Aggressive Frames
The chassis of an aggressive skate, called the frame, connects to the bottom of the skate. Skaters grind on the frames, which are designed for this purpose.
There are several different variations on frame design. Originally a skate had four wheels on each skate, with a gap between the middle wheel where a plastic insert called an h-block was used for grinding. Each wheel was the same size; all wheels touched the ground and rolled. This is referred to as flat. As the sport evolved, skate companies started manufacturing wheels that were intentionally undersized, in order to facilitate grinding. The undersized wheels are called anti-rockers. Since some skaters skate with only two wheels on each skate, some frames are designed to match this (a variant called a freestyle frame).
In the late 1990s, the Universal Frame System (UFS) was introduced by frame manufacturers to allow the user to easily customise their skates. This led to increased customisation of a skates within the sport by allowing the user interchangeability between different company's frames. Today all major frame and skate manufacturers support UFS.
