Paybacksays...Magnets?
Zawashjokingly says...How do the skates work?
Magnets?
poolcleanersays...It's kinda like a combination Heely and skateboard but with inline wheels like rollerblades. Don't get me wrong, I love old school type tricks, but I'd love to see the types of transition tricks and grinds people will start coming up with. Take it from adorable new trend to shredding at the X Games. Awesome new pastime.
Paybacksays...Well, at first I was thinking 2 1/2 inch drywall screws but then he started flipping them and I didn't see any blood.
How do the skates work?
AeroMechanicalsays...I tried some of these once a few years back. I'm competent if far from talented at riding a skateboard, I'm pretty good at inline skating, but these things I decided after about ten minutes were too dangerous for an 'old' guy like me. There's no way to learn to ride them well without falling down a lot in the process. Not a problem when I was a kid, now: not so much.
In the end, I didn't know what to make of them. They offer no advantage over skateboards or skates and have quite a lot of disadvantages. I guess they're a challenge for its own sake, which is fine since ultimately that's the point since they're not a mode of transportation as skateboards or skates arguably can be.
