[aza5600]

i rly like roller wearhouse i just wish they would deliver to the u.k :(

[LIAMDABESTABLE]

After you have worn anti rockers for a while the start to move alot more, do you know how you can tighten it so it locks?

[RollingTV]

@LIAMDABESTABLE Tighten the axle. If you ever have any questions about product or skating in general, feel free to call us up at 1-800-772-2502 (8am to 6pm PST) and ask for me ( Hirt ) or Andy, and either of us would be glad to help you out.

[2000ADELMO]

can you change an anti rocker set up to flat liner or is there a difference in the frame?

[RollingTV]

@2000ADELMO You can, but different frames have different maximum wheels sizes for the inside and outside spots.

[justincerveny]

Where were the freestyle frames in '96!?! You know back when TBTV came out.

[DudeAreYouEffinMe]

Me haz a question, I have THAT blue Xsjado Mook frame, and Its my first time grinding with skates. Is it ok for me to use those or do i have to spend another 40-60 dollars for another one?

[barneyruckus1]

4-Down all day, every day! Yes, anti-rocker and freestyle are easier and better for grinding... But I think riding flat keeps some of the integrity of the sport, not to mention that it demands discipline in my grinding. If I'm not locked on just right... It lets me know it, which also ensures that I stay low and compact.

[bloodychan]

you dont need a grove imo :)

riding freestyle for years .. it just comes with time when you buy a new frame, the rest is balance!

[spencereng]

Flat is best for big gaps, transitions and vert, anti rocker is best for rails, and freestyle is best for ledges.

[missionarypro]

i already knew what the set ups meant and have skated all starting with the flats back in the day and i can tell you that for making all of the helpful videos i will go out of my way to purchase from your shop. there are so many new skaters out their buying without really knowing the style it skates

[bboyYin01]

thanks for the info i'm just getting started rollerblading lol

[tayarudi]

flat all the way! much smoother and faster

[barneyruckus1]

@tayarudi

You're forgetting that your wheels, bearings, frames and skates in general last longer too! :)

[rocknblues90]

big thanks man! great job!

[SweeeeTnD]

are remz standard frames food

[snowsquirrel311]

Higgs Boson antirockers for life!

[MrNick2D]

How would you rotate your wheels with an anti-rocker or freestyle setup?

[617ksa]

Great vid thanks for the info cause I am buy a pair of aggressive skate instead of my recreation skates cause they suck win I do tricks

[doodoostickstain]

i wonder...is it a viable option to buy anti-rocker setup to begin with, then simply remove the anti-rocker wheels when you feel comfortable and "convert" to freestyle? this way you save money until you wear your frame out enough to buy a proper freestyle frame. also, what is best for urban travel? like, a city with a ton of various obstacles to jump over, grind across, and get to where you're going without much getting in your way

[bbuttonzz]

Thanks for the tips, helped alot.

[morganhiver]

Back in the 90s we only had a flat setup with virtually no space between the two middle wheels. We were still able to hit ledges and handrails smoothly. I've never ridden anti-rockers but I don't imagine it'd be easy to ride down stairs with them. Sometimes you needed to bail out off of a ledge or rail and ride the stairs. I still prefer a flat setup.

[TeamSnowEaters]

ok im a total beginner looking to buy some anti-rocker skates. any suggestions as to what and where i should buy?

[kx100rider4]

please take this as a compliment but you are the carrot top of skating

[MrWeideMann2125]

Freestyle is the best I have anti rockers now and I liked the freedom of the freestyle oh and flat us just abt shit

[hardyboyz0125]

You didn't explain Tri-rocker. That's the one I'm confused out. I'm trying it right now, but i just want to know if there's any benefits of riding tri.

[BBBMXbbbmx]

what is the best for a beginer who wants to learn how to grind

[RollingTV]

@BBBMXbbbmx Either anti-rocker or freestyle would be best for learning how to grind. I'd probably start with an anti-rocker setup if I were you.

[AsianManFran]

@RollingTV I'm also a beginner and was wondering can you just put anti rocker wheels in a regular frame? I have the bladerunner fury aggressive skates and was wondering if I could just put anti rocker wheels into them or should i buy anti rocker frames?

[AsianManFran]

@AsianManFran Oh yea which would be the best anti rocker wheels to get?

[NickyDark17]

@AsianManFran It doesn't matter. I have Razor anti's on Rollerblades.. :D

[FritzDeGamer]

@RollingTV im going to get flats anyway, because in my country anti rockers are too hard to find.

I want to know if its possible to change frames. I know u can but do they fit in every skate?

[nboy55]

@RollingTV do you think the transitoin between no middle wheels at all to antirockers would be hard

[HardStyleGames]

@nboy55 nope, it's easier actually

[HardStyleGames]

@RollingTV why ? for the precision ? i also am a beginner and i dont know which one to choose

[laurencel6]

@RollingTV  can you put anti rocker wheel on a flat frame ??

[barneyruckus1]

@laurencel6

There is generally no difference between a "flat" frame and an "anti-rocker" frame, design wise. Some frames are designed to be used with a flat setup, but will still work very well with an anti-rocker setup. Examples would be, Kizer Slimline or the Kizer Element (which can actually be converted to any style). Of course freestyle frames can only be used as freestyle.

[deboesssssssssssssss]

i could've used video back in 07 wen i started blading (riding flat on dry ledges is not fun)

[RollingTV]

@deboesssssssssssssss I remember those days.. didn't take me long to decide that those middle had to go!

[grawlier]

freestyle is the best for me... I have ground control freestyles and slide like butter

[funyun000]

helpfull vid.

[avatar1fan]

personally i pick antirocker because it makes it easier to grind ledges without touching your wheel. also on rails they make you feel more steady

[SackOSuck]

Frames are frames...not a hell of a lot to em. (Freestyle is best COUGH)

[brianvelasquez]

I think they made this video in responce to me calling them last night and i actually talked to David lol.

[Vendoman500]
