Apparently some people think the new Flip P2 deck's are just a gimmick, but if they were just a gimmick I don't think that the whole team would be riding them. What do you think about all of it?

"After several years of development, P2 (Pro-2) construction has been created as the next level in skateboard decks.

P2 technology includes an oval-shaped [aramid] fiber reinforcement panel, which enhances the natural performance and pop of a wood laminate skateboard.(see decktop image)

The oval shape is designed to spread stresses and loads throughout the entire deck, versus around only the areas closest to the trucks.

The P2 construction provides exceptional added resilience to the deck creating a Spring Loaded Pop effect. , but and P2 decks are thinner and lighter than old fashioned 7-ply wood skateboards.

The Aramid fiber used to make P2 decks is expensive stuff, but Spring Loaded Pop is priceless! "
