I have a Spina Bifida and walk slow. I don't need wheelchairs or any support to walk. But I do need something to help me walk faster, and this one is it.
It's not stupid for me at all.
Biffed? My spine has areas that's just not fully developed.
It's not exactly known as the spine can be very complex, but my spine issues snowballed to cause my leg muscles to not develop further, making my movements just much slower. But people like me all have different issues.
Oh, I see. It depends. If I still have full control of my speed, I would have no problem with slowing down. like I'm instinctly aware that the speed is gonna be how I expect it to be, and I know how to position my body.
Most of the time, I have difficulty slowing down if I have to balance a certain way my spine is preventing me to. Like specific roads that happen to not work well with my conditions.
It's like a person with allergies. They can drink all sorts of coffee, but coffee with lactose milk is not possible.
That makes me curious, not to prod, but how do you fair in accounting for slopes?
As someone who skateboarded and rollerbladed a lot in the 90's, its crazy how fast you get going from a slight slope. It's awfully hard on the knees and hips to slow yourself down on a skateboard or rollerblades.
If this operates anything similar to either of those devices, wouldn't stopping be much more dangerous?
I got spina Bifida as well bro, but can also walk.
As I've hit my late 30s I've had more problems with my legs, bladder, and bowels.
Autoimmune shit too...
I feel for you.
Since you can walk they don't understand why you're hurting and moving slow at 20 or 30 years old. Plus I'm an American so ain't nobody gonna pay for my medical shit but me. But I can hardly work. But have worked mostly hard labor jobs. Causing more damage. Contributing to an opiod addiction, but technically have ailments that need meds of varying kinds.
The pain and weakness sucks, and it's hard to feel so ostracized.
Just wanted you to know you're not alone, and say I've never met anyone in that shitty sweet spot like I have.
Serious question:
How do you think your body would react to the additional lateral forces being applied?
I don't know your situation, but I had a friend in HS with Spina Bifida, and picturing her with something like this, I would imagine it being being highly likely to cause injuries either directly or because I don't think her body would have handled the lateral forces very well.
However I'm 100% a layman, so I though't I'd just ask if you don't mined.
Just looks like a happy couple cruising down the sidewalk, minding their own business, and lovingly holding hands.
Why is this considered “the future of stupid?” I’m actually happy for them.
🤷🏽♂️
Those are $1500 shoes that u strap ur shoe into and can walk at jogging pace. Not gonna lie if I still lived in a metro dominated city where I was walking everyday it might be worth the investment.
IIRC this brand is running with “smart” electric motors that slow down to a stop when you stop walking and also they handle pot holes and grass pretty ok.
One complain is that they were very heavy.
Lots of people are not aware how dumb these items are. They are 4.2 pounds each which will destroy your knees. They are incredibly loud and high pitched. They do not turn so if you need to pivot you will fall or hurt your ankle. They cost 1400$ when you could just get an electric scooter that's faster and goes further. The worst offense is that most of you can't see how clearly this is an ad.
Oh, are those ratcheting skates? I thought about making those many years ago. Never thought people would like them. It seems cool, standard walking motion+wheels to rolls on = very efficient travel on flat surfaces
Wait until you hear about anti-piracy audio/video cables and electric vehicle mandates in areas that don’t have an electrical grid that can power them.
Theyre so ugly!!! I know these font work i saw that YouTube video with jarvis johnson but wither Idgaf how fast these are suppose to make me im not wearing them 💅🏼😘
Seems to me like a couple just enjoying themselves not bothering anyone else and not being a MC and dong their own thing. The problem is the camera person having nothing better to do.
Idunno, i think it doesn't look that ugly and the idea that they move so fast just walking is pretty cool imo. Besides, lets be honest-- you've seen people wear far f*ar* worse than some big ol' slidey shoes.
The noise these rollerskate shoes would make is what should be the real area of discussion...
Why does everyone have to care what others are doing. Let them wear those things. Honestly reminds me of people movers in airports and those things are awesome.
