While I'd like to build my own, I find myself lacking the time required.
anyone ever seen or tried these http://www.skaterace.com/Leap.htm
I like how the binding can be offset but wish the skate actually had more ground clearance and I'm wondering if the ankle support is sufficient?

Good questions all. I have received a pair and will be reviewing them soon.
I believe the ankle support is sufficient and they likely have enough ground clearance considering that these are not for full out speed. I would not
suggest going over 35 mph.
I'll be giving them an intense workout soon. Check back for a full review.

Kewl!
I'd also be interested in your take on their 12" tires. They seem closer to slicks then knobbies. Wondering how well they hold the edge?

The slicks work fine... knobbies are not necessary. In fact, I suggest riding them a little under-pressured for a smoother ride and more traction. If
I recall, I fill mine to about 15-20 lbs (rather than 35).
