These anti-rivets were a small hex vs the phillips head we ended up shipping with. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1515605685459-4TNNIH2ZNWB3IN03KFJK/history4.jpg Original 50/50 Frames The original prototypes were designed to fit the Roces majestic 12. The frame would be standard but the base plates could change to accommodate different boots. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518878530366-6ILO2M6UKLHF8T5KFQ2P/25299951_752097358314431_5193823007472351555_o.jpg Original 50/50 Frames Jon Julio was the first person to skate the frames, here at the Realm ramp down in Costa Mesa. These were the original baseplates, before the Juice System rear baseplate was introduced.

They were much wider and angled out to help lock onto grinds. The name Juice came from Jon Julio saying “I’m feeling the juice” after trying them on ledges.

It ran in Daily Bread issue 20, which hit in January of 1998. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518890499934-IQNKWP20QSO14SEY6HSS/25348709_753405001517000_2738197925654506577_n.jpg Original 50/50 Frames The frames that first hit the market were machined out of solid blocks of UHMW in California. They were made in white and grey. The UHMW proved to be too soft for skating (the axel holes would stretch out after multiple gaps) so only a few hundred were made.

They were poured in California, available only in “medium” size, and were solid black with UHMW baseplates. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518890729115-463YKMXLI3TENTW1JUPM/25438907_755962907927876_6610796550735159007_o.jpg Molded 50/50 Frames After testing for a few weeks we knew the moulded frames were going to be good. Jon Julio was featured in the first ad highlighting the technical benefits of the frame and the Juice System. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518890768204-MVY7EQSE4GF9HZFX8VT4/25487583_755962911261209_413371603131771860_o.jpg Molded 50/50 Frames Interestingly, the ad for the international market focused more on the skating. This might also be the first time "Feeling the Juice" was used. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518890795723-V127MKUAASFJBVTQ2PW6/25488092_756412357882931_9138744187980622051_o.jpg Molded 50/50 Frames This shot of Jon Julio was taken a few months after the original 50/50 frame ad and features a black juice system with his pro model grindplate. This was very close to what his USD Throne ended up as. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518896795067-X7NR63QHCV3L9UQK3Y64/25498147_756412347882932_9195914781646195748_n.jpg Molded 50/50 Frames The first pro model skate with 50/50 frames was the Jon Julio USD Throne, shown here in 1998. The final production looked a bit different, and it was only available in the US thanks to Scott Walker, but it was an incredible skate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518896840330-KOMG9S02UVZ1GCHAS1RQ/25586838_756788007845366_1652234883492905804_o.jpg Molded 50/50 Frames In 1999 we moved the frame molds to China to get better pricing and faster production. The first run had silver paint in the logo and a hang tag with Jon Julio and Josh Petty. If you have a pair of frames without paint, they were made in the USA! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518896881509-LTF8JU34I74JXBOSWQL1/25588107_756788011178699_4479575935017681476_o.jpg Molded 50/50 Frames The inside of the hang tag explained some of the features of the 50/50 frame. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518896914928-Z2J9EB3HINEQGB2HYNSQ/25587746_756788041178696_6231112594351850842_o.jpg Molded 50/50 Frames The outside of the hang tag had pictures of Jon Julio and Joshua Petty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518896951078-MVQF409QKAJEX9I76ADO/25551892_756788004512033_2946844054905019249_n.jpg Molded 50/50 Frames This is what the frame packaging looked like fully flattened. The box was designed in Huntington Beach, we provided the artwork. The skater in the silouette is Champion Baumstimler. (pro tip: If you lined up multiple boxes on a shelf, the FIFTY50 and the red stripes would match up) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518896986386-9B0NZONNGXU4A9HUAO8Y/25586826_756788031178697_8167907427477031478_o.jpg Molded 50/50 Frames Frames, baseplates and axles were sold aftermarket as a replacement or for customization. We sold the baseplates in sets of two rather than sets of four, assuming people would wear down the soul on one side faster than the other. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518897016198-D4AWHRSFOGD8J8MIRSC0/25587958_757220224468811_1497850425214305823_o.jpg Molded 50/50 Frames Jon Elliott was the first rider to test the 50/50 Razors adapter plates and provided a ton of feedback on how they could be improved.

