I seemed to imply in my first post that Ben should be riding an effective wheelbase 3" longer than mine. Which seems insane now that I read it. Surprised no one called me on it. The real # can't be that big...

I do agree with Degros regarding the right tool for the application....bowls vs. ledges, flat vs. gaps, etc. You do need to take into account the shit you do.
[close]

I actually agree with this, but I refused to acknowledge it yday because Xen is clearly one of those guys who acts like the smartest guy in the room until an actual smart guy shows up, then he gets all threatened and tries to reassert dominance rather than actually learn something
[close]

Pot, kettle, black. O.K, wait, hang on, you agree with it, but didn't want to acknowledge it because it would make you look less...smart? Are you saying we're both not...smart? Agreeing with someone you disagree with, who, in your mind is trying to reassert dominance implies that you've somehow beaten or surpassed me in some way, that I was proven wrong? When did that happen? Was this something you were going for?

Your [lack of] ability at trolling is something Tracer should come back for inorder to put you in your place.

Lol, OP got ownd. All I've seen from Zen is helpful posts, you just come across brash and childlike if people don't agree with you (hell even if they do, case in point above).

To the OP. Comparing yourselft to PS? Who are you again? Come back when you've:

Founded numerous companies
Run a Pro Team
Literally shaped the industry
Run one of the largest and most reputable woodshops in the industry

To compare yourself to him shows you don't know anything...who would trust you over him?

I'll give you one thing, you got half your name right.

TooManyPros is absolutely Xen.

They always log off within 3 min of each other. Xen always comments on TMP's threads, usually the same day (TMP makes a sus thread asking about gear preferences, never volunteering his own--then Xen chimes in eight hours later with his setup). They both have made posts swearing by Ace bushings.

It has been fascinating watching this guy first try to gatekeep me out of this thread, then pretend it's all in good fun, then in the same day explode with indignation about how much longer he's been skating than me, then run to his secret alt account to post some dreadful word salad with intentional misspellings designed to make it seem like he's two different people, then deny it when people start to catch on--without ever offering a single cogent point on the matter at hand besides "I've been skating a long time."

Get a fucking tailor...you off the shelf heathens.

^The great gatekeeper Xen's thoughts on cuffing pants. Nothing but helpful, this "Zen."

I have a confession: I'm one of Xen's secret alt accounts too.
God, it feels good to get that out in the air.

I wanna play you in a game of SKATE for the right to continue talking shit on me.  You think you got me?

Hey now. Flip exhibited a boundless entrepreneurial creativity. A true exemplar of today's gig-economy.

Shut up you Virgin Fuck for I take your Ugly ass thot and Put her on the blade and have her bring home my money

Diverse income streams are not on no NUT shit

He's my hero. His turning of the forum against that cornball Ed was a true David and Goliath moment. We need more of that around here.

Who is who? My two cents is save the drama for other boards and keep it professional on shoes and gear. Not super interested in reading arguments about burner accounts, I came here to LEARN dammit! My monkey brain likes to know what to expect.

I'm in the bay for a couple of weeks and walked past the Create store the other day and started laughing thinking about that thread. Was thinking about trying to explain it to my girl but thought better of it.

I do find it weird that neither of them have come in here to respond though.....
Til then I will sit patiently and wait for the Nexpo or Barely Sociable YouTube video on this, which I’m sure is the works as we speak.

Thanks man, your “contributions” in this thread have been invaluable. Xen-TMP can’t nanny the whole gear forum on his own. He needs dick-suckers like you to hold it down

This dude has so many friends, I can feel it. I've interacted with Xen once and could give a fuck less about multiple accounts. But you can call that dick sucking if you want.

I wish you were even somewhat likeable so I can put to good use the knowledge you've shared, but now every time I pick out a board I'll be reminded of that one asshole who starts fights over wheelbase and triple posts when nobody responds.

I'm respectfully ignoring you and your desperate pleading for the attention you are so starved for. Good luck!

lol. You’ve made an average of six posts EVERY DAY since November.

Go back and re-read the thread boss. I didn’t start the fight with Xen. He did


Edit: Christ, that's an average of a post every two and half hours of EVERY DAY of your waking life. For the last three months. Like what the actual FUCK

I love how this thread has evolved since Adam first invited discussion.
At present, it resembles a dick swinging contest with only one entrant.
That’s not to say I haven’t learned anything. The “leverage triangle” is a cool way of visualizing relationships between different trucks. Also, I realized that if your Skate IQ is high enough, you can utilize your understanding of truck geometry to pull off flatground 720 ollies.
Shalom.

I realize this is a tongue-in-cheek reference to cheetahsheets, to whom you've already compared me.

But I have to point out that Xen is the only poster in here using his supposed superior skate prowess to try to win arguments. Urtripping is the one hypocritically accusing me of having no life, after having picked a fight with me over and over. These are the guys measuring dicks, not me.

MY e-peen has been entirely fact-based from the very beginning. Not one poster has seen fit to debate me on those merits. All I see are a bunch of threatened pooseys. Shalom.
