Booster Blades
Booster Blades : the basic idea seems to be to gain speed by stepping down rather than pushing forward.
Thanks The_Shadow. More on Gizmodo.
This is a new video of Booster Blades further to the official launch in Geneva April 2007. These ingenious blades are now available to order at Booster-Blades.com

Worst idea EVER !!!
Makes rolling look even more shit to the public eye !!
Why the fuck create sumin so shitt…?
May 8th, 2007 at 10:28 pm
I wonder what they are like on ramps…
May 8th, 2007 at 10:42 pm
Wow that is so cool…I could wear that with my pink tights and tutu. Or my hello kitty pretty pink panties. I bet that takes waaaaay to much effort to get going…I guarantee some douche bag from a ticky tacky house will be sporting Speedos cruising the neighborhood with his Bluetooth and ‘dingle berry’ phone trying to impress the not so desperate housewives.

kinda of a good idea, but failed on execution. that type of movement would be so ass backwards for our style of skating.
May 9th, 2007 at 12:23 am
wow what a waste of time and whay a waste of brain cells
May 9th, 2007 at 12:36 am
Who took the time and money to make those? They better not have ruined the M12s. That’s the stupidest looking thing in the world. Why would anyone rather do that than just skate regularly. Even from a fitness skater’s perspective, I don’t see why anyone would do that.
May 9th, 2007 at 12:43 am
Maybe its what the new freestyle rollers can ride on to act different
May 9th, 2007 at 12:48 am
haha yeah ^ , Ya pretty gay
May 9th, 2007 at 1:48 am
yeah, why are they using m12’s!! that’s shit!
May 9th, 2007 at 2:35 am
How would someone ride fakie in those skates….
May 9th, 2007 at 3:45 am
so…i guess this would be only for …….nothing. cause shit, you cant turn hard or nothin. weak
May 9th, 2007 at 3:58 am

May 9th, 2007 at 4:05 am

May 9th, 2007 at 3:18 pm
I seriously don’t understand the point of them? are they suppose to make rollerblading easier? I mean.. the real way is alot easier and you can get alot more speed out of it HAHAHA
May 9th, 2007 at 4:53 pm
WACK!!! its so stupid… u probably cant ride fakie… and its like a stair stepper… i’ll stick to my usd’s thanx.
May 9th, 2007 at 6:58 pm
i think only one phrase is applicable here…….. OW GEY!
May 9th, 2007 at 7:00 pm
they were presented at the “lounge of inventions” in geneva a couple of weeks ago…
it sucks that they made a stupid chick that can barely skate do the demo, but i think if ur at ease on your skates you can get really good speed with those…
and all you idiots that are judging that shit before even trying should just shut up…i might be wrong about it being anything near GOOD…but its still something that can be funny to roll on…
May 9th, 2007 at 7:29 pm
hahaha thats so stupid, and how expensive, £495?! Why spend that much on them when a pair of normal rollerblades are so much more efficient
May 9th, 2007 at 8:17 pm
