this shit has gotten very wack (pink grip/see through grip/pizza topping grip). So I want to know what trends do you think are cool and what aren't? I thought that east coast thing was cool when dudes would cut a sliver of the grip away at the bottom side of the board...but I never understood why it was done.

Back in my day we had to staple sheets of sandpaper to the bottom of our feet in order to get a grip.

I have to buy sheets of plain black Mob in bulk because the local shop only ever has Charles Manson, weed leaves, unicorns, pizza, and Shake Junt grip. A 13 year old's grip tape wet dream.
-
I don't get all the current grip trends. They just seem distracting. I go straight black, sometimes with a line near the back bolts.

Shoes are hardly 3 times more expensive over here. Maybe he was poor at the time or maybe it's just cuz he's Gou. Either way skating without griptape, and doing the tricks he does, is no joke!
-
that Miyagi tape is amazing
I don't usually do anything to my grip. I do the occasional grip gap where the logo is, and I've wanted to write some things on my grip if I could, but I never have deco markers. Some people do some really cool shit with the see through grip
-
plain black mob is all i can deal with, anything else throws me off.

Try to say "grip tape trends" 10 times as fast as you can. I keep saying grip chrape chens.

Straight black, use my keys to etch an X in the middle of the bolts on the tail.

I've seen white grip on instagram, gross. Also a full sheet of clear grip. is naw.
I actually really wanted star wars grip but can't get down with paying 12$ for it, when regular grip is free.

I always hear "EMB stripe"
-
I have a friend who always does this. I used to do it too but I also backed it off about half an inch from the end of my nose. I got an alien board off a dude a long time ago who did it. I really liked the board so I just stuck with it as a mental thing.
Lately I'm just leaving a gap in the middle of the board since Quasi usually has something interesting on the top ply.
And MOB because the grip stays grippy.

Usually if there's a top graphic I'll try and cut around that.
Currently rocking the grip over the bolts á la Danny Garcia. I like it.

I never knew this was an East coast thing, but makes sense because i do it. I always did it to tell the difference from nose and tail, still carry out the tradition to this day.
Edit: also always only black grip. other shit is whack.

He probably has a million stories. One of the things I've read is that he does it to prevent damaging spots with darkslides.

I've definitely been a bit more on the crazy side with my grip lately, a bit of pink here and there, some clear, some cutouts etc when I have ideas I want to try. I think most of it comes from me getting a bit bored with straight black grip for so many boards. Since I'm switching boards so often, and the board graphic is changing, might as well do something a little different to the top from time to time. For me, it's not that distracting, doesn't affect my skating at all, it seems to distract people around me more. Can't go wrong with straight black though.
-
Plain black is never acceptable. When you're skating fast and doing lines yo need an indicator so you know what end is the tail
-
To each his own I guess, I personally like to add some patterns/designs here and there especially if there's a rad top graphic I'm trying to keep visible.

This shit has been bothering me for at least 6 months:
In his BobShirt interview, Pappalardo refers to 'World Grip.' I'm assuming this has something to do with what the world industries camp skaters did with griptape in the early 90's, however, I'm not old enough to have been skating then. For some reason, I want to say that it's cutting the grip tape so that the concaved part of the board is not covered with griptape. I feel like this sounds absolutely nuts, but seems like It'd be much more feasible to do back in the early 90's-pre 8.0 board era...
If it isn't that, perhaps the reason I always assumed that's what he meant was because one his griptape in that nollie heelflip frontside noseslide in that line at LOVE looked so sick the 1,000s' of times I watched that part right after I started skating.
Tl; dr - What does Popps mean when talking about 'World Grip' doe?

are you aware that you're following a trend?

Kids around here are putting clear grip on with Pokemon cards underneath it. I wish I was joking.

Kids go crazy for glitter grip here. It seriously looks like a 1st grade art project. I'll snap a pic when I get into the shop.

