TrailSkates[TM] - All-Terrain Skates

All-terrain skating combines mountain biking, skiing and inline skating. TrailSkates[TM] can go over any surface and are a bit like skis with wheels on them. They look a bit funny since each skate has two knobby pneumatic tires and a hand-operated hydraulic drum brake. The skate fits over the user's shoe. Unlike some other brands of off-road skates, the skater is not elevated high off the ground. The technique used in cross-country skate-skiing is used while skating in TrailSkates[TM].

I have skated on TrailSkates [TM]. When I wear my TrailSkates [TM], I can skate when it rains or snows! It is also nice to be able to skate on grass, through rough terrain, through dirt, over rocks, and through shallow streams. The brake takes some getting used to since it is very strong.

Happy Skating!
