The Best Skateboard In The World Just Got Better

[@overtonesnteatime198]

I just wanna come here and say something from my heart. I love this channel. I love it like a lot. for some people its a you tube channel, for me its a religious act. I watch it every single day and not because I have no life (I do have no life) but because It means a lot to me as a person and as someone who personally identifies as a skater4lyfe. I've mentioned to m friends before that I am super inspired to start my own channel and that alone has been brewing for months now (before that I was simply an avid watcher) I am ready to pickup a cheap camera and just start filming. So thank you. It's because of this channel and one other (the other channel is not a skateboarding channel). I'm not setting out to create the best content anyone has ever witnessed but I am confident that I can come up with interesting ideas for videos. Dan, your attitude alone has helped me make this decision. I have been seeking my dreams for too long. It's time to reach for the sky. This is the comment I hope to come back to in the future to look back on with sincere gratitude, Cheers all.

[@kenschicken4208]

Dan dude, I just want to send some love energy in your direction having just watched your video update on your health. Best wishes hope you find a treatment that works ❤

[@duhopie838]

Crazy the timing of this upload, I'm literally in the middle researching Flight decks seeing what all the hype is while trying make a decision on my first deck upon returning to skating. Been watching every upload for a year or two now and I assumed this was an old upload I missed/forgot, upon first glance. The alignment alone is telling me that I gotta do it. This upload and years of "Should've been a Flight deck" got Powel at least one new customer today. Also your strength through recent developments has really inspired me. I have a horrible phobia of all things medical infostructure, probably stemming from watching my dad deteriorate in Hospitals my whole life up until he passed about three years ago. I'm may not have the swiftest follow through, but seeing you take this in such stride has really opened my mind to the idea of being more proactive about my health. Skating again is actually my first small step in trying to be healthier, so it's like a double spear head attack of inspiration put into effect by you. Thank you for everything you do, Dan, I hope you're doing well.

[@joshuahanson8543]

I’ve been both thinking about getting one of these flight decks, AND wondering if anyone was ever going to have a slightly “spooned”/concaved nose and tail. You sold me on one of these with this vid! I just wish there was a visual comparison video of all the different shapes, similar to how Andy Anderson did a video showing and explaining all of his different deck shapes. Huge help to be able to see decks in a video rather than just the limited pics on the website. It’s nice to have an exact image of both the amount of concave and actual shapes of the nose and tail. Love what you’re doing for the skate community with all of your videos and explanations! 🤙

[@jhi-fly4awhiteguy]

[@booth403]

hell yeah, new shape time baby!!! Really looking forward to this one, sounds like all good things. Been riding the Heron 2 for a couple of years now, that more squared off tail/nose really makes things cozy.

[@SkateCrisis]

Looks nice.❤ Any twin shape coming from Powell other than Andy's boards?

[@StationaryRocketFlipChampion]

If you go on Powells website or SkateOne look for the K26 shape. It's the symmetrical shape. I was over there checking some out

[@richardbrewis436]

Radical low down on these decks! Totally Stoked to be a viewer and loyal fan of this Sick channel, Dan Corrigan🛹! Such a treat to watch u' sk8!tin'! Thanks for vloggin'!

Been riding the new 8.63 and I love it. I might be a flight deck guy now.

[@guzzitwin]

Glad you are skating again. Good break down of the new tech

[@TheDumbOx]

Glad to see you skating again. I like the consistent lines. Thanks

[@Funkhewould]

Flip strips under the grip on the edge of nose and tail? I mention since you mentioned. Glad you got a diagnosis brother. Prayers up for your health and healing.

[@spvidz]

Since I've started religiously watching your videos every day (been a few months now) I've been really keen on the idea of trying a flight deck. I think its going to be on the Christmas list! I don't know how you would benefit in any way but just wanted to say its your videos that have made me want one. Keep it up 🙌

[@TeddCookerly]

So stoked that the 8.75 is not on the 15" wheel base with the new Flight Decks...for sure picking on up. Thanks for the breakdown.

[@itisjustacomment]

My favourite cameraman is back, you work really well together

[@luccian0z]

You have such a “flowy” way of skating it’s astonishing to see you perform everytime you are a truly the best skater ever.

