Ground Control Frames are, in my opinion, heavy dynamite (the best frames ever made).

First made in the form of the classic Ground Controls, then in the form of the Ground Control Twos. When the Ground Control Three frame hit the market it was a whole new type of frame. The H-block on these babies is MASSIVE compared to other frames and they have built in anti-rockers.

The anti-rockers are made of the same material as the frame itself and when you skate a ledge and your rockers hit it, you keep on sliding! The most recent frame to join the Ground Control family is the 'Bullet' frame. The H-block is massive, with a fully replaceable middle section, so you don't have to replace you frame every four months.

If you want a light weight frame with no restrictions to the tricks you can learn, then these are the frames for you. Although they are 50 squid they are well worth the money.
