First look: FreeLine Skates Better then Heelys?


www.freelineskates.com

Check these new skates out. Better the Heelys? I think so! A little pricey though @ $149.99 . Maybe I'll have to wait for xmas to try these out.

Freelines
Technical Specs

* Freeline skates have a heavy-duty one-piece aluminum construction.
* The deck of a Freeline skate measures 6 1/2 inches by 5 7/16 inches. (165mm x 138mm)
* With the stock wheels, the deck height is 3 7/8 inches (98.5mm) off the ground.
* The supplied wheels measure 2 3/4 inches (72mm) diameter by 1 3/4 inches (44mm) thickness. They use a centerset hub and are of a soft, but unspecified durometer. Some longboard wheels are manufactured to or near these specs, and can serve as replacements.
* Freeline skates ship with Abec-5 bearings. The bearings are the same size ("608", 8mm center hole) used on most skateboards. Skateboard bearings can be used as replacements.
