"I think most skaters know how much a gram weighs" i love this dude

"most skateboarders know what a gram is". you cheeky devil

The only skateboarder youtuber to ACTUALLY mention the tensile strength when explaining carbon fiber in skateboards. You're a beast.

Lmfao us skaters definitely know how much a gram weights 😂

He seems like a dope ass guy like one of the og’s you meet at a skate park then never see again

I'm amazed the flight deck came in weighing almost the same as a normal deck. My flight deck feels so much lighter than a normal deck, but I am pretty sensitive to a missing a gram ;)

Your videos are great Ben. Thanks for taking the time and putting in the effort to do what you do. Best wishes!

As weighting 240 this board got me back to skate after 20 years. Thanks Powell&Peralta

i can watch these over n over and just get comforted by Ben's awesome demeanor AND get psyched to skate.

Thank you for making me smile with the gram comment mr and your videos are great. Some people probably won’t say the same, but you and Braille and a few other KZfaq sites have got me back into boarding again 🤟🏻 I’m old now and wasn’t very good as a kid but before I’m 40 I want to kick flip !

I just recently found your channel and it makes me so stoked to go outside and skate! Keep it up!

I'm a simple Ben Degros fan , i click like before watch the video

I been waking up to your videos everyday ..thanks ben for taking time out of your life to do these informative hilarious videos

As always, your skating is so satisfying to watch, especially the hip and ledge session. And hey, those front crooks are coming in!

Had the pulled in nose shape. It has the same concave and steepness you described. The board lasted me a while. Thanks for all the videos!

Ledge montage at 7:24 got me hyped! Nice review as always Ben. I gotta try one of these, I hate snapping boards...

Hey Ben, I think I speak for a lot of people when I say I very much appreciate both your skating and construction videos. I’m both a carpenter and a skater as well and have seen dozens and dozens of your videos and they are never a waste of time. You explain and help me to understand things In a clear concise way that I can easily wrap my head around. So thank you for that. Maybe you’ve already done a video explaining this and can just send a link, but if not, I wanted to ask you. After riding all these different decks and doing so many reviews, what deck in particular do you find yourself always coming back to? Do you have a favorite? Or maybe a few favorites that you like best for different reasons. May not be an easy question but I’d like to know as I trust your judgement and opinions.

Just got back into skating (@45 😬) . This is the deck I decided to go with. Overall I really like it. Feels good. Although, I was working on my ollies last night and bit it pretty hard. Goodbye wrist. I guess now all I can do is set around and watch your videos until I heal back up. You've got good content man. Subbed.

I know it’s been said a few times already but 1:26 made me crack up. You’re the best. Great review 👌🏻 you rip Ben

I've been watching you drywall as I remodel my guest room and now we're skating together as well. Mind blown.

I been watching for a couple month and i can really see progess in your skating. Impressive

Thanks for putting this review out, been thinking about trying their decks. This helped make a decision

This is the best review I’ve ever seen about a skateboard product.

1:23 LMAOOOOO you got my sub just because of this joke, great review and content bro

Awesome review!! I had skeptical thoughts about the Powell flight decks being soggy and I'm glad I got your take on it, though!

Shout out to my homie background Asian man

By far my favorite skate channel

Yes more shapes are needed ... indeed. Much anticipation. Much. Please Powell diversify the shape of the flight!

and the second noseslide nollie heel was fine! keep killing it man

Yes! I've been waiting for this one. Watching now.

OMG you live in Richmond!! Thanks for your review it's helpful! Hope I could meet u in Richmond skatepark!!

Finally I know why they put rebars into concrete :) Thanks so much for the explaination!

Killing it as always Ben!

Nice video and great explanation of it's durability.

Just a recommendation for skating mellower tails. What gave me the taste for mellower tails was this. I would place my backfoot not on the very end of the tail when popping like I used to. I placed it more in the middle or towards the truck, it gives you more pop! And it allowed me to jump higher with my body while popping. Gave me more control as well. I saw that foot placement from watching some pros. A lot of pros do this.

I love your videos Ben keep up the great work. Also would like to mention the 3 stair at 9:30 is perfect. As someone who only has a two stair and a 5 stair to skate I would kill to be able to have something in the middle of 2 and 5 so I could gain some confidence for the 5 😂.

