This video convinced me to try city skating with a rockered setup again. I tried it once but it felt strange in the beginning so i sticked to the flat setup. But i ll try it again now
I suggest doing the first few sessions with a rocketed setup on completely flat ground, such as new level asphalt or an indoor rink (highly recommended). This way you learn how your skates behave and respond in a controlled environment, and you can try different techniques and movements safely (such as braking, crossovers and skating backwards). I recommend going hard with turns, braking and accelerating to test and learn the limits of your skates, like skate at high speed and do tight crossovers until your wheels lose grip and you fall (always wear protective gear). It took me around 2-3 2-hour sessions to get accustomed to the new rocking motion and less grip when turning side-to-side, and further 10 hours for the setup to feel second-nature. Simply put, take your time when trying new things out and test them to their limits before hitting the streets.
kaburuk18 You may want to try a front rocker setup for city skating, unless you're doing lots of slalom. Front rocker just has the small wheel on front, the rest are same size.
+Derek Simmons In a skate without rocker, the four points of contact make the skate always want to go in a straight line. If you want to turn, you have to drag the front and back wheels. When you only have two wheels touching there is less grip, or less friction preventing your turn. BUT, it also means when you make sharp turns at speed you will have less grip. It's a question of compromises. Slalom skaters are not moving at high speed, so that's not a concern they have.
Thank you so much man, i just started skating and my first setup turned out to be full rockered type. For around a month i used my toes to balance my body and yeah, it's feel stupid ...... (everytime i skate i always fell lol). After watching this video i use more of my heel and it feels like miracle. I guess being ignorant and trying do something without even learn how to do it properly wouldn't always give good outcome. Once again man THANKS 😁😁😁
I tried this full banana rockered for street runs a couple months ago and hated it, so i whent back to a flat set up when on the streets, just gave it another go a few weeks, and love it!!!!! havent been on a flat set up since. thanks for your video and recomendations.
Dude, you're right! I did not want to beleive it at first but as my frames can lift up front and back wheels, I tried it. So I started with half rockered setup, with only the front wheels, and it felt better instantly although there was a lack of stability (and my skates are much less stable than High lights). So i did the full rockered setup. There was a big improvement in control, but again, a serious downside regarding stability. Still I sticked to it untill I got used to it, even if skating was a little scary because of the stability. After a while I decided to go back to the flat setup, and it was just impossible to skate again like that. It felt like my skates where stuck on rails! So I tried again the "half" rockered and it's now just perfect, probably because with those skates the center of gravity is located in the back. Impossible to go back to the flat setup now.
Yoo Thiago! I skate 20 miles a day in Miami and my top speed is up to 30mph. I played hockey my whole life, i use 4x80mm 84A i think i can be the camera man you are looking for!!
That's was very useful for me. I'm skating for a little more than 1 years now, I just joined Slalom lessons but I wasn't sure if I should do this set up for my skates or not. You know what? I'll go for it. Hugs from Brazil :)
I agree w the "you'll hate it at first" approach... b/c rockering has shaped my freestyle to the point that when I put all brand new wheels on that are the same size, they WILL shave down to a rocker that I am used to in just a couple of days. You'll have way more freedom in your skating once you become accustomed to these. It emulates the feel of ice hockey skating- turns become quicker and tighter. Now having my skates flat is weird to me...
PS - I haven't been stung by a bee since I was a little kid - until recently I visited Nova Scotia and as soon as I stepped off the boat, a Canadian bee landed and got stuck in my shirt collar - stung me twice! I didn't think they could do that!
@@chrisrugh792be related but I was in the back garden and it's pretty wild. I felt something on my left wrist. I looked down to find a wasp curling up and sticking pin into my wrist.

Once you go rocker, you NEVER want to go back.... Flats is an acquired taste especially if you come from an ice skating background. The manoeuvrability is almost orgasmic 🤤🤤
Hi Tiago Just got back into skating and your tutorials are really detailed, I’ve just got a pair of K2 Sodos they seem very stable but really hard to steer, would you recommend a Bannana rocker set up? Haven’t skated for 10 yrs.
Started with this setup unknowingly at first, got my first skates and it was already like that. Was getting annoyed as I seem to be pushing much harder than my peers but not going as fast, finally realized its because this setup was slower. Went to get wheels for a flat setup and almost hit a tree the first time I tried as it barely turns, would probably go back to my old set up, or maybe try a front rocker instead
Hi Tiago. I have a question. Are 3 weels inline skates able to rockered?. Is that convinient to gain maneuverability? what kind of set up is the most used?
i love your skates, what skates you using..? is there any effect if i buy the cheap skates than the original or branded..? i bought the cheapest one last week but its hard for me to balance.. thank you..
