Youth Frames, April 19, 2020 By Anonymous (NY, NY)(Verified)
Nice frame, slides fast. I had only one problem. I wanted to make a new skate set up. I went into my skate stash and pulled out a brand new pair of Youth Frames. When I tighten the UFS bolts into my new skate, the frame snapped in half. I never had that happen to me, in my 20 years of skating.

I ordered Youth Airliner Frames for two reasons.
Price Point: The price weighed against Ground Control frames were a huge benefit to me, especially since what I really needed was a red frame.
The Names behind the Product: Chris Haffey, Chris Farmer, and Jon Julio are U.S. Industry legends. If they're willing to get behind the product, I'm willing to give it a shot.
Out of the box the packaging is great. I'm coming from skating exclusively Ground Control frames and I'm used to getting a nice little bag (which is cool, don't get me wrong) but the box design is simply and effective.
Out of the box the Youth Airliner frames are light weight and clean. The things look good. I threw some Large frames on Razors SL Korey Pros Size 8-9 Boot and they fit fine for my application. Threw some Wicked Abec 9s on some Eulogy Haffeys and hit up my friend's practice box.
The frames sit nice and low, so hitting the BS plate and getting nice low, consistent Royales and Torque/Farfs is simple. Topside tricks slide very well too, despite the rail being sticky due to the galvanized goo stuff being underneath the wax.
There's no rocker adjustment on these frames, but that's not a huge thing these days anyway. Wheel spacers are built in, which seems to be the industry standard now.
One thing I like that others may not, is that the construction FEELS less dense than Ground Control frames. But so far I haven't run into any problems.
Ask a question, get help, send feedback, whatever!
