That could be the greatest bar slide of all time.

Where was this in the school level for THPS?

These antihomeless measures are getting out of hand.

Serious question: This in a skate park?

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

As best I can find it's an art installation in Wisconsin.

I know some skaters are daredevils but I think this would be too much for even them to try. You'd need a huge downhill to first get enough speed to make the loop, then you'd have to hop like 3+ feet up onto the fairly narrow tabletop at the perfect moment while already going crazy fast. Not to mention how tight the loop is (but you can't really tell in the OP, I only saw that in the thing I linked).

Like, I've been watching a lot of Andy Anderson vids lately, and he's great and all, but ain't no way

Yeah, taking the loop would be suicide, but I was thinking more of doing tricks off the odd angles.

Thanks for the info (and the science lesson).

If it isn't, this belongs in some Tony Hawk Pro Skater game, maybe someone could ROM hack in a new level.

I have no clue if the franchise or even genre is still really alive, I stopped following like a decade ago when Project Skate was announced, had to focus on schoolwork lol.

New release recently in the franchise, on gamepass and stuff.

Hah, it should be! But as far as I can tell, the picture is of an art installation. Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, in Wisconsin.

Some kid with a skateboard is going to try going all the way around

I dunno why, but I have always been obsessed with sculpture that takes a common form or object and stretches it to make it seemingly bend reality.

My favorite example is this sculpture they have on the campus of Carnegie Mellon University. It is a long, tapered pole that goes on into the sky, and it has statues of people walking vertically up it, and depending on the weather and what time of day it is, it has this very convincing effect. Really makes you think that people are walking up into the sky for a second.

Oh how the turns have tables

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Oh, how the turntables.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

We could really use 3 picnic tables.

Sorry, we can only afford 2

I mean, if it rains, you have some cover.
