Slimlines Flat vs. regular frames flat

[Chinaski]

Anybody who has ridden both want to chime in with a review? I just tried skating flat in the first generation of ufs fifty/50 frames and it was amazing, except for front full torques.

I've never been able to torque my foot well enough for that trick and I just learned them with antirocker, but I decided to switch to flat for the ride and to be more legit.

Do the slimlines setup flat still roll as smoothly as normal frames flat or does the super wide groove make it less maneuverable like antirocker and freestyle?

Rolling around feels so much better but I don't want to lose tricks

This is a question for Al. I would like to know as well.


Can someone explain why kizer used those bolts that thread in the middle?
They can :arrow:

Where are you AL?

They rolled well for me but the frames have a touch of arch to them, from the material shrinking a bit in the mold I assume, so they turned/strided like antirocker for the first few days... which was actually ok for me as it basically eased me into the different handling, as I skated freestyle before.

I'm sure the huge split probably makes them handle a tiny bit more like anti/freestyle.... I have friends who are experienced flat skaters and they said the Hi-Lo's were like that... it's not a ton though. Like if flat handling is a 10 and anti/freestyle is a 1, the slimlines are probably an 8 or 9.

What's going on with the Xsjados situation?
