I fully agree it feels perfect from the start, BUT it's still the worst grip I've ever used. Gonna re-grip for the first time ever today because the deck is still super fine but there is zero grip left. Never had anything like that happen before. It's not a super long lasting deck either, just a standard krooked deck I've been riding for 3 weeks now.
This griptape does everything extremely well except actually being grippy for longer than 1-2 weeks. Do not recommend at all.
Great for pro skaters, shit for everyone else
