The Kizer Type M frame has always been one of Kizer’s most popular frames and continues to command many die hard fans. Already known as a strong, fast sliding and lightweight frame Kizer decided to analyze the frame deeper to make further improvements.
The 2011 Type M frame from Kizer includes an upgraded H-block, a design enhancement that allows the skater to bypass the need to make a groove after buying the frame and ensuring maximum comfort and stability on the grind right from the first day. In effect, the Type M frame from Kizer is now perfect right out of the box.
The Kizer Type M frame is ideal for all purpose freestyle skating. It eliminates any risk of sticking on wheels on the grind and is one of the strongest frames on the market. These elements enhance the skaters confidence at all times. One side of the frame offers elevated grind-walls for longer life and minimum friction, while the other side allows for more soul space and flat surface grinding. The H-block of the Type M frame is replaceable.
The Type M is light, simple yet intelligent, fast, pre-grooved, strong and easily customisable – What more could the demanding skater ask for?
During one our visit at The Conference headquarters we came across this ultra vintage stuff. Have you ever seen a clear Senate Fishes frame? More Pictures.
Here’s me having fun. This is the concept drawing for our new aggro frame, which will be licensed.
As you can see, a lighter weight version of this with mods for specific use and hockey mounting, will make a great goalie skate.
This is also the first commercial look at unequal rocker arm / wheel pairing. The Fiziks frames that we did with Skatepile a while back, were on nine of the ten finalists in the XGames, and ruled the world for years under Eito and Takeshi Yasutoko. [...]

I got the kaltik flat frame about two weeks ago and have skated it only a handful of times. The frame is one of my favorite to date.
The last flat frame I skated was the element and I hated it. I’ve skate anti since the 90s and i can count on my hands the number of times i tried flat.
The frame is really well designed its thick where it needs to be and thin where it can be. They did all the could do to keep the weight down with out sacrificing the durability of the frame.
Everyone has been talking about the groove so i’ll give some insight into that. its not high like some may think its a standard height, it looks tall due to the wheel wells. people keep saying the its going to wear down into the wheels an there right but it truly doesn’t effect any thing the wheels still roll fine.
On ledges you still catch form time to time but on rails they lock perfect and you don’t get any hang up. now the only problem i have with the frame is it comes in two sizes and the wheel base for the small is to small for any other boots bigger then a 6-7 besides maybe carbons. but overall the frame is great it slide pretty good not the fastest but defiantly not slow.
