Low centre of mass, very important!
This is so cool.
That is so cool.

Let’s say AI does NOT exist I would really be amazed.
But because AI DOES exist my reaction is, OK, nice video and I go blank.
There are ZERO pictures I trust anymore. In a way it gives me peace of mind but I also lose a lot of enjoyment.
It is like having lost my taste and smell after COVID. I eat but ……
But that’s life 😁
#AI
Yes. A.I. was my first thought too. But if it's A.I. it's well done. Thinking of faking peoples reactions such as the couple at the lower end of the stair (reaction to the sound of the skadeboard) is way more than I would expect. This also goes for the traces of humidity on the tarmac and klinker-path.
I'm in the very same boat. But this gem here? That just looks too damn good. I don't even wanna consider the possibility that it might be AI generated. And that's it for me. :)
@ericschutte @Natasha_Jay This one does look a little too smooth to be absolutely 100% not AI, but I have seen similar vids that look "right".
Corgis may be the genetic ideal for skateboarding. Low to the ground, reasonable density, and smart enough to understand how it works.
Cruising around on a skateboard is something cats and dogs can learn. Corgis have probably the perfect shape and size for it.
I've even seen it with my own eyes, though a dog is a bit too light to steer a downhill deck, so it was more or less just straight forward and backward.

I was also skeptical about whether it was real, so I searched YouTube and found dog-on-skateboard clips that were older than four years. One is even 17 years old, so I'll believe it, and even will boost it, which rarely happens with me and dogs.

Someone liked my answer today, so I searched youtube again and found this one from 2014:
The description says:
"18 months of teaching then practicing, 6 months of that for filming and editing, so please, don't try this at home."
and it is a cat which makes it even better, but some dogs are also involved 😁

And I found out, there are even skateboarding dogs records in the guinness book (under 20 secs for 100 m)
clips are also on youtube.

@ericschutte
Exactly my thoughts :(
it seems a bit _too_ good
which does make me wonder if it real...
That corgie knows how to skateboard, and loves what s/he knows!
Meanwhile, I would fall off within 2 feet :)
