Did you ever feel slightly cheated because little kids could zip past you on Heelys while you’re still doing that boring old walking thing? I know I did- unfortunately I never found a pair in size 7 and I nearly killed myself using the cheaper half skates that fit on the back of your trainers. Especially embarrassing when the very next day the five year old girl across the road was zipping down the hill on a pair like a pro. Mine quickly got sent to the charity shop and I gave up my dreams, but I know there’re others out there still waiting for their chance to shine.

Well take heed: Freeline Skates are here and there’s no way that little kids will be beating you on these bad boys. Developed in San Francisco, they’re supposedly a cross between skateboarding, surfing and snowboarding.
