idk i just think in my opinion people are getting too caught up in what they have and not just riding.
whats your opinion?

well, yeah...if you can ride it, you can slide it...
BUT some people (myself included) watch the paskapoo slide rodeo on youtube and want to/can do multiple spins, crazy sh!t, all kinds of standups, and tons of grabs and slides. this is where the fancy setups come in.
as far as sliding a dervish? yeah, people way overthink that...but tech sliding is a whole different animal, it's a whole discipline in itself, and it needs special setups.
