Super Inline Skates
Inline skating has its merits as a true competitive sport but what’s the next step? What’s the next level? Designer Tay Kian Khuan believes it’s his 720 Skates. Designed for pro competitions, they may look like any other inline skates but the wheels are set on independently rotating gears instead of an inline track. With this added feature, the skater gains the ability to spin 360º in place and skate sideways. Now you can imagine the kind of tricks one could pull off in these.

Pretty clever, but how are people going to slow down?
Noah says
They don’t, Muahahah!
john tay says
you will know how to slow down if you know how to skate, rotation of wheels to be control by foot thumb inside ( like a brake but operate with foot thumb)

Those 720s look nice, but I’m holding out for the 1080p’s.

asif says
just place your foot in an upright position and give force to thigh you will start rooling and do the same to your other foot continuously thats all

This might be a good idear, but I’am sorry, I don’t get how it works !!! do the “wheels holders” turn when you press on the front thing, or are they totaly uncontrolable ???? I’ll be glad to hear something about.
And it seems that a lot of tricks (sliding on the soulplate, for those who might know) are now impossible to do.
For the look, I don’t really think it correspond to what skaters are looking for. But that’s just a personnal opinion.

they’re really REALLY ugly. The mechanics on the wheels are amazing though. Really cool idea! I’d love to see some concrete dare devils go nuts in these!! Let Marc Ecko or Burton(snow boards) design them and you’ll be good to go.

How do you stop???
I skate and all but if you can go side ways… like i said ,,, how do you stop?
Chung Dha says
I doubt this is a safe solutions because they would bit like shopping trolleys which go out of control easily. Also the wheels could block when going sideways and and it is more hazardous then normal inlineskates
