I was thinking about this the other day…skateboards are flexible, bike tires are bouncy. Why aren’t there “performance” skates with shocks? Wouldn’t that be better for your knees?

I inline skate and I feel like my energy transfer would be very hard to judge if I had spring in my jump. I can lock a 3cm right angle on a rail or a ledge 9/10 times. I account for how high the rail is and how high I need to jump. Adding springs just means I have to judge the height of the rail, my jump and whatever extra the springs give me.
I’m currently recovering from that 1/10 times I don’t land on the rail properly hahaha. There are companies that make exactly what you are talking about though.
