FLIGHT™ Decks are: Thinner - as thin as your phone Stronger - more than twice as strong in our tail break tests Longer lasting - The epoxy infused, fiber reinforced structure of the Flight deck is extremely resistant to breaking, and this structure gives them "everlasting pop" that doesn't fade as your deck slowly wears. Ollies higher because of greater rebound and snap. Team testing suggests that Flight decks will last several times longer than a 7-ply, making them a great value as well as a superior performing skateboard. *Remember, skateboards are meant to be ridden, not run over by a car or truck.
