I skate one of them on my xsajdo 09 and i like them very well. I can not skate rockering cause i am quite heavy and here are the condition for skating really hard, specially old devastated concrete. While skating rockering after five sessions i am no able use my wheels anymore, so i had to skate flat. With this frame you’ve got huge H-block and can skate all 4 wheel.

Pretty ballsy saying Kizer stole their suspension frames…They are actually licensed through an agreement to the patent rights…The suspensions kick ass and whop ground control…at least they did in the Kill or die trying comp…If I worked for ground control and I may in the future because that is how business works – I would be pissed to have you as a rep…badmouthing the competition?!? Learn business friend.

to Roberts…. Atleast I kept my argument to my opinion about the products. Name calling is easy, you pussy little mamma’s boy. (see that was easy). I think people get way too offended when other people don’t love the same things they do. To be honest, if I didn’t skate GC, I would skate Kizer for sure. That is why I said they were #2 instead of saying that they are garbage. I will admit that you are right about ALL companies stealing ideas from eachother. But how can you say it is ridiculous for me to bring up pro teams? It is a fact that GC has almost all the big name talent in our industry. And it is probly going to stay that way .Sorry. These frames do look ok, but if you think that everyone that rides GC is going to switch, then you need rehab. And as for groove size, who do you think made the first flat frames with a BIG groove? OH YEAH, you know it. Besides, if you put anti’s into a GC frame, it gives you incredible space. And as for wheel size, what the hell do you ride a 70mm or something? I have never had a problem using whatever wheels I want in GC. But then again, I use NORMAL SIZED WHEELS. If you need more than what GC provides, than you should probly skate FREESTYLE. I noticed that you didn’t mention how I said that Kizer concentrates on bells& whistles. You know it’s true don’t you? Like those ELEMENTS. What the hell does all that metal crap do to help you skate? Nothing, it just looks neato. I’ve tried them, and I skated WORSE. You can like your brand, and I can like mine. But atleast have a thought out argument before you start flinging poo like a monkey.
Who is the usual hater now?

oh,good choice, i got senates 54mm flats, not bad for me. what did they feel like though(slimlines)? what was different about them?

Maybe a bigger wheels flat on the slimlines would have felt normal. oh well i may not get these then.

to Danielson of the Hotfire Crew.

Have you ever skated Slimlines??? And it is ridiculous you say they steal other brand ideas! :D:D Then you got to face the fact every frame company stole idea from the first frame ever made! o_0 Every next frame is somehow better and you should be thankful for that because we, rollerbladers, get what we want – better frames.
New Slimlines are just few weeks for sale and you must be dumb to compare PRO teams at this moment! If we talk about Slimlines, there is NO doubt many GC users will change their frames to Slimlines. ;) Slimlines have much wider groove than any other NON freestyle frame and you can skate much bigger diameter wheels in Slimlines if you compare GC.

Face the fact – you are nothing more than usual HATER

FLT die way too fast. The F1 is heavy and the four wheel ones don’t feel right.
The slimline is WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY too expensive. Able just suck. The mook is a freestyle frame, all freestyle frames suck outside of the skatepark. 50/50 have the smallest h-block known to man.

That only leaves me with the fluid frames.

Kizer has to face the facts. Aslong as GC is around, they will always be second best.(or 3rd if you skate freestyle, because of the MOOK) The only good original idea that they have ever had was the suspensions. But in my opinion, the suspension are stupid anyways. GC comes out with simple, well thought out frames, that work great. Kizer either steals other people’s idea’s, or comes up with overcomplicated bell & whistle frames. If you need proof of which is better, just look at their pro teams, It’s not even fair how many great skaters are on GC.
And btw, does anybody skate Able’s or 50-50′s anymore? I like having a few options of what I can use for frames, but I never see people buying these brands anymore. I’m surprised that they are still around, because they can’t be making much money.

JJ, i feel good you said that, i was considering getting these in a couple of months, i too ride flat on Fluids and FLTs. By the way what wheel size were you using n these frames?

By: JJ

JJ — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 16:47:13 +0000

I skated the slimlines for a while and i fucking hate them.
I skate flat and it totally ruins the flat feeling, must admit it is bloody fast but nonetheless i hated it, back to GC for me.

nice review! I share those thoughts about GC and fluids. So this is somewhat convincing to me. I like the looks a lot too. Those will be my next frames, thnx!

I cannot wait to get these! I’ve skated kizers for years now and loved every single pair. These look amazing! Although I’m not too thrilled about the price but whatever…

too much space between 1st n 2nd wheel, common it cant be that hard to make an proper flat frame….
