Wheel Anti-Reversing Technology (available for licensing)

I completely understand the concern about beginners developing bad habits.

I think despite this, it's a good tool to assist beginners & entry-level skaters. I've seen skaters struggle with slight inclines, unable to control rolling back.

Best of luck with the product & innovation!

Brilliant

From years of teaching, I know the most timid beginners will shuffle like the interviewer above. But they also know this is nothing like the "real skating" they hope for. With this invention removing one danger, they can relax more and focus on learning true stride technique.

The only problem I would have with them in the hands of a beginner is that they might teach someone bad habits. For instance, shuffling your feet might get you used to skating that way. But hey, it's not like you have to play roller hockey the next minute you learn to skate! It's a really novel idea. Kudos.

These skates are designed to get you hooked on the sport. It becomes addictive.

The correct inlining techiques fall into place as soon as you get comfortable with the sport.

oh and nice idea. very obvious potential and use.

[rollerbladingsydney]

Cool idea for beginners! I could certainly use a few pairs for my more challenging beginner students...

Huh, I'll check that out, o, I wonder if the use interlocking gears, I can't wiat to see how they do that on ALL 4 wheels...intriging

[spittheproper]

well if you were to do trick riding you prolly wouldnt need these training skates now would you? why dont people think before they post.

[love4mecha]

lol, EXACTLY what I was thinking, although...this would be a great way to get people into blading...besides if a faki was wanted, I dobut that the front 3 wheels have the technology, notice what looks a little like a slight buldgy heel, probably only prevents the rear wheel from moving backwards, i conclude this from a few shots in the vid that may go unoticed.

[xcaliber13]

Good guess, but the modifications are on all four wheels. The bulgy heels are stock FILA skates. OEM

Gregg Moss' demo skates were also outfitted using the same tecnology on each wheel.

That's Trick. I've never seen anything like it. How many times do you get to see a reporter demonstrate something that wild? Eddie
