What type of blades Yuzu uses and why?


Recommended Posts

I've been looking around other skaters' blades and most of them look straight, like no inside half-circular pattern inside like I've seen in Yuzu's case.

Is there any difference between them? If so, did Yuzu specified why he prefers this type of blades compared to the others?


*pics of blades for reference cause i may sound chaotic rn (1st yuzu's, 2nd javier's)*

They're the Pattern 99 revolution blades:

A lot of skaters use them. I think the Revolution are lighter than the regular Pattern 99s, but the type of blade skaters prefer is personal preference.
