Rockered Skates

So i just got back from the art museum. First time with the new cones, but more importantly, first time rockered. I used 7472mm 88a wheels in the front, and left my slightly worn 76mm 80a wheels in the middle. Not rockered very much, but i think the hardness also contributed to the effect.

So doing the cones was way easier, and i was even able to do stuff i couldn’t do before, like one foot. However, skating around just to skate was very awkward. Oh well, i guess i need to learn to skate again. I’m sure there will be lots of falling when i go skating in the city, cause i’m not going to rocker and unrocker my wheels all the time.

Conclusion: rockered wheels is a must for slalom. Unfortunately i’m going to be shaky doing any other kind of skating…
