Answering both of you at once: I don't follow either of you around, you just post in a lot of gear threads as do I and we don't disagree so you remember what I post more.
Yah, I am autistic and also have ADHD and OCD thanks for asking! I really don't read text walls too well on my phone when I am often posting and speed read a lot of stuff. Ergo, my memory for what was said and precisely when it was said is not as great as it is for things that actually matter in life. In the rest of said life I'm actually a technical writer and Machine Learning Eng so yes, I think reading comprehension is OK when I care, but this is fucking Slap of all places.
I think ya'll are taking what I am saying too seriously. I view conversation on Slap as banter that I would have with people I know. People don't often have to agree on shit and can argue and still not hate one another. I dunno what the internet does to people to take it too personally.
I never said I was afraid to do crooks or slappies what on earth are you talking about? I bought these wheels to do those faster at an asphalt slappy spot haha. I mostly dislike them at skateparks and on my DIY ramps in front of my house, which is on an asphalt street (with angle iron and galvanized coping) and again a place where I hoped they would do well. It took Ben making a video for you to believe what myself and
@tzhangdox were saying all along.
Why don't you film yourself doing either a normal or slappy crook and I will do the same and we can compare? Maybe include something with coping, a normal cement ledge, and a curb? I've skated with a few people on here and I think all of them would note that is probably my go-to trick so it's something I focus on providing feedback on. I don't like waxing shit and rely on speed, so a wheel catching and slowing down is a deal-breaker.
I agree with Ben, who I am quoting "they slide almost as well, if not better than STF, but are way slower than an F4", which is what I/others ride and are comparing them too. You said they were as good as F4 for grinds and slides hence our original tiff
So now that I have clarified yet again maybe you should do some introspection on your own memory recall, but I won't stoop as low to bring up learning disorders since yes, I have several, and have spent most of my life trying to learn how to communicate better with myself and colleagues and know how frustrating it can be to not be able to converse normally without significant effort.
You're also the one that insulted me by calling me a kook. I do not recall insulting you, just said that you admit you can't or don't do basic grinds and that your last 2 pages of your post history indicate that you nerd out on small details of wheels and never seem fully happy with anything. I hope you are finally at peace with your Powell Dragons!
