Title: Powell-Peralta Flight deck - is it worth it?
Post by: ChrisFrantz on June 30, 2018, 06:58:23 PM: Have you guys tried a Powell-Peralta Flight deck? If so, do you think it's worth the $80? I skated one for a few weeks and reviewed it. Hopefully this helps anyone trying to decide if they should buy one!

They're great feeling if you like stiff poppy (AF) boards. They do last longer than a standard 7ply IF manuals are not a major part of your trick selection (or you are really good at them); I'm not great at them and razor tailed both pretty fast.

All park and no manuals? Thing will last at least two decks worth of time.

Post by: Octobre Rouge. on July 01, 2018, 10:33:56 PM: A guy showed up a the park with a Cab flight deck and it was surprisingly good.

it was a shaped deck, with 169 Indy and big Orbs wheels, but at the end, it was a pretty light set up.

Did two nosemanuals 180 and few tre flip first try with this monster, the deck was responsive and stiff.

give it a shot !