[@jacobpotter9714]

happy to see you skating again, hope you feel better and better

[@julesriehs1338]

That flat in the center with the tapering into the concave is def a game changer. I couldn’t even articulate why I didn’t like some boards I was riding and that’s totally it.

[@alexei4204]

bah! So good to see you back on the board and no worse for wear by the looks of it. Just don't underestimate the power of an impeccable diet for erasing any and all weird and difficult symptoms, even panic attacks or symptoms of any disease. That means you should work hard to avoid sugar (especially high fructose corn syrup), most sodas, candy, heat treated seed oils and all processed foods in general which are technically poisonous, pernicious and destructive to all organ systems, side effects being different for everybody. Eat whole foods and whole foods only and if you stick to it, which is extremely difficult, you will see results very quickly (weeks). good luck

[@diplenski]

The almost/dwindle/dsm impact decks are/were sick. I had a double impact for ten years and never broke it, though I slid through several plies in places. They are 7 plies maple and fiber/resin bits. Didn’t have much issue with fiber splinters, and they were only about ten or fifteen dollars more than a regular board. I loved how stiff they were without being too stiff and kept their pop. I’m 6’3 and 210ish down from 245. I would’ve bought 3 of them if I knew how good they were

[@mpawli10]

The changes you talked about sound really really rad honestly... il probably have to buy one of these to try it out

[@shingobiggs4963]

I would LOVE to see that blind test board testing. Hearing opinions from team riders would be so sick

GREAT VIDEO DAN. I LOVE THE BOARD COMPARISON REVIEW. GLAD THAT AFTER ALL THIS TIME, YOU HAVE BECOME WELL ENOUGH TO SKATE. YOU LOOK VERY COMFORTABLE SKATING DUDE. YOU SEEM AT PEACE WITHIN YOURSELF. YOUR SKILLS WILL IMPROVE QUICKLY. I AM PROUD OF YOU DAN. YOU ARE A ROLE MODEL. LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOUR NEW VIDS FRIEND.

[@richsoryu]

I recently switched from the purple 244 shape (8.5 wide with 14.375 wb) to the new 243W shape (8.38 with 14.25 wb). This to me is the perfect combination of old guy street and transition board. One thing I noticed a lot about this shape switch flip tricks flip a little better for me with the new nose shape since I pop switch off the nose. I also like the short fingers of flat (big motivator for trying the shape) because of steeper kick feel and the get in/get out feel of grinds and slides. The shape reminds me a lot of the Real 8.38 SE shape which I like a lot (regular one that is more tapered with a 14.25 wb, not the full SE). Nice to see Powell bringing back a little bit of concave in the nose and tail too. That was one of my favorite things about Powell boards in the 90s because it always made the nose and tail feel very secure when floating through the air between the pop and the slide.

[@philipchaplin116]

Real nice skating Dan. I think this new flight deck is poss your perfect fit

[@Jim-g3q]

Yaaaaass I would definitely buy the new 88a dragons once I get a word from you about them! There just hasn't been a real breakdown yet...

[@jacobhope4657]

You look so happy to be back skating again.

[@Love4boost]

Thanks for bringing up LibTech. I was starting to think I’m one of the few who remembers those boards. Maybe it was more of a north east thing in 01’ because you can’t even find stuff on google about it. Kinda like the Baker New Wave, Element Featherlight. I’m sure there was more who tried to make a longer lasting board and pop back then

[@chrisbambrough5048]

Loved my old Lib Tech deck when it first came out but the delam was so bad after a couple weeks, the whole top sheet just came off!

[@AlexNiedt]

Best for me is the Girl/Chocolate Pop Secret decks. The carbon fiber layer is on the top, so you're still popping off wood, so it just feels like skating a really crispy normal board that just happens to never break.

[@estevaotempski4742]

SO hyped on these!. Took me a bit to get them because they didnt have 8.38 untill this last drop

[@frankiew311]

Is powell ever going to release Chris's deck? I think powell would make so much cash if they did a few of those 80s shapes in flight technology. Have you skated the 88a 40mm wide wheels? Absolutely love those!

[@jDDignity]

An Am needs to turn pro for him having his name on a personal board! So before that, there isn't anything confirmed..

