CenterSkates - cool looking, human powered hubless skates

These look quite nice. They are called CenterSkates and are basically human powered, hubless skates.

There's also a video so you can judge for yourselves if they'd actually be practical!

OrbitWheels seems to be similar or identical in concept?
go to youtube com and put in OrbitWheel and look at that clip. Same kind of motions.

X-gliders have caster wheels under the footplate which maybe make them harder to learn?

I guess I would fall and end up in hospital trying these cool things. Very fun to look at though
so thanks for providing link to it.
