Knee Skates


Have you ever seen knee skates which are the latest actual patent in the USA? You can go for Knee Skating solo or with friends. Use a sloping road with more or less no traffic on it.

Fix the pair of Knee Skates tightly around your leg with two straps. You’ll knee on two boards wearing pants with softened pads. Each board is supported by four easily rolling wheels. The front wheels are extremely flexible and respond very fast. Therefore you guide easily the board with the sticks connected to those wheels. Both hands hold a stick. For changing direction on the road you have to move only both sticks in the same direction.

As an additional equipment you put over your regular sized shoes stiff metal boots. With those boots you can steadily slow down your speed.

To prevent any head injuries use a helmet.

Have fun and enjoy the new outdoor excitement!
