I’m not a skater, ice or otherwise, as I have this thing about looking like a complete idiot as I am being hauled off in an ambulance with various broken bones and bruised pride. That said I gotta admit if I was an inline skater these would be so damn sweet.

Hell it might even be worth the ambulance ride but unfortunately the Mercury Skate is only a concept idea put together by Pouyan Mokhtarani and as such live in the same world as the Hoverboard. To help you get over the agony here’s some more shots of what they could be like – if they were real.
