i used to use mooks frames but now ive changed to the ground control dual injection anti-rocker frames and damn are they good ,when they lock on to groove tricks they REALLY lock on especially for my backslides

i have tried all three and prefer freestyle just for the simple fact it allows me to better grind wider rails... chunkier ledges and all around just have a better slide for me in the way i skate... i`m in no way downing anti rocker or using all 4wheels in each spot... it all depends on things ya skate more often and just what feels good for ya

Anti and Freestyle are both good learning tools, but flat is the best. Besides the extra skill it takes to properly execute grinds with a flat rocker set up, it also makes the skate feel more solid when its rolling (sturdy, fast, mauverable). Anti and freestyle cant fuck with flat. If all a skater does is grind all day, they anti and freestyle are the best bet, but if a skater wants to explore the full potential of what a skate can do flat is the only answer.
