My competitors say the tiny single tiny caster is unsafe, unstable, and offers no advantages over traditional designs, to which I say: wow, why are you guys so mean? I thought we were friends!

Three wheel skates should rebrand as something cooler, like in-line skates, or even better “roller blades”.

Roller blades had four wheels though.

I vote for Threelies.

Also a gap in the high-wheel count, mid-sized market!

I think warehouses have things that would probably count, but we need consumer-facing options!

There’s also a huge 0-wheels market. Just think how cool wheel-free skates and boards are.

Mattel cornered that market in 2015, but for some reason that timeline got erased.

^(I guess that timeline glitch happened due to Harambe?)^

Idk, you’d have to be a wizard to make that look cool. Like Gandalf the Grey or Shaun the White.
