What is the advantage of having larger wheels in the back?

Does anybody know of any custom skate manufacturer?

Also, looking for a new pair of skates and would appreciate any thoughts/opinions/suggestions. The best way to describe how I skate is fast and rarely in a straight line. Kind of like an aggressive figure skater :confused: The K2 Radicals look cool but I'm unsure whether the low boot would give me enough support cutting fast turns/figures. The shorter the frame the better for maneuverability. Thanks all.

The larger wheels in the back give you the speed of a larger wheel and the smaller wheels aid in maneuverabilty. May fit perfect for you style of skating. Helps keep you in a forward motion, but when upright you get the benefit of the larger wheel. The HiLo setup started with hockey skate and now have been with fitness skates a couple hears. You'll see 90/84, 100/90 and even 110/100 skates.

Thanks for the post.
