Flip Skateboards isn't just a company; it’s a dynasty. Since landing in the US in 1994, the brand has consistently curated the most elite teams in skateboarding history. At The Drop, we recognize Flip as a brand that bridges the gap between the raw street skating of the 90s and the high-performance technicality of today. For the Grande Prairie skate community, Flip represents a standard of quality that can handle everything from the local park to the crustiest street spots.
The HKD Logo and Artistic Heritage
The HKD (Hardcore Skateboards) logo is one of the most recognizable marks in the world. It symbolizes a time when Flip took over the industry with their "Sorry" video trilogy. Beyond the classic logos, Flip is famous for their artistic graphics and the legendary Tom Penny mushroom and cheech-and-chong inspired series. Whether you're looking for a clean team board or a graphic that pays homage to skate royalty, Flip offers a look that is instantly respected at any spot.
Advanced Construction and Technical Shapes
Flip is committed to the science of the skate deck. Every board is pressed using high-quality 7-ply North American Maple, ensuring a consistent concave and a "snap" that lasts. We carry a variety of Flip shapes, from the technical 8.0" popsicles preferred by flip-trick specialists to the wider 8.5" and 8.75" decks favored by transition and bowl riders. Their wood is known for its durability and resistance to pressure cracks, making it a reliable choice for the heavy hitters.
A Team of Legends and Modern Rippers
The influence of Flip is felt through its riders. From the effortless style of Tom Penny and the raw "SOTY" power of Geoff Rowley to modern icons like Luan Oliveira, the brand is built on the feedback of the world's best. This professional input ensures that the kick, concave, and wheelbase of every Flip deck are dialed in for maximum performance. When you step on a Flip board, you are riding decades of refined skate engineering.
