The hum of a motor, the rasp of pine needles under wide wheels—this is electric skating across the Landes. You start in a traffic-free practice area, calves warming, helmet fastened, then push off into a landscape split between towering maritime pines and the Atlantic’s wind-sanded edges. The machine leans where you lean; the forest answers with shaded tracks and the sea with a salt-bright gust that tests your balance.
