Gateskate's Tralskates ARE BACK by popular demand!
Trail Skates™ all-terrain skates, designed and developed by GateSkate, Inc.,
follow in the footsteps of a number of other great recreational sports trends
like mountain biking, snowboarding, and in-line skating. Trail Skates™ all-terrain
skates are designed to go over any type of surface including asphalt, dirt,
gravel, grass and mountain trails. They roll easily over bumps, cracks, and
debris.
Hand-controlled hydraulic brakes located in the rear wheel of each skate
allow skaters to easily control speed and stop quickly while maintaining a comfortable,
balanced, upright body position.
The combination of high-pressure air-tires, flexible composite chassis and
adjustable boot-binding system provide an extremely smooth low-impact ride delivering
an excellent aerobic exercise much like cross-country skiing.
All-terrain skating is poised to become the next mega sports fitness craze.
Think of it as a combination of mountain biking, skiing, and in-line skating
packed into a single experience.
As a fitness activity, all-terrain skating has a tremendous appeal to a large
cross-section of recreational sports enthusiasts including: downhill and cross
country skiers. water skiers, snowboarders, in-line skaters, roller skaters,
mountain bikers, runners and hikers.
Skating on Trail Skate™ all-terrain skates provides the same health and
fitness benefits as Cross Country Skiing and traditional In-line skating.
Outdoor Cross Training (OXT) has become the hot topic in physical fitness circles.
Imagine doing an activity in the summer and fall months that can tone the same
muscle groups you use for winter sports like cross-country or down hill skiing.
If you are looking for a complete Outdoor Cross Training experience, TrailSkate
all-terrain skates provide:
- A low impact exercise (low compression on the joints) and is recommended
for intermediate and advanced fitness level exercisers.
- The same health and fitness benefits as Cross Country Skiing (when used
with ski poles) and traditional In-line Skating.
- An aerobic exercise that will enhance the muscular strength and muscular
endurance levels of the mid-torso muscle (abdominals and lower back) and lower
body's muscle groups (hips, gluteals, quadriceps, hamstrings and calves).
In addition, all-terrain skating helps:
Swimmers and Cyclists who rely heavily on the quadriceps, hamstrings, gluteal
and hip muscles; all-terrain skating gives those muscle groups a tougher workout.
Also, all-terrain skaters extend their legs more quickly than cyclists do, which
increases leg strength.
Runners can benefit from all-terrain skating because the low-impact nature
of the sport can help prevent overuse injuries. Since one has to push laterally
to move forward, one can improve the balance, which is necessary for sports
requiring lateral movements such as skiing and tennis.
The TrailSkate™ all-terrain skate is an evolutionary leap in the advancement
of human powered sports.
They are easy to ride... and a whole lot of fun!
