Yeah, the part where it ended and I swore I would never watch it again.

I've had people reference that movie when I was providing tech support for them a few years ago.   :'(

Yeah... Orbital's Halcyon + On + On + On in the start of the movie and young Angelina Jolie in a swimming pool are two good things about that movie.

Hmmm good movie, and good uses for skates.

Old fasioned rocket skates for the insane, or customized drones for those of us even more insane.

Everyone hates that movie lol. I love it and will till the day I die lol. But yea I had this deal one time that my character had hoverskates if there was an aro on it advertising for a skate company. Those things were wicked but I kept having to talk to people in game about em. Too inconvenient. The point was made:(

One of my all-time favorite characters was named Lucky. Edge 8. He was a Combat Biker. Drive Groundcraft skill 2. Gymnastics skill 6. Bought a custom bike. It had an ejection seat. He wore skates. Anyone see where I'm going with this?

Loved the movie.

My idea was for smuggling runs that were too short/in too crowded a place for a car or a bike, because the blades can get in tighter spaces then either, and, well, combine that with Wall Running or similar, with
some wax grenades or something, and Light Step, and you're running away laughing while the enemy is slipping up. There's actually a variety of uses for them when it comes down to it.

Also, think about it. Your Technomancer/Hacker has a solid hacking ability allowing them to skate around the building they are hacking, not letting the enemy get a good lock on them. Or at least making it a hard time.

hmmm...Rollerskates/blades, on an adept, flying through the streets (and other places) in the sprawl. Yes, hat could be quite fun.

Wanna imagine getting kicked in the face by those things? I sure don't. Especially not by the troll that can go as fast as a midsized Toyota in them.

You'd rather not use Red Script as this is normally for Moderators or Admins
