20250360396 · 2025-11-27 ·

An inline skate frame may comprise a frame body. A plurality of rocker arms may be rotatably attached to the frame body. The rocker arms may be configured to support wheels. A plurality of biasing members may be positionable between opposing rocker arms. A plurality of stop pins may be selectively insertable through the frame body and biasing members. The frame may be configurable between multiple configurations. In a first suspension configuration, the stop pins may be inserted to independently bias each rocker arm against the frame body. In a second suspension configuration, the stop pins may be removed to bias opposing rocker arms against each other. In a no-suspension configuration, the biasing members may be replaced with non-elastomeric plugs. The rocker arms may be rotatably attached to the frame body by pivot axles. The biasing members may comprise elastomeric springs. The elastomeric springs may have a hole or hollow tube running lengthwise through their center. The frame body and rocker arms may be configured to use reversible hardware. The frame may comprise four rocker arms. The four rocker arms may comprise two pairs of identical rocker arms for supporting wheels of different diameters. Upward and downward rotation of the rocker arms may be limited by stops on the rocker arms and within the frame body. The frame may be configurable with different suspension configurations for different pairs of rocker arms within the same frame.
