LandRollers. With a name like a Japanese off-road vehicle these are apparently ‘the first major innovations in skating since Rollerblade popularized inline skates more than 25 years ago.’ Actually if you watch the videos they do look very cool. Even the corpulent and terminally lazy Ferret is tempted. Especially by the air-filled tyre, rough terrain option. $249.00 a pair.
LandRoller is truly a revolutionary skate that offers a smoother ride, improved stability, better braking, easier learning, off-road capability and dramatic styling…LandRollers have two large wheels mounted on the outside of each boot and angled inward. The resulting wheel configuration improves stability, maneuverability, safety, ride smoothness and braking. LandRoller’s large, angled wheels can roll over obstacles that hinder inline skates, while maintaining the same low center of gravity and skating dynamics as a traditional recreational skate.
Try MotoSk8 – Next best thing to tele-motor-coasters to put some zip in your skates ;)
Heh, awesome Bill, but a tad dangerous? :-)
