They're curvy and sexy like me! Lol
Really though, the roundcrown design is stronger and lighter, and has
no corners to bust your knees on. They're best used for trials b/c you
can't very easily do any tricks that require one or both feet on the
crown.

Well, In my opinion (others may differ), its primarily the frame wanted
for trials, so when doing SIF hopping, you wont smash your knees on the
corners. Thats hurts a lot. I actually cut some pieces off of my Nimbus
II frame to make it a round crown. 'heres a link to one of my posts with
pictures of it.' (http://tinyurl.com/5vajcq) It turned out really nice,
and i really like it.

imagine Kaori w/ a roundcrown...
i think its rather stupid to be so caught up in roundcrowns, not to be
opposed to them, but they are just a frame to me, don't mean too much
really, if it works for you, cool, if not, oh well.

i don't see a reason for a "revival" ... you don't save much of
anything.

I've hit my shins on my KH maybe one or two times while hopping and my
little brother has not reported anything while using his Nimbus II
frame. I don't see what the fuss is about.

I like your frame. It looks like you can still use it for crown tricks.
Instead of asking for round crowns to be brought back, why not ask for
the those metal nubs to be sheared off or something?

haha. Cause thats a lot of work to get it to where i have it. I even
did a really crappy job on my machining of it, i did absolutely NO
measuring. It was all by sight.

edit: i would produce the frame if i could, but i have no means of
doing so, nor do i have a want. Still i think its a cool design i came
up with.
