There, you finally admitted it. Now doesn't it feel good to get that off your chest? It's O.K. Really. Dolly doesn't have HER own skates either. Console

What does the forward-shifted mount do for you outdoors? Does it provide better feedback?

It helps the front wheels get over pebbles and cracks better. It also helps you get a better push if you are speed skating.

when your front wheels are so far forward and your back wheels are under or infront of your heel most of yuor weight is on your beck wheels.... making it much easy to run rocks over an all that junk... i did 6 or so parades all a few miles long and not once did i get a rock to stop my wheels... i wasnt even on outdorr wheels just some cheapo package skate wheels i had laying around

Your length and mount look very much like my indoor setup.
