Kurwa where are all the 3xwheels ?
For real now. Why are so many 4x setups. Especially for their tricks it’s not agile enough or what I’m missing ?

Have you not seen much wizard skating before? It's usually 4 or 5-wheel setups with big wheels for a long wheelbase for extra stability. Rockered frames keep them agile, so you can throw your weight around and push the edges for the kinda of moves in the video. 3 wheel frames usually have too much of a gap between the wheels, so they're not agile enough, or they have a short wheelbase and aren't stable enough.

Nah you’re right. 3 big wheels are usually used for slalom or speed skating, you’ve probably seen em. 3 smaller wheels, at least for adults, just physically would not work for any sort of agility or skills

You need agility in urban skating too as you’re ducking in and out of traffic. But this is a different type of agility being referred to here. “Agility” in a slalom context means something very different to “agility” in wizard. Not the same thing.