I didn't see Pappalardo's interview but I've been skating since the late 80's and if he's talking about what I think, "World grip" was die cut griptape that World Industries released in the late 80's/early 90's (pre Love Child) that had either a cut out devil pitchfork or a silhouette of the Morton Salt girl.
Oops, now I watched the interview and it doesn't sound like he's referring to the die cut grip from back then. Maybe it was a term used among his crew of friends back in the day referring to a way to cut grip but I don't know outside of what I remember World actually selling in those days.
-

reminds me of baseball cards in bicycle spokes. sounds kinda cool. "gotta holographic charizard in your deck?"hah
-
I always thought the "I do it to separate the nose from the tail" card was complete bs. I have always been able to tell just from it feels standing on it or how rounded one side gets from skating compared to the other........but seriously does anyone know how the 'east coast line' originated? Please don't tell me that it was to know which side was the nose etc....
-
Probably to make it easier to flick off for kickflips and other flip tricks since there is less grip in the corner? That's just my guess.
And it's always gotta be solid black for me with no lines or cutouts. I use a coloured bolt up front so I don't need no lines to help me differentiate the nose from the tail.
-
Skateboarding is the best trend I ever started following.
-
I always thought world grip was the three patches of grip because you couldn't find a sheet long enough to grip the whole board. But yeah, I do remember the line down the right-hand side. I always do all black over the bolts with a very thin vertical/ horizontal line so that I can differentiate nose from tail
-
"World Grip" = 4 squares
-
I just use black grip, but there were a couple boards where I had white griptape because i was skating white shoes. I think it looks cool

I dig graphic grip from time to time depending on the deck i pick at the moment, but graphic grip has gotten way out of hand! Kids at my shop will rip off their old grip on old chipped decks just for a new graphic grip or color or whatever, they cant wait for a new deck! ??? ??? ??? drives me nuts. It's become an essential component of your board! but ya know whatever gets you hyped to skate i guess..... ? ;D ;D

Anyone remember the boombox grip theyd sell in ccs mags

Isn't colored/graphic grip said to be less grippy than black? I never really fucked with it for that reason.

This board talks about everything except skateboarding
Newcomer to skateboarding but 26 years old and you have to realize skateboarding is for the most part a young mans game. So im sure this board is filled with all age types but the ones asking questions like which trends are cool and which arent are probably very young. Just my 2 cents.
Not knocking young ones either. Some of the most talented skateboarders ive seen are very young. But you wont catch a 25 year old asking if its okay to put flowers on his board because he thinks hell change skateboarding culture..

I always etch a big penis doodle into my grip so I know which way I'm supposed to skate.
It starts with the balls circling two bolts and leads to the knob circling the bolts at the other end.
It's also backwards and I ride my trucks inside out because fuck the rules.

I think it's cool that kids are making their setups unique (grip tape colors, intricate cut outs, drawing on the grip, fun sticker assortments, etc). Skateboarding is supposed to be fun.
In the 90's it was cool to see pros with spray painted shoes, sweaters and shirts with sharpeed drawings or sayings scrawled across them, and wild dyed hair. Bring on the weird.

weird grip jobs were big last year, but overall that trend is dead now and welcome went down with it

In regards to G stripes, east coast lines, and philly lines..... I've been doing one on my last 6 or 7 decks. I used to do it a lot in like 2000ish as well. I think it looks pretty sick and I can for sure tell front from back easier that way as well.
We always called em philly lines.

this is as tech as I've ever got as far as grip goes. of all the completes i own only these have some kind of design and i don't cut lines into popsicles, one silver bolt and all black grip for those. these i ride less than popsicles so every once and awhile smoking a bowl and doing something to my grip is fun but how many line designs can someone think of? it gets to be too much. just grip it and rip it.
that first board in the third pic is a hookups and i cut the grip like this Jeremy Klein pic (http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r635/thedeficientone/klein2chrome_zpsq7ipegsw.jpg) (http://s1175.photobucket.com/user/thedeficientone/media/klein2chrome_zpsq7ipegsw.jpg.html)
im not calling it world grip but this was popular amongst the world camp wasn't it?

can someone explain to me the whole "no grip on the last inch of the nose" trend? i mostly see it among euro skaters.

