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?

Former hockey, and roller hockey player. High end rollerblades use two different size wheels. I used to have a pair of missions that had 80mm in the back and I believe 72-76mm in the front.
When you’re skating a high speed the chassis actually flex’s and levels out so you never actually feel the smalls difference. Id say the reason you never see spring shocks is not only because they’re too heavy but the physics of the chassis and wheels allow for the smooth transfer of energy. Let the record show that this really only exists in 500+ rollerblades.