I have been rolling around with a front rockered 84-84-84-80 set up for several months now. I actually only started doing this, due to the fact that I could not remove one of my original 80mm wheels, when I had decided to replace all of my 80's with 84's. Now, I am extremely comfortable with this front rockered setup. I'm wondering if a transition to full rocker would come easier to me now because of this experience?
Great video, once again. I have to admit I'm one of those who hated rockered (a looong time ago) and never let it grow on me, just went back to flat. Maybe I'll give it another chance in the future.
Hi Tiago, I got a quick question. What is the configuration 80/76/76/72 mm called? I am used to that configuration but not sure whether I should rock your configuration which i saw in other videos were 72/76/76/72 mm?
I started taking figure skating lessons this winter and a few days ago I put on my inline skates again and I forgot that they aren't rockered and it felt so weird. I don't have money for inline figure skates yet but I could try this set up on my normal inlines!
so i tryed to rocker some skates just to see how itd feel but i cant seem to center my gravity at the back when im leaning forwards to skate with long strides
Salut Tiago, merci pour cette vidéo, et toutes les autres aussi. Le montage est dynamique et l'ensemble sympa à regarder (et à écouter aussi). Perso j'ai une préférence pour les flows, c'est (curieusement xD) toujours sympa à regarder. Je suis débutant et j'ai pour le moment une moitié de rockered (seule la roue avant est surélevée) car on m'avait dit que ça se rapprocherait du patinage sur glace que j'avais un peu pratiqué (2 mois assez irréguliers). Je suis donc intéressé à passer au full rockered. Donc si je comprends bien, avec cette configuration, sur une surface plane, seules 2 roues peuvent toucher le sol en même temps. Les 2 plus importantes sont les 2 centrales et on peut utiliser les 2 du devant pour finir les poussées comme tu l'as dit. J'ai compris qu'il y a moins de gomme en contact avec la surface et que cela facilite les mouvements. Mais j'ai du mal à trouver plus de précisions sur l'utilisation de la configuration full rockered. Je me demande donc (hors tricks du genre toe/heel wheeling) : - Quels sont les cas où j'utilise les 2 roues arrières ? Aurais-je jamais à prendre appui sur elles ? Si non quelle est l'utilité de la roue arrière ? juste avoir un appui arrière en cas de déséquilibre ? - Y-a-t-il d'autres cas où j'utilise les 2 roues avants ? - Ou au final cela importe peu ? On peut réaliser une majorité de mouvements sur chaque paire de roues et c'est juste une question de feeling et de choix de glisse ? Glisser c'est super et comprendre comment c'est encore meilleur. Merci pour les retours de quiconque sur ce commentaire ;)
would you reccomend a total beginner starting with rockered skates? im trying to replace ice skating with inline skating while ice rinks are closed due to covid, and a rockered set up reminds me the most of ice skates.
I live in Canada and I have just gotten inline skates a month ago and I am on them about an hour a day. My wheels are really shedding down and I need new ones that are a decent price cause 15$ a wheel is to much. What would u recommend
Wow, $15 a wheel? Wondering how much you weigh. I’m 185, working down to 175, but I think my weight is harder on wheels and especially bearings when I jump. Really good experience with: Softer wheel: Seba Streat Invader 84A 80mm and 76mm $7.50 each wheel. However, I also like using harder wheels sometimes, seems more stable with my weight, I guess? And, the harder wheels should last longer. Just put the following on this week and they're pretty sweet: UnderCover Deer, 76mm, 86A 4 for $36 UnderCover Tiger 80mm, 86A 4 for $32
I have had perfectly good results getting blank wheels off Ebay. I have been able to find 80mm 88a wheels for about $30 for all 8 (just did a search and best I see now is $42 for a set of 8, shipped to US). I weigh about 195 lbs. and totally love the harder durometer. If you are a newer skater and not above 200 lbs. stick with 80 - 83a durometers first, as the harder ones are harsh and will not roll as smoothly in the typical outdoor environment. I've been skating for over 20 years and am still unsure of the benefits of fancy schmancy name-brand wheels, as I've never wanted to pay the price. One bit of advice: indoor specific wheels will shred and wear weird if used outdoors, regardless of their stated durometer. Other than that, I've only had one set of blanks be crap out of the perhaps 10 sets I've used. Oh, and don't be a dumb Canadian, who only knows how to skate on his inside edges (speaking from experience, this is a typical problem for hockey-bred skaters). Learn to skate on your outside edges, and you'll get dramatically more even wheel wear and longer life.
