| Description:
|
Here's a new style of roller skates....sort of a cross between skates and rollerblades.
|
| How It Works:
|
The photo above is a side view. Each skate has 4 wheels: you skate on 3 wheels and the 4th wheel -- at the very back -- is your brake. The brake is activated by pressing the rear of the skate downward. You step into the skate similarly to inserting your ski boot into a ski; the length of the skate then automatically contracts to fit shoes up to size 13. One buckle (shown) fits across the top of your shoe. For fast skating, a 2nd buckle can be added that fits across the top of your ankle.
|
| Ideal For:
|
Anyone who likes to skate!
|
| Why It's Cool:
|
Three wheels provide more stability than rollerblades.
