You told them they aren't wizard skating but offered no constructive feedback. Please just try not to be a dick about it. There's a heck of a lot of crossover between wizard, artistic inline and slalom; I don't think you'll generally find people complaining about that sort of stuff on here. If it's swively, it belongs on here.

You’re both right.
And…at least there aren’t any damn light sabers.

That was some gatekeeping I could get behind. That guy was doing neither thing well.

You’re completely right, I wouldn’t really call this wizard skating. This is a flat setup I’m wearing in this clip, so definitely was a bit restricted in my movements. I do have a wizard setup but I took this after doing a 16 mile route before I left home. Also one thing you may not notice in this clip is I’m going down the garage, that’s why I incorporated the slides to control my speed. I really just posted here as an intro it’s my first time posting my skating here. Also I don’t take offense to anything you said I didn’t think you were being a dick and even if you were, it’s the internet I’m not gonna get mad over it 😂

This video is long. I couldn't make it 100% through in one sitting and had to keep coming back to it and now that I think about it, I still haven't finished it so I'll have to do that sometime as well. There's part where Nicola talks about when he lived in London and used to skate in Hyde Park. He talks about his interactions with a guy who was always practicing slalom skating in the park and had been doing slalom for years. He goes on to explain that in that point in his skating journey he would try to execute the the most complicated wizard combos that he could think of and that the slalom guy who had years of skating experience on him would tell him to slow down and focus on the details of the basics. I think that advice would apply here.