I used to skate with this setup but I rather prefer HI-LO with hokey roller skates. I'm less about slalom - more about the high speed with power stops / power slides.
Good idea.... explaining the freestyle setup and purpose... from time to time I love freestyle skates...i know how I rotate mine... have you done a video on how to rotate a freestyle setup yet?
Question- i understand the rockered setup falls under the advanced skills but for the sake of having good form and not create bad habits do you advise beginners to attempt this setup or learn flat with all 4s then graduating to this?
I would suggest starting with a flat setup. It gets you used to having wheels attached to your feet and you're still able to do most movements, plus they're very stable which is what beginners like. After you feel happy with crossovers and going on one leg, try replacing only the front wheels. This will introduce you to the wider range of motion rockers provide, while still retaining most of the stability. Once it feels like second nature, replace the rear wheels as well. This was my method and I found it to be a smooth transition while also giving me room to learn new things in the mean time. As for bad habits, I recommend bringing an experienced skater with you to observe and support you to break any 'bad habits'. While you're learning, the one thing I recommend you pay attention to is the amount of stress and tension in your muscles. If you're doing something and you become very tense, you're probably doing it wrong. While doing various techniques, your body should be relaxed. When you walk, you don't tense up your legs and back to turn somewhere, and neither should you do on skates. Hope this helps.
@Everyone - how about full Townhill like buzzing the hills and slopes of London UK, with rockered? It's doable, a lot of rocker frames are only 1mm MAYBE Tiagio will do a rockered downhill video PS if you're in London Tiagio I will help film you!
Depends if you have a straight frame or rockered frame. For a straight frame, rotate the first with the last wheels, and the 2 middle wheels with themselves. This is because you will have different size wheels depending on their position, and if you move them around you will have a different rocker. For a rockered frame, all the wheels are the same size so rotate as a flat setup.
@@Lemonayde in theory yes, but in my personal case, not really haha! Even if the wheels are pretty used, I still keep a rocker! And to stop on a fast pace, it's the same as the flat rocker; just that you'll have to be a bit more careful! But you'll get used to it!
It's a bit more wobbly of course, and it can be more difficult to take off and land in the centre of the skate as there's a wide range of forward-back movement in comparison to a straight setup. Then again, after some practise I don't feel like I'm being limited by my rockered setup in terms of jumps.
Yoo congrats on 5k subs keep it up !!! do you have snapchat so i can add you or maybe ask some question about skating ? You are best !!! Keep up working hard !! I learn soo much about skating with your videos best i learn is crossovering from your video !!! Thanks for all !!! :)
A flat setup feels so weird to me, because I started with a rockered setup. Now I only skate agressive and my setup still is rockered. I know that it is totally uncommon, but even the flat setup felt way too restrictive and it works great. I skate a lot of halfpipe and some street and it works. I only have a slight rocker, so when skating in a curved ramp I still have the two outer wheels touching the ramp.
Would you buzz the slopes and downhills on rockered? I have 90 mm, Tri, only 1 mm rocker In some ways I think it's safer because the front wheel is slightly elevated four more ground clearance When I say the slopes I'm talking London UK, marble arch, westbound, a healthy slope
In my rush to buy my 1st pair of skates since i was 10 years old (now 30 YO) i made a mistake to buy this kind of skates and jesus i though i knew how to skate but this ones are super scary, always feel like if im not in control, i already fall hard but gotta keep practicing but from scratch
Let's imagine a rockered trisake... [sounds crazyyyy] back wheel smaller, two front wheel bigger (same size), do you think it'll work?? Et si jamais, roller parade à Bruxelles les vendredis soir ;) (Paris Bruxelles easy game!)
You would want the smaller wheel on the front, I'm thinking. It's easy to try the various setups, though: after you've worn your wheels a little get some new wheels and substitute them for where you want your rocker.
