| All-terrain off-road skating is poised to become the next mega sports fitness craze. Think of it as a combination of mountain biking, skiing, and in-line skating packed into a single experience. As a fitness activity, all-terrain skating has a tremendous appeal to a large cross-section of recreational sports enthusiasts including: downhill and cross country skiers. water skiers, snowboarders, in-line skaters, roller skaters, mountain bikers, runners and hikers. The TrailSkate all-terrain skate is an evolutionary leap in the advancement of human powered sports. They are easy to ride...and a whole lot of fun.
Precision moulded lightweight aluminium wheels. 8-inch (200mm) high-pressure pneumatic tires (similar to mountain bike tires) provide a smooth ride on rough surfaces. Clamshell boot-binding system fits easily over the user's shoes and is quickly secured with independent ratcheting binding latches and straps for comfort and stability. 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. 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.
  
HEADGEAR: Always WEAR A HELMET and protective gear when skating. The trained professional athletes pictured above and below are no exception to the rule. Our bodies are fragile against the forces of nature so please be aware of the risks associated with extreme sports. They can be extremely fun yet hazardous when done irresponsibly.
FOOTWEAR: These skates are meant to be worn with footwear so we recommend sturdy shoes or hiking boots which covers the ankle bone to protect from chafing and falls. High top shoes recommended. If you are taking these skates out during inclement weather conditions, you may want to consider wearing Gore-Tex or waterproof type shoes to keep your feet dry and comfortable while you skate.
