Footage: Shenqi Ayu via CGTN
Spider-Man's Goblin board is real. Built in 2 months. By a dropout.
Song Xingyu (online Shenqi Ayu / 神奇阿宇), from Badong, Hubei, left school at 14 and built a rideable 10-rotor board he flew over the Yangtze. Peak current: 2,000 A — his claim. Version 1 used five jet engines and caught fire in testing. Version 2 is electric.
StepFun's AI role is StepFun's claim, and part of a launch partnership: the board was shown at StepFun's STEPX Neo launch in Shanghai on 13 Oct 2026. Consumer-grade parts, DIY build — a stunt, not a product.
