RFLX, short for Reflex, was the deck brand of Jeff, a French fingerboarder who posted as theGman on the Petit Frère forum. He pressed his first decks in his own mold in 2006, named them Reflex that September and opened a small shop at rflx.pro.tm by Christmas. The G2 mold followed in 2007 with more pop, more concave and a choice of wood veneers, then the G4, G4 Deluxe and XL in 2008. From 2008 RFLX was sold through Spinal, the shop Jeff ran at spinal.fr, which added graphic decks with heat-transfer prints in 2011 and a 31 mm Fingerboard France edition in 2012. Spinal closed in 2013 and RFLX went with it.
