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.

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

They should be pretty fast, due to lack of contact area. Good thing the axles wont touch any ledge again!

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.

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???

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.

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

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

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.

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…
