Sliding

The gloves themselves are comfortable to wear and the pucks are small enough to enable most basic hand configurations without inhibiting movement. Nabbing a rail and hopping into a tuck is simple. The pucks are still large enough to spread friction and permit solid slides at speed. The material is slick and slippery, and produces a high-tone when the pucks are sliding or clapped together. The slight curvature of the puck faces seems to help accentuate cornering at high speeds. It's a puck style I had never encountered but found it quite comfortable when leaning out on the toeside for a quick trajectory change.

The slide itself is fast and drag free. The majority of the wear on the pucks is similar to what you would find on most High Density pucks, no snowing or melting of the puck. Typical wear is speedlines and edge fraying --no undue failure of the material ,either during speed runs or sliding. With pucks coming in at $7 a set for Velcro replacements the wear issues on the pucks seem well taken care of and the durable nature of the gloves would allow them to outlast many pairs of pucks. All points of stress on the gloves survived sliding with no wear.  The only minor area of wear on the gloves was a minute point from thumb contact which, even with the repetitions of runs in the hallowed halls of the So Cal speed runs, still has yet to effect the integrity of the gloves in any way.
