Cheap Kizer Fluid imitation.

right after those break you should buy 50/50 cores, may not be the lightest frame ever but it doesnt slow you down

I agree : it’s my first ipinion seeing these ! but how can you say it’s cheap ?
I think frame brands should make huge grooves like element frames for people who wants to get back to flat configuration.

KIZER FLUIDS FTW
July 13th, 2007 at 10:19 am
those frames look bad ass!! might have to get some of them!
July 13th, 2007 at 10:24 am
A newly-released frame for $45? WTF?! Too good to be true. But then again kizer fluid frames are just $49 but why are these cheaper than the Dual Injections. Dual Injections cost $69……..wait a minute………….WTF?! Dual Injections cost $69?
BTW hoax34 you should try reading the article instead of scrolling down into the comments section right away. It’ll save loads of embarassment and add tons of points into your IQ, trust me.

are fluids that thick? look at them, you’ll never wear that down… i like how these have thick plastic where it actually counts… they look like they’d work quite good for $45. look better and different than plain fluids. maybe they’re cheaper because there are no replaceable parts. thats the only bad thing i can see.
July 13th, 2007 at 11:55 am
Finally GC pro models!
July 13th, 2007 at 12:04 pm
Finally the right direction! Frames have to be simple & durable… just one piece!
July 13th, 2007 at 12:55 pm
first chaffeys pro frame
July 13th, 2007 at 12:56 pm
Silverballer, it doesn’t say a date anywhere in the article. It may well say available, which I saw when I read the thing the first time but I want an exact date. If you can’t give that to me then get down off your soap box and shut the fuck up.
July 13th, 2007 at 1:42 pm
looks like Kiizer Fluids!!!!
July 13th, 2007 at 1:42 pm
silverballer your a smart ass, how bout you read the article before making dumbass comments. it may well say available but thats to do with the types of frames you can get. dickwad.
July 13th, 2007 at 1:46 pm
LOL. Every comment you make just deducts more and more from your projected intelligence. Maybe if you used that thing people call a “brain” you would’ve found out that the featherlites are released NOW. Get them at revolutionskate.com.

Hey, it doesn’t take a genius to use proper spelling, punctuation, and grammar. Practice those and pay attention to English class then I’ll give your statements more consideration.
July 13th, 2007 at 2:32 pm
I never claimed to be a fucking genius. It’s a shame with every post you make you sound more and more like a dick. They’re not out here in the UK yet. Nothing has been said about them and there’s no chance I’m paying delivery from America. There’s no need to be such a prick about this!
July 13th, 2007 at 3:56 pm
silverballer can read my name and do exactly what it says :)
July 13th, 2007 at 6:08 pm
No sir,I don’t like it. All I want is a new and improved hi lo frame those were da best until you’re groove gets 2 big and they crack, I hope someone frome gc reads this all they need 2 do is fill out da hallow part up @ the top of the frame,and y is evrybody concerned bout the weight of the frames now ,like if it makes that much of a diff, juss gimme a frame da won’t crack right when I got a killer ass groove lockin all my triks,until GC does that I will continue 2 rock my rachard freestyle frames.
July 13th, 2007 at 6:10 pm
I can’t see the endless grinding part on the frame….
July 13th, 2007 at 6:43 pm
im deff going to get some of the haffey ones they look sick as all hell!!
July 13th, 2007 at 6:53 pm
this was the frame the GC claimed to be revolutionary? gimme a break GC. they just look like frames made with old-school grind plate material. lick my ass GC.
July 13th, 2007 at 6:55 pm
and hopefully they’ll be using metal spacers instead of plastic. that’d be so much better.
July 13th, 2007 at 8:23 pm
looks like kizer team !
GC is a poor imitation of kizer…
July 13th, 2007 at 11:08 pm

I like my dual injects quite fine, and i agree with the homie about filling the h-block, you should be able to have the perfect groove without it cracking or splitting, that goes for any frame too, fill the h-block, so you can atleast get your money’s worth plus more…
July 14th, 2007 at 12:24 am
at least theyre ugly
July 14th, 2007 at 12:24 am
chill down haters, what if the gc-teamriders wanted to skate a classic, one-piece-molded frame? shouldn’t they be allowed to do that? btw the frames dont look like fluids but like salomon stock frames
July 14th, 2007 at 12:38 am
well if they do have endless grind walls and oversized axles thats good cause after a month of skating with dual injections or bullet 8 the screws start to scrape against ledges and slow u down but the good thing about it is u go nice and fast on rails…hopefully there nice on gaps and dont snap that easy like dual injections or bullet 8s
July 14th, 2007 at 2:00 am
i hopwe there light ass cheessse & let me tell u cheesse is pretty damn light lmfao !
July 14th, 2007 at 2:17 am
thye dont look like fluids at all, i dont understand the people who are saying that.
visually, they kind of look like a downgrade from the bullets and DI frames, they probably skate great tho, but i wish they would have made them a bit mroe fancy looking.
July 14th, 2007 at 2:58 am
Dont judge a book by its cover…
I would diss on this frame until you actually skate it ya know?
I mean how could you guys talk crap bout it if you havent even skated it yet???
July 14th, 2007 at 3:06 am
they dont look like fluids, nor do they look like any other frame. i dont know why people are calling them that. anyway, they look like they d do well on cinrete, but on rails theyll probably stick.
July 14th, 2007 at 5:04 am
They should be pretty fast, due to lack of contact area. Good thing the axles wont touch any ledge again!
July 14th, 2007 at 4:25 pm
haha they look like a toy
July 14th, 2007 at 9:16 pm
Are they still gonna make dual injections?
July 14th, 2007 at 11:53 pm
is there an inside and outside or are these ones really semetrical in all the different directions? also i hope they use metal axle spacers instead of the old plastic ones
July 15th, 2007 at 4:22 am
horn is the fucking shit!!!!!!!!!
awwwww damn rat tail did it again
why do haters come on here, go and start a fight elsewhere…….fags
July 15th, 2007 at 3:48 pm
talk less!! skate more… beauty isn’t shit…LESS CONTACT AREA ON THE GRINDS this means less friction, what better than this?! lighter, slides FASTER, least longe and is cheapier than the others.. ITS AN EVOLUTION…than fuck yall haters FOR ME THIS SOUNDS GREAT, NICE JOB
July 16th, 2007 at 6:14 am
These frames suffer from the same flaw as all other GC frames…there’s no internal reinforcement. You can squeeze the frames in your hand. That means if you overtighten them, your wheels won’t roll as smoothly. Not to mention that GC took an already flimsy frame and scooped even more material out of it.
If they were smart, they’d make the side walls thicker, then recess the axles even more, so that only the frame would ever make contact. If my axles are getting scratched, it means that they are scraping against whatever I grind, thereby slowing me down. That’s how you make frames faster. Everyone has some scratched up axles. I don’t know why companies havent figured that out yet.
The weight of a frame is insignificant. If you can’t grind a waist-high ledge/rail while riding a pair of flat ables, then you just plain suck at rolling.
