I am looking for some skates that will help me get fit again after several pregnancies and surgeries. I like the fact that the MOJOs seem to go a little slower and will go over pretty much anything. I had a few bad spills going over some rocks with previous old-fashioned models…. any advice?

I just tried out my new Landroller Mojos today. Ugh, ugh, ugh! These are FASTER bearings? It is SO NOT fun skating on these. Yes, it’s true they go over just about anything– I went over the tram tracks no problem. But they are SO slow and SO much work!
I think they’d be good skates if you’re a big buff guy looking for a harder workout, or if you’re Cesar Milan and have a big dog pulling you– but if you skate because you love that gliding feeling of freedom, forget it. Unless I can figure out how to change the bearings, these were an expensive mistake. And I really wanted to like them…

I haven’t tried any other skates. I decided to stick with my CCM inlines.

Hi I just read your review of the landrollers and was wondering if you have ever tried the Quadline skates. I have seen countless vid’s for the quads and even the skorpian strap on’s but have really can’t get a good review from someone who has tried these and the land rollers . Was wondering if you have or know of a great skate online blog where I might pose the question. Thanks for any info

Update on the new Landroller, the Mojo. Lighter, different bearings, better wheels. The big mistake everyone makes is that they buy them and figure, “these are a new inline skate.” They aren’t, they are a completely different design. When I first put them on, they felt weird and a little slow. All of my skills, muscle build up, and even calluses were for a different skate. After a week, my speed was back, my control is great, and these are SO much easier on my bad knee. (more than a decade of roller hockey will do that.)
All in all, serious improvements over the first model.
Too much negativity on the internet. It wasn’t a product that works for everyone, boo hoo. Get over it.

Thanks, I was considering buying these, but now I will wait and try a pair first. Maybe there will be a model with really fast bearigs, those big wheels should haul ass, they look to me like a great distance skate, maybe even a good city skate, I wonder how durable they are, and how well they do on long flights of stairs, or skating backwards.

I sent mine back. I was not very impressed. They’re unique, but not for me. I much prefer my traditional inline skates. Nick and Hunter’s comments are spot on.

So in doing some research on the Landrollers, I came across your blog. Since this review was posted some time ago, what I am curious to know is if your opinion has changed. Have they grown on you at all, or do they gather dust in the corner of the closet? I am finding it difficult to ignore the siren song of all those positive reviews on the Landroller website. Do you still say to steer clear?

i just got these stupid Landrollers at the tune of $284.00 including shipping. What a waste of money. yeah, I get looks and oohs and ahs but there speed is awful, acceleration worse and the boot is – well I had to go up to size 12 after a NIGHTMARE attempt to exchange them with their “customer service” one man show “James ka”. The size 12 of course is a 1/4″ too big and the next size down was unbearably too small. My dog out runs me in these skates – runs ahead on the leash. As a side note – I returned the first skate and they said they had no record of me printing out a return label and therefore – AFTER – I shipped it back they said there was “nothing we can do”. I, like an idiot thought I printed out the tracking number but I had only kept in my email which was inadvertently deleted. So “they’ were TOTAL dicks about the return until I threatened to report them to BBB and the D.A. for consumer fraud. FUCK LANDROLLER. Their skate sucks, their service is non-existent. Maybe a conversation starter with a chic if your on the boardwalk but if you have to resort to that then you could just wear a cool hat and work on your pick up skills. DONT BUY THEM.