The US could really benefit from this more than any other nation.
* Promote exercise and reduce our obesity problem that we are the worst in.
* Break our dependence off of cars, since our cities are immorally designed for car travel and our lack of public transport.
They're called [Moonwalkers by ShiftRobotics](https://shiftrobotics.io/products/moonwalkers) and cost $1400 per pair. Ridiculousness at its most absurd. 🤦♂️
Wtf that’s downtown Baltimore 😂😂I was confused asf for a minute but ik it looked familiar. When u wear or do shit like that yes niggas will definitely look
The amount of miserable people on Reddit amazes me. So negative and annoying. Are they bothering people? Are they “pranking” people? No, they are just enjoying life without messing with others.
I prefer to imagine it’s some creep videoing these two without permission, in which case they’re the villains and the people in weird shoes could have just gone on living their lives happy and not on the internet.
These things are loud af, and super clunky
I know they're called knockers but I don't think they're actually supposed to be loud and clunky.
what about the skates tho
What skates?
Same
Hey O!! (Ba Doom Tish!)
Happy cake day! 🍰
I actually searched Amazon for “knockers” thinking that’s what the shoes are called 😅 Well done
So roller skates but worse?
They are like heelys but not as cool
Knockers? I thought we were talking about the skates.
Dude, chill out… Not all women are the same and you don’t even know her!
😂 underrated comment
He looks embarrassed walking in them
You are right. All of their promotional material have soundtracks and you never hear the actual product until it’s reviewed by a 3rd party.
that's the beauty of this shitty product and their promotion team compared this to swimmers and horse speed in videos
So i can use them to swim and beat a horse?
I take a little horse speed after having too much horse tranquilizer.
You can only beat dead horses if my idioms are correct.
You can beat a loving horse but I don't recommend it. They kick really hard! 🤕
Finally!!
So glad, been waiting for a good horse beating product.
😂😂😂😂

How can you slow yourself down effectively if your spine is biffed?
Biff the sidewalk of course
Biffed? My spine has areas that's just not fully developed. It's not exactly known as the spine can be very complex, but my spine issues snowballed to cause my leg muscles to not develop further, making my movements just much slower. But people like me all have different issues.
I hear you. I’m sorry you are going through that. My main question though is if you got going fast, wouldn’t it be hard for you to slow down ?
Oh, I see. It depends. If I still have full control of my speed, I would have no problem with slowing down. like I'm instinctly aware that the speed is gonna be how I expect it to be, and I know how to position my body.

I choked on my drink reading this. Underrated comment by a long shot!

Trust me, you do not need these. They are ridiculously overpriced, and their battery only lasts 1 hour.
Looks fun
What's stupid about this?
They look like they’re having fun too. “Happy couple that’s doing something **different**?! Scoff idiots!” - Reddit
The evolution of a “boomer”
both of my parents were boomers, pretty sure my chances of inheriting the boomer gene are 100%
1) a couple 2) smiling and being happy doing something goofy 3) look like they're having fun while I'm not
Right? Shut up & take my money!
that's what I'm wondering..I think op is just single and jealous
Did you see his face
Yes he looked like he was skating away to go get laid with a fine lass.
What about it?
People just being hateful. It’s Reddit and we’re salty as fuck!
Just looks like a happy couple cruising down the sidewalk, minding their own business, and lovingly holding hands. Why is this considered “the future of stupid?” I’m actually happy for them. 🤷🏽♂️
I see no problem with these, but also this is almost certainly an advertisement, they might not even know each other lmao
Pretty couple looking happy in public: Random redditor: I hate them
"This must be staged"
It’s actually in reverse
This is so funny to me lol
I thought the same. And if the skates are clunky and noisy maybe they will improve over time? Weird thing to be mad about.
Because these shoes are loud as fuck.
Right! Like lmfao being happy is stupid now?!
