Wouldn't work, you'd barely be able to move. Are you actually interested in this stuff, or are you just trolling?

Just as awesome as Skadancing. Congratulations, you've discovered that you can do lame stuff on pretty much anything with wheels.

Xliders are possibly my favorite product I've ever seen, after I saw this video, I've just been lusting after them. The constipated chipmunk trying to beatbox in the background is probly the real reason though.

almost like them, but they were rollerblade boots with a swingarm on the bottom and they had a caster wheel on each end. they were horrible and lasted maybe a month.
i wish i could find the video, its hilarious. some woman on hsn just skating in circles in the studio.

**sk8norcal** · 07-08-2009 07:36 PM

^ u have to find that for me...

**sk8norcal** · 07-08-2009 07:46 PM

I just came up with a couple of freelinesque inventions...

invention 1:
use xgliders on ur front foot and a freeline on ur rear foot and vice versa

u can call it either Xlining or Freegliding..

invention 2:
use the Tierney concept on a Freeline...

feel free to try it and let me know how it works...

For any of the freeliners,

The front page wheel deal sounds pretty intriguing in terms of substitute wheels for freelines. They're a little smaller, maybe too thin, and maybe too soft, but they're really cheap if you wanted to try to get some centerset substitute wheels.

What, This Deal?

Yeah, those look like they'd work. I'm pretty sure the stock wheels are 70mm & 78a anyhow, those might be a little thinner, but that's cool, I've wanted to try a thinner wheel anyway. I'mma hafta pick up a set.

**sk8norcal** · 07-10-2009 06:02 PM

have freeliners try inline wheels..?

seems like the wheel should have a radius profile..

I saw a pic of somebody who tried it.. he said they were faster, but less grippy, just like you'd think.

I wonder what they'd be like on a set of G&S Rollerballs...

**sk8norcal** · 07-10-2009 06:35 PM

with a belt sander, u probably can make a radius profile out of a longboard wheel...

don't breath the dust...

Haha yeah, I remember we had a bunch of speculation about grinding down offset wheels and whatnot, then these looked like perfect substitutes for a cheap price

**tweek1030** · 07-13-2009 04:22 PM

i just saw somebody selling these outside the kona skatepark in aussie when i visited last summer...guy said they were the next big thing and it looked like he was having a blast using them...

anyways....it looks like regular skates just turned sideways and the boot taken off...thats my take on it never ridden em before and never thought i would see them mentioned again but i guess i was proved wrong

**AngryGumball** · 07-30-2009 07:17 PM

I've been eyeballing those Freelines and would mess with them every time I go into Sport Chalet..they have a pair on display. $150's a bit steep though for some wheels and metal plates. Surfing Ebay, I did come across these for just about a third of the price.

Yes, I'm 100% aware that they're knock-offs. But then again, Freelines originated somewhere in Asia, didn't they? Could it be that these are made from the same place and rebranded as something else? Could these be legit or probably stay away from them?
