Chariot skate gives you a skiing feeling

For all those athletically inclined, here’s a revolutionary new skating product called Wheel-skates that blends both skiing and cycling into a all new genre of its own. Each skate uses about 5.5 pounds of carbon fiber in a knee-high wheel where your foot is strapped in and suspended just below its axle. The unique design and advanced engineering help it gain momentum with less effort, greater stability and more maneuverability, making it more apt over rougher terrains and grassy slopes. While still in the testing phase, the manufacturers expect the carbon fiber wheel skates to hit the market by June next year.
