Figure you need to step turn or will they cut?

This is pretty much what I'm building but with 12" wheels for better off road rolling. Also good for off season CC skiing training.

Looks like a Gateskate with a shin brace. Might be good for kiteskating if you could mount larger wheels.

With long skates like these you can carve a wide turn, but need to step turn for anything smaller than a 30' radius.

I think I will stick with my dogs, the Coyotes.

Thanks for the insight.

Sweet!

That's one of his early prototypes, but it's the best I reckon - nice big wheels must haul nicely ... a more comfy boot would be good though :o
