Now that the fish has sufficiently embarrassed me, I think it is time I engage in activities to make me forget all about said embarrassment

The main use is extended airtime and allowing the user to perform tricks of all kinds, like wallriding, corkscrewing up poles and so on. They're used in professional sports like football, and there's this whole.... subculture of AT teams that battle in the Parts War and the yearly Gram Scale Tournament. The speed and balance issue got addressed so long ago no one ever questions it anymore. Most new riders are able to overcome any issues with enough practice.

Here, this is an example diagram of the inside of ATs, and following is the specs rundown I gave Sam-san a while back:

There are three main components: Wheel Motor, Hydraulic Cushion System, and Power Injection System. A braking system is incorporated with most ATs. This is equipped with a power-lock switch built on the outer sole of the skates. It overrides the acceleration system and enables Air Treks to operate as normal inline skates as well. Given that, most riders use a Spin-Turn Stop technique, instead of a regular deceleration system to come to rest. The speed of Air Treks is generated proportional to the power of the user's leg; the assist motor accelerates based on the force of a kick.

Nice to meet you, Fuuka-san. Yes, I was in that tournament. :)

Those sound fascinating. I might have to look more into it later.

So was I. I didn't make it past the first round though.

Let me know if you do. :)

I only made it to the second one, so I... wasn't much better. Did you keep any of your Pokemon? I kept my Chatot and Luxray.

Of course. :)

Yes, I kept my Minun abd my Pachirisu.
