What are frames?
Last Updated: 09/16/2011
Frames hold skate components in place
Most recreational frames are made of aluminum alloy or nylon and fiberglass composites.
Make sure the frames you select are designed for the type of skating you plan to do
Metal frames are stiffer, faster, and lighter, but typically cost more.
