Stumbled upon this last night. Definitely interesting...a cross between rollerblading, skateboarding, snowboarding and surfing. I dunno how ghey you'd look being one of the first to use it in your town. Wink

One thing I did notice, yeah its sort of like skateboarding, but I feel you use your body so much its a cheat for snowboarding...its closer to surfing. If anything it really teaches bad technique for snowboarding (use your feet, not your body). What are your thoughts and opinions guys.

I love the spin move the guy does in the video. I'd buy the things just to be able to roll around my university and fake people out like that. Laughing

Like you said, interesting concept. I think that's as far as I'd go in describing them however. I definitely wouldn't bother buying them and if someone gave me a pair they'd probably just get thrown under my bed. On second thought, I'd probably place them in my roommates room so he could take the blame for being homosexual when people found them. Colorful

saw a guy using a pair here in Corpus.. definately had to do a double take. Looked like he was enjoying himself though and he was hauling ass.

yeah I think they might teach you bad habits since your feet are independent of each other and you can turn them in different directions. I would think it would mess with your edging once you jumped back on a wakeboard...

My buddy has a pair...Took me seriously 3 or so hours just to be able to go maybe 50 yards on them...they are weird, and hard to get the motion down

who would purposely invent something gayer than rollerblading?
was rollerblading just not quite gay enough?

chubby, come now. I was a fruitbooter back in the day. Cept I was doin halfpipe and crazy flips and park transfers and crap, so that makes it legit...actually, nevermind, i cant believe im defending myself here. I dont think anyone can make "extreme" forwardness of any kind look good (except moto), i mean comon, look at razor scooters? Sideways wins, hands down...
