[theAmazingKickstand]

Anyone done this? Looks stupid fun. Are they fast?
School me on the sport of Fruit Booting.

What's the diff betwixt this and rollerblades?

 

[theAmazingKickstand]

Rollerblade is the name of a company. The blue speed skates are Rollerblades.

 

[aminalmutha]

Pardon me, let me get my kleenex. In line skates, lolerblades, whatever. What's the diff? I thought these have been around for 20 some odd years.

 

[theAmazingKickstand]

Theyre different. The ones I posted are like Hayabusa rollerblades. The ones your asking about are like the Gladius.

I used to skatebaord (and still do, but it's not fair to say I skate). I couldn't buy a pair of these out of principal

I have tried them once or twice and they never seemed that much fun. Unless you are doing some roller disco and then you might get some props, but you'd need old school roller-skates.

Meh plenty of other ways to look like a douche if you ask me. Unless you are training for speed skating or playing hockey they are just ghey.

no ankle support is a bad idea mmmkay.

worst part of "rollerblading"

is having to tell your parents you're gay

I tried rollerblading once. After the splits, I was done with it... never got to the spandex and buttseks part.

I see some chicks on serious fruit boots like what Ive posted. They're ALL stupid hot. Way hotter than chicks doing other road sports with wheels and spandex.

They were men.

 

[snowface]

i've seen some beautiful men rollerblading. almost made me wanna try it.

until i realized i like women.

i mean seriously. fruit boots. fruit boots...

 

[Bowling4Bikes]

those ones you picture are like speed skates for the in-line fool. yeah...they're pretty fast. faster than normal in-lines.

no, I don't rock them.

 

[Archimedes]

super ghey looking and no support. You could go just as fast by putting high end bearings in a roller hockey skate.

If you're looking at them for exercise, the big problem may be finding anywhere you can use them where you don't spend most of your time dealing with crappy pavement and trails so crowded with people that you're constantly stopping.

Oh, and when you're starting out, hills can be a really bad idea ... so around here you're pretty much limited by your access to the various bay side trails... which have crappy pavement and are crowded...

 

[snowface]

ok - let me stop being an ahole for a sec.

kickstand - i know you're a cyclist. that should be your exercise, speed, and spandex all in one. i ride too, so, i know.

if you want real, feet on the ground, downhill speed, separate from your exercise regimen, check out one of these:

seriously, nothing like it. and you can wear your moto gear for protection.
