There was always something a little strange about Shane O’Neill. Those glazed over, lifeless eyes. How he looks exactly the same in every single photo. The combinations usually reserved for button mashing video games.
Turns out we weren’t far from the truth, Shane is much more than a great skateboarder, he is a high-tech biorobot. Developed back in 1989 to become the most sophisticated and technologically advanced skateboarder ever, Shane has become even more lifelike as technology has accelerated. We met up with him in the underground Multinex lab deep in Austrailia, where he was getting a 16G RAM increase before the next Street League stop.
