That's not the 5 ply one, you got a full wood one, make sure you get the Andy Anderson flight deck which will have the flight logo on the nose instead of the Powell "P" logo
@@DanWebz Even then i feel like the average skater or even those who are still learning but can afford to spend a bit more might be able to use a board for much longer than a month, a year for a deck isn't unrealistic, bearings will go out first for most skaters and those are relatively inexpensive. I bought one but I can't skate because of a leg injury that might last my entire life so it just sits on my wall, nice decor lol.
Looking forward to his new shape. Also, little tip for razor tail, put a bead of wood glue along the tail after every session, it adds a little to the deck to rub off before you hit wood each session. It works better then you would think.
Awesome video! The first board I got myself when I got back into skating was an Andy Anderson flight deck. I loved it but I haven't been able to justify getting another because of the premium price. I've skated with tailblocks (even made a whole video about them lol) and like you said, unless you can get used to them they do feel strange and change the dynamics of the board. Love the channel!
Ive got the same board and its a standard 7 ply. If you want the proper flight deck then you need to get the original design one with the orange and blue graphic 👍 i only found this out AFTER getting this one though
@@DanWebz I read somewhere that they should have been actual flight decks but there was material shortages or something so had to restrict it to the main design ones rather than the alternate colours. Don't know how true that is though.....
The shape of the board makes for the perfect street cruiser that can also flick a trey like its a small Popsicle deck. You are skating the 7 ply maple version bruh, the flight version has a different colour pallet.
Well holding it next to a normal board I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt it’s considerably lighter. Also the first thing everyone says when they try my setup is “how is it so light”
I bought a flight deck expecting the same thing. When you weigh them side by side, the flight deck is not lighter. We were weighing a 8.0 flight deck vs an 8.25 element deck and a 8.25 Primitive deck, Flight was the heaviest while being smaller overall. I think the reason people interpret it as feeling lighter is because the thickness. Love your videos btw. I have video of it somewhere... will try to find it and get it uploaded. We built the 8.0 with tensor lo mag lights and ceramic bearings. @@DanWebz
