Graphics be damned! I've been trying to snatch up as many P2 decks as I can since they went out of production and I've loved the 2 I've ridden. Zero and Louie Lopez are from @Mongoloid, dude is a solid gold mate. @Sundaynuggets game through with The Sloth Report deck, I went in buying trucks but knew I had to get one of his boards. I have not trained BJJ but I have done Muay Thai for a few years and follow MMA extensively. This one was a great find.
I love this so much dude! keep hoarding those P2s!
I've managed to find a small batch in a shop in China. Problem is they are small at 7.875. I think I could handle the reduced with but I'm not sure about the length and WB, if its 31.6 - 31.75 I could deal with it. But I know some 7.75s that are 31.3 which is microscopic.
Aren’t P2s the same as a Dwindle impact deck?
I was thinking the same thing the other day, the P2 looks like it has a little more carbon fiber in it:
But what would I know. DSM decks definitely sound different, almost plastic and rattly. Haven't ridden anything other than a shitty price point board so I'd give the Impact decks another go.
Yeah, but far more fun to hunt down the discontinued P2s!
Not to mention more expensive, don't want to be stuck with dimensions I can't at least skate. I've gotten screwed over twice by Skate America / Action Village. Got sent a P2 Cruiser and a regular Santa Cruz deck instead of the P2 deck.
The impacts (as noted above) are a thinner strip (they stopped making the 8 ply full top layer boards) than the P2s carbon fiber insert width, the impacts are also heavier than standard decks, 'Impact light' only refers to it being lighter than the
full impact board I mentioned; they are heavier than the P2s.
When they were made, that's all I rode and If they still made P2s it's all I'd ride...
This being my fav:
Flights are flexi in comparison, so far tho, the VX I'm skating is feeling very P2: light, stiff and poppy.
