The latest boarding craze to flip over here from the states, Freelining is without doubt the coolest skating experience there is. It combines the feel of boarding and skating in one high adrenalin multi-trick busting sport. Snowboarding and surfing are amazing hobbies, but unless you are blessed with Malibu beaches or the Alps as your back garden, they can often become a much neglected pastime. The Freeline Skates are great for boarders who use the same skills as they would on water or on the slopes, only on dry land. They're made from aluminium so are super tough and yet lightweight, and can be used by pros and first timers alike. To really 'get' why these are so darn radical and amazing you should watch the video that shows you just what you can do on them. There is also a good 'how to' tutorial on Youtube that will get you up and started. Aside from their extreme cred, they're a joy to carry around compared with the bulk and drag of lugging a board about. Freelining is the next big thing, watch the streets!
