Saw it in the new transworld. woulda posted a bigger pic of the ad if i could find it. the graphics are dope as hell. If yall be lurkin my posts then you know i fucks with the p2. that shit works as advertised. In the same transworld they had an article about the 10 products that changed skateboarding and mentioned that skate mental is using the technology now as well, although i havent seen anything from SM officially so i guess thats coming soon or whatever.

That's sick. I had two Flip p2 boards and I really liked em but I don't like Flip so it's cool to see companies I like starting to use p2 technology.

Are they going to be using it for all of their boards, or just have certain boards/series?

I don't know many people besides myself that considers that a long time. For some reason almost everybody that I know expects boards to last a month and a half or so.

Regular boards usually last me 10-14 days. Thats just me though, give my old one to a homie.

i had a flip one as well. put it through 2 months of abuse with lots of road trips and gap skating. the middle is still stiff to this day & the nose still has most of its pop. the only reason i stopped using it is because over time i kept chipping up the tail. i cant get jiggy with no shovel tail so i had to switch it up.

geoff rowley said that the whole flip team is riding them as well so yeah, that alone is a testament to the quality.

Aside from arto and geoff, 90lb 13 year olds don't snap too many boards.

I'm still a bit skeptical of these technology boards.

ill admit the "spring loaded pop" shit makes it sound gimmicky, but really its just a lighter deck with a crispier, longer-lasting snap to it. for me it still felt like a brand new board for about 2 weeks. like, first time skating it brand new. it takes about 20 minutes to get used to doing fliptricks ona such a lightweight deck but once thats outta the way it's perfect.

I was actually just about to ask if anyone else noticed that Tim didn't have a board in this series. 

Don't really follow Habitat closely or know if they do it Girl/Choco-style and don't include everyone in
series boards, but isn't he the only pro missing?
