Revolution Skate Shop: Thursday Night Skate

I figure by now everyone knows the guys from Nimh went to Phoenix, Arizona to hang out with James and Gretchen from Revolution. Now you get to see the Thursday Night Skate Session that went down while they were there. Seems like a lot of kids were rocking Nimh skates. If you want to check out the edit go HERE.

Phoenix Frames Update

If you remember a while back I made a post about a new frame company called “Phoenix” (if you don’t remember here are some pictures to jog the memory If you want to see the rest go HERE)

Well the guys over at Phoenix just sent me another Email giving me updates about the company. If you like you can read the report they sent me.

Hi,

At first I would like to apologize that the first frame has not not gone on sale for technical reasons, and especially I apologize to those who have made the preorder. The first frame concept be altered and probably put on manufacture, but a little bit later.

Now I wish to show you a standard frame from the company “Phoenix”.

About some features of a frame:

1. Frame is narrowed to the center that does royal groove more precisely holding rail or a parapet, and reduces a surface of sliding on soul slides, that reduces force of friction and increases speed.

2. Frame can be used in different setups, such as flat, or with antirockers, but many people rolling without internal wheels, in this case the frame reminds freestyle setup (Because the frame has the most height on external axes, and it decreases to the center. Under one bias up to royal groove and under another on royal groove, for the best control of a trick)

3. From inside royal groove is made with expansion from top to bottom, that should to prevent, become frequent in sphere of frames, breakages on the center.

4. Axes are deeply drowned in a frame.

5. The material for frames will be made on order (now it is developed).

6. The maximal sizes of wheels: external 60 mm, internal 58 mm. Axes 8 mm.

Frames will be tested after new year, and maybe will be change a little.

So it seems like people who were waiting on the initial frames may have to wait a bit longer. However, the big news is another frame and I must say I like the concept they sent me. Below are some pictures of the frames.

I would like to personally wish the creators of Phoenix frames the best of luck with their frames, and tell them that I would love to try their product.

Phoenix Frames

If you go by http://www.skaters.ru/ you will see pictures of a new frame concept. As the website is in Russian I didn’t pick up much information. What I do understand comes from a post on the Roller News Forums, which was posted by Oreo-fm, you can view to post HERE. Here is the information that is important (taken from the post).

“According to the founder, this frame something new in the industry роллерблейдинга. As it has been declared, in it there is a technology of amortization of the loading, surpassing all the presented analogues in the market. And all this in a combination to a new material (ПА 6, possesses high прочностными and эксплутационными properties, has low factor of friction in pair with any metals, and it in 6-7 times is easier some steel instead of which it is successfully applied).

Replaced parts:
1) a basis from a magnesian alloy
2) the central block
3) freestyle blocks
4) lateral parts

Separately about some parts:
The central block deep enough and wide, well holds on sides and a handrail.
Lateral parts are completely symmetric. Bolts are profound inside of frames and do not stir to slidings. Shock-absorbers are made by enough greater (more, than on fiziks or kizer), that provides comfortable driving.

In a complete set:
2 bases, 2 central blocks, 8 lateral parts, 8 axes 8мм, 4 axes 6мм, bolts for the central block, the plug, a strip for shock-absorbers, shock-absorbers.
The output of 3 color variants is expected: black, white and mixed black-and-white.
The declared retail price makes nearby 100 $”
