Introduction To Inline Off-Road Boards

By Baxter Wells

Inline boards have two wheels. This sets them apart right away from traditional 4 wheeled skateboards. There are many different kinds of inline boards, but they are significantly less popular than skateboards. Even less known about are all terrain inline boards, which are what this article is about.

For a unique riding experience, the Dirtsurfer and the Surfari are great boards to try out. They both are similar in that they both only have two wheels, but they each offer a different ride.

What are some of the qualities of an off road inline board like the Surfari and the Dirtsurfer? First off, they are both exceptional at going fast. Inline boards like the ones I have mentioned offer a much more stable ride when compared to traditional four wheeled skateboards and longboards.

They absolutely do not get speed wobble. Speed wobble occurs on most four wheeled boards because of the design. Inline boards like the Dirtsurfer and the Surfari actually get more stable at higher speeds.

The looks and feeling of riding one of these is much different than a skateboard. The wheels are big enough to handle rough terrain that a skateboard would never be able to handle.

When you are board of riding paved surfaces on a Ripstik, you cant really take it off-roading. What is great about an off road inline board is that it can be used both on and off the road. This gives you many more options.

If you are a boarder that is looking for something fun, fast, and extreme, an off road inline board may be just what you are looking for. The Surfari is a great board for those who want to have more of the surfing feel while riding, while the Dirtsurfer caters to those who are looking for speed, maybe some jumps, and harder off road riding. - 16887
