Rick 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2007 The wheel spacing is so wide it looks more like a speed frame to me. Rick Henry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sprungster 5 Report post Posted May 4, 2007 can you say patent infringement?looks like a crappy sprungNot my patent!!! There isn't any kind of suspension involved in the them.It's a dual rocker, which is mostly like a Tuuk center rocker, front and rear, with tension on each rocker so it doesn't flop around. Looks like all four wheels, front two or back two. Three wheels? I don't see it. And never did.This patent was new when I came along in '96. No conflicts then or now. The OG drawings where much more roller hockey proportions. But you'd probably dump on your ass if there's too much rocker swing and a short wheelbase. You can definitely get on the front and rear, just like rigid rockering, which is better on front than in back. I tried to learn to inline skate with my new VSi's rockered front and rear!! :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheSnake22 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2007 sorry keith, i though maybe your patent included the dual suspension regardless of whether or not it has the spring in it... either way i don't think you have much to worry about, they're hideous... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
