I know a couple wheelchair users who would send it. There are guys here in medellin that ride their wheelchairs in the skate parks.
I wonder how those guys ended up in wheelchairs.
There must be one who were always more risky but I have heard some change after an accident and think, well what could go wrong now, might as well go for it
“What’s the worst that happens, I break a leg?”
I would love to see that, is competitive wheelchair skateboarding a thing? Because I’d watch the shit out of that!
It’s a thing. It’s called WCMX like BMX but wheelchair instead of bike.
Found a video. Legit looks pretty sick. I just can’t help but think that the tech still looks pretty primitive, and wonder what future iterations of these chairs will look like.
The chairs are essentially full suspension bmx frames and wheels in the form of a wheel chair. They’re legit.
Fuck, that’s amazing! That guy is pretty impressive.
The “let me just jump into a new wheelchair” was fantastic
i was digging the grind down the center of the chair
but i wish he wouldn’t do flips, those chairs are heavy and he barely had clearance
awesome vid but that dude is chasing a serious injury
About to say, some guy in a wheelchair with the ol Popeye forearms is gonna break records on that ramp.
For a brief moment in time, nana never felt more alive.
TÜV sagt nein.
DIN 18040
Ramps, external ramp, internal ramp, handrail
Access areas at entrances with a gradient of 3% or more must be designed as ramps. With a length of up to 10 m, a longitudinal gradient of up to 4% is permitted. Ramps must be safe to walk and drive on. Drainage must be ensured in the outdoor area.
Ramps in public areas must always be designed in accordance with DIN 18040-1 with a maximum gradient of 6% and without a transverse gradient!
- Longitudinal gradient: max.6%
- Transverse gradient: 0
- Clear width: min.1.20m
- Length of ramp run: max.6.00m
- Length of intermediate landing: min.1.50m
- Height of wheel deflector: min.0.10m
- Height of handrail on both sides: 0.85 to 0.95m with flush finish
- Handrail diameter: 0.035 to 0.04m
6% gradient, 100% gradient, what’s the difference really
Everything is relative anyway. Just choose a different plane of reference and you’re good to go!
That’s a manufacturer’s opinion
When its wet like this it would serve as a great slide. Just take some plastic sheet or something and down you go :)
And wear your plate mail underpants, lest you learn the true meaning of splinters.
That’s why you need the sheet
Linoleum works great for this
Just make sure nobody is on the way up/down lmao

Lights out!
I think he’s talking about Superman by Goldfinger. I think that was in thps1 though
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it uuuuuuuuup!
That makes more sense, excellent song, excellent soundtrack!
Pfff… Goddamn fact checkers and their party pooping…

What’s wrong, McFly? Chicken?
Just need some redbull
Cowabunga, it is.
Checkbox compliance
Where’s that bottom step going though?
If you check where the handrail supports are each step with one extends out and supports the beams
I mean that doesn’t feel normal, like the steps were put in, and then a few people fell off and so the handrail had to be installed by taking off a few steps, putting in an extended one and doing it that way.
I’d say the ramp is probably for pushing a bike up and down it or something, and the wheelchair sticker is just a joke.
Well of course it’s a joke. I just answered your question of where the step is going.
I am suspicious that this is ai.
There are very strange contractual elements and structural decisions in all of this, yet i find no digital artifacts.
But nothing really sticks out as ai. The text is legible even though a bit blurry. I doubt ai would get that right.

Which support beams? The handrail supporst are fixed to an extended step where they are. I assume that is the same for the lowest one.
This compulsive uttering of “this is AI!” is starting to annoy me more than any AI picture. Nothing personal against you - you are just one of many who are guilty of this. Humans are very good at building crappy stuff and then claiming that it’s safe and wheelchair accessible.
Put a winch at the top and this could work…
…along with another person to operate the winch, coordination/communication, and a special harness to make sure the wheelchair occupant does not tip backwards or start skewing left or right mid-flight… and maybe some special insurance.
