thanks for the update
the balance axis must tedious ..the small trailing wheel is a bad sign for froward toe pressure.
terrain options would be huge ...If the trailing wheel was larger.

Did you read the FAQs on the site?
It says that their production cost is higher than US$ 1,500 :wow:
I think that this is by itself a rather price for a pair of skates, not to mention the resulting retail price!

You might as well drop the other shoe:
" a large pair of Wheelskates needs to be priced between USD5,000 and USD10,000 which, unfortunately,
means they will not be for everyone. "
