Love the 76/80/80/76 banana rocker but I can see the benefit of your rockered setup, it makes sense. Rocker round the clock.

Interesting stuff. I don't use my Midtowns very much after picking up my Unnatural/Trimax setup, but when I do, I just run a three-down toe rocker. But with my suburban skating commute, I needed to balance stability at higher speeds with maneuverability. I used to run the "natural-ish" rocker Joey McGarry described in a now deleted writeup he did on K2 skates (I'm sure you know which one I'm talking about, Drew), but I had a pretty bad accident on that setup... bounced my face off the sidewalk and really fucked up my shoulder, partially tore my Acromio-clavicle ligament, still aches a year and a half later... speed wobbles on a down-hill section with rough asphalt... not fun.

I remember rockering my '94 Bravoblade GLs and never went back to flat. after 20 years of not skating, I got some 3x110's and I'm thinking of gettting rocker frames.

This aspect of equipment experimentation is one of my favourite things about skating. I tried the rocker on my uptowns which was pretty great, the uptowns never fitted well (too big) so the full effect wasn't felt. I should try different wheel sizes on my skates that fit better. Always enjoy the children over thirty series, cheers

Yupppppp. Once I went from solid inline to rockered, I never went back. I, too, prefer rockerable frames to pre-rockered (tho I love my 2019 Igors).

Just started with banana rocker my self and wow, people need to try it at least once.

I have the Seba X2R frame and didn’t mind it too much. It’s definitely a cheaper frame than my Katanas, but it works fine for me. I wish they hadn’t stopped making the adjustable rocker frames too, man. Seems like they weren’t around long.. and I’m glad I got all the variations of the Katana I wanted before it dipped out.

Fancy new makeover! Yass Queen!

This discussion is super interesting!

Great content as usual!

Interesting stuff. I've been contemplating some rockering at some point soon. This gives me some ideas of what to expect & things to consider 👌

Seems like a radical idea but I like it. I may something like it with my R100s so they feel less like clown shoes when trying to learn slalom tricks. Thank you

I have always enjoyed red and white together. Those look fine. 😚

You mentioned you would need to work up to this rockered set up. I’m coming straight from figure skating to inline skates and I’m worried the banana rocker would feel too much like hockey and trip me up. Do you recommend starting with a rocker setup like this one for a figure skater?

How do you like the FR1? I have 80s and was thinking about leaving the front in and switching the rest to 84s giving a 2mm rocker from the axle line.

I'd love to try this but I'm on a 231mm frame with 72/76/76/72 street invader wheels. Are there even any 70mm wheels? I assume I would need to get rockered frames.

I skate on 72/80/80/72 and I love it.

08:04 "72 down, 80 down, 80 down, 80 up." That's 2 0 0 2 mm rocker, pretty standard one. The front has 2mm, not 4mm.
