Posted June 4, 2015 Have you tried a 1980's skateboard? Those ball bearings and brick wheels kinda sucked. There's a reason it took them so long to catch on properly :3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 4, 2015 +1 Always good to have more variety in forms of transportation. And I wanna do some sweet kickflips and use a bridge as a grind rail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 4, 2015 I actually thought the suggestion was a joke ... until I saw all the support for the idea ....-1 (it doesn't fit the era, plain and simple) There is no 'era' that has dragons and magic. Your argument is nonsense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 4, 2015 There is no 'era' that has dragons and magic. Your argument is nonsense. Yes this is a 'Fantasy Realm' but it based in the Dark Ages on Canterbury Tales and Myths and Legends of Europe. Neither Merlin, King Arthur, or Beowulf ever rode a skateboard. Besides even if you could get a modern day skateboard to Wurm it would be practically useless since it would need modern sidewalks or roads to ride it on. It could not be ridden on grass, dirt, gravel, cobblestone, floorboards, or any uneven non-smooth surface. Even marble and stone slabs would not be good enough because they are just slabs no mortar to fill the gaps or hold them together leaving gaps and uneven corners that would not be very 'ride-able' on a skateboard. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems you know as little about skateboarding as you do history and fantasy. well you see there are these things called eyes which can be used in combination with legs and leg muscles and the properties of the trucks to swerve to avoid such an obstacle Edited June 4, 2015 by mrtaccgnol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There will NEVER be skateboards in Wurm, and that makes me very happy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) Early skateboards did not have trucks and in a dark age society those gaps would be far more numerous. and avoiding things is really tough they were a PITA. to turn. Edited June 4, 2015 by Bachus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 4, 2015 Early skateboards did not have trucks and in a dark age society those gaps would be far more numerous. and avoiding things is really tough they were a PITA. to turn. That thing wouldn't be hard to create even in the setting of Wurm A crude, hard to navigate skateboard would be good enough for me and I can easily imagine slabs to be even enough for a comfortable ride.

You're hopefully aware that those are 2 mutually exclusive feelings, right?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. You must be trolling, because in no way are those two feelings absolutely mutually exclusive. Being at the opposite end of the spectrum doesn't make them exclusive to each other. For example: A person can hate a sports team, and be happy when that team loses. If anything, as the example shows, those two feelings can be completely congruent to each other depending on the context. Now if I said I hate skateboards, but love skateboarding, that would be an oxymoron. Checkmate. Edited June 4, 2015 by Slickshot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
