However, the Blind R7 skate decks skate are about $20 less expensive. These decks feel as stiff and strong as a Santa Cruz VX deck (which is my pick for the strongest and best skate deck at the moment).

That’s what lead me to want to try one of Blind’s R7 decks.įor this review, I skated the Blind R7 deck, and I bought a TJ Rogers Pro Super Sap R7 Model to set up next, so I can get a few more weeks on an R7 to add to this review post. I’ve tried out all of the carbon fiber and composite skateboard decks. Why Did I Buy a Blind Skate Deck?įor the past few years, I’ve been reviewing working on a longer comparison review to find the strongest skateboard decks available. The result is a stronger and stiffer deck than a traditional skateboard deck. However, the difference is that instead of using a typical wood-based glue, the maple plys are bonded together by epoxy resin. R7 is a type of skateboard deck construction with 7-maple plys just like there are in a traditional skate deck. That’s the detail that won me back over to start skating Blind decks again. Now they are offering a 30-day break-free warranty. I heard that Blind started adding an eco-friendly resin into the manufacturing process of all of their “R7” decks. The good news is that it was 25 years ago now, and it would never happen again with the new way that Blind makes their decks. I broke a Blind deck within 15 minutes on a flatground heelflip. I loved the shape and all that was Blind until something less than ideal happened. I bought my first Blind deck, the Blind Reaper Noose. It looked like this. Back in 1997, when I began skateboarding, I saw the Reaper graphics in a CCS catalog, and I was hooked. First Impression of Blind Skateboard Decks?īlind is not a new skateboard brand, so my first impression is a little different than my impression now.
