Akima:
I've never seen a skateboarder in real life bring off any trick ever anywhere either. BMX kids are marginally more competent, but not a lot.
pwhodges:
You need to watch the kids in the space under the Queen Elisabeth Hall in London, then.
QuestionableIntentions:
Haha Yes! All the win! Robt fights, robo fights, woohoo! :-D
ReindeerFlotilla:
I have indeed seen skaters pull off tricks. I do not live in Northampton. It has been some years since I've seen a skater do anything other than glide by, however.
Oenone:

I expected at least some days of talking before he´d go for the robot fighting, but here we are already. Now I´m really curious where this will lead. How will the fighter-robots look like? Who are the people or AI´s behind this fight-club? Will Faye actually do this? Will she make money of it? Enough to make a living? And if it´s illegal, will she need a regular job as a cover-up?

It's very in character for Faye, though. I think she thought this through before she approached Pintsize - she knew she'd give it a shot it if there aren't some really big reasons not to (it's illegal, and that didn't deter her - she just asked how severe it was, because it's not worth decades in prison). There still are a few more hurdles, though - she has to get into the scene before she actually starts, get to know her clients, figure out prices, limits, etc. Maybe get vouched for by Pintsize...
And I don't know if she would need a regular job - she's basically just selling fancy metal pieces. She sold something like that before (The Espresso-Dinosaur), and nothing would stop her or the customer from declaring those things as art (which explains the prices) or fancy custom-made (very, very uncomfortable) chairs or something.
And I hope she doesn't get a regular job - Faye just isn't that good with random people. She might be able to work with customers she respects, who buy something that she loves to do, but she really isn't cut out to working retail, especially with that American the-customer's-always-right-and-if-you're-not-a-doormat-you-get-fired culture.
On to meta: I'm enjoying this storyline. It isn't heavy with unnecessary drama, it's got Faye and Pintsize who do understand each other at their really sarcastic and funny level, and it is actually a storyline with development. And the art is really, really nice.

Ironically tho, it wasn't her issues w customers that got her fired. It was her issues w drinking.
