Are LandRollers better than regular in-line skates?
We think so! The larger wheels enable LandRoller riders to roll over irregular ground
better than inline skates. The wheels’ special configuration also
provides more stability, making it easier for beginners to learn how to
skate.
Are different techniques required to skate on LandRollers?
There are minor adjustments required for inline skaters to take full
advantage of LandRoller skates. Advanced skaters generally need about
20 minutes to adjust their turning, cross-overs and push-off
techniques. Beginners will learn easier on LandRollers due to their
greater stability and the ability to roll easily over less regular
surfaces.
Which size should I order online?
LandRoller skates use standard UK shoe and boot sizes. However the boots
are not flexible like a pair of shoes, therefore we suggest customers
order 1 size larger than their regular sports shoes size. Some
customers with wider feet may need 2 sizes larger. Should the skates be slightly large, most customers
wear a thick pair of socks, which also adds to riding comfort. After
receiving your skates, please try them on indoors on carpeted or hardwood
floors. If they do not fit, please return them as new and we will exchange them for another size. See
our shopping cart for Return Policy.
How do I brake with LandRollers?
LandRollers come with a brake arm and pad attached to the heel of the
right skate, which can easily be switched to the left skate if preferred. To
brake lift the toe and apply pressure to the heel of the braking skate. This forces the brake pad
against the ground. Experienced skaters may stop with tight turns and
T-brakes. These techniques are effective but increase wear on the
LandRoller wheels.
How should I maintain my LandRollers?
Use a moist cloth to wipe dirt off the frame and wheels. Occasionally
you can apply mild soap on the boot. Ensure than the bearings are clean and dry.
You can remove the inner liners and wash with
mild soap and water. Do not use a hairdryer as the strong heat can damage
your LandRollers. Instead please dry at room temperature.
Can I use my LandRollers in aggressive skating?
LandRollers are recreational/fitness skates and should not be used for
jumping and grinding as this can greatly damage the LandRollers.
