Anybody know where the hell I can find some Coyote Rollerblades?????

Looks like only size 10's on Ebay right now ( 11's are rare ) but it is generally your best bet.

Craigslist, Kijiji ?

There is a new version available that a fellow from Aus. ( Spartan ? ) uses that may suit your needs?
They are a 2 wheel version but very well made and work great. A bit $pendy but worth it. There is some amazing video of the Aussie ripping it up and going big !

I don't know why I'm stuck on the name of the Blades and the rider . I need Sam !

Coyotes are total dogs for just skating. Downhill and kiting are when they howl!

Some folks have taken the Coyote base from smaller sets and matched it to ski boots to overcome the lack of large sizes being available.

1. Terrablades
   
2. Gate Skates
   
3. Skikes
   

Think that's the list of remotely available gear. Some will be easier to source than others.

If you can't find coyotes then consider powerslides.

The rider I am referring to is Spartan1 now and I am still stuck on the brand of blades he's using but don't think they are mentioned yet?
Here he is on video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJmaVhpYCg8&feature=plcp

Spartan rides Powerslides.... but with Nordic frames targeted for cross country skating. He posted a picture in the 6th post in the referenced thread.

They are also shown about 5 seconds into this video:

Here's info on off road skating and the different types of skates. http://www.cross-skate-shop.com/Infos-about-Cross-Skates

We're kiters and remove the brakes from things like Powerslides and Coyotes. If you're going to use these without a kite think about how you're going to stop. I was never able to hockey stop on Coyotes but could slow down by dragging a foot. Because of their long frame I doubt you can hockey or t-stop Powerslides either. Coyotes come with only one brake which we all remove so if you buy Coyotes you can probably find spare brakes from people on this site and add them so you have brakes on both boots. The brakes are very heavy.

Skating style: Coyotes are the easiest to skate followed by short frame Powerslides. The longer the frame the harder it is to skate.

I'm sure you could mount a hockey boot onto a Coyote frame. You may need to cut a metal plate to rivet the toe and heal areas to. I've seen this done to put hockey boots onto 5 wheel in-line skate racing frames. You get the comfort of your hockey skate and can then buy any Coyote that you find. No need to wait for your size. Only drawback is the hockey boot will have less ankle support but you guys probably have ankles made of iron so it may not matter.

on mounting other boots to Coyote frames. Midgar did that with his skate park style rollerblade boots. Bolted right on and he had the boots he loved on the coyote frames.

702dirtsurfer also mounted alternate boots. He had some good pictures in his thread.

Midgaar did a nice comparison of Coyotes and Powerslides.
