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?

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

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.
