Are HOCKEY Boards worth the Price? 

Ive got one at the moment real nice boards took a bit to get used to how steep the kicks are. I waited till the last season went on sale got it for 100aud.

I just got this exact deck for sale at supply in darlinghurst for 50 bucks lol

Say what!! An 8.75" Hockey deck?! I didn't know they existed. These are pricey at my local if they come in at all. Thanks again for the thorough review and awesome clips. The comparison of the different wood shops helps me. Great to know where these Hockey Decks sit between and that they flex. An 8.75" Hockey Deck runs me $108 USD shipped so the pricing is on point. If they ever go on sale I'll snag one.

i've not had a hockey/fa board. i have a couple anti-hero boards, and i like them fine, but really like the stiffness of dwindle/dsm decks.

I don't care what people say. I'm a 320 pound skateboarder I love Hockey Board's. Best board I skate in my 34 years. I'm ordering another one tomorrow and I'm looking forward to skating my FA board. I love the big shovel nose. All board's should be big and square nose

i love Hockey/Fa 8.18. They cost 95 euros here in Europe. There's no way im paying that much. Thankfully you can find them for 50-60 euros on sale.

Good review. Think I won’t bother trying Hockey now, have you tried Krooked 8.75 decks before? I’d like to hear your opinion

Hey thanks for the review ! I hesitate to buy hockey board because i love doing nollie flip tricks and im afraid to dont like the big nose… do you like the shovel nose for nollie flip tricks ?

check out supply store, theyre a shop in sydney. bunch of FA, hockey and palace boards for 50 bucks and even more for 70. they have a couple 8 75's for 50.

I’ve got one setup. Looking forward to trying it once everything isn’t wet.

I just broke down and got a Santa Cruz VX and honestly it is good you can feel the pop it’s so snappy and I like shorter wb I don’t think I’ll go back to reg boards

Hey Leon have you ever tried a Zero deck? Im trying to decide between Hockey and a zero?

80-93 USD for just the deck? I'm not saying you're wrong but I don't remember it costing anywhere near that much for mine back when I bought REAL it was like maybe 40 to 50 USD.

Here in the US these Hockey boards cost $70

We’re are u from ? I buy my hockey decks for 80$-90$ +shipping

I like Passport's shape boards because they have more of a shovel shape to the tail and nose, do you think the Hockey shape is even more pronounced / square? It looks that way in your vid.

I got lucky the first time buying a FA deck and the shipping was like $7 for some reason. I got the board delivered to my house in 4 days for $78. Wish thay happened every time.

ive a 9 inch board by hockey, and honestly, best deck i ever bought, thing is a beast

For that price, and if you snap boards, why not just go with a 8.75 Flight deck? They have 15" wheelbase though. I like it, but, I guess not everyone does. Also, I think the concave and kicks are mellow on Powell decks. I've only mostly been skating Powell though and so can't really compare to much else.

I know blind isn’t super cool these days but would you review one of their shaped boards? They’re like $50 on skateconnection atm, shapes look sick imo

Giving up my plug here but just hit up supply store sale section and you will find these boards for $50-70 AUD. Just need to get grip from elsewhere. Big fan of FA/Hockey but you should never have to pay full price . Just wait till they go on sale at supply store. 👍

yeah they are if u know where to buy them for good prices

front lips on a mini logo ... never realized that impact dip was all deck stiffness really....

tbh big noses and tails seem amazing but not so amazing that I'm gonna pay a 25% increase in price I blame the hype of the brands tbh FA/Hockey but hey I never tried one but I can imagine it would feel similar to a Baker Board does

It seems like they're going the way of trying to appeal to hypebeast kids.. the same ones that swear by sb dunks and supreme..I just picked up a salman agah 8.7 flight for around the same price.. I'd never spend that much on a basic wood deck just because it has the name the kids think is cool at the moment.

What park is this?

FA/hockey decks do last long (which may make the price worth it) but that's because they're heavy and stiff. So there's that trade off.

Why are they so expensive for everyone else, here in Vegas they run $80 flat

My herion egg shape decks are 84$ each thought that was expensive lol 😂

I spent 99 doll hairs for My flight deck and I can say they are well worth the money

I got my Hologram FA for $80 USD. The Hockey and FA boards now average at $74 USD. Way better with BBS than all of the PS STIX I had that chipped and peeled (big chips) in nearly no time at all. My FA hasn't chipped at all and I have had it longer than any PS STIX I've had.

I’ll stick to Anti Hero 8.75 Eagles.

Wow $160 to 200 i skate a Baker and Baker is like $65 to 70

making the nose bigger than the tail is no where worth this price. watch how a deck is made and youll understand how these prices are way too high. back in the day H-Street when Matt Hensley was skating for them had steep kicks and they were nowhere near this price.

Haven't ridden a toy machine in probably 18 years. Do they still have a nose like that? Maybe stick with one of those?

It’s kind of ridiculous to be charging 160 bucks plus for a deck that any real skater is going to need to replace within weeks! IMO FA and Hockey are aimed at your average Grom whose gonna ride it to death over the course of six months!

I hate scooters

Def nah

Bro i will never understand why people bring there dumb kids on scooters to a skatepark that your supposed to do and try tricks at and all they do is ride around and get in the way

Never would I pay 160 for a basic wood board, you know how many blanks that buys?
