Hi everyone im new here (to the site) my names dave use to play alot of ice hockey back in school and tried to get back into it last year but couldnt find the time and forgot how fit you have to be!! anyway to the point if anyone wants to have a go on a set of freeline skates I have set that ive been using for the last couple of weeks and just got back from doing demos and training school kids at winter fest in qtown with the freeline crew and us pro skater Mattie Tyce (check him out on youtube sic stuff) So yea its a real fun sport and they are alot of fun downhill snow board style, and im happy to give people free lessons on them and get people interested. So let me know on here and if there a few people keen I could always met up outside the rink at the stadium carpark.
peace
daveWelcome to the forum username whos ‘username’ is username (?).
I was going to dump some YouTube URL’s in here, but YouTube doesn’t seem to be working at the moment. If anyone finds a decent YouTube clip, then just leave the URL for it here and the video will auto-embed itself.
I knew I’d posted something about these once …

http://freelineskates.com/%5B/url:2r14ay84%5D… They look bizaare, I’d be keen to give them a bash but I imagine the novelty would wear off fairly quickly! They don’t look that easy to use either, but atleast you can jump off I spose, they’re kinda like a skateboard in that way ….[/quote:2r14ay84]
Haha yea you would think it would be broken ankle material but they are designed well once you get the hang of them. Ive just started skating down hill more comfortably on them and once you get the hang of them it feels like just one thing under you (pretty much same feeling at carving on a snowboard) and they handle like a motorbike at speed. They are alot safer than they look and I feel almost more comfortable on them skating downhill after 3 or 4 weeks learning than after 13yrs of skateboarding….
