Can bring to WWBB my friend. See you there.

Sorry to see you getting out of the blades. I can see how they aren't the right ride for Wildwood but hoped you were using them around home.

Kent, I have TWO pairs. Why? I dunno. Only used them a few times in the local field, So selling one. I'll have them at WWBB and a pair of SAND skiis. The WWBB days of Zeb having all the fun are OVER!

Is it just me, or are those a serious knee injury waiting to happen?

I don't think my ACL or MCL old bone knees would take it.


how's the ride on them, in grass?

Coyotes are ALOT more nimble, but not nearly as smooth as the 12" wheels on the Leap Skates. I never used them, but I hear you step turn with the Leap Skates. I kept my speed low on the Coyotes and would say the Leap Skates are much better at speed.

I can see how the Gate Skates could cause some issues with the long wheel base and large wheels. I know a few have had injuries with similar Doom wheels.

The Coyotes have a small enough footprint that you can sort of roll off the toe and tail. The stiff boot gives lots of support. I have had some major wipeouts with Coyotes . Often being stopped dead by sand traps. Never had an issue while on the Coyotes but have sprained my ankle on ATB.

I can cruise comfortably at 35mph on Coyotes but am stuck with 39mph as my best speed. Things get real crazy about that speed for me. I think Gate Skates would go faster but ????

Coyotes are very well suited to the small park I ride in ! They rock on dry lakes and very hard pack beaches. I also have 2 sets but am keeping both . I have gone through 1 set already and they are getting harder to find.

Hi Jay

Have you still got the Coyotes for sale?

I have worn my last pair through. I'm in the UK - any chance you could check what postage would be?

Are the wheels & tyres in good condition?
