I don’t think that is what he said. He said raw speed does not equal flow. To break it down, just doing tricks as quickly as you can does note equate to good flow. Does not equal is not the same as does not have?

Also of note is the comment raw speed. That would imply that it was in organized or structured. If it is organized and structured it could have flow, but in its raw state speed would not immediately equal flow. There is the possibility that raw speed may accidentally line up with body movement, music and performance. In that case raw speed would have flow, but still not equal flow.

At least that’s how I understand it. I happen to agree that raw speed is not equal flow.

yeah, ok, just plain speed and that’s it, is not the very definition of flow. I know that. But without speed, flow is impossible. And that’s what I originally stated. Thank you.

Arguing about “flow” is the same as arguing about “floaty”. It’s pretty pointless since it seems that every person you ask has a different opinion on what it actually is.
