If the sticks were made similar to ski sticks, but had rubber spikes to help push you along, and also stop you falling over so much.

Roller Poles http://www.rollerpoles.com/
Baked. Many other brands available too. These have been around at least as long as in-line skates [waugsqueke, May 03 2002]

Itsy-bitsy plows attached to the front of the rollerblades?

Actually, [waugs], they pre-existed the inline skates but nobody knew what to do with them.

before inline skates, there were roller skis. actually, they still exist for dry-land cross-country ski training. and they require the use of roller poles-type poles.
