Well considering that most grinds involve your leading foots sole plate It's not that big of a concern. If you're tryna be a skiblader though and do frontsides and switchups antirockers will likely make things much much easier

You might just want to buy a freestyle frame because you can be a lot less accurate on any grinds like frontsides

you do need a freestyle frame but you don't need anti rocker wheels in, they just make it easier to ride over shit like curbs.

My best advice though is to get a skateboard.

Like most have said you don't really need them, I ride with them just because it simplifies things.

you can ride an anti rocker frame without the anti's in there it'll be fine. Only reason I can think to use them is cause it gives a bit more clearance on ledges, if you slightly miss a rail it might push you into the h-bloc, a
