hence the "I guess I should be wary" part, as people have told me conflicting things about 7075.
as for steel forks, I ride lsv3s so I guess I have the worst of both worlds

consider this, it is a stronger, stiffer material in mechanical properties than 6061 so what do you do with it? make it thinner. problem is that it still has a similar flex with added stiffness which come from it being a different grade/series of alu with different chemical makeup which makes it brittle so to speak so it snaps with little bending. a heavier than usual landing added with stiffness of scs or hic could be enough to hit failure point. you are comparing an ethic/addict fork, chances are it is alot thinner in the forktube than say a pair of tilts. most 7075 forks are about 1/2 the wall thickness when logically speaking should be 30% less than 6061. much more to point out but that will come if talked about which i highly doubt.

Lsv3's are Alu mate
ya I know they're 6061 so not as strong as steel but ostensibly weaker than 7075

These shoes are a scheme. Like for god sakes buy something that will last. "Omg sc00ter shoes support r1der owned!!1!" Well no. If vex idk actually listened to what everyone wants in a scooter shoes i would buy these in a heart beat. This is 2014. I would personally like to see thick, yet light, soles and bottom of shoe. Also triple stitched and extra matierial at the toes would be great.

You have been riding for like three months, you have no idea what the fuck you are talking about.
The company is based out of Australia, and have not released much information, so you have no idea who they are talking to and what ideas they have for their company.

Just chill out for awhile don't make random threads or comment on things within the sport until you have more knowledge and experience. Nothing is more annoying then a new rider coming into the sport and acting like he knows what scootering is all about, you don't, trust me. Just do the community a favor and lay low for a bit.

Bro just because you don't like the shoes doesn't mean other people won't.
I can't stand shoes like those ones at all, but I'm not here to tell other people to like the shoes that I prefer
