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?

They really aren’t needed for reasons similar to how it’s not needed on a road bike – the surface is pretty smooth overall, and by riding with your knees slightly bent, your body is more than capable of absorbing shocked from road irregularities.
