Just finished a sunday city skate, and surprisingly there wasn’t a huge difference like i suspected (due to the rockered wheels).
If any of you out there are interested in getting together in Philly, PA or Springfield, MA area, just email “list at theslalom dot com”
Also found a new site with a great tutorial on the Crazy which is what i wanna learn next. http://www.skatefreestyle.com/

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…
