Blind 7.75 price point deck with black magic grip
Venture 5.0 lo cast with stock purple bushings.
Spitfire f4 classic 51 bones swiss 6

Board is so fucking good. Tail is mellow, mellower than a mini logo. Nose is steep but still mellower than most DSM and doesn't have much concave. Almost perfect board for me, sturdy like a dsm with a flatter mold.Graphic and brand are whack. I just use the "Gideon Choi skated theese graphics" idea to not bum myself out

Rotating dunks, japan pros and AF1s

Looks sick dude!
I know the Blind Reaper is considered wack and all but those graphics are what I would see when I was really young and started look at some skate related stuff. So based on nostalgia I would buy a reaper graphic to hang on the wall (and maybe skate?)

the reaper all over print with the jahmal hilfiger nod

Glad you found a nice mellow board, I know dwindle used to have listings like steep kicks mellow concave, did this one say mellow/mellow? I’ve never seen one but would probably try one out if it’s mellowed than mini logo.

How are you liking the flick on the Japan pro? I was thinking about getting the white leather ones.

It says "Steep kicks" "full concave"
That's the trippy part. The pro board seems steeper than this generic logo graphic ones.
The flick on the Japan pro is dunk like but grippier. My kickflips dip more with japan pros than with the dunks.
I really like the japan pros but size 13 sells quick or they make less. Plus the only colors I liked are the black ones and the white ones.

[Troubadour26]

size 13 on 7.75 is insane

I had a blind price point, maybe 2016. It was a just the classic logo on a stain ply. tail delamed from the pressure of setting up an ollie.

that being said or your sure that's a price point and not an r7?

The pro boards are 70-73 dollars, the one i got is 50 dollars (i got it for $23). Still a resin epoxy deck. $20 difference is a price point. I think deluxe price points are about the same

All Dwindle boards use resin, r7 are solid maple, the cheap ones are "Resin Hybrid" meaning maple and birch plies

My brother Pete's set up
Late 80s Madrid. Was similar to the back to the future board.

Some type of motor. He bombs on this shit. I've seen it. It's scary. But sick

No, not all use resin.
Even on their website some decks do not even say resin.

I seen a few of those non resin decks on display for 40 bucks. But it is rare for them to be standalone decks. Usually kids boards.

Interested to know how that deck goes for you.

Also copying the pics to the woodshop thread if that is ok?

Thanks!

Of course! Only two sessions in, but it has been very good so far.

I'd likely never use the Spicoli sticker either.

Love this graphic! Wish Baker used shapes that I preferred. I like the concave and kick steepness, just not the points.

i love the classic baker shape: mellow, pointy. i was frequently seeing b2’s, and those are not for me.

I like the pointy mellow ones. They make a lot of flip tricks easier. I really should skate them more because they work for me

I’ll put the shop stickers on my boards. If you got em toss em on the board

7/8" Allen bolts w/low profile nutters

Rowan 2s (getting a second wind with these, excellent feeling shoe)

2nd egg (hated my first, the 9.5 heroin symmetrical one), surprisingly not gross to look down on and super comfortable; haven't lost any tricks and scoopy tricks are much easier. Short tail took (is taking) a bit to get used to for some tricks and I do find myself using the nose for some tail tricks (trying to not do that). They seem to be selling out fast so nabbed another JIC.

Had 8.5 slappy lights on it but just felt a bit sluggish; going to try some royals as I'm still wheelbiting with these thunders/hard bushings and with ~52mm wheels it's slooow going.