Can't wait for the Supra Elevate review, though!!

holy shit, i didn’t expect to suddenly see my local once u got to the review bit lol. that’s poulsbo skatepark

I'm a dedicated Baker user but I still watch all your reviews anyway. Love the content dude! I'm 23 and just got back into skating after a 7 year hiatus and your channel really brings some inspiration! Keep it up man

Nice video! You're lucky that you have some good spots and parks. Not much in my city. Have to travel a little bit to get to a good spot.

I’ve had 2 the original brad McClain and this new graphic already best boards I’ve ridden they have lasted me about 7-8 weeks never go soggy and dead at all takes a bit to get use to it but I love them now I won’t go back to normal board lasting 2-3 weeks I’m hooked on them well worth the extra $ as for me I would get 2-3 boards to 1 flight deck definatly recommend everyone treat themselves to one 👍

Just subbed. Love the way ur videos are made.

Learned a lot about concrete in this video, thanks.

You should review an almost Uberlite deck!!! Love the videos, you shred like a boss🤘

Great review! Very thorough. I'd love to see a review of a hemp skateboard deck if you get a chance. Saw recently that there are some companies making them now. Cheers!

nice this made me wanna try out a powell flight deck now

Ty for the good review! Please make a review or a comparison between the flight deck and an almost doubble impact deck. Love from Switzerland

Nice! Love the wheels too.

good useful review as always.Oh, and nice shirt

Good review, I have been skating REAL boards. I like the mellow concave. I am a fellow older skater. Just subscribed. great videos.

I skate a Flight K242 Shape and have access to K247 (same width, pointier nose and tail, same concave and feel). The K247 is lighter per a few grams and there is very little difference in the actual feel of the board, with are both equipped with tensor maglight regular 5.25 trucks and 50mm wheels (95A and 83B). I had to get used to them to make them pop really good, took me a few sessions, but that might just be me. I found out that my k242 is about 50 grams heavier than a very similar sized and shaped 7ply maple deck, i could also weigh a 70g difference between the K243 deck (8.25) and a similar shaped, but slightly longer mullen deck from almost, and i mean 70g more weight of the considerably thinner flight deck. I like the stiffness and flexiness, which is explained in a very good way in your video.

I love your videos, man. I'm 34 and just got back into skateboarding almost a year ago, but it's been so long it's like starting from scratch. I'm loving it though! I really appreciate your channel. I'm a dad and also a carpenter and sometimes when I watch your videos I'm like, "this is so freaky it's like watching myself". Anyway, sorry for the fan rant. I am wondering what wheels you are riding in this video.

having skated lib tech and an impact support deck I feel this would be worth the money. I'm creating a website and your information has made me think outside the box in terms of technology and specs. Lib tech makes a great design but can cause splinters if you smash the nose or tail up. I've snapped an impact support in one day which was discouraging. This is a technology I'm seriously considering as I don't skate as much as I used to.

You are my official to guy for reviews.

Love the colour of those wheels

Holy shit mate this is the best skate deck review iv ever seen. Nice 1 man. :)

Another great vid. Thanks Ben. Have you skated a "double impact" deck from dwindle distribution? How do you think they compare? They have similar tech in them but at a regular price.

Great reviews no ego no bs

Great review Ben! :)

Good review and good skating!

First like then watch cause a Ben video is for sure a good video. Anyway I just realized I got so used to the flatness of the toy machine that the Real I got seems so steep I can't do stuff...I think I'm a mellow guy hahahaha and if it wasn't for the price I would buy a flight Much love from Italy ❤️ keep killing it Ben

I'm considering a FLIGHT deck for the quality, and longevity second. A brand new board is always Exciting! *Powell Peralta* has always been great and I want The Best!

Thank You for your reviews! I bought an 8.0 but they run like 7.75. If you skate 8.125 or 8 then buy an 8.25 of the flight deck. But the board has last months to a friend that I sold it. Is a good board but a little flat or almost not concave.

you're the man Ben!

Just got the feeling thay i wanted to start skating thanks for the vid im prolly gonna get this one

I loved my Powell mini logos with hella concave and black magic grip

Dude that’s so funny Ben! I’m skateboarding a flight deck right now and I feel the exact same, we should trade decks mines the steeper one it’s really good but I’m not a custom to this shape, grate review btw skate soon! When I’m back in Vancouver:)

Love your reviews man. Would love to hear what you think about the Welcome deck shapes and feel.

