Super Inline 720 Skates Let SK8Rz Go Sideways and Spin
Posted by Charlie White at 10:37 PM on November 2, 2007
Before hell freezes over, let's try a bit of in-line skating, but these skates offer more than that. Strap on a pair of Kian Khuan's 720 inline skates, and a whole new dimension is laid out before us, because these super inline skates not only go forward and backward like any others, but can also spin 360 degrees in place and even roll sideways. Try that with a pair of ice skates. Since these 720s aren't for sale yet, we may have to wait for the spring thaw before we bang up our knees and elbows with them. Forget kneepads, make that Master Chief's suit of armour. [Yanko Design]

Well I guess Fierbock answered my quesion - it doesn't matter if you can't stop if you can't get going in the first place. Didn't think of that.

any mite level hockey player can spin 360, and go more-or-less sideways on ice skates

What you mean Lolerbladers will go sideways intentionally or on accident?

Not only do they look like something Ronald McDonald would wear if he was part of the Rollerball cast, they also look like treacherous breakneck footwear. It's a double threat!

it like standing on ice with regular shoes instead of skates, like Bambi. With that extra degree of freedom how do you push off or accelerate without being on a hill?

This has to be the most useless thing I've ever seen. So let's say you're grinding and then suddenly the wheels turn frontside. You have a faceplant right there. If not, you would have to stop then switch the wheels to be able to go sideways. Bleh, they suck.

Shouldn't these be called iSuper iInline iSkates? Come on, everyone is doing it... still doing it. (thank you for bucking the stupid trend).

@weatherman: You just start spinning in place until you run out of energy.

Pretty clever, but how are people going to slow down?

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

For some reason I automatically thought of being on a polished hardwood floor with socks on.

Whoever thought of this concept simply stole the idea from the wave or the ripstick skateboard. Smart, but will it sell.

inlines are a good way to ensure a hospital visit
