The 616mm wheelbase is substantially longer than an in-line skate. This helps you keep it rubber side down whether you re gliding over a rough trail or braking hard. It also makes it easy to carve turns. A6 Most terrain that you would mountain bike on can be skated. Technically, ANY terrain that can be done on a bike and more can be handled with some technique.
Dirt trails with roots and rocks here and there are perfect.
Grass is a little slower, and provides a great workout. The PowerCarve Steering System makes that possible please see the tech section below . When on pavement, poles are not necessary, but many people enjoy using them. Poles also allow a full body workout, which is difficult to get outside of the gym. When you re going down hill, you re just gliding and carving turns as if on downhill skis.
