if anyone has seen the anime Air Gear they know what im talking about its basically rollerblades but with motors in them to go at high speeds i kno i would want a pair
http://media.tv.ign.com/media/873/873849/vids_1.html is the first ep of Air Gear in english and in the first couple of seconds explains exactly what they are

what about you would you get a pair if they were real?

heh, i've been following the manga down at www.stoptazmo.com. normally, oh!great's work is known for the fan service but the story and concept behind airgear is quite good.

i did used to rollerblade for a short time. being abstract about it all, i don't think the idea is practical - nothing to do with the mechanics, but the wheels would be too large and you'd be too high off the ground. if you look at rollerblades, there's 4 wheels (usually) but if you only had two and scale it up then it would be like riding a penny farthing.

but anyways, i'm too old to be throwing myself off ramps, stairs and buildings. so to answer the question, if they were real, i probably wouldn't buy them  :roll:
