WTF is... Off-Road Skating

What is off-road skating and what are SUV skates?
Sometimes called Off-road inline skating or all-terrain skating, this style of rollerblading allows the skater to step away from the traditional skating environment and hit more challenging terrains like dirt trails, gravel paths, mountain bike tracks, BMX dirt jumps, grassy fields, and even rocky or sandy places.

I still love the story of Joseph Merlin, who in 1760 decided to make an entrance into a masquerade ball by using early inline skates to skate into the event playing a violin. Unfortunately, his steel wheels combined with a marble floor gave little to no grip, facilitating him to skate straight into a plate glass mirror wall, thus brining inline skates to the attention of the general public... Basically, he kinda pulled a reverse Steven Bradbury lol

[@nicholascrow8133]

@@TomMoyse It was long recognised as the first "mainstream" exposure that inline skates got... I love it, we could only go up from that... Also, the fun in picturing a violin playing, out of control cess sliding 1700's man in full getup is just too good to not be folklore! lmao

I like the description given by a witness: "when not having provided the means of retarding his velocity, or commanding its direction, he impelled himself against a mirror of more than five hundred pounds value, dashed it to atoms, broke his instrument to pieces and wounded himself most severely."

A tip for everyone trying it: the surface matters as much as the material, sandy and moody will not work good. And you need the 7bar / 100psi pressure in the wheels or you'll feel like rolling on glue. Most pumps don't work as too much air escapes when putting the valve off.

I owned a set of the Rollerblade Coyotes in the early 00's and used them to terrorise the streets of Quebec City! Ripping around the grassy hills of the Plaine's D'Abraham and bombing down the city streets from uptown to downtown, skitching behind vehicles when I got to the flats. I remember them being HEAVY and long, requiring more of a speed skating stride than a hockey skate. Crazy memories! I can only imagine how much better they've become 20 years later!

Amazing man! Yea you defo need a bit of momentum to get em going due to the size/weight of the wheels, but what and adventure it can be

Bingeing your videos has been inspirational. I'm gonna start with a endless 90 type frame, then when I get my legs ill look into either aggressive frames (depending on how ski park sessions go) or ill go into offroad, which I know ill love haha

[@I-hate-youtube797]

I love your channel! I’m a roller skater that’s recently been getting into roller blading and I’m loving your content! I also think it’s cool you reply to everyone. (But don’t feel like you need to reply to this comment I’m just rambling lol) I will say this, you replied to a comment I left the other day about the popularity of rollerblading. While no, I don’t think it’ll ever become as big as skateboarding I do believe it’s getting more popular. And tbh, I don’t know if I want to see roller blading and roller skating becoming as popular as skateboarding. Right now I feel like the rollerblading community is really chill and not toxic in the least bit and I can’t say the same for skateboarders or even roller skaters. I like how chill the rollerblading community is. No one’s calling you a poser or trying to ban you from the skate park because they don’t like what you’re on. And there’s no controversy surrounding womens sports like their is in the roller skating community with roller derby. I just prefer how chill it is right now. I love roller skating but honestly the SUV skates have been some of the most fun I’ve had on skates in years! I had the privilege of being able to borrow a friends last summer and it was an unforgettable experience using them. It makes me wish that off road quads existed. I doubt they’d be as fast but I’m still curious if it’s possible?

[@TomMoyse]

Thanks for the kind words. I agree i don't think it will become as popular at skateboarding, it the next 10 years but who knows. There was a burst of growth but that has calmed down and i think there is a different attitude towards all "extreme sports" these day, but nothing drastic for rollerblading. i'm glad your experience of the community is that way, it's positively tight-nit and excepting, but not completely free poor attitudes. i reckon off road quads might be doable, id be concerned about balance though.

[@I-hate-youtube797]

⁠@@TomMoyse Thanks for the reply! I wanted to add that I actually just saw a girl with a KZbin channel called Shortys Skate Series make a pair of off road quads today so I guess it was possible after all! They’re so cool and now I plan to make a pair eventually!

