I wish I could afford a pair of Armani Quadline Skates for my BOB.

Has anyone considered adding skates (as opposed to a bike) to their vehicle kit?

Retro-neato-cool...or something.

The last time I saw 'strap on' roller skates They were by Fisher Price and my cousin's kid was the coolest kid on the block.

Earlier the term was "tight." Now that I am out of high school, I am out of the loop.

Looks like a very expensive way to get a broken ankle. One pebble/stone/twig and its all over but the crying and fixin' yourself up with the contents from your BOB. So much for being mobile. I'll take first class walking over slick-looking rollerskating any day. Besides, I can't skate.

I'm thinking the physics of rollerskating while wearing a backpack would take a lot of getting used to. It would really throw off your balance leading to disaster. Add trying to defend yourself any you'd probably just end up being the coolest looking corpse on the block.

Skateboard might be a good combo; works as a striking instrument or shield if you really have to.

However, if you're not in an urban environment, skates or skateboards won't work well.

Plus, I think a lot of the forum members would look pretty silly wearing their mandatory 5-sizes-too-large-pants while boarding around.

I can't imagine a face plant being a good thing with the extra weight on your back.
