Head bleeding. Ambulance-calls, half the cute girls accidently calling 411 instead of 911, out of habit. "No no, I'm frine, weely." Ambulances compete. One succeeds since you can't exactly run away with wheels on your damned shoes.

No power? POWER. No breaks. BREAKS.

POWER AND BREAKS? Check. Uh, just kidding. Just gravity and a wiggle motion to move you forward on flat surfaces, and very much down hills.

Now add some real gas engines with some real mufflers to them, and I'm good with it:

I blade a lot, and I'd probably rock these; WITH a bit of shame however.

]]> <![CDATA[Orbit Wheel Skates are Like Roller Blades, Just Less Fun]]> I think these are sweet! Bigger diameter wheel = fewer endos from bumps vs. Freelines. I'm an old skater, but I'd rock these without shame.

]]> <![CDATA[Orbit Wheel Skates are Like Roller Blades, Just Less Fun]]> It looks like the guy is constantly about to fall. At least people will get out of your way.

]]> <![CDATA[Orbit Wheel Skates are Like Roller Blades, Just Less Fun]]> I dunno. People bitched about the Heelys. Those are pretty big with the kids ... and it's only one fucking wheel.

siwu

]]> <![CDATA[Orbit Wheel Skates are Like Roller Blades, Just Less Fun]]> Same Concept as Freeline Skates only with your feet inside of the wheel.

Gravity

]]> <![CDATA[Orbit Wheel Skates are Like Roller Blades, Just Less Fun]]> Looks like the same method of riding as Freeline Skates, except with the advantage of being able to pull your feet up and take the skate with you.

]]> <![CDATA[Orbit Wheel Skates are Like Roller Blades, Just Less Fun]]> i love the smokin special fx at about 15 sec...very necessary. i see a 'blown hammy' in the future for 90% of the users of this thing. way too easy to get one leg going the 'wrong' way (in comparison to the other leg).

]]> <![CDATA[Orbit Wheel Skates are Like Roller Blades, Just Less Fun]]> I may be showing my age, but I remember these same comments being made about the skateboard when I was a kid and about rollerblades when they were still only used by skiers staying in shape over the summer, and about heelys last year... (To be fair the heelys comment was made by me to my daughter and she is still in one piece and quite masterful with the horrible things.)

CoPlume

]]> <![CDATA[Orbit Wheel Skates are Like Roller Blades, Just Less Fun]]> You know... Neat idea and all but I think this'll take off as much as those articulated skateboards did a few years back. Like not at all.

I think the rider is probably too embarrassed to be caught using those things on the tubes.

with finnesse and grace...america's gonna die because of these

Zaxxon Q Blaque

]]> <![CDATA[Orbit Wheel Skates are Like Roller Blades, Just Less Fun]]> @Way: Thats the first thing I thought. I'm sure he looks ridiculus

dontforget

]]> <![CDATA[Orbit Wheel Skates are Like Roller Blades, Just Less Fun]]> Still, very nicely made.

desostros

]]> <![CDATA[Orbit Wheel Skates are Like Roller Blades, Just Less Fun]]> Note that they only film the "rider" from the waist down. I'm convinced that he's flailing like a lunatic above the frame. Especially when trying to ascend that slight incline.

Way

]]> <![CDATA[Orbit Wheel Skates are Like Roller Blades, Just Less Fun]]> To be nice today, the design of the wheels themselves are pretty cool, they're just being used for the wrong thing.

dontforget

]]> <![CDATA[Orbit Wheel Skates are Like Roller Blades, Just Less Fun]]> wow, im guessing many people would die on those

Sheemo44

]]> <![CDATA[Orbit Wheel Skates are Like Roller Blades, Just Less Fun]]> Wow, that just looks like so much not fun.
