    I literally just followed them on IG this morning and was checking out the football shapes. So much customization and it's all hand done which is insane in this day and age but so hyped they have so much involvement in their product.

    I'm from southern Indiana and there are a couple dudes here sponsored by Life. They seem like a really cool company. I've never actually rode one before, but have picked up many decks at a shop nearby. They are unlike any other boards I've seen. The shapes are CRAZY but they seem totally versatile. And the coolest part is the texture on the graphic side of the board. You can almost FEEL the graphic. It is very cool.

    This is so sick. I love Sam's boards! I've been to Life and Sam let me sk8 his personal bowl. Learned how to drop in on a deep bowl there. I'm hyped to see his boards on your channel! Great boards by great people

    More than once- I’ve had friends like “DUDE 215s DUDE 215s DUDE 215s!!!” Sick ass front layback grind at the beginning too- always thought that was a super super athletic trick- but I dig the ones that are “more front tail/less grind” and you got it Z

    Just setup a set of Indy 215s on a Heroin Dead Dave 10 inch board, it weighs a ton but looks absolutely great.
    Unfortunately I'm still recovering from a broken ankle so I haven't had the chance to take it out for a ride yet haha :-D
    Keep it up Zack!

    Looks like the nose from the Andy Anderson deck & I was just thinking how dope it’d be to have a twin nose version of the AA deck… and here it is! (basically) definitely gonna check this deck out at some point!

  • @drizzlestank

    I rep them. The knuckleheads are so far superior to the andy anderson flight decks. Hand cut, hand rolled glue, even hand stenciled graphics to avoid warping during heat transfer. Each board is made to order, custom to your preference and if it's not out of reason add any preferences in the notes and if it's possible they accomodate. take a moment and put together a dream board on the site and see if you can't stop yourself by the time you hit the cart. I have been riding for over 25 years. These boards strength, pop, shape all superior to anything I've ridden. The first one I rode I cracked three times and still popped like the day I assembled it. Price is the same range as a madness or heroin board but trust, I work at a skate shop. I sell them all. GET A LIFE!

      I loathe the Andy Anderson Flight shape but love the Flight decks. Would these decks pass the test of a car running over them like the Flight decks do?. Are they as strong as Flight decks and keep the pop like Flight decks do? I'm 95kg and can't skate anything else but Flights on big transition without the board flexing.

    • @drizzlestank

      @@andrew-zr1pf A fair question I cannot honestly answer. Have never ran one over. The fiberglass decks do also seem to stand the test of time for most.

    Board size is irrelevant. What size is the wheel base? What is a 215 truck? Is that an Indy truck reference?
