Fucking Awesome Deck AVE Inverted Vision (8.5) delivers the kind of visual chaos and precision performance that defines both Anthony Van Engelen and the FA legacy. The bottom graphic is a stacked, inverted photo-collage that feels intentionally disorienting—layers of distorted imagery, heat-blown tones, reversed color fields, and surreal textures collide from nose to tail. It reads like a corrupted film reel: raw, confrontational, and unmistakably Fucking Awesome. Subtle details like the embossed “Fucking Awesome” lettering pressed into the bottom add a tactile edge that elevates the deck beyond a standard graphic.
Built on Shape #1, the original FA/Hockey mold, this board features a steeper concave paired with the signature shovel-style nose, offering explosive pop, quick flick, and locked-in control on impact. At 8.5" x 31.91" with a 14.25" wheelbase, it’s dialed for powerful street skating—stable enough for big gaps and fast lines, while still responsive for tech-heavy sequences. Whether you’re charging crusty alleys, floating stair sets, or carving familiar concrete around the SGV and greater LA, this shape thrives under speed and commitment.
Anthony Van Engelen—born in San Diego, California—is one of the most influential skaters of his generation. Now based in Los Angeles, AVE’s skating is defined by relentless power, zero hesitation, and an unmatched ability to make the hardest terrain look routine. As a founding pillar of Fucking Awesome, alongside Jason Dill, AVE helped shape the brand’s identity into what it is today: uncompromising skating backed by aggressive, often polarizing visuals. Beyond FA, his longtime support includes Vans and Spitfire Wheels, reinforcing his reputation as a skater’s skater whose influence runs deep through modern street skating.