It was really thin, maybe 4mm at the most, which was enough to hold the frames securely. https://5050frames.com/contact daily 0.75 2018-03-19 https://5050frames.com/ufs-frames-1 daily 0.75 2018-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518901688926-QSJ2GRNQF5KV04QFYY0U/26023826_759262967597870_652918142184147411_o.png UFS Frames In late 1999, 50/50 along with Salomon, Razors, USD and other companies started discussing the idea for UFS. We were all tasked to come up with a mounting standard by ourselves, then we were to meet and share our designs. Our design was based off the existing 50/50 frames but with two protruding mounts to allow for easier mounting to the boots. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518908991672-6SB72PX9U5XTEQV5PBT6/26171084_759635907560576_8113359632552493087_o.png UFS Frames The first drawings for the 50/50 UFS frames were submitted to our manufacturer in November of 2000. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518909014467-W0489C07VFCW61IODXJP/26171645_759637274227106_4816454169395972274_o.jpg UFS Frames While waiting for the first UFS prototypes, we created a 3D rendered frame ad with the drawings in January 2001. This ad was never released, nor was the racing stripe or debossed logo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518909041313-YU8ZP5OE4XEZ7YJ077QZ/26172431_759638187560348_6170813608161889234_o.jpg UFS Frames This Dominic Sagona 50/50 ad was the first public image of what the UFS frame was going to look like. Even though it was just a drawing, we wanted to show that we were 100% behind the UFS project. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518909074771-WJ4H1PKHIHEIIAL082U9/26173012_760115117512655_291686085909073247_o.jpg UFS Frames The first machined samples of the 50/50 UFS frames were delivered in late February 2001.

They looked so clean! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518909147476-A0ILA5KIRHWFO0ZMBC85/26063332_760595164131317_4607791586468204614_o.jpg UFS Frames This is a prototype Salomon skate they gave us for testing the UFS frames. This was the first time we'd ever seen a complete UFS skate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518909169823-UBCL3FFPCZQ75LGZLXYM/26170736_760595160797984_314278354717422186_o.jpg UFS Frames The small UFS 50/50 frame was actually the same 250mm 1->4 length as the medium. The only difference was cosmetic, which we achieved by a mold insert. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518909190568-SFNRQV1GFIFHKK3Q4Q5G/26170268_761518327372334_303486765211756020_o.jpg UFS Frames While we were making tweaks to the frames and working on the mold, this Robert Guerrero sequence ad hit right around his VG17 profile in Summer 2001. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518909215412-CPL4K8UREQVWPEJA32QC/26116315_761518594038974_7161852194665264693_o.jpg UFS Frames The first molded frame samples came in April of 2001, which is when we shot this Jon Julio ad. The frames he was holding were the first samples and were solid black, we added the patch in Photoshop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518909251496-U0P39DENUGK2NDKVEF7F/26171811_762280140629486_4690341223290011748_o.jpg UFS Frames Fabiola Dasilva had one of the first pro model 50/50 UFS frames, shown in this ad from June 2001. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518909274430-SSDCTAFNRSGQMWQ36CRZ/26198099_762752127248954_4015839451392051903_o.jpg UFS Frames This 50/50 UFS frame ad hit in Fall of 2001. It detailed the features of the 50/50 UFS frames and showed the three initial release models; Jon Julio, Fabiola Da Silva and the red team frame. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518909311336-P2BNN3IDSWHCCYMV4Y8Z/26220870_763639383826895_7086056482273204461_o.jpg UFS Frames After the initial round of three frames shipped, we started working on the next release. Joshua Petty got the first of the new ads featuring his pro model. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518909337130-QMVNG984YAGA07P8W9OU/26231567_764579617066205_1542912367137495835_n.jpg UFS Frames The 50/50 Pro Model for Louie Zamora was one of our favorite sequence shots ever. An incredible switchup, shot up close by Jess, the fisheye made this curved ledge look wavy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518909366941-LOUYI2RE2HW3WFWPRJ0E/26240686_766070536917113_5588632200402505121_o.jpg UFS Frames Rachard was one of the few skaters to have two Pro Model frame ads, this one showing in Europe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518909390111-N1DA4W9RMKU2FG3C8V5O/26756421_766070790250421_4041011351612540887_o.jpg UFS Frames Rachard Johnson had the next Pro Model 50/50 UFS frame, shown in this Daily Bread ad in February 2002. With his huge hops, Rachard could get up on ledges most people would only dream of. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518909412537-T2U8BKGZB26SKKPIMJ31/26841292_766072500250250_8249548152784768040_o.jpg UFS Frames Rachard Johnson's Pro Model 50/50 UFS frame packaging. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518909436291-8FDCHELQDFO1HX39I0AC/26841052_767687646755402_4217344802279686381_o.jpg UFS Frames Dominic Sagona didn't get an ad for his UFS frame, since he was in the original UFS frame ad a year earlier.

