A flexing base skate ( 100 ) includes an upper shoe portion ( 12 ) mounted on a base ( 14 ). The base includes a forefoot region ( 20 ) secured to a forward frame segment ( 26 ) carrying forward wheels ( 18 a , 18 b). A heel region of the base is secured to a rearward frame segment ( 28 ) that carries rearward wheels ( 18 c , 18 d). A second embodiment ( 100 ) provides a rigid full length frame ( 112 ) and a base ( 104 ) mounted at the forefoot region ( 106 ) to the frame. The base flexes at a metatarsal portion ( 108 ), and forms an integral spring biasing the base against the frame. The base includes a guide ( 118 ) for lateral alignment of the heel region with the frame. Another embodiment ( 210 ) provides a forward frame segment ( 226 ) carrying forward wheels ( 218 ) and a rearward frame segment ( 228 ) carrying rearward wheel ( 218 ).
