Introduction To Off-Road Inline 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.

The Surfari and the Dirtsurfer are two solid, quality inline boards that can be used on and off road. They both have similarities but they each offer a different riding experience.

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.

Both of these boards absolutely do not get speed wobble, ever. The dreaded speed wobble happens when a skateboard, longboard or 4 wheeled mountainboard is going too fast.

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.

The downside of some two wheeled boards like the Ripstik, is that they are limited to one terrain. They are fun to ride, but you are restricted to paved surfaces. What is wonderful about an off road inline board is that you can ride both on and off the road.

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.
