There’s a new all-terrain skate in town, and it’s called the Skike.

One feature that sets the Skike apart from other all-terrain skates is it’s calf activated brake.  To brake, you push your feet forward, which will push your calf backward and activate the brake.

For more about the Skike, check out this article at Inline Planet.

Xlider skatesThe Xlider is two seperate skates that the rider stands on with one under each foot. By moving as if they are “walking,” the rider can propel themselves forward.

Each board has two wheels underneath that can turn side to side freely.  This allows the rider to be able to do all sorts of spins.  The Xlider shares sort of the same concept as Freeline skates, but the main difference is that the wheels on the Xlider can turn side to side.

The two skates of the Xlider can attach together with a spandex belt that can stay on while riding, and make carrying it easier.  For the most part though, it appears most prefer to ride without them hooked together.

Price:  $149.99

Check out these riders taking their Freeline Skates for a little off road action.

Freeline skates aren’t made for all-terrain riding, but they seem to work well enough on those hard dirt surfaces.

TrailSkate  

The TrailSkate, made by GateSkate brings inline skating into the all-terrain realm. 

TrailSkates are designed to go over any terrain.  Take them on dirt trails, paved surfaces, grass, gravel, anywhere.  They come with build in hand controlled hydraulic brakes on the rear wheel that will help the rider control their speed and stop when needed.The adjustable bindings allow the rider to adjust the TrailSkate to fit comfortably over their shoes. 

TrailSkate off road skates

 Features:

  1. Precision molded lightweight aluminum wheels.
  2. 8-inch (200mm) high-pressure pneumatic tires (similar to mountain bike tires) that provide a smooth ride on rough surfaces.
  3. Clamshell boot-binding system that fits easily over the user’s shoes and is quickly secured with independent ratcheting binding latches and straps for comfort and stability.
  4. Precision crafted flexible composite chassis provides a lightweight ski-like platform with a low-center of gravity delivering greater stability than traditional in-line skates.
  5. One-hand stopping power (using a single lever that simultaneously actuates the hydraulic drum brakes located in the rear wheel of each skate) allows users to easily control speed and stop efficiently.

Price: $350

Heelys ShoesHeelys are shoes that have a wheel in the sole.  The wheel, being removable, allows someone to wear their Heelys like normal street shoes, and then when they want to ride, all they have to do is pop the wheels back in and go.

Some Heelys even have “grind plates” on the bottom that allow you to grind on rails.

Check out this video of some people having fun with their Heelys…
