Invented by Bob Childs in 1998 for Kite Skating, by removing the wheels from Inline Skates and replacing them with two large Mini Bike wheels, these skates are fit for all terrain, similar to Mountain Bikes.

Today there are several different types of all terrain skates, such as Quad motor skates, motorized all terrain skates and all terrain inline skates.

There are also various new groups and races becoming popular in early 2006.
