Now I will explain my doubt and approach: I love the classic style of this boot!! :)īut there is a problem and it is a size EU 45 - UK 10.5, while my foot measures EU 44 - 44.5 = US 10.5 = 286 mm or 28.6 cm and 10.6 cm wide.įor the seller and based on his experience, this skate model fits large, compared to its current EU 45 - UK 10 model, and therefore very big for my feet.
SEBA IGOR PRO MODEL PRO
see above).I am thinking of buying some Seba Igor Pro Model 2011 which are in excellent condition with only two minimal scratches. Seba sells a freestyle skate with an arched frame (the Igor Pro. That said, a few companies do make rockered skates. But these days that’s usually not an option, so rockering requires installing different sized wheels. It used to be that many skates could easily be rockered by flipping frame bolts or adjusting plastic inserts.
All the wheels are either the same size or, if not, positioned on the frame so that they are all flat with the ground. Most of the inline skates produced by the big companies - Rollerblade, K2, etc. This is the anti-rocker configuration … and it comes standard on aggressive skates. That way they can jump onto their grind plates (between your second and third wheels) without their wheels getting in the way. So instead of big wheels in the center of their frames, they want little wheels. 3) Anti-rockerĪggressive (street/vert) skater have a different focus: they want to grind. And wear your protective gear, including crash pads if you need them. Much of the time, you’ll only have two wheels on the ground.
SEBA IGOR PRO MODEL FULL
It’s also the configuration favored by artistic and hockey skaters.Ī full rocker setup can feel unstable at first. This configuration makes possible the incredible weaving and turns of freestyle skaters. So, if you use 76mm wheels, put 72mm wheels on the front and back of your frames. To do this, replace both the front and back wheels with ones that are 4mm smaller.

Rockering is helpful whenever your need for maneuverability is greater than your need for speed.
That said, a good drill for toe-pushers is skating with a small wheel - or no wheel at all - in the front of your skate.īut if you do other kinds of skating - freestyle slalom, hockey, artistic or aggressive - than rockering is for you.
You need as much urethane on the road as possible to get a good push. If you are a speed skater - and a speed skater only - than you don’t need to rocker. It’s not really a question of who should rocker, it’s a question of when to rocker. On the other hand, if you sit on the floor with your feet raised, it’s easy to spin because you only have your bottom touching the floor. This is because you have lots of drag from the various parts of your body - head, torso, limbs. Think of it like this: If you are lying flat on a wood floor, it is difficult to spin around. When the middle wheels are closer to the ground, you can turn more easily because you have less urethane resisting your change of direction. Simply that they adjust their skates so that some of the wheels - usually the ones in the middle - are closer to the ground. Before they roll, they “rocker” their skates.
