I never roller bladed, but I sure see them using the same actions. Skiers tell me that they trikke in the summer and never have a single sore muscle when they hit the slopes -- same kinda core motions etc.
That balance360 looks like it'll do the trick, but is it fun after one has mastered the thing? Historically, I have very poor balancing skills -- however, the Trikke just will not take "no ability" for an answer and forces you to get in the groove with it, and my balancing skills have come up considerably. But, geeze, I don't know if I want you to trikke though, cuz then you'll counter-argue all the spiritual things I say about trikking and reduce them to mundane inanities. "There's no need for a Great Carver In The Sky, Edg." I'm trying to get the gumption to come at you naysayers in that atheist thread you've been having such a grand time grinding, but wow, I just don't have much taste for frustration these days. But, so, hmmmm, if you do buy a Trikke, I guess I'll have to come over there and rock your worlds and make true believers outta you guys to prevent trikking from being, you know, Shempified. Hee hee.
