They're just Orbit Wheels
These seem to just be a re-branding of the same product, orbit wheels, so I'll just what I said about those here. Yes, these are very difficult to learn, for me it took me many hours of practice to get the hang of. Once you get used to them though, they aren't any harder than anything else to operate. Orbit Wheels have some distinct advantages over similar products such as skateboards or freeline skates: - Orbit wheels can turn very fast, if you want them to--the only limiting factor is your speed. - Orbit wheels can work on much rougher terrain than freeline skates. For example, the first time I used freeline skates a faceplanted going over a bump I road over regularly on my orbit wheels. - They can go up hill. It's very physically taxing to do, but you can go up just as steep a hill as you could on a bike if you try hard enough. There are of course some cons as well: - As stated they are very hard to learn. For me it took me about a week of regular practice to get the point that I could go up hill; - They are very physically taxing. When you start out, you will find yourself very sore. Orbitwheels use a distinct set of muscles in your legs. Once you've developed these muscles it gets way easier, but you have to do it often. - They are slower than freeline skates. On a smooth, level surface, freeline skates tend to speed up a lot faster than Orbit Wheels. I imagine the makes them superior to Orbit Wheels doing tricks in a skatepark, but I wouldn't know since I haven't tried. Over all I'd say it was worth the buy for me. They can be a lot of fun, and when someone sees you riding these things it will blow their mind. They're not for everyone, so unless you're willing to commit the time to learn, I wouldn't recommend buying these. It really just depends how much you want it.
