I don’t care about robots doing kickflips. When do we get our cybernetic exoskeletons that can allow us aging normies to regain our pop and stabilize our bodies like we’re teenagers physically again?

I’m going to get beaten in a game of SKATE by a robot before we get GTA VI.

I’m pretty sure they’ve done blunt double flip on a hand rail already

Hopefully never. Look at that fucked stance!
This is a crime against skateboarding. Is it regular or goofy? It’s front thing is facing right but pushing with its left thing?
Get Duane’s fried ass in here now to start spewing about variabots immediately!

This technology will be used to more efficiently kill enemies of the state.

Also, it's nice knowing someone has / currently is studying the mechanics of skateboarding from a serious physics and engineering angle.


I hope someone publishes an academic paper titled something like "Exact forces and vectors required to tre-flip perfectly", and says something like:

Place feet t here and here. Apply 81% more pressure on the back foot and 19% on the front. Your head must be exactly above (*coordinates*), your hips need to be rotated at 31 degrees, above (*coordinates*). Pop and scoop at a 122 degree angle on the x plane, whatever whatever angle on the z plane, etc. Here's all the calcs, followed by 100 pages of calcs.

I don't know but I feel extremely threatened by it. What if they start attracting all the women with their skateboarding prowess? We're cooked if that happens.

We need to form a coalition to prevent robots from kickflipping before it's too late.

Haven’t been kicked out by one, but I’m pretty sure one of those robot food delivery trashcan looking robots alerted authorities that we were skating once at a spot in a college town in Northeast Ohio. I knew a guy who worked for the company that operated them. They’re mostly on auto pilot but the operators can override that and move them on their own (in case they get stuck somewhere stupid).

Cue to 6 months after that when the robot gets jaded too cool for skateboarding and learns to talk shit

"His style is displeasing to the eye ha-ha-ha"

It’s not mandatory but I think robot production is probably bad for the environment. When they hit the market it’s just gonna be like your iPhone or computer. More disposable bs that’s not intended to be repaired or worked on by the general public.

Robots that protect us and save human lives would be alright. But I imagine that they will be used to protect the evil entities in this world and to further erode our democracy.

I wish I could rep so I could rep this post.

Maybe Rudy Rucker can rewrite Software so Cobb Anderson can create skater boppers. The whole novel is them trying to get their freedom so they can skate all day and night.

damn that's actually insane. I wonder what's gonna happen. Imagine getting snaked by a robot at the skatepark from somebody training it.
