 Just stumbled across this web site from a search engine. I think I might take up your idea and actually create a skate of my own from it. Tight idea! Check out www.breaksk8.com and www.jamskate.net and take a look at some of the pictures and videos on those sites. There are teams all over the USA jam skating now. Anyone selling those ramp roller skates? and if so, how much? peace

Very interesting! Could that be described as "breakdance on quads"?

I heard that a specialized vert skate is in the works. Currently, I think most vert skaters either build the skates themselves (eg skateboard parts plus custom metal jobs), or combine rollerskate components that are currently available.

Here
www.pinkjuice.com/rollerskating/links/#Skates
I link to some skates and instruction pages; Irene Ching's and Dave Roen's are used as vert skates.

At the bottom of
www.pinkjuice.com/rollerskating/about/ I link to some hard boot skates, and one monolithic frame.

Actually, it is pretty much break dancing on quads. There are people who do the windmill, head spins, among other break dancing moves. But the main core of it is to look smooth and strong while you're skating in the competitions. We have a national competition Nov 23 & 24 in Chicago where all the best jam skaters from the US are going to show up at.

Thanks for those links on how to build the skates. It was pretty interesting to come across that there are vert skaters on self made quads. I'll have to look more into the cost of building myself a pair :) Thanks again Tobi!

smile! :)