These weren't designed for skating but we could see what the structure of the frames was like. Of course we skated them anyway. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518909523897-WEBVF5PG9D0AXM0JJVRD/26904656_769296309927869_8465050645530721180_n.jpg UFS Frames Towards the beginning of 2002 we got some 50/50 UFS frames made in a clear material.

This was also the first sequenced ad, shot in late 1999 by Jess Dyrenforth in Alameda, California. Brian was still skating the UHMW frames during the shoot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518901546842-DYFRT8UFNXJ8995T7X1T/25734103_757994294391404_7957576977314135514_o.jpg Pro Model Frames Jon Julio was in the second pro frame ad, shown in Daily Bread issue 35 around December 1999.

This ad also included a callout to the Salomon baseplates, which were to mount 50/50 frames on the Salomon ST-8 skate. That never happened due to UFS. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518901603206-7EKTA3JFBGCINMLGAB7A/26025767_758845190972981_1867833004425666797_o.jpg Pro Model Frames This is the April 2000 50/50 ad in the Skate House catalog.

This was also the first sequenced ad, shot in late 1999 by Jess Dyrenforth in Alameda, California. Brian was still skating the UHMW frames during the shoot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518901546842-DYFRT8UFNXJ8995T7X1T/25734103_757994294391404_7957576977314135514_o.jpg Pro Model Molded Frames Jon Julio was in the second pro frame ad, shown in Daily Bread issue 35 around December 1999.

This ad also included a callout to the Salomon baseplates, which were to mount 50/50 frames on the Salomon ST-8 skate. That never happened due to UFS. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518901603206-7EKTA3JFBGCINMLGAB7A/26025767_758845190972981_1867833004425666797_o.jpg Pro Model Molded Frames This is the April 2000 50/50 ad in the Skate House catalog.

