FLIGHT™ decks are thin, strong and long lasting. The epoxy infused, fibre reinforced structure of the Flight deck is extremely resistant to breaking. This structure gives Flight decks "everlasting pop" that doesn't fade as the deck slowly wears with usage. Ollies higher because of greater rebound and snap. A superior performing skateboard.
Due to the nature of some specialised inks and metallic foils used in the production process, there may be subtle variations and minor imperfections unique to each skateboard.
Powell-Peralta x Mike McGill "Skull and Snake" Artwork;
In the summer of 1984, Mike McGill perfected the 540 degree front-flip aerial maneuver, known as the "540 McTwist" at a skate camp in Sweden. This groundbreaking, competition changing trick coincided with the time Vernon Courtlandt Johnson (VCJ) was designing a new deck graphic for McGill. With the popularity of the Powell-Peralta "Skull and Bones" theme, it was decided to use a similar theme for McGill's new deck. In tribute to his home state of Florida with it's diverse snake population and frequent thunderstorms, McGill requested that a snake and lightning bolts be incorporated into the skull graphic.
McGill's Skull and Snake graphic now an iconic design from the 80's.
