I used to go to Life skatepark every weekend back in the realy 2000s. Great company to support very humble dudes. Sam has awalys been a really down to earth dude.

[@bdub345]

I literally just followed them on IG this morning and was checking out the football shapes. So much customization and it's all hand done which is insane in this day and age but so hyped they have so much involvement in their product.

[@the_laybacks]

I'm from southern Indiana and there are a couple dudes here sponsored by Life. They seem like a really cool company. I've never actually rode one before, but have picked up many decks at a shop nearby. They are unlike any other boards I've seen. The shapes are CRAZY but they seem totally versatile. And the coolest part is the texture on the graphic side of the board. You can almost FEEL the graphic. It is very cool.

[@bricemenaugh4828]

Yes sir!! Sam is the man. I'm here in southern Indiana as well!

[@mearl3977]

This is so sick. I love Sam's boards! I've been to Life and Sam let me sk8 his personal bowl. Learned how to drop in on a deep bowl there. I'm hyped to see his boards on your channel! Great boards by great people

[@brokedownsuperman]

That’s the exact board I’m about to get. I’m 6’2” 220 lbs, and I’m so glad I found Life Skateboards. Bigger boards with nice wheelbases.

[@astreet339]

Thanks for this one Zach! I’ve been on their site designing me a set up and I’ve been wondering how they skated.

[@ManakSkates]

Sam and Life Skateboards are LEGIT! Stoked to see you give them some love. 🤙

[@samuelkoch349]

🙏🏼

[@coreyc6879]

I'm riding a 9" width 15" wheelbase and only skate bowls and transition. I've been riding it for a little over two years now and am ready for a new deck. I'm 5'7" 150lb and wanted to get an opinion on what I should get next. I really appreciate your videos, lots of great information!

[@lylewall4292]

👁 ❤️ Life!!!! I’m skating the same shape right now and it freaking rocks!!!!

[@greenthirteen1234]

Great looking board. I was a skater in the 80s and most boards where this kinda size 😍

[@kevskatesNM73]

More than once- I’ve had friends like “DUDE 215s DUDE 215s DUDE 215s!!!” Sick ass front layback grind at the beginning too- always thought that was a super super athletic trick- but I dig the ones that are “more front tail/less grind” and you got it Z

[@ellisonoden3517]

Those elite wheels are my favorite wheels ever

[@KyleAndersonSkates]

deck seems awesome, and those trucks look to be perfect imo! but some larger wheels for sure like you mentioned at the end!

[@AgusGonzalez1998]

Just setup a set of Indy 215s on a Heroin Dead Dave 10 inch board, it weighs a ton but looks absolutely great. Unfortunately I'm still recovering from a broken ankle so I haven't had the chance to take it out for a ride yet haha :-D Keep it up Zack!

[@angelokefalas3750]

Another Killer Video Brother! Sam/Life makes some great decks, Nice wood too! Keep Bringing the Heat! 👊🔥🤘

[@Brusselsproutsk8]

That board looks lush! 👌 Am I right in saying the graphic is screen printed? Riding a Powell reissue Nitro Flame 9.3" with 58mm Spitfire Classics and Indy 159's, big boards for big boys.

[@ZackDowdy]

Yes!

[@Benwinch07]

They aren’t screen printed, they’re Lino stamped. He has a few artists who carve the stamps by hand and Sam roll ink onto them and transfers to wood

[@solidbluebrian]

Looks like the nose from the Andy Anderson deck & I was just thinking how dope it’d be to have a twin nose version of the AA deck… and here it is! (basically) definitely gonna check this deck out at some point!

[@sebastienbegin2948]

congrats on your new skate boat!

[@linusricard]

What size are those wheels you're riding? And what size are those new Elites?

[@ZackDowdy]

52mm & 56mm

[@vernonmurphy5053]

Just don't know if anyone asked but why the tape on shoes, do u just do it when u got new grip to save shoes?

[@DeadPool632]

That jersey barrier obstacle is cool

[@Arkangel77]

Love these Life boards!

[@RickySaintClair]

They seem so legit. Spoke to the owner on a FB skate group about making my son his first skateboard! Seems like an incredibly good guy. Can’t wait to take a trip to visit their HQ

[@ZackDowdy]

That's so dope! Rad part about LIFE is you get to have interaction with the person making your board.

[@louan_lg]

good thing you put a helmet on park ! is it a new thing ?

[@kylewattssurfing3266]

Super dooooppppeeee informativeeee yeeeeeaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!!

[@drizzlestank]

I rep them. The knuckleheads are so far superior to the andy anderson flight decks. Hand cut, hand rolled glue, even hand stenciled graphics to avoid warping during heat transfer. Each board is made to order, custom to your preference and if it's not out of reason add any preferences in the notes and if it's possible they accomodate. take a moment and put together a dream board on the site and see if you can't stop yourself by the time you hit the cart. I have been riding for over 25 years. These boards strength, pop, shape all superior to anything I've ridden. The first one I rode I cracked three times and still popped like the day I assembled it. Price is the same range as a madness or heroin board but trust, I work at a skate shop. I sell them all. GET A LIFE!

[@samuelkoch349]

Drew I appreciate you more than you know bro!

[@andrew-zr1pf]

I loathe the Andy Anderson Flight shape but love the Flight decks. Would these decks pass the test of a car running over them like the Flight decks do?. Are they as strong as Flight decks and keep the pop like Flight decks do? I'm 95kg and can't skate anything else but Flights on big transition without the board flexing.

[@drizzlestank]

@@andrew-zr1pf A fair question I cannot honestly answer. Have never ran one over. The fiberglass decks do also seem to stand the test of time for most.

[@StephenPhipps-lv3nf]

My buddie Casper works for life there in Muncie Indiana I like the bow they have there and there boards are amazing I’ve only tried my buddies it felt amazing I need to get one myself

[@TheMarkarian13]

[@jamescontrino5099]

I like that

[@endthedrugwartoday]

Board size is irrelevant. What size is the wheel base? What is a 215 truck? Is that an Indy truck reference?

[@boram7367]

This is the same co.as in the 90 s?????

[@ShawnxEdge]

It’s a Mike V “barnyard” shape

[@samuelkoch349]

Much closer to a modern “double vision”

[@m47kr3nt0n]

You look just like Ben Mendelsohn.

[@BrendanBFree]

Lol, next grip graphic will be a soy latte!
