How they'd handle
They resemble dry land trainers for cross country skiing, and I'd guess they handle about the same, except that the heel appears to be bolted to the rail. So a mix of cross country ski trainers and racing skates.
I'm really curious
I skate on speed trainers and I'm really curious about how these handle with your soles in line with the axels axles rather than about 3 inches above the axels axles.
Charles Choubersky
Charles Choubersky (1835-1891) invented the first "bicycle roller skates".
