"Anti-rocker" refers to the inverse size of the 2nd and 3rd wheels compared to the 1st and 4th; whereas a "rockered" wheel setup consists of smaller wheels in the 1st and 4th positions to simulate the curvature of an ice-skate blade. Riding without center wheels is known as a "Freestyle" setup, and offers the maximum potential space to grind.
The terminology is carried over from ice skate blades, which have edges. In inline skating, being "on an inside edge" refers to skating with the wheel of the skate leaning inwards (i.e. medially: right skate leaning left, and vice versa).

The cantilever, also called layback spread eagle, is a figure skating element. Similar to the spread eagle, the skater travels along a deep edge. With knees bent, the skater bends their back backwards, parallel to the ice. It was invented by Werner Groebli, better known as "Mr. Frick", a long-time show skater with Ice Follies.