Joseph Hi! in this vid I've put a link to another video I made where I explain all of that :) ua-cam.com/video/Z918t9sF_jg/v-deo.html ( it's mainly for freestyle skaters. smaller wheels on the front and back of the frames highly improve the skate's manoeuverability. and this is what you want when doing freestyle tricks, and Speed Slalom :) I just got addicted to it and use it everyday even if I'm just skating around :) )
I know the feeling. When I was advancing from a straight to a rockered setup, I was terrified of leaning too far forwards or backwards and fall. What I did was I did a half-rocker, meaning I made only the front wheels smaller. After a month or so, I got used to the feeling and I then replaced the rear wheels as well. It was a lot easier to transfer in comparison to going for a banana rocker cold turkey.
dont be such a tease about HOW fast mastering proper toe flicks and double push make you go. blebbing that tongue out all the time is gonne mess up the aerodyamics too! D_:
Amm i have little problem and i need some help, sooo i took my break off and now this thing (check picture please my english is crap xD) prntscr.com/fopkn7 is longer, so what should i do with it or where can i get new one ? Thanks :3
Alright, thanks, btw 1 more question, smaller wheels are better for balancing and stopping then bigger ? Coz im thinking about gething idk maybee 72 mm instead of 80 mm because im going to break my leggs xD
This video convinced me to try city skating with a rockered setup again. I tried it once but it felt strange in the beginning so i sticked to the flat setup.
But i ll try it again now
I'm really glad I convinced you to re-use this setup :D have fun!

I haven't considered getting a rocker setup but then again, I want LEGS OF STEEL

lolo glagla haha! same thing for me ! :D
I could try half rockered too. I've got a FR2 one's. My max velocity was aprox 40km/h in a downhill...
could you make top 5 slalom tricks to learn for beginners? Thanks
Chicken Noodles ^ this!!!
I would like to see this as well
Good idea!

I'm beginner, I feel rockered setup makes the center of soles of the feet getting tired so fast...
Is this also happens in flat setup?
Hey man I am learning this rocker setup. Can we get a more in depth video.
so i tryed to rocker some skates just to see how itd feel but i cant seem to center my gravity at the back when im leaning forwards to skate with long strides

- Y-a-t-il d'autres cas où j'utilise les 2 roues avants ?
- Ou au final cela importe peu ? On peut réaliser une majorité de mouvements sur chaque paire de roues et c'est juste une question de feeling et de choix de glisse ?

Super helpful!! Merci Tiago! :)
Does this setup wear out the wheels a lot. How do you rotate them?
Félicitation !! et aussi merci pour les conseils, tu es genial :D. Saluts du Mexique :P

This was my method and I found it to be a smooth transition while also giving me room to learn new things in the mean time. As for bad habits, I recommend bringing an experienced skater with you to observe and support you to break any 'bad habits'. While you're learning, the one thing I recommend you pay attention to is the amount of stress and tension in your muscles. If you're doing something and you become very tense, you're probably doing it wrong. While doing various techniques, your body should be relaxed. When you walk, you don't tense up your legs and back to turn somewhere, and neither should you do on skates. Hope this helps.
You are a super cool and inspiring person! xo
@Everyone - how about full Townhill like buzzing the hills and slopes of London UK, with rockered? It's doable, a lot of rocker frames are only 1mm
MAYBE Tiagio will do a rockered downhill video
PS if you're in London Tiagio I will help film you!
Which are the best combined mm sizes of the wheels?
J'aimerais reproduire les sensations du patin à glace vu que les patinoire sont fermé est ce ce qu'il me faut ?
Great show
,
Eai Tiago, estou afim de começar a praticar mas não sei qual patins comprar com um custo beneficio bom e que seja bom, aguardo uma resposta, abraço!
Good video! Just wondering, how do you rotate wheels on this full rockered setup?
Depends if you have a straight frame or rockered frame. For a straight frame, rotate the first with the last wheels, and the 2 middle wheels with themselves. This is because you will have different size wheels depending on their position, and if you move them around you will have a different rocker. For a rockered frame, all the wheels are the same size so rotate as a flat setup.
You're right man. I just started and it feels difficult. I used T-braking on flat setup. But how do you do stop or breake on full rockered ? 🤔🤔
The same way!
@@TiagoInlineSkater so then the 2 bigger wheels will wear faster than the other 2 ? hehe
How do you stop on fast pace tho ?
@@Lemonayde in theory yes, but in my personal case, not really haha! Even if the wheels are pretty used, I still keep a rocker!
And to stop on a fast pace, it's the same as the flat rocker; just that you'll have to be a bit more careful! But you'll get used to it!
Ok, Tiago, I want this, so what should I buy? Can you write down everything for me? Thank you.
Can you jump comfortably with the rockered skates?
It's a bit more wobbly of course, and it can be more difficult to take off and land in the centre of the skate as there's a wide range of forward-back movement in comparison to a straight setup. Then again, after some practise I don't feel like I'm being limited by my rockered setup in terms of jumps.
