
hoops.
Pickup Hoops gives a wake up call to the Automotive and Sporting
Goods world. Both pickup trucks and the game of basketball have been around for
over 100 years. Now they have been ingeniously combined.
Pickup Hoops is
now available for rent. Get your game on anywhere with Pickup
Hoops.
Pickup Hoops is looking for venture capitalist,or a sponsor, and
would like to license our patent rights. Looking for O.E.M. as well.
If
75% of all accessory product dollars are spent on light trucks ... This is a
wake up call to the Big Three to see what the young and old buyer wants on a
vehicle... The Detroit Pistons Edition Pickup Truck... with Pickup Hoops... the
mobile hoop of the Future.
