amazing! they can carve so easy ! nothing like my trailskates, that - well - run like on rails.. (trailskates should be better named railskates for
their zero carve-ability..)indigo_wolf - 24-5-2011 at 11:24 AM
Backstory is very interesting..... apparently developed to capture tracking shots while off-road. Also powered by electric motor and wireless remote
for speeds up to 45 km/h.
Very cool attitude: “I can’t wait for someone to make a better knock-up of my invention. I’ll be the first in line to buy one!”

i am so amazed by how easy these skates turn and carve ! a real eye-opener. need me to build some!
what a pity i wasted 200 euro on the trailskates. (they are still ok - but not more. and: especially the binding sucks.)Spartan - 24-5-2011 at 03:42 PM
Ye they look great for crusing along the ground. Great for zig zaging through streets.
But I'm into freestyling, and because of the high centre of gravity, if I came down the wrong way I'd break an ankle.Bladerunner - 24-5-2011 at 05:00 PM
Very interesting.
Definately these things carve much tyghter than my Coyotes but .......
I think the feel of the carve on the coyotes is very similar to that of my short 165cm skis. It's the snowkite crossover that appeals to me most. The
wheel up front and back make for better stabilaty / ski feel . I also like that it isn't so much that I can run out of a stopped wheel situation. (
sometimes) The Coyotes are a hard boot so help with the side stabilaty that way as well.
Looks like a job for Weldngod?arkay - 24-5-2011 at 06:03 PM
sure they carve, probably due to the short overall contact length but it looks like you're giving up a lot of surface area on tire contact as well...PHREERIDER - 25-5-2011 at 05:36 AM
the coyotes , for me, have issues with landings. as i progressed with them tire/tube blowouts were chronic. after 1/2 doz tubes in less than a few
sessions i just had had enough.
these looks nimble for sure the ATB tire set up looks good. i have a set of doom style with 8" atb set up like spartan, and i think this is the set
up for "skate like", "ski like" set up that will handle repeated landings. the weight limit on the coyotes i think is better matched for the lighter
rider , the 200# club needs more tire. which def points to the terra blades but thats more of the SKI thing esp. with the ski boot set up.
the edging and point of sail with the small wheelbase on the bundu might be an issue? a big kite would be tough to hold on a line.bigkid - 25-5-2011 at 08:26 AM
Looking at the first vid, gave me a weird thought of an Australian Drag Queen with those boots with wheels Terrablader - 29-5-2011 at 10:07 PM
Very nice design! any specs on the motor range and speed?
I went the rollercyle.com route for power.
Greg invented a cool way to get around. Later I used his design with a very powerfull elecric motor Etek and lithium polymer batteries.. 30 mile
range 0-30 mph in about 3 secconds. disc brake, shocks fun. this was a perfect match.Terrablader - 29-5-2011 at 10:10 PM
