“There are so many within the skateboarding world who look at skating as a religion which must be practiced to exacting and specific standards; you must conform and ride this type of terrain, you must conform and do these types of tricks, you must not mix this style with that style, you must look this way or else etc. And then once in a while a skater like Andy comes along who doesn’t fit into this fanatical mold, a skater who is such an outsider himself that he doesn’t even fit into skateboarding. He doesn’t fit in because he’s not following it’s false mandates. What Andy is doing is living the creed of what a skateboarder is supposed to be. He’s not conforming nor is he looking for acceptance from conforming, and with that he’s accepting the grief and exclusion that comes with being a true outsider. That is what a real skateboarder is.” -Stacy Peralta

- Fast and agile! Review by Dan
I bought this deck because I was curious about how the shape would ride. It's amazing! And the shorter wheelbase makes it turn on a dime. (Posted on 1/30/2020)Rating - Unbelievable Review by Nick G
If a magic carpet and a “devil stick” had a baby, it’d be this board. (Posted on 1/16/2020)Rating - Andy Anderson Review by GEORGE
One of the best skaters and one of the best boards ever. (Posted on 1/2/2020)Rating - Both versions are great. Review by Anthony
I’ve skated off/on since 1979 at 4 years old. My city banned skateboarding in 1987 or so. So I skated off/on and switched to BMX. This year I got a Haro Blackout BMX bike and lost 30 pounds. 220 to 190. I saw Nine Club interviews with Steve Caballero and Chad Muska and Tony Hawk and wanted to skate again. Last skated in like 2012. Bought the bigger 9.1” version of this board to learn halfpipe and bowls. At age 44 lol. Was successful but wanted to try this 8.4” deck. Both boards are great. Unfortunately, we get our first snow tonight. So I won’t have time to skate as much. I custom painted my 9.1” deck. Will be doing the same to this 8.4”. Great boards and unique. I got a 3rd deck (Rodney Mullen Uber Light 8.0”) but probably won’t get to ride it for a week. These 3 boards will keep me skating until I can’t anymore. I’ll never be Tony Hawk or Christian Hosoi on halfpipe, Duane Peters in a bowl or Rodney Mullen on street. But, I met about 30 new people and learned how to pump transitions on a 12 foot halfpipe (I could only bmx and snowboard halfpipe before this year). So got to fulfill that dream since I first saw a halfpipe in the October/November 1986 issue of Thrasher. I put 56mm bones wheels on the 9.1”. And put the 54mm bones onto this 8.4”. 53mm was a little small for park it seemed. But, put those on the Mullen. Deck technology has changed a lot since my Rob Roskopp deck or even my Mini Logo Slick Caballero deck from like 2001 ish? Flight decks are great. If you aren’t used to big boards, get the 8.4”. But, the 9.1” is great too. (Posted on 11/11/2019)Rating - Best new Deck!! Review by Rick
Powell Peralta has done it again with an amazing new deck! Vcj and Powell peralta are the dream team! So many reasons to switch to this flight deck. It's a masterpiece!! (Posted on 10/14/2019)Rating - Inspiring shape Review by Chris
From the flight construction to the perfect concave and shape this board is a real winner. Thinking differently about shapes gives you a board that inspires you to try new things - the flat nose is great to grab and the flat elements of the tail make give you better cues for placement and let you be more consistent with tricks. (Posted on 9/26/2019)Rating - Literally a better skater cause of this Review by Rory GC
Like the title says after getting this deck from my local shop I have learned a bunch of new tricks but most of all it made basics more consistent. I suck at skating but this board give me the confidence to pop gaps that previously scared me and just charge that much harder. You can really tell all the thought Andy put into the shape of this board! On a side note though don’t expect to suddenly be able to wallie like Andy I got broke off trying to go over a barrier like he does. Hopefully I get it next time! (Posted on 9/11/2019)Rating - FUCKING SICK Review by Mikel
I started skating again after 12 years and started off with this board because I'm a heavy dude (260 lbsish) and all I can say is that this board has been nothing but good to me. I popped my first ollie on it and it feels amazing. It feels great to roll around with this sick board. (Posted on 7/24/2019)Rating - Omfg Review by Jonas Nilsson
This board is a Dream Come TrueRating
Without a doubt The best skateboard ive ever stand on.
It's amazing!!! Wow!! Cant find the words
(Posted on 7/5/2019)- Awesome! Review by Sophie Dahlia
I got ahold of this deck from another outlet, since it was sold out already here, and I've gotta say I love it! I really hope that even if you decided not to restock these, that you keep using Andy's shape. Perfect for caspers! Super light and intelligently designed. I'll be keeping my eyes out for more of them! (Posted on 6/29/2019)Rating
