Featherlite 4 GC Frame review

[@rollforever85]

That casual ttp though 🔥🔥

That’s why we buy them all lol. I love the ROCES but they a little heavy I’m riding the flt4 at the moment and my hd80 II I’m all Ground control right now.

I went and got the oysi mediums Because I wanted to start skating 4 down. I found your video hoping you’d hit those grinds with all the wheels. The oysi has very Little wheel bite, but it is there, I’ve had to recenter how I do my royale’s and Fahrvergnugens. I’m curious about the ground control wheel bite with four down set up

[@karlisbowman5607]

I think with my style of skating flat just doesn't work. In my opinion the wheel bite should be mild with the ground controls. The reason I only skated anti rocker was because the frame is tall. I like to be a close to the ground as possible so I didn't even waste my time skating them flat. Again its just a personal preference.

@@karlisbowman5607 I understand why you did it it’s just we can’t judge if they’re worth of buying or not because we can’t see what the wheel bite looks like on them. All of us are anti-rocker skaters. There wasn’t a choice to skate agressive flat until recently. We’re all just trying to find a flat frame that works good enough. I’m trying to suggest for someone who’s got the feather fours to go skate Street w down to see what the wheel bike really looks like.

@@nitemirror1 I skated flat from 95 till 2003, Then when I discovered anti rocker it changed my life. Don't think I will ever skate flat again lol. I have some friends that currently skate the GC 4s , it looks like they perform about as good as the USD Aeon again just a few millimeters higher.

@@karlisbowman5607 I think it would be helpful if you posted your friend’s skating the frames with all the wheels in so we can see how far an angle they have to get down to hit the royale that’s kind of what I’m saying. It doesn’t look like there’s enough protection on those wheel wells like for us to do Royals on ledges, but there are on oysi. I can’t believe you have been skating about as long as I have but didn’t know what anti-rocker was. were you able to do royales back then or any h- block tricks? My first pair of skates were Walmart skates that we removed the middle wheels from so I could do grinds in them. That was like standard practice in the 90s.

Do you know the maximum external size wheel i can fit on the kizer fluid 4 on razors shift?

[@karlisbowman5607]

probably 60mm with no modifications. Now there is a way to sand down the inner top of the skate and you can fit to 62mm, very simple if you have a Dremel tool.

[@mr.rodriguez5099]

@@karlisbowman5607 ok thank you! The razors shift has a groove on the soul plate to accomodate larger wheels so hopefully it should be fine with the 64mm

[@webstervalente3611]

What is better for skate parks and bolws? GC FLT4, kizer fluid 5 or Kaltik flat frames?

[@webstervalente3611]

To ride flat

[@karlisbowman5607]

in my opinion Kaltik isnt a great frame. I would say Kizer Fluid is the best choice

[@chinobean3555]

kinda abrupt ending

[@dudefatty2694]

if FLT4 vs Oysi mid you think what is good ?

[@karlisbowman5607]

oysi has a way bigger grindblock
