if the blocks will hold up for pressure it looks like it will be suck a sick frame!
October 3rd, 2007 at 11:36 am
already?? they just released featherlite for god sake!
October 3rd, 2007 at 11:57 am
GC’s first official freestyle frame, right? Looks interesting, even though I prefer anti.

Brilliant idea, jon elliot is such a legend.
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:33 pm
does anyone know the song from the end when the events are presented?
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:50 pm
great idea! i’ve waiting for that a long time…
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:54 pm
MY NEXT FRAME! :D

they look like they skate great but, i dunno, ussually when i have to change the h-block on my frames, the whole frame is already worn out so i just end up changing the whole frame.
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:17 pm
True, in the end, nobody actually buys replaceable H-blocks. Or at least very few people. None the less this looks like a decent multi-functional frame.
October 3rd, 2007 at 5:08 pm
Yeah, but you wont even be grinding on the frame at all, it’s all “H” block.
Seems like it could be heavy.
It will only be worth it if the “H” block is cheap.

to .Fx:
Technically it is ground controls second freestyle frame because of murdas gen 2 frames that came on the murda one skates
October 3rd, 2007 at 6:11 pm
Technically rollerblading is gay or as you like to call it “freestyle rolling” I just can’t wait till your sport dies
October 3rd, 2007 at 6:59 pm
What loser who doesn’t know about rollerblading comments on rollernews, You sound like a sore loser prolly couldn;t skate and quit, still looks and dreams
October 3rd, 2007 at 7:05 pm
Lol! you must be such a prick for taking the time to comment here.
If you hate inline.. STFU and go push some wood.
GC are quite heavy, and expensive.. but i’d like to try the freestyle setup.
the core seems to be weak for the moment…
October 3rd, 2007 at 7:12 pm
look tight
I want it for christmas
October 3rd, 2007 at 7:47 pm
Ooooh! Inline suck! Jumping 10 feet in the air and landing on bone-crushing rails is for faggots! Go check out my kicklip on a 3 stair dude! That’s way more hardcore but I didn’t land it because skateboarding is SOOOO HARD! Sk8boarder for life! Woohooo! Bam Marger is the best evah!!!! Wohoo.
Fuck you asshole………….
October 3rd, 2007 at 8:48 pm
Absolument rien a voir avec les kizer elements…
Mais qu’est ce que j’ai hate de les tester…
October 3rd, 2007 at 8:50 pm
can someone tell me the difference between anit-rocker and a freestyle frame?
October 3rd, 2007 at 10:37 pm
These look pretty cool. I might cop a pair after I wear out my featherlites.
The mooks are what you would call freestyle frame, without holes for a 2nd and 3rd wheel. Anti is just smaller wheels between the 2nd and 3rd wheel on a frame. Some people like to use frames without having the antis in and just call it a freestyle frame. Hope that helps.

AMAZING. Ground Control comes through as the leading frame maker, ONCE AGAIN.
I missed the h-block and that looks like an incredible and super functional h-block system; the concept of the interchangeable freestyle and anti frame is also super clever.
October 4th, 2007 at 10:24 pm
yeah seeing this i can more easely understand why does farmer and stockwell come to GC . the freestyle block looks like a lot to a Xsjado frame !!
October 5th, 2007 at 4:22 am
With some tweaks to fix the freestyle h-block, this could very well be my next frame. i love the idea of a flat/anti & freestyle frame in one. Kudos Jon.
PS - SLA = Stereolithography Apparatus. Don’t worry, i had to look it up on wikipedia too!
October 6th, 2007 at 8:40 pm
cool.
October 18th, 2007 at 4:40 pm
these look sweeet!! i skate xsjados and i hope these frames match up, exept they shouldent scrape on the ground like mooks.
October 21st, 2007 at 5:38 am
LMFAO at both stupid comments.
Those look pretty sick and those would technially be ground controls first freestyle frames. i dont think you were able to buy the ones from the murdas alone
