skates and poles you will need

1. You will need to modify a pair of inline skates. Cut off the extra wheels. Make sure that the remaining wheel is under the ball of the foot i.e. 1/3 from the toe 2/3 from the heel.Save extra wheels and bearings for spares later.
2. Poles that are as high as your belt. Adjustable hiking poles are a good choice.
3. Heel brake you will need later.
4. A chair with a back that is as high as your belt.
