It doesn%26#039;t have to be aggressive skates but the skates that guys use to go real fast combined with trick skates (maybe excluding grinding). When I say trick skating I mean free skating.
Free skating: Riding around cities and towns with friends wile doing a series of tricks and finding the fastest root to get from point A to point B.
What kind of wheel set up should I have to combine free skating (or trick skating) with the speed of race skating? But not to fast, I need some control. Take a look at this wiki page about wheel set ups and tell m weather I should have it like one of these set ups or do you guys know of a better set up to combine speed with monouver tricks and maybe even a little slalom...ok maybe thats a bit much but hey, maybe not.

Just incase you wanted to know what slalom is:

How can I combine inline speed skates with trick skates?
I%26#039;ve just started practicing slalom over the summer. I bought a pair of the Rollerblade Twister II Pros:

I think these are probably the best skates to get right now in Canada for freeskating and a bit of slalom. The frame is too long for slalom unless your skate size is over 42-43. Other options would be some durable hockey skates. Recreational skates generally lack the side-to-side ankle support for the bit of jumping that you might do for freeskating.
Now as for the rockering, I find it hard to go full speed with a full rocker because it becomes unstable (which is perfect for slalom)

The site above gives all the different types of rocker. For freeskating I would probably go for a front rocker, so that the skates are more maneuverable but still stable.
It all depends on what you do more often.
I hope this helps.