I have the 200 mm powerslide kit, and use it on a regular basis. It's not as smooth off-road as the promotional videos suggest. I use them for bad/cracked pavement, but with gravel or rocks or roots -- forget about it. You can sort of make it through, but it's not fun. Packed dirt is great, but one needs to look out for sudden branches and rocks not to faceplant. It's not like mountain biking for skating, one needs even bigger wheels. Also note that most videos are taken skating downhill.

Don't even try this until the drought of summer. Any grass height and any sogginess brings you to a crawl. You can punch through a little more terrain with "Classic" version (one way ratchet on wheel). But when it's good, this is as good as skiing.

Dude, excellent video 🤙I remember pulling some off-road tires off of some toys as a kid and trying to attach them to my skates to do this sort of stuff Side note: Maybe it's just my dumb brain but all the upward inflections got me thinking you're asking a question all the time haha

[@TomMoyse]

Haha it’s not your dumb-brain it’s just how I talk sometimes, especially if I’m trying to say too much and start to run out of breath. Haha pulling the tires off is a great effort! 🫡

I played hockey and had blast playing roller hockey. Unlike real hockey, you could play anywhere. I also did the aggressive skating thing as well as skateboarded… I sucked at them all but I enjoyed it all. I had a lower spine injury (s) and can’t walk without it causing pain. I would have loved to try off-road skating and boarding! I moved to an area at 17 that I couldn’t skate of any kind. It was gravel, hills and crappy roads. I tried to use my deck in the winter and down some dirt hill paths with very little success. If I had these or off-road skateboards I would have been in heaven.

[@TomMoyse]

Damn mad story man, hope you’re able to get out there and do something

[@JK-zq9vw]

@@TomMoyse I’ve been looking for an off-road skateboard or a OneWheel. I think I could modify them to work as a propulsion source for my manual wheelchair. I try not to use it as much anymore but I’ve been having a lot more pain recently.

[@faff39]

How do they react on flat ground?! Could I use that to skate during canadian winter months in the street?!

[@TomMoyse]

You’d have to drum up some momentum and the wheels will be bigger and heavier than a standard wheel but you could do it - in my opinion

[@LaurentiusTriarius]

As a mountain biker since the 1990's I've seen only one person ever ride theses off road. Looked friggin dangerous 😂

[@TomMoyse]

Haha

[@esk8jaimes]

See also, the electric skates from AirTrick, Escend, and Atmos Gear!

[@paddyhartlep8424]

Next offroad freestyle frames please!log grinding needs to be done!

[@TomMoyse]

Already been done. There is videos of Leandre Fabri doing grinds

[@MephistoRolling]

Its the getting back up the hill to go home part that worries me.

[@TomMoyse]

Haha

[@LethalTurd]

Y'all noticed that all the videos with off-road skates are made with downhill footage? I get it's nice to hit these slopes but what comes after? You take the skates off to climb back or you just struggle? Neither seems like having fun

[@Miggeddy]

1:10 first wizard attempts xD

[@buddylee19082]

@4:54 Ok we've officially gone WAYYYY too far with this idea! Putting yourself IN FRONT of an engine attached to a wheel, with a 2ft pole and a set of wrap-around handlebars!?!?... What could POSSIBLY go wrong?

[@TomMoyse]

🫡

[@RUS38]

I would absolutely hate to clean the skates after such rides and buy new bearing just after a few goes.

[@TomMoyse]

haha the wheels are a lot higher off the ground, you're not going to get dirt in the bearings or ruin them like you would on a regular set up if you landed in dirt

[@Earth2McKay]

Im all for hopping on rails with skates. Been there done that. But yeesh that seems slightly more terrifying.

[@TomMoyse]

Haha

[@baileyayyy5085]

[@TomMoyse]
