Why Freestyle Inline Skating Is Exploding in Popularity
Freestyle inline skating has evolved from a niche sport into a global movement — and it’s easy to understand why. Skaters love the freedom of carving through plazas, weaving cone slalom patterns, and practicing smooth footwork combos. From Paris to Berlin to Barcelona, urban skating communities are growing rapidly. Inline skates today are not just recreational equipment; they are tools for fitness, creativity, and personal expression.
Choosing the right skate is critical — especially if you want to learn freestyle, slalom, and advanced footwork techniques. Poor ankle support, weak frames, and low-grade bearings can hold skaters back and even cause injury. This is where the Roadshow RX5 stands out.
Introducing Roadshow RX5 — Built for Precision Freestyle Performance
The Roadshow RX5 is designed for skaters who demand responsiveness, controlled edge transitions, and powerful jumps. Engineered for freestyle and slalom movements, RX5 prioritizes performance and durability without sacrificing comfort. From its CNC aluminum frame to its ABEC-7 bearing system, every detail reflects performance-driven engineering.
- Unmatched stability thanks to a rigid CNC aluminum frame
- Superior foot and ankle support with a secure three-point buckle system
- Effortless acceleration & smooth glide using ABEC-7 precision bearings
- Ventilated boot shell that stays cool even in long freestyle sessions
- 85A high-rebound wheels ideal for flat setups and technical footwork
If your current skates limit your balance, edge control, jump stability, or cone accuracy, upgrading to the RX5 will completely transform your skating experience.
Key Features
1. Full 3D Ventilation Design
Unlike recreational inline skates, the RX5 shell includes multi-directional ventilation channels to eliminate heat buildup and maintain airflow. This prevents discomfort during long training sessions, especially during freestyle sessions where heat and sweat accumulate quickly.
2. CNC Aluminum Alloy Frame
The frame is a one-piece forged CNC aluminum block — not stamped or welded. This results in:
- Zero flex and zero deformation
- Better energy transfer from ankle to wheels
- Stronger stability during jumps and landings
- Higher accuracy when executing slalom edge work
3. Double Safety Buckle System
The secure boot structure includes:
- Micro-adjustable ratchet buckle (upper support)
- 45° powerstrap (heel lock)
- Traditional laces (precision fit)
The triple system ensures a locked-in fit while giving skaters full control of movement.
4. ABEC-7 Precision Bearings
The RX5 uses ABEC-7 bearings for smoother rolling and effortless speed maintenance. Whether weaving slalom cones or cruising through the city, the glide efficiency is instantly noticeable.
5. 85A High-Rebound PU Wheels (Flat Setup)
85A hardness ensures durability, rebound, and control on smooth urban surfaces — the ideal profile for freestyle movement.

Performance Review — How the RX5 Rides
Stability During Jumps
The rigid CNC frame and ankle support system create a locked-in feel. Landings are stable, even for beginners learning bunny hops or advanced skaters practicing toe-wheel tricks.
Responsiveness in Slalom
The RX5 responds to micro-adjustments of the ankle, allowing smooth transitions between inside and outside edges. Weight transfer feels natural, boosting cone accuracy.
Comfort During Long Sessions
The 3D ventilation system prevents overheating, meaning skaters can train longer without discomfort.
Training Drills to Master Freestyle & Slalom
Beginner Drill — Forward Cone Weave
- Place cones 60 cm apart.
- Shift weight from one skate edge to the other.
- Focus on posture, not speed.
Intermediate Drill — Toe Lean Balance

- Hold for five seconds and switch sides.
Advanced Drill — Jump Over Cones
Use RX5 rigidity to generate upward force and land cleanly.
