Almost Fat Font R7 8.5" Skateboard Deck
More pop, more stability - the R7 complete decks from Almost
Almost Skateboards was founded in 2003 by two of the most creative and influential Skaters on the planet: Daewon Song and Rodney Mullen. Since then, the Californian company pushed the classic skateboard construction methods to new levels using 7-ply, 8-ply and carbon fibre constructions with resin epoxy glue. This results in the most stable and lightest decks on the market.
Decks with R7 construction are glued with epoxy resin instead of conventional water-based glue. This results in a lighter weight and features a better and longer lasting pop.
Riding Style
This board is perfect for any terrain. You can skate it on the street as well as on your local skatepark, bowl or mini ramp.
Shape
The deck comes in a classic shape: The nose is a bit longer than the tail and the concave keeps you comfortable on your board.
Setup
Deck, wheels, and trucks work perfectly together. The wheels are ideal for the smooth concrete of your local skate park or for skating at your favourite street spot. The stable trucks are characterized by a very good steering behaviour. The deck comes with the tried and tested construction of 7 layers of maple wood.
Skateboard Trucks Size Chart
The width of the trucks should match the deck width. The skate truck is specified with either the hanger width or the axle width.
You can find the matching trucks for your skate deck in this table:
