As you can see, the iSkate is now starting to earn some battle scars. We spent a few hours trialling it down some downward slopes today to try and get more speed, distance and basically more confidence on the thing. We had intended to take it to a skatepark in nearby Heswall, but it was full of young children with their parents and we figured that two grown men would ruin their Sunday afternoon by barging them out of the way and filming it.
We did find a nice quiet downhill path in a local park though and got rolling. After a horrific face plant however, we have decided that the leaning-forward / legs-back position is a total no go, if the Mac slows suddenly in any way you go straight over. Instead, the leaning-back position is a must to keep upright at any sort of speed.
** I will post the videos as soon as possible!!
