Ground Control Team DVD

Thursday, December 8th, 2011

We just received the new Ground Control Team DVD and we’re about to leave the shop right now to watch it at JH’s house. I’m excited to see it but I think Dre can barely even wait as he already left to get a few games of Battlefield 3 in before we all get there to view the video. Hopefully he is preparing food and drinks as I type…

UPDATE AFTER WATCHING: THE VIDEO WAS AWESOME, INCREDIBLE SECTIONS, YOU DEFINITELY WANT TO PICK UP A COPY OF THIS DVD!

Ground Control F1 XS Frame Review

Tuesday, October 11th, 2011

This is a quick review of the new Ground Control F1 XS frames which I’ve had the opportunity to skate on a regular basis. I skated the GC Formula 1 frames before these and that is why I had to try out the F1 XS frames.

First off the main difference between the frames is that GC significantly increased the groove width (XS stands for extra-wide split). The original Formula’s have a 4″ width between the two middle axle bolts whereas the new F1 XS’ have a 4-9/16″ width which is over a half inch increase. This increased the amount of material that was put into the groove area so it also increased the weight of the F1 XS frame by 2 oz (On a size 2) but I did not notice a difference on my skates.

My main concern was the functionality of the increased groove size which you can see in the pictures below (Click pics to enlarge):

I was a little worried that I might not like the wider groove but after quickly getting used to it, I believe that it has actually helped to improve my skating. I feel that I am just as locked in on grinds but that the wider groove allows me to need a little less precision when I first jump on a grind. The greatest benefit that I’ve noticed with the wider groove is that when grinding a ledge it is easier for me to stay on top of it on groove tricks and therefore grind farther with more control. This has been especially true on the beveled ledges (the ones with the corner cut off) which is nice because it seems like I’ve been skating more of those lately.

The other benefits to the F1 XS frames (which also applied to the Formula 1’s) is that they feel nice and solid on my skates, they slide well and they have a nice and long life span unless your out grinding McGritty ledges from dawn till dusk. When compared to the GC Featherlite frames, I always seem to favor the Formula frames and feel they are definitely worth the extra money for the reasons I just mentioned.

Overall thoughts on the Ground Control F1 XS frames:

The frames slide really well.

They feel nice and solid on my skates.

The wider groove has helped to improve my grinds, especially on ledges.

I believe that GC did in fact improve on their Formula frame design and that the F1 XS is not just marketing BS.

I would recommend the frames to others.

The only negative thing to mention is that I wish they were available in more colors.

Monday, June 1st, 2009

With over a year in the making, this special edition TV2 dubbed the “Cool Snake skate” is the third collaboration project brought to you by The Valo Brand and Aggressivemall. When it came time to produce our 3rd skate we wanted to do something that was leaps and bounds over our previous projects. In order to do this we sought out Ground Control and Eulogy to be included in on this endeavor - both of whom are also in leagues of their own when it comes to their products.

Add the 4 companies together (Valo, Amall, Ground Control, Eulogy) included with years of superior quality design, superb production quality, and the best teams in the world to back it all up and you get an amazing one of a kind product. I think that you will agree that we have risen to the occasion and out done ourselves once again.

Pre-Order your set now for only $299.00 COMPLETE! HERE.NOW.
