Title:Bootless inline skate(lion note:in our case,it is with boot!!)Publication Date:02/20/2003Document Type and Number:United States Patent 20030034618Kind Code:A1Abstract:A skate with inline wheels is disclosed that employs a lever (termed a mast) to provide the upright support and lateral control usually supplied by a stiff boot or shell. The lever doesn't trap heat and perspiration as will the boot or shell, particularly since these must be lined with heavy padding to provide a modicum of comfort.Moreover, unlike the skate boot, the mast may be folded back along the frame of the skate when not in use to enhance portability and minimize the need for storage space. Additionally, the various embodiments of the invention are easier to put on and take off than traditional designs. These features gain additional utility when considered in combination, which have the collective efficacy to usher the inline design into entirely new applications.The inventor considers that the impressive speed of inline skates generally, combined with the features disclosed herein, may someday cast this erstwhile toy and sports accessory into a new role as a practical transport machine.

Pl invent and apply patent or talk to MINDEF,DSTA,DSO,or IE Spore for appling patent.Good Luck!!
2.Almost forget.The trainers is outsourced or fr SAF.But the minimum requirement like this:
i've always regarded ur posts with neutrality. but i think this one........is really quite crap.
1) training time - its bad enough ns is cut down to minimally 1 yr 10 mths, which compromises on training time. good for soldiers:) bad for trainers. to skate proficiently may take up to 2 months or more.
2) how r u gonna go into vegetation? or if u r an urban warrior, how to go up stairs properly and quickly?
3) it'll get lost, the same way ur kneepads get lost, or ur rifle cleaning kit.
4)it looks quite painful.
5) this is not gonna work for any of the vocations. not even infantry.

Think first.This new stuff for medium or long distant.Use your judgement to use.
1.Pick the good skaters lah.
2.Have i told u go into wrong place with this skate?
3.any thing may get lose,including yourself!
So do u bring yourself along?
4. and 5.Thats why i need u guys valuable input lah.
Question:Any inventions?
"2.Have i told u go into wrong place with this skate?"
I believe the problem is you can't go anywhere with this skate, not especially when you are "skating" with over 30 kilos of stuff.
"3.any thing may get lose,including yourself!"
I am sure given how useless a pair of skates are to a grunt in the field, he will quickly "lose" it and gladly sign the 1206
"4. and 5.Thats why i need u guys valuable input lah."
Here's my input, based on what we read in your posts:
Basic english and simple logic training would be far more useful for our troops
"Question:Any inventions?"
BTW, there's a human powered transport that has been used by the military to good use and certainly more useful and faster then skates... it's called a bicycle.
Skates? Leave it for the beach patrol police.
walau eh, where the mods ah?
this place is going out of control
I have seen my share of humour but this one takes the cake.
this is interesting.
But I'll leave this thread open. After all, some bad? humour every now and then never did hurt anyone
err, this chap spam the forum wor
i think, the best thing we should do, is to ask lionnoisy for comments on practicality. lionnoisy? i'm asking this in fairness to you, everyone's entitled to his/her opinion.
I'll give you +1 for creativity .....
noisy lion:
Bicycle troops are still okay..... the Japs showed the versatility of the bicycle in the invasion of Malaya during WWII.
Ski troops in snow warfare is still okay..... ski troops gave the Soviets hell during the Winter War phase of WWII.
But, uh.... inline skate troops? They're totally counterproductive in jungle warfare and almost totally useless in urban warfare. At least you can toss aside a bike if needed.... but uh.... taking off your blades and putting your boots on is a lot more difficult.
Don't believe me? Try charging up a staircase or a hill in a pair of rollerblades, then tell me what you think, okay?
getting stuck in mud sure sounds good.
and how do you intend to move silently with wheels? defeats the 3 basic rules in outfield training.
i suppose this new unit will be call "Rapid Response Tactical Inline Skating Unit" or RRTISU....and all will be wearing new uniform...

inline skating force maybe ridiculous..but the chine police force have done this..
thanks for the laugh.. i needed it
did you watch news? french police also have such things.
commando force on skates.... to disguise them as little children or smth...lols
No equip armour with Lamborghinis?
For police patrols such as those in US beaches but not suitable for soldier in combat who is carrying much more than the average police officier. Even if the wheels can handle the additional weight, the ankles will surely hurt.
:)
How the fuck do you perform your contact drills on roller blades?
"CONTACT FRONT" *BANG BANG BANG BANG*
"SECTION - Straight Ahead, 50, FIRE!"
"...Eh...Sgt, wait ar...need to take off boots."
how r u gonna skate in the damn bloody forest with mud, grass, stones??? even go fibua how r u jus like others pointed out, going up stairs? with 10-20kg of back packs u think its easy? have u served went through a field exercise??? or r u jus a pec E cleck sitting in the air con room playing CS n maplestory???
p/c : ok men! due to technical constraints, we cannot chiong into the building! so we shall use our super high tech skates and do figure skating on the parade grnd!
imagine throwing the wheels at the enemy...

Thanks, but we already have motorbikes for medium to long distance, and yes, motorbikes off-road, and through jungles not too dense. We have training for it; there's a SOC for military bikes class 2B licence.
