Hey Terrablader ,
Was that you I met at SOBB. ?? I was on the Coyotes and you mentioned your blades. Probably even said Terrablades but it didn't click. It should
have when you mentioned 4 wheels. I would have loved to have a looked at them :duh: Sorry I didn't take the time. I got stuck when the tide was too
high earlier + was headed back North so wanted to get out in good time that Mon..
Those beasts look fast and stable. How are they on only Semi-hard sand ?? Can you carve corners or do you need to step turn ??

Hi Snowbird,
I am in San Diego. My little website is www.terrablades.com if you want to check out a video. The skates willl float over most stuff, the wheels are 2 inches wide. They turn because
of the rockering, most of the rider's wieght is on the middle two wheels.
When we use powered devices to drive around town on paveme nt(Rollercycles) the end wheels usually are not touching the road, unless you are turning.
Any videos of you kite skatining would love to see. We need more on youtube and such. I have a decent one on youtube.

I had a look at your site a while ago. That power wheel is straight out of Mad Max :smug: and the blades are straight from Rollerball 
I'm impressed with the product and would strap them on in a heart beat 
I'm shocked that blades never took off ! If you come from a skate / ski background they marry so well with kites. Not unlike how kite skiing is an
option next to kite snowboarding next to kite icebuggies :wow:. It seems completely natural to me :?: :duh:
I sent you a U2U
