The commentary for "interesting and weird skates" appears to be
missing basic understanding of the reason for and the function of
inline wheel skates. The glaring example of that is the show of
so-called inline skates with only two wheels, with uninformed
commentary. Those skates lack (without mention) the first or
second greatest quality in-line wheel skates provide, that is a
smooth ride over pitted and other forms of rough surfaces (mainly
on-road but also off-road). If you try skating on anything but the
smoothest surface, and then try using only two wheels, you will be
enlightened. Also shown is the silliest of the silly two wheel
skates, the kind with a smaller wheel in front, with admittedly
uninformed commentary "supposed to be good for rougher surfaces".
That is glaringly and horribly wrong. Having only two wheels with
a smaller wheel in front is the worst possible combination for
rough surface skating.

Land Skis... Big (144 mm) front wheel with four 80 mm trailing
wheels. Great for frequent rough street skating.
