It’s not often you see Tom Penny in an advert but this morning he heads up a P2 advert for Flip Skateboards with his crew to discuss the importance of what’s under his feet right now. The Flip website has announced this week that the classic Cheech and Chong decks that have been reprinted are now legal, with both tokers now aware and happy that their classic marijuana mugshots are happily represented on Flip wood.

The Berrics were quoted to say last month that Nyjah Huston‘s Rise and Shine section dropping on 11.11.11 was “going to be a defining moment in skateboarding.” Today, you can find out for yourself but expect greatness. It’s only 8.30am when I write this but already the internet has spoken with rumours that this section is ‘bonkers’.
See for yourself and find out more from here later. You can download it for £1.49 from i-Tunes from today or £1.99 in HD.
Deluxe wood is premium manufacturing made with the finest Canadian maple money can buy. There is no middle ground here. If you ride DLX, you are riding the crest of skateboarding.
Tony’s board is no exception. It’s a beast to say the least, but at 8.38″, it’s still very manageable on street as it is deep in the cradle. The length of the deck is 32”, pretty much what you would expect from a rig this size. I will say that I spent most of my time on the Love Toy enjoying the ever increasing number of decent bowls popping up around London this Autumn, however, I have taken to street with it and it felt equally as good. I am past the days of rails and stairs, but for cruising banks, curbs and hills, it’s a fine piece of wood.
Anti Hero remains one of my more preferred decks when it comes to choice for me. Their consistency in superiority is comforting and you know Cards would never ride anything but the best. Trust you instinct and get onto it before it’s too late.
