Griptape Question
« on: January 12, 2011, 10:04:04 PM »
What does it mean when you grip your board like this? I remember seeing SF skaters back in the day doing this as well as Pops and Wenning. Wenning mentioned it in that video where he's in his basement going through old boards. There has to be more to it than distinguishing the nose from the tail.

I think it's more of an analogy.

It gives you more balance and energy, if you put your grip like that for 8 weeks, you'll become pro no doubt

It means if no one answers your stupid ass questions in less than 18 minutes and 51 seconds they deserve to be insulted.
