To everyone who has been here since day one: thank you. Aeperion started from something small, but building this for you has meant everything to me. I want to be completely transparent about our launch: we only prepared a very small batch for this first drop to make absolutely sure the quality of every single pad is flawless. If they sell out fast, please don't stress. The Crafted to Perform series is a permanent lineup, and we will always be restocking them. We don't believe in gatekeeping top-tier performance behind artificial hype or FOMO, as everyone deserves access to gear that pushes their limits. Support comes in many forms, so whether you’re buying or just watching, thank you for being here. See you at 5 PM 🫡

Cordierite has another name that most people don't know. Vikings used thin slices of it to locate the sun on overcast days when the sky gave them nothing to work with. They called it the compass stone. That stuck with me when I was thinking about what to name the slowest pad in the Gem Series, because control surfaces get used in exactly that situation. When the game slows down in your head and every movement needs to mean something.

Your will doesn't waver. Your setup shouldn't either. Gem Series — Cordierite.

Work isn't everything, and neither is gaming. So find your balance point. Mine happens to be 46.9cm/360.

Chrysolite is an old name for olivine, a yellow-green mineral that was considered one of the most precious stones before modern gemology came along and quietly reclassified it. Something genuinely valuable that got overlooked. That felt right for this one because fast pads have a reputation for being flashy, and I wanted to show that speed and control aren't mutually exclusive if the surface is built carefully enough. Chrysolite sits at the faster side of the Gem Series lineup, it's not super fast but still above Quartz and Cordierite, and the speed comes from the texture. It's a bit more present than the other two surfaces and that subtle texture is actually what creates the faster feel, your skates are interacting with more textured surface on each movement. It does take some break-in time before everything clicks, but when it does the flicks feel different in a way that's hard to explain until you've been on it for a few sessions.
Aeperion@AeperionHQ

An extension of your will shouldn't be working against you in game. Aeperion Gem Series — Chrysolite ships with below surface stitching so the boundary of the pad never interrupts your flicks or pulls your attention away from the game. The surface is all you should be thinking about.

That's a completely fair concern and honestly one I've been sitting with too. I'm going to test it properly before it goes anywhere near mass production, the last thing I want is to fix one variable and introduce another. Product quality is everything to me so that's not a step I'd skip. And yeah, sometimes you make a call that turns out to be wrong or doesn't get recognized, but I'd rather be the one trying things and finding out than just leaving it as an unsolved problem for the community. Someone has to actually go do it.

Thank you so much for your extensive reply! Your experiences are def. something to learn from, I'll keep that in the back of my mind next time I talk about this topic with other people. The environment and condition of the pad definitely do play a huge role. I really do wonder if that sort of spray would mess with the gliding characteristics, though, but I'm very happy that you care this much. Your product really does seem to be a passion project. Definitely agree with you about consistency, though. It matters a lot, especially if you're in a humid environment.

One thing I found useful when I was researching skate materials is the napkin test. If you rub a PTFE skate against a pad for a bit and hold it near small paper scraps, it attracts them. That’s triboelectric charging in action, and it’s just something PTFE does because of where it sits on the triboelectric series. POM doesn’t really do that in the same way. I’m not saying that’s the only reason feel changes over time, there are probably other factors too. But when I was deciding what to run on Skyline it felt like an unnecessary variable to keep around, especially for players who are actively trying to build consistent muscle memory.
Axilyn@Axilyn

Honestly the skate decision for Skyline came out of something pretty boring. I was doing long testing sessions and kept noticing that the feel I had during warmup wasn’t quite what I had later in the game. I went back and forth on whether it was fatigue, whether it was the pad itself, and at some point started looking more carefully at the skate material. PTFE accumulates surface charge through friction, it’s just a property of the material, and while I can’t tell you exactly how much that contributed to what I was feeling, switching to POM made the sessions feel more consistent to me. That was enough of a reason. I wasn’t really chasing the fastest skate I could find, I just wanted something that felt the same from the first game to the last.