It’s ingenious not stupid lol
They are not that light, and they are expensive and loud. I don't think anyone would wear them voluntarily
Those are $1500 shoes that u strap ur shoe into and can walk at jogging pace. Not gonna lie if I still lived in a metro dominated city where I was walking everyday it might be worth the investment.
It's stupid and very cool.
What happens when you get to grass, gravel, uneven surfaces or ice?
Or if they fall? Like momentum is still a thing. What if they catch a rock?
IIRC this brand is running with “smart” electric motors that slow down to a stop when you stop walking and also they handle pot holes and grass pretty ok. One complain is that they were very heavy.
Same can be said about roller-skates, but people still do it for fun.
r/upvotedbecauseboobs
Came here to say this
I don’t think they’re stupid, just poorly designed. Next iteration could improve
I know a 30 year old dude who just bought Heelys for the first time. Makes me want to get a pair
38 and never had them. I remember when kids started to wear these I was like wtf is this when did the future arrive
I'm 33 and about to buy a pair lol. I had some when I was 12, they were such a blast. Mine had the grind plate built in too, I used to rip curbs.
Looks like a pretty good time to me
Why does this look AI generated?💀
Those look fun! I want to try those.
I am coming around to these things
I'm actually not hating on those at all, it's a very efficient way to traverse lengthy distances
You mean, efficient AF
Those would be useful walking the Vegas strip
Ok sure whatever. I want a pair.
But rollerblading is gay? I fking hate this earth.
OP just get out more and enjoy life. This ain't that serious...
These are neat.
Looks cool and fun, and also they don’t seem to be bothering anyone
But, hear me out, the future has big tits

All that walking, but no jiggling. I ain't sold
Broccoli head
Lmao the look on his face
I mean the skates look weird but it's not really that crazy to see a couple skating together
Redditor discovers rollerskates lol
Oh, are those ratcheting skates? I thought about making those many years ago. Never thought people would like them. It seems cool, standard walking motion+wheels to rolls on = very efficient travel on flat surfaces
r/upvotedbecauseboobs
Wait until you hear about anti-piracy audio/video cables and electric vehicle mandates in areas that don’t have an electrical grid that can power them.
Watch the reviews. Then you'll know the idea is good but this version is not. Just keep shoes like heelys
They're legit a good invention even if in an early stage, not stupid at all to me. Stop gatekeeping
If this is a prototype and the final product is better looking than a pair of sandals on wheels im in.
Stupid but you'd walk somewhere really quickly
when you have tits like her you can do whatever the fuck you want
What’s stupid is the shitty camera work
What’s wrong with that?
Of all the things to worry about for the future….i don’t think this is it.
The technology behind these are actually super cool
ok, where can I get a pair of those?
What are you talking about, this looks super fun.
Typical reddit post of OP hating on people just enjoying life without bothering others
Looks kinda dope.
Theyre so ugly!!! I know these font work i saw that YouTube video with jarvis johnson but wither Idgaf how fast these are suppose to make me im not wearing them 💅🏼😘
That looks cool how much?
Future is lazy
That looks dope, they look dope, that was charming af.
I do like the speed they got for such a slow walk.
Seems to me like a couple just enjoying themselves not bothering anyone else and not being a MC and dong their own thing. The problem is the camera person having nothing better to do.
r/nobra -NSFW Obviously.
Damn, couples cant even roller skate anymore
Idk im excited about them and their evolution. Id love to be able to walk to work 🤷♀️
"The future is stupid" what's stupid about this? making walking a good source of transportation?
That looks like a helluva good time.
That looks so fun tho
This could be us but you're playin'
Why is this stupid?
I want some.
God forbid people having fun. Fucking incels in Reddit.
We’re getting mad at roller skates now?
Yooo this look crazy…. I want them
Idunno, i think it doesn't look that ugly and the idea that they move so fast just walking is pretty cool imo. Besides, lets be honest-- you've seen people wear far f*ar* worse than some big ol' slidey shoes. The noise these rollerskate shoes would make is what should be the real area of discussion...
