How convenient, no link at all.
face it, acrylic suks.
Talk to anyone who really owns a cobaltflux or bns and see if they managed to break or crack an arrow yet. I haven't. 
Added: In fact, acrylic sucks sh*t.
To be honest, i dont know exactly what polycarbonate means, but this is from personal experience:
I bought the old version of BNS and broke those acrlyic arrows within 2 months.
(plus, an arrow was BOA= Broken on arrival)
I bought the new version, am, and have been stomping on it for the last 2 months without any sign of a single arrow cracking.
(plus, it arrived IOP= In one piece.)
You figure it out. |

OK, i mixed up the pads. I thought the new Neo pad w/ frame border thing was the same as the BNS. However, this changes nothing about what i said about Acrylic arrows.
I cannot but help being amazed at your ignorance. After explaining my position and even backing it up with evidence you still still are saying that ALL acrylic sucks for the sole reason that it is acrylic. As i explained this makes no logical sense whatsoever. The acrylic used in manufactured DDR pads such as old BNS/etc. may be of very low strenght and quality, and hence crack, but this is not a fault of being ACRYLIC. Acrylic in and of itself != bad.

Course lexan pwns . It's just pretty expensive if you're building a home pad or whatnot.
Oh, and i'm not a programmer. I started learning, but then i got too lazy, so i stopped. i really want to though, so maybe i'll have to get motivated again....  |

It's not some mythical thing that's coated on the arrows to make them stronger and more l33t. They're simply polycarbonate, not acrylic. Basically the same, merely different chemical basis. When they say "POLY Carbonated" it merely makes them sound clueless. Are the arrows some new type of soft drink perhaps?
Oh, and because an arrow is "hard acrylic plastic" does not mean that it will break. In fact, if you check out the Homepad thread almost everyone uses some form of acrylic. I think there have been 2 or 3 that used polycarbonate panels instead. Maybe all these metal pads use poor quality acrylic, or a weaker type of acrylic; it does not follow that just because the arrows are acrylic that they will break.

That pad he talked about wasnt this pad, it was an older version and it sucked.

That was me, i posted about my girlfriends that started cracking too, but that ddr pad is really really old but still works like a champ....about the polycarbonated arrows, I honestly don't think they were. I bought that before they used that type of material (i think). So no one base the decision to buy polycarbonated arrows on my experience because those cracking arrows were just a hard plastic (crap x4).
And Wizard also summed it up.... "It was.....Old pad....suck..." the rest was left out because it was unimportant, only the keywords have been left in. But it still works fine though, just a little cracky.  |

167 (Im getting fat)
Hell yes. I stomp mudholes when I play ddr. I jump as high as I can and SLAM down on it whenever there's a break in the song.
Ya, (blows fingernails) I play max300 everyday. I ONLY play the fast songs. I fly like a butterfly and sweat like a pig.
I play almost an hour a day, and about 2 1/2 hours on weekends.
About 2 1/2 months |