They were poured in California, available only in “medium” size, and were solid black with UHMW baseplates. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518890729115-463YKMXLI3TENTW1JUPM/25438907_755962907927876_6610796550735159007_o.jpg Moulded 50/50 Frames After testing for a few weeks we knew the moulded frames were going to be good. Jon Julio was featured in the first ad highlighting the technical benefits of the frame and the Juice System. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518890768204-MVY7EQSE4GF9HZFX8VT4/25487583_755962911261209_413371603131771860_o.jpg Moulded 50/50 Frames Interestingly, the ad for the international market focused more on the skating. This might also be the first time "Feeling the Juice" was used. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518890795723-V127MKUAASFJBVTQ2PW6/25488092_756412357882931_9138744187980622051_o.jpg Moulded 50/50 Frames This shot of Jon Julio was taken a few months after the original 50/50 frame ad and features a black juice system with his pro model grindplate. This was very close to what his USD Throne ended up as. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518896795067-X7NR63QHCV3L9UQK3Y64/25498147_756412347882932_9195914781646195748_n.jpg Moulded 50/50 Frames The first pro model skate with 50/50 frames was the Jon Julio USD Throne, shown here in 1998. The final production looked a bit different, and it was only available in the US thanks to Scott Walker, but it was an incredible skate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518896840330-KOMG9S02UVZ1GCHAS1RQ/25586838_756788007845366_1652234883492905804_o.jpg Moulded 50/50 Frames In 1999 we moved the frame molds to China to get better pricing and faster production. The first run had silver paint in the logo and a hang tag with Jon Julio and Josh Petty. If you have a pair of frames without paint, they were made in the USA! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518896881509-LTF8JU34I74JXBOSWQL1/25588107_756788011178699_4479575935017681476_o.jpg Moulded 50/50 Frames The inside of the hang tag explained some of the features of the 50/50 frame. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518896914928-Z2J9EB3HINEQGB2HYNSQ/25587746_756788041178696_6231112594351850842_o.jpg Moulded 50/50 Frames The outside of the hang tag had pictures of Jon Julio and Joshua Petty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518896951078-MVQF409QKAJEX9I76ADO/25551892_756788004512033_2946844054905019249_n.jpg Moulded 50/50 Frames This is what the frame packaging looked like fully flattened. The box was designed in Huntington Beach, we provided the artwork. The skater in the silouette is Champion Baumstimler. (pro tip: If you lined up multiple boxes on a shelf, the FIFTY50 and the red stripes would match up) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518896986386-9B0NZONNGXU4A9HUAO8Y/25586826_756788031178697_8167907427477031478_o.jpg Moulded 50/50 Frames Frames, baseplates and axles were sold aftermarket as a replacement or for customization. We sold the baseplates in sets of two rather than sets of four, assuming people would wear down the soul on one side faster than the other. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518897016198-D4AWHRSFOGD8J8MIRSC0/25587958_757220224468811_1497850425214305823_o.jpg Moulded 50/50 Frames Jon Elliott was the first rider to test the 50/50 Razors adapter plates and provided a ton of feedback on how they could be improved. This ad with Jon ran in Daily Bread issue 33 around Winter 1999. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518897035030-HBTDMIE0YOPSYQ2PBQV6/25626027_757220197802147_3270242491923217846_o.jpg Moulded 50/50 Frames The Razors adapter plates were made out of aluminum and required the skater to drill into their boots to mount. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518897057512-9SRX2B2VT9PLO4OI3IRH/25498506_757220191135481_8500812726201870410_n.jpg Moulded 50/50 Frames This is the front Razors adapter.

It was really thin, maybe 4mm at the most, which was enough to hold the frames securely. https://5050frames.com/new-gallery daily 0.75 2024-05-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1515605565613-H7EO0BVTZ7EYCUM5JOWT/history2.jpg Original 50/50 Frames The Juice System wasn't a thing yet, that heel plate was just for stability and not performance. You can see how short it was. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1515605606620-GC57SYWOIJZZE33BI0YD/history3.jpg Original 50/50 Frames The original design had a recessed area for 50/50 grindplates, which was eventually scrapped in favor of standardization. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1515605619883-TSJYGDFX7I7V79FQSMOI/history1.jpg Original 50/50 Frames You can see the anti-rivets were designed to use the same hole pattern at the Roces Majestic 12. These anti-rivets were a small hex vs the phillips head we ended up shipping with. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1515605685459-4TNNIH2ZNWB3IN03KFJK/history4.jpg Original 50/50 Frames The original prototypes were designed to fit the Roces majestic 12.

These were the original baseplates, before the Juice System rear baseplate was introduced.

They were much wider and angled out to help lock onto grinds. The name Juice came from Jon Julio saying “I’m feeling the juice” after trying them on ledges.

They were made in white and grey. The UHMW proved to be too soft for skating (the axel holes would stretch out after multiple gaps) so only a few hundred were made. Thanks to Daniel Rolling Michel for the picture of his mint condition frames from the USD Classic Throne Facebook group https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518890596099-RO8F9Q0NGP9KY07P4KSC/25498110_755963467927820_6430903959137432885_n.jpg Original 50/50 Frames This was a frame machined out of solid UHMW.

We were all tasked to come up with a mounting standard by ourselves, then we were to meet and share our designs. Our design was based off the existing 50/50 frames but with two protruding mounts to allow for easier mounting to the boots. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518908991672-6SB72PX9U5XTEQV5PBT6/26171084_759635907560576_8113359632552493087_o.png UFS Frames The first drawings for the 50/50 UFS frames were submitted to our manufacturer in November of 2000. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518909014467-W0489C07VFCW61IODXJP/26171645_759637274227106_4816454169395972274_o.jpg UFS Frames While waiting for the first UFS prototypes, we created a 3D rendered frame ad with the drawings in January 2001. This ad was never released, nor was the racing stripe or debossed logo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518909041313-YU8ZP5OE4XEZ7YJ077QZ/26172431_759638187560348_6170813608161889234_o.jpg UFS Frames This Dominic Sagona 50/50 ad was the first public image of what the UFS frame was going to look like. Even though it was just a drawing, we wanted to show that we were 100% behind the UFS project. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518909074771-WJ4H1PKHIHEIIAL082U9/26173012_760115117512655_291686085909073247_o.jpg UFS Frames The first machined samples of the 50/50 UFS frames were delivered in late February 2001.