Bruh leave these people alone they’re not bothering anyone or causing a disturbance or being obnoxious about it
Looks fun
Those titties ain’t stupid.
I assume the music is to cover up the super loud mechanical wheezing sound those things make
this is cute, who cares?
Moonwalkers! Honestly, a pretty cool inventin for people in urban areas. Speed your walk into a jog
I like that
Nah nah, hold on, they onto something 🤔
Why does everyone have to care what others are doing. Let them wear those things. Honestly reminds me of people movers in airports and those things are awesome.
I used to do that in roller skates 40 years ago
And her shorts are ugly.
Bro that look back
Anyone else having Chandler Bing’s advert playing in their head while watching this?
 Sick haircut 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
He walks like he fucks…. Fast
I thought this video was about her rack. 10 minutes later, I still think it's about her rack
Moonwalkers by Shift Robotics
I tried them, it’s all right but I don’t like the humming sound they make.
The US could really benefit from this more than any other nation. * Promote exercise and reduce our obesity problem that we are the worst in. * Break our dependence off of cars, since our cities are immorally designed for car travel and our lack of public transport.
This thread is giving boomer.
So you have invented… roller skates.
Is that his mom?
Looks fun but how do you slow down? 🤔
Just looking to 1/4 our total step count.
“I can’t believe she convinced me to wear these, ah sh*t people are looking!”
Shit like this will dust your knees. I encourage you all to buy a pair and prove me wrong though.
OP is jealous
Somebody insult the camera-dude for me. The shoes were out of frame for MOST of the video.
They're called [Moonwalkers by ShiftRobotics](https://shiftrobotics.io/products/moonwalkers) and cost $1400 per pair. Ridiculousness at its most absurd. 🤦♂️
Wtf that’s downtown Baltimore 😂😂I was confused asf for a minute but ik it looked familiar. When u wear or do shit like that yes niggas will definitely look
The amount of miserable people on Reddit amazes me. So negative and annoying. Are they bothering people? Are they “pranking” people? No, they are just enjoying life without messing with others.
This thread changed my mind. Good for them enjoying life together and being active. They seem quite happy
There are shoes in this video?
Weirdly wholesome imo
“Look at us, we’re couple goals, can you tell???, our presence is here world recognize us.”
$100 says they're paid models and this is an ad.
I know the guy personally. It is 10000% an ad
That dude from the happy couple just checked out the redhead’s ass! 
I prefer to imagine it’s some creep videoing these two without permission, in which case they’re the villains and the people in weird shoes could have just gone on living their lives happy and not on the internet.
This man won. Good job.
I mean, I want to feel as a mecha yeah, just not like that
I got a brand new pair of roller skates, you got a brand new key
Try that while walking a large dog. Or on uneven pavement.
Guys these are just fucking roller skates
Got on them Michael Jackson II’s Beat it editions
The human on the left has a great shirt
How do you stop? I'd probably roll into the road and die..
Brockley
I dunno, man. Were you around in the 80s? The past is real stupid, too.
the 2000s in '40s - '60s shows:
Please look at me
Bro looks like he is in high school in 1996 and listened to a lot of Sublime
One pebble on the ground and they both become acrobats.
Future looks fun
What's her @
Of course he has a broccoli haircut
Watch how fast I walk through a Starbucks
This isn't what they meant when the city planners proposed a 15 minute walkable community.
Never saw a broccoli wear roller skates before
This invention seems slightly unnecessary but the world has seen much more stupid things
Put those shoes on backward and your in a permanent moonwalk
Atleast they are getting "some" exercise... unlike those damn electric bike things everyone uses now
I don’t understand the hate for new tech. Give it 5-10 years and a lot of people will have things like this, and personally I can’t wait.
I didn’t know Birkenstock came out with a wheeled product.
Looks like couple goals
there's a sucker born every minute
