Abstract
Disclosed is a skate including base structure attached to and underlying a durable foot covering having heel and toe ends. A first axle is pivoted to the base structure proximate the heel end and has opposing ends. The opposing ends of the first axle carry opposing parallel first and second in-line wheeled frameworks. A second axle is pivoted to the base structure proximate the toe end and has opposing ends. The opposing ends of the second axle carry opposing parallel third and fourth opposing parallel third and fourth in-line wheeled frameworks.