Yoo congrats on 5k subs keep it up !!! do you have snapchat so i can add you or maybe ask some question about skating ? You are best !!! Keep up working hard !! I learn soo much about skating with your videos best i learn is crossovering from your video !!! Thanks for all !!! :)
haha thank you!
no sorry, I'm not on snapchat anymore :) Instagram, yes! ^^
thanks for responding but my insta is hacked :(
Great one bro! Keep on going :D
I might try and rockered setups in the near future
A flat setup feels so weird to me, because I started with a rockered setup. Now I only skate agressive and my setup still is rockered. I know that it is totally uncommon, but even the flat setup felt way too restrictive and it works great.
I skate a lot of halfpipe and some street and it works. I only have a slight rocker, so when skating in a curved ramp I still have the two outer wheels touching the ramp.
Would you buzz the slopes and downhills on rockered?
I have 90 mm, Tri, only 1 mm rocker
In some ways I think it's safer because the front wheel is slightly elevated four more ground clearance
When I say the slopes I'm talking London UK, marble arch, westbound, a healthy slope
Rockered vs 4qouad? Pros and cons..and more??
How do you like the Gyro wheels? Also, I would love to record for you, if you need a cameraman.
I love that bee
J'ai kiffé le puta**
Bravo ! Tres bonne chaine 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I can skate and film you no problem! I have a question.. What inspires you to new ideas on UA-cam videos on inline skating?
In my rush to buy my 1st pair of skates since i was 10 years old (now 30 YO) i made a mistake to buy this kind of skates and jesus i though i knew how to skate but this ones are super scary, always feel like if im not in control, i already fall hard but gotta keep practicing but from scratch
Really need a balace tutorial!
Can you get basic on skating . I just got my new seba
Let's imagine a rockered trisake... [sounds crazyyyy] back wheel smaller, two front wheel bigger (same size), do you think it'll work??
Et si jamais, roller parade à Bruxelles les vendredis soir ;) (Paris Bruxelles easy game!)
You would want the smaller wheel on the front, I'm thinking. It's easy to try the various setups, though: after you've worn your wheels a little get some new wheels and substitute them for where you want your rocker.
Makes sens! I'm thinking it might work better with seba's aneven setup, with the two back wheel closer... Sth to try out I guess :D
your top 5 anime
okay so. I once chizzled down my front and back wheels down to get rockered skates
I get natural full rockered setup by not swapping the wheels for a while. XD
I'm sure that's how they invented it.
Je viens de découvrir ta chaîne... et que tu parles français haha
Ohhh, i thought my rollerblade was broken because the 2 wheels is not aligned properly
thats rael bruh !😂
and what is this for, i mean, mire speed, more stability i guess not. whats the point of 2 sizes.
Joseph Hi!
in this vid I've put a link to another video I made where I explain all of that :)
ua-cam.com/video/Z918t9sF_jg/v-deo.html
( it's mainly for freestyle skaters. smaller wheels on the front and back of the frames highly improve the skate's manoeuverability. and this is what you want when doing freestyle tricks, and Speed Slalom :)
I just got addicted to it and use it everyday even if I'm just skating around :) )
I kinda scared of the rocker setup, maybe need to try but seems to me that i will crush my fave againts something
I know the feeling. When I was advancing from a straight to a rockered setup, I was terrified of leaning too far forwards or backwards and fall. What I did was I did a half-rocker, meaning I made only the front wheels smaller. After a month or so, I got used to the feeling and I then replaced the rear wheels as well. It was a lot easier to transfer in comparison to going for a banana rocker cold turkey.
Name of background track?
Can i do 100-110-100?
étape 1: se faire pas piquer par abeille
Salut Tiago !

dont be such a tease about HOW fast mastering proper toe flicks and double push make you go. blebbing that tongue out all the time is gonne mess up the aerodyamics too! D_:
Amm i have little problem and i need some help, sooo i took my break off and now this thing (check picture please my english is crap xD) prntscr.com/fopkn7 is longer, so what should i do with it or where can i get new one ? Thanks :3
Archer you should go to your skateshop and ask for smaller bolts :) or check in there are some spare bolts in the box of your skates :)
Alright, thanks, btw 1 more question, smaller wheels are better for balancing and stopping then bigger ? Coz im thinking about gething idk maybee 72 mm instead of 80 mm because im going to break my leggs xD
If you had only 24 hours to live, and you had the opportunity to make out with Robert Downey Jr. would you make out with him?
What about 76 80 80 80 set up
how you skate like that
Practise, practise, practise. Wear protection and don't be afraid to fall.
C une guepe ça???
