Durability Testing the Dirty Caramel Proto  
It’s a fun one! I’m not one to generally use a half-spec for my responsives (vs. a heavy lubed full), but this one hits the nail on the head.

Works surprisingly well at bridging the gap a tad between 0A with a touch of classic string tricks. It’s snappy enough that I can easily hit stalls and tricks like Ping-Pong, but I can still pull off a Skin the Gerbil on a slim bearing without any unexpected snags or bites, which is usually incredibly rare without major caution. One of the few where I’m actually really enjoying the half-spec design. Great work @AudreySickburn!

The added bonus to having the STEM system in there as well is that if it goes through something seriously traumatic, and bends a seat or strips the axle, etc. They can always in theory be swapped out with new hardware.

And for record, it landed on “heads” 😄

Throw it I. A freezer for a few hours then toss it on the concert if it survives its bullet proof. Then do the same but under a heat lamp instead of a freezer.

Ultem operating temperature is like 350 degrees Fahrenheit while maintaining its integrity. It gets more shatter resistant when hot. Summer time is no issue.