[@no_1_knoz]

7:50- Dan spilling 🫘 without spilling 🫘, ‘very very sneaky’ 😏

[@illagevidiot8254]

I've had two flight decks. My first one cracked, but it retained its pop perfectly. It was amazing. My second one delaminated and exploded into a million pieces on the kickflip side of the nose (regular). Within a year of mild skating. Maybe 3-4 times a month. The weave on the inside was sticking out and I really was concerned about getting fiber slivers from it. It was basically unskateable anyway. Not saying I'll never have a flight board, but I've switched to the kevin harris board, not of my own volition, its just what ultimate distribution had for me. I like it a lot though. I wanted another flight deck.

[@TimHesse]

Got one, just glad PP is make an 8.38 (and with a 14.25"WB) now! That flat in the middle concave is very very much like the VX concave.

[@HumanNamedChristian]

@@himebaughchris4026 yup bonite was awful. So was foam and polyglass. Uncle wiggly had a few experiments that sucked.

[@Greldek]

if nothing crazy happens , how long do you think a flight deck lasts you usually ?

[@DarkoNomad]

I'm curious why my flight deck was chipping much easier than my VX deck. Anyway it would be good to have twin tail version of flight deck also.

[@puls3illegalmusic]

Dan have you ever tried the Qwik trucks? You mentioned having a quiver of wheels, and having the different wheels already assembled on multiple trucks and being able to quickly swap them out seems like a dream.

[@devondolan3886]

some spicy lines there dude

[@Melskeybored]

Dan, just got one of these in, but mines had a huge slit on the top ply , looked like broken glass . I took a few picture , threw on grip tape and it seems to flex more on that side (nose) than the tail so I’m wondering if the slit compromised the deck and if I should have just sent it back for a return but I was so ready to get back on a board I wanted to see if it was okay , I have pictures and videos ima upload on my page soon

[@nicolasandreason5632]

❤u Dan! How you feel good enough to skate Tanpa!

[@4drturbo85]

What about the tail? Is it a smaller tail or a bigger tail for easier tail sides?

[@GDT1985]

Can they make one in twin tail? I've been using the Vajra and I'm not sure I want to go back to an unsymmetrical deck.

[@StuffnThings42]

I’ve been riding Andy Anderson’s new deck. At first I didn’t understand it and didn’t know what I was going to do with it. But I kept riding it and now I love it. It still has pop and has lasted a long time. I already have a new one lined up for when I feel like this one is finally dead. The flight deck technology is legit. 👍

[@mpawli10]

Good skating btw 🏆‼️

[@dahdank707]

Those new graphics are sick. I got the red 8.38 flight deck after I saw this. Sold 👍

[@rogerdavis9962]

🤘💪 Great sesh homie

[@Seejakeskate]

A Corrigan flight deck would be so sick!

[@JulesInfinite888]

Built in rails, middle and around nose/ tail ? Plastic bottom layer?

[@BangerangBen]

The flight decks are pretty awesome. I have never skated one though, I prefer an all wood skateboard with an old school shape to it. But then again I am not a street or tech skater, I only skate about twice a month and prefer skating bowls and small transition.

[@Pumbafb]

Does Powell have a 8.25 with a 14” WB in a flight deck?

[@Meandmybrother12345]

It's great to hear they've added the spoon nose. Team hopefully won't need the flip strips anymore

[@kevinmorrice]

my question is, will there ever be a shaped deck version, i love the tech, but i hate the feel of popsicle decks under my feet

[@r1ky_solis4022]

The new bone design is awesome

Yoo, thx for video man.

[@666nacirema666]

Ive road the libtech boards for years. Been trying out some of the newer composite type boards for a couple years now. Flight Decks are probably going to become my go to once this last libtech dies on me or at least wears out to the point I cant ride it any longer.

[@666nacirema666]

Do they have a totally symmetrical flight deck yet?

[@SocioGPT]

They send this stuffs to brasil bro?

Damn this board looks great, hope we get some soon in Europe def gonna pick one up

I remember a buddy had a LibTech 20+ years ago... I think it was a 7.25" lol Those were the days.

[@JustinReyes-y2r]

What’s the shape? I was looking and there seems to be several shape numbers available

[@Actual_Gabe]

is this new board a twin or does it have a nose and tail?

[@justinp913]

Is this considered the 243W shape?

[@kiltysalter2966]

Hopefully these have made it to my end of Oz by the time I wear out the one I’m riding. The loss of stiffness really bothers me.
