If you don't have these yet you need to get them. Especially if you are used to skating flat. I have never skated anti rocker but now I get why people do. It is so much easier to do royal and farf tricks! Plus they slide way faster than GC's do. I had the featherlites flat before this and the kaltik are so much better/faster. I am skating 55mms now and will probably go to bigger wheels since I can. I always skated 55s because it was easier to do royal tricks. I will let you know how they are as far as durability.

from the pics I've seen, if you skated Featherlite's flat than you propably wouldn't have a problem skating 60mm flat in those :lol:

i have the gray ones set up with 58mm Eulogy J.C. Rowes, but I can't skate them for awhile. i haven't skated well with a flat setup since I rode K2 250ccs flat back in 2003-2004.

my friend Matt has the same setup, but the Swain frames, and he loves them. he skated the Slimlines flat (i don't know what wheels) and said the Kaltik frames are far and above the superior frames.

i'm super excited, but the waiting is fucking killing me.

kaltics are the only thing i would ride flat in anyway.
your wheels dont seem like they would catch at all.

ive had them for like 6 months and they hold up good, fast sliding and long lasting (Street and park). By far the best flat frame i have ever skated

How do they hold up? I wouldn't want to skate them on really rough concrete to not damage those wings... or whatever they are called... Is the groove getting deeper over time while remaining the "wings" or are they falling apart? I have seen people wear wholes in them... That was on rollernews though. It's highly likely the dude that posted these pics was doing it wrong...?

And yes, they are incredibly fast. I don't know how to describe it... They slide like butter on souls, too. Material seems to be ultra hard.

Can someone remind me of the wheelbases? Aggressive mall gives you the length, like that tells you anything!

I'm definitely getting these when I have the opportunity. Looks like the US shops only have smalls left. Let me send a 'kudos' to the designers/producers!
