Well jaysonhunte probably knows my opinion of Trailskates that he is so motivated to advertise at any opportunity...
Quote: | Can't say that I care much for Trailskates. They're fine for weekend warriors, but horribly sad for anyone who wants speed, power or rough
terrain.
They simply don't allow the skater to lean over far enough against the power of a big kite, and stuck in a mostly upright position leaves the
skater to fight hard just to hold his line... forget about going upwind.
I feel Trailskates are too low, tires are too small, and the boot apparatus is too loose/flexible. In fact my most frightening experience ever was on
these skates.
In their defense however, the price is right and they should work fine for those who just want to quickly strap on a pair and say "Look mom,
I'm kiteskating".
For those who want real speed and the capability of holding on to huge kites...
