Yeah i watched the videos too, i still do not get what the purpose of the one wheel skate is. I can say the video with the bike trailer tires was a trip.

If nothing else, onewheelskate, I applaud you for doing something different and unique! If the size of speedskate wheels continues to increase, I wouldn't be surprised if everyone ends up on these, anyway...

Regarding wheel size, plenty of people feel we've about hit the apex of size. You can't really go much bigger without losing a lot of control over the wheel, not without going to a 3-wheel setup, which is a whole other conversation.

So after an hour of practice here is the video. when going to Kittyhawk you won't see a shuttle launch ![]()

![]() ![]() Don't see any benefit though so you must be in great shape. Try this a day and you probably pull every muscle you can by twisting your leg like that. Not to mention your big talent for toe-pushing ![]() |

It seems to me you're doing the exact opposite of what the desired action would be.

I am all for weird setups and experimentation, but this one I just don't understand.

likewise the qsk8 v.dcr-inline is not really skating even though one is rolling on a frame of inline wheels. The actual motion is not skating but diagonal-centripetal-rotation stepping, striding,or running. * p.p.s OK. So why do this? I wanted the onewheelskate dynamic* The onewheelskate dynamic is thus: Because I am on two unicycles things are going on that I do not have the Newtonian physics to explain. But when you push off one foot that foot rotates in the direction of the anticipated foot. Which means that at the end of the push both feet are on the same line and pointing the same direction. I hope this disclaimer helps, besides when you pass me on a loop course you will be momentarily amused until the real reason why you skate takes over. Like lactic acid over load ![]()

I bet crossovers would be interesting!

You might want to try Heelys as well. Only they're more practical.

crossovers will be easy to video. The snow around here is turning into sierra cement so it's time to skate or rather roll.
Lets see if by april if I get a video up on the net of the lateralclapskate doing crossovers. Doing crossovers will be a major mile stone in mastering these lateralclapskates.

I just found this on Richard's site. It appears that he's gone custom-loco too...

This is not a flame, but skating is now competing with bicycling as harboring the most impractical, offbeat, and whimsical designs which have little to do with the actual activity!

http://www.landroller.com/story.html ...see pages 2-6 I seem to come across people quite often that try concepts that have been attempted before and failed. A little bit of benchmarking on the internet quickly shows what people have tried and where it went wrong. CG

It's completely nonsense. In the video, the only time he actually gets forward momentum is when he's at the end of the twist, and finally puts a little force into the ground. That is, when he actually performs the motion of an inline skater. The design of this "skate" seems to not be an improvement, but a deliberate attempt to make the motion of skating ineffective. It's as if he is trying to improve running by spinning on his toe. Any time he starts talking about physics, it's inane. "Diagonal-centripetal-rotation" are words that one might find in a physics class, but stringing them together doesn't make an invention. If you try to cut through what he's saying, he gets to the possibility that this avoids "lactic acid over load". Well, if that's true, it's true because you can't actually move in these things. Sitting on the couch avoids "lactic acid over load", too, but I'm not posting videos of me doing it on a skating message board. Now, the clap-skate is an invention. It recognizes where power in skating comes from and is designed to extract more power from the stroke. If you want to change inline skating. . .make a light, efficient clap skate. If you want to say things like, "they didn't fly a space shuttle at Kittyhawk" and never get called out on your BS, invent a "diagonal-centripetal-rotation" device. |
