Q: Are these good enough to test Darwin theory if used without helmet?

I wore a helmet when I was first learning on them. But it wasn’t long before I stopped using one altogether. I’ve had SEVERAL friends try them out. It takes time and practice to get anywhere near good, but neither me nor my friends have ever actually fallen. You just hop off.

Q: How do you keep them attached to your feet? Like if you had to jump a curb.

A: It would be very dangerous to have these things attached to your feet. You need to be able to hop off when things go scary. That said, the type of shoe and thickness of sole are extremely important. Thicker soles give you more power and easier speed, but hurt your precision and maneuverability suffers. It’s the opposite with thin-soled shoes. And sorry but there’s no “jumping curbs” with these bad boys. It would be more like TUMBLING over curbs.

Q: How fast do they go and can I do some sweet, sweet grinds on the rails?

No grinding, not so much due to the answer from “guy:-)” above. More so due to the fact that you can’t hop or jump onto a rail to grind, because your feet aren’t secured to them in any way. Raise your foot off the “hoverskate”, and the skate’s motor will disengage within a few moments, and you’ll be either balancing on the remaining skate with one leg in the air, or you’ll be on the pavement lamenting your grind ambitions.

Q: What happens if you lift one foot? Like you were actually skating?

The skate is not attached to your foot. So if you lifted one foot, the skate would go off it’s own and eventually stop since your body isn’t applying pressure to move/direct it. I have had these for over a year now. They’re a lot of fun however you need to be a bit careful about the terrain you’re riding on.
