Discovered at a Virginia Beach contest by Lance, a young Mike Vallely was asked to join the Powell-Peralta team and quickly rose to fame as a premier street skater. After initially rejecting the Roach graphic, Vallely worked closely with VCJ on an elephant theme. Mike and his elephant deck were both very popular.

*Given the nature of the foil and the manufacturing process, slight variations and minor imperfections are perfectly normal.
**If you don’t plan on skating this deck, please handle carefully when removing from the packaging. The ink/foil adhesion is delicate and can be easily scratched.
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.
Features:
- Width : 8.38"
- Length : 32.08"
- Wheelbase : 14.25"
- Construction: FLIGHT
- Concave : K26
- Shape : 243W
- Nose : 6.94"
- Tail : 6.69"
- Construction : 7-Ply Maple
