A diagonal cut out strip on the grip tape, on the tail.

Trucks smaller than deck, i don’t want to see the axle bolt even when bending down to pop

Loophole has eclipsed Dial Tone in street cred for me. But I prefer F4 because of the size. The F4 og classic is 99a. I need 101a 58mm tears.
If I loophole had a 58mm wheel I'd never skate another brand. There's no way I'm the only one who wants this. If I lived in SF I'd go to the package store and go to the office give everyone beers

Yes, but do they make a 58 in the teardrop shape?

- Standard grip on popsicles, 80s inspired grip on shaped decks
- Grip job has to be flawless, wouldn't be the first time that I ripped a fresh sheet off just because the store made a visible fold to make the sheet fit the package
- No grip nipples
- If I'm running rails on a setup, they need to be perfectly placed and parallel to the deck

I really dread gripping my decks as I'm way too much of a perfectionist about the proces. I don't care about getting it dirty/destroyed, as long as my grip job isn't to blame.
