Has anyone had a sneak peak at Landrollers? Any thoughts on whether they would be any good for kiting?

They look like well made skates and may be a kick for parking lot and paved trail skating, but are not suited for kiteskating at all. Perhaps if it
were possible to replace the existing wheels with a larger set with air-inflated tires, they may then be good for short distance and slow speed on a
flat surface, but a longer wheel base is required for distance and speeds over 15mph on rough terrain. Again, for regular inline skating they look
like fun, but for kiteskating... no go. Sorry, rating Landrollers for kiteskating, I give them a big thumbs down.