They looked so clean! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518909147476-A0ILA5KIRHWFO0ZMBC85/26063332_760595164131317_4607791586468204614_o.jpg UFS Frames This is a prototype Salomon skate they gave us for testing the UFS frames. This was the first time we'd ever seen a complete UFS skate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518909169823-UBCL3FFPCZQ75LGZLXYM/26170736_760595160797984_314278354717422186_o.jpg UFS Frames The small UFS 50/50 frame was actually the same 250mm 1->4 length as the medium. The only difference was cosmetic, which we achieved by a mold insert. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518909190568-SFNRQV1GFIFHKK3Q4Q5G/26170268_761518327372334_303486765211756020_o.jpg UFS Frames While we were making tweaks to the frames and working on the mold, this Robert Guerrero sequence ad hit right around his VG17 profile in Summer 2001. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518909215412-CPL4K8UREQVWPEJA32QC/26116315_761518594038974_7161852194665264693_o.jpg UFS Frames The first molded frame samples came in April of 2001, which is when we shot this Jon Julio ad. The frames he was holding were the first samples and were solid black, we added the patch in Photoshop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518909251496-U0P39DENUGK2NDKVEF7F/26171811_762280140629486_4690341223290011748_o.jpg UFS Frames Fabiola Dasilva had one of the first pro model 50/50 UFS frames, shown in this ad from June 2001. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518909274430-SSDCTAFNRSGQMWQ36CRZ/26198099_762752127248954_4015839451392051903_o.jpg UFS Frames This 50/50 UFS frame ad hit in Fall of 2001. It detailed the features of the 50/50 UFS frames and showed the three initial release models; Jon Julio, Fabiola Da Silva and the red team frame. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518909311336-P2BNN3IDSWHCCYMV4Y8Z/26220870_763639383826895_7086056482273204461_o.jpg UFS Frames After the initial round of three frames shipped, we started working on the next release. Joshua Petty got the first of the new ads featuring his pro model. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518909337130-QMVNG984YAGA07P8W9OU/26231567_764579617066205_1542912367137495835_n.jpg UFS Frames The 50/50 Pro Model for Louie Zamora was one of our favorite sequence shots ever. An incredible switchup, shot up close by Jess, the fisheye made this curved ledge look wavy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518909366941-LOUYI2RE2HW3WFWPRJ0E/26240686_766070536917113_5588632200402505121_o.jpg UFS Frames Rachard was one of the few skaters to have two Pro Model frame ads, this one showing in Europe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518909390111-N1DA4W9RMKU2FG3C8V5O/26756421_766070790250421_4041011351612540887_o.jpg UFS Frames Rachard Johnson had the next Pro Model 50/50 UFS frame, shown in this Daily Bread ad in February 2002. With his huge hops, Rachard could get up on ledges most people would only dream of. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518909412537-T2U8BKGZB26SKKPIMJ31/26841292_766072500250250_8249548152784768040_o.jpg UFS Frames Rachard Johnson's Pro Model 50/50 UFS frame packaging. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518909436291-8FDCHELQDFO1HX39I0AC/26841052_767687646755402_4217344802279686381_o.jpg UFS Frames Dominic Sagona didn't get an ad for his UFS frame, since he was in the original UFS frame ad a year earlier.

These weren't designed for skating but we could see what the structure of the frames was like. Of course we skated them anyway. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4cf6b7f14aa106b74050a2/1518909523897-WEBVF5PG9D0AXM0JJVRD/26904656_769296309927869_8465050645530721180_n.jpg UFS Frames Towards the beginning of 2002 we got some 50/50 UFS frames made in a clear material.
