Powell Peralta Skeleton Flight Decks are part of their Flight® line, known for being thinner, stronger and more durable than traditional skateboard decks. These decks are made with advanced materials like American hard maple, high-strength fiberglass and epoxy resin, giving them an "eternal pop" that won't fade over time.
Skeleton Flight Decks come in a variety of colors and sizes, and feature a symmetrical double kick mold with a medium-to-mellow concave, which produces smoother and more precise flips. The decks are designed to optimize flex and pop, making them ideal for higher ollies and faster flips.

In 1986 jump ramps were all the rage. Easy to build, portable and fun to launch off of. Unfortunately, decks were snapping left and right. Powell-Peralta deck returns were so high the company sought ways to make decks stronger and more resistant to jump breaks. One solution was Bonite construction. Another was the "Gee-Gaw" shape which had bumps to reinforce the break zone area. Why "Gee-Gaw?" Ash Chris Iverson. This shape was also used for the Ripper graphic. They were produced between 1987 and 1988.
About the art:
The Rodriguez "Skull & Sword" deck was the first pro signature deck graphic produced by Powell-Peralta. The graphic was conceived by Ray and Illustrated by V.C. Johnson with art direction from George Powell in 1979

*Due to the nature of foil during the production process, you may notice some faint lines or subtle inconsistencies. This is completely 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.
