I skated for most of my youth and have the same thing going on. I was very happy when someone from my area won SOTY also. I don't really see the same magnitude of fandom during SLS ever occuring. Sometimes people really hate Nyjah or really fan boy for Joslin. Maybe we'll see regional skateboarding teams in the future, but for now we can enjoy skateboarding purely being about the talent. The Olympics will definitely test the waters for this.
- smbullet 8y agoIs this a bot?
- slow_donkey 8y ago? It's mostly coherent. Maybe this is what technical talk sounds like to non-technical people.
- FuckOffNeemo 8y agoConsidering their comment history, I don't think the person we're responding to is none technical. But if AlphaGo and Google Duplex have had a ML/AI child and they're being tested on HN I'm pretty excited about it!
- eckza 8y agoNo, you just don’t understand skateboarding.
- lagadu 8y agoI suspect the comment was because the post had a lot of single sentences; the way it's written definitely has some uncanny valley properties going on.