Hey Ben! Your reviews are really informative, would you say the Santa Cruz VX deck and the Almost impact protect have similar constructions. I snap my nose/tail a lot, would either one of these choices work?

Was not expecting Raab park!!! Haven’t been there in like 15 years!

Reinforced Concrete deputy inspector/ skateboard enthusiast watching your channel / subscribed . Good lesson about tensile & compressive strength . The video Work is acceptable and approved to skate or die

8:00 canadians be like “oh it’s cloudy out, perfect day to sungaze eh?”

One of the best decks ever, along with the Element Fiberlight, Planet Earth Blue Core, and Dwindles Impact decks.

I like how real you are

Hey Ben I just noticed there’s a video in your skate trucks playlist that’s a bit out of place. Love the channel!

Great review. I would like to see a resin 7 review one day

I wonder what the differences of the Powell Flight shapes 243 and 248 are, I know one looks wider on the website but what are the benefits.

I just passed my Mechanics of Materials class last semester and that little tensile strength of concrete and steel was a good little review of one of my final questions 😂

I literally snapped two element decks in a hour today. One was brand new too. So just ordered one of these to see if it will last me longer as I tend to be a heavy lander

perfect timing im thinking about getting one

reminds me of the Almost Über decks with their carbon fiber insert. I didn't think this technology would go anywhere but nice to see that is does or at least get's utilized by others. nice video :)

Hi Ben, is that first location with many quarter pipes around Vancouver? Thanks.

Yes. Please. Fight deck with steeper concave, nose, and tail... Plus blunt them (no taper)

What shoes are u skating there? Is there gonna be a review too?

The carpenter always measuring everything 😂😂😂😂

I skate them pretty hard and they last 5 -6 months even worn in and razor tailed they still have amazing pop.

Damn you must go thru decks like crazy.

Hey, Ben! Which Thunders do you ride? His or Lows?!

nice quiet town you live in, eh. bloody sweet skateboarding. I am going to search for one of those decks. maybe

Reminds me of Powell's old bonite boards. They would chip to shit in record time. They were hard to break but that hardly matterd when your tail would get axed to crap in the blink of an eye.

Awesome concrete slab review. More videos please. But ditch the skateboard part.

Steve caballero said he will never go back to riding normal 7 ply boards

Thanks for the review, especially the shocking weighing results! :) I got this as my first deck because I weigh 230lbs, kind of a no-brainer, to not fear about breaking my board all the time. I did get indys after listening to the shop's advice. I have no point of reference whatsoever so we'll see... Waiting for my helmet so I've only cruised with it. So far I can't feel any flex like at all. Really stiff.

I use these “boards” as the blades for my ceiling fans. Very stylish.

Would love to see a Lib Tech and Tensor all terrain / krux DL kingpin review :)

and this little skateparks pyramid in the woods is officially D O N E . Those switchflips over the hip Ben... weeeew

that dude walking by was mad doggin hardcore.

What would you say is better/more durable and has the best pop. Real or Flip decks? I've broken a few Real boards but that's because I'm a bit of a burly boy.

Sorry about this question, but I'm considering buying a deck as a gift and not being skater I honestly don't know if Powell-Peralta Skateboard Flight Deck (8.45" - Andy Heron Skull) deck is better or same with Powell Peralta Flight McClain Tiger Shape 24 8.25 Skateboard Deck? I understand it's different size, but skater to whome this gift is intended said that he likes anything from 8.25 to 8.5, being a 195cm tall with US11 shoe size. Can anyone tell me which one would be a better choice? He uses skateboard mostly for street and ocassionally park tricks.

29 years old, picked up skating again a year and half ago after getting burned out, man if that was a good decision! I'm considering getting a flight deck but I am a little hesitant. It seem to me that thought the flight decks don't snap/break easily (which isn't my problem, I'm a very light dude) it seems that they still razor tail and chip away just as easily as a normal 7-ply deck, is that correct? I spend most of my time practicing flip tricks, so I was hoping that a flight deck might allow me to do so longer before having to switch board, but it seems like this type of board is most beneficial for people who frequently snap their boards. Would love to hear your thoughts on this! :)
