Roller skating got taken over by roller blading, what technology is next? Have a look at the next generation of wheels that can be attached to your feet and take your pick. They all look very interesting but I wonder how hard they are to use?
MAD Magazine actually predicted the return of 2+2 roller skates some fifteen years ago (MAD #317, March 1993?), though I don’t expect strapping an R/C car body to each foot will ever make you cool.
MagicWheel was actually developed by a Hungarian inventor and stolen by Chinese company in preproductioin sample stage. The guy never got any money out of it, Chinese law is no way to win for a foreigner. So ask them why it is so much overpriced.

MagicWheel looks like something one could build out of an old children’s bike

All of these TOTALLY pale in comparison to Wheel-skates ( http://www.chariotskates.com/ )
They’re going to be super expensive but I don’t care. It’s like *becoming* a bike.