I did it in the mid 90's cuz I heard it helps with ollie one foot/norths and didn't eat your shoes up as much. I also put my front two bolts upside down because I thought you could ollie higher. Trial and error. These days my picky ass can only do black solid. I can't even ride MOB m-80, even though I think it's an better griptape cuz of the tiny cut-out. It just messes with my head.

I used to do just a straight line on my grip on the back, but recently I've been following the trend or whatever. I've got three asymmetrical lines on my WKND and a Puzzle/Paint Pen thing going on with the Welcome. Also, seen this in the setup thread, this is some art:

Sometimes I just draw something on my black grip with paint pen. I could have sworn I saw a Stevie Nicks tattoo on BA in that Vice video, guess that motivated me to try and draw something. Free hand paint pen from an online stencil picture.

I don't get how people can skate anything but straight black. Like seeing all the pictures of pros with shake junt and grizzly. It seems like it would be distracting. Then all the kids at the park with the crazy artistic stuff, with photos and stencils. I just don't get it, but to each there own. I guess it's like dudes who wear, "Gear" when they skate. I respect guys like Duffel and Greco for their talents, but could never see throwing on a leather jacket, a bunch of jewellery, and fedora to go skate LA when its 80 degrees out

The red shake junk is the worst. I personally think it ruins Cyril's tricks.

I usually have fun with it somehow. Depending how much time I make for it, I'll get crafty like this Larry David one, or if I'm in a rush, I'll use spray paint.
-
Where's the Larry David one?
I always go all black too, but this thread is making me want to mix things up a little.
Just something minor, like keeping a cool top graphic visible.
Those ginopops ones are almost cool, but have a bit too much going on for me.
The coolness of Smithers with a licorice whip, is brought way down by the presence of Austin Powers.
But at the same time, that Manolo board is a work of art. You make that Mano?

Straight black, use my keys to etch an X in the middle of the bolts on the tail.
same but my x is just under the left front truck bolts

Black Magic grip tape
Yes, definitely an excellent alternative to Mob. I'd say it's even more coarse, so if you're trying to make your shoes last you might not wanna go with BM. I've been skating free Jessup or Iron Horse most of my life but lately I've come to the conclusion that Jessup sucks. Every summer the past few years during hot days it just melts off the edges and all that's there is the adhesive part, no grip. Sticking with regular Mob from now on never had any problems with it.

I cant believe you gripped over bolts! Fuck you man! Fuck you.... fuck you :'(
I made a discovery if you sharpie your grip then spray paint over, the sharpie still shows through. Massive trends to be had here with this method. I cant upload picture, only video so I addressed the truck thread too, also a dance inspired by that longboarder wearing suspenders. My thing is to write bad words and sayings so I skate harder and faster. I look down and see "eat shit" and "cunt", yeah, Im goin for it. Also all the sharpie shit is backwards cause I was a tweaking dumbass. Sporting am-grip. I guess its some revive shit.
Tattoo see through grip, Interpretive dance, It dont matter (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeRtF9cmOBw&feature=youtu.be#)

I always grip over my bolts ALWAYS, deal with it! 8)
I used to do that sharpie trick using black sharpie vs. white spray paint.
I was really into this band called 'painted thin' (still am actually) so I used to write it on my griptape in black and give at quick spray with the white, let the excess drip down the board and voila!

Damn, I thought I stumbled upon the philosophers stone. Nobel peace prize worthy, eh, nothing is original I guess.
Has Rodney Mullen ever gripped the bottom of his board instead of the top for long darkslide sessions? If not he should have.

It's still pretty underground bro, you should try black on black so that you can only see it in the right light :D
Pretty sure mullen at least gripped his tail when he was first bringing darkslides over to actual street boards (i.e. early plan b days)
-
Freestyle dudes like to put some grip on the tail and nose for the darkslides and some other tricks. It's one common use for clear grip, too. A little does it.

Do people still do the "G-Stripe?" (The off center tape job that left a half inch or so of one edge bare)
That was huge around 1999.
i've heard people calling that the "east coast line" nowadays
I always hear "EMB stripe"
i remember these being called "tech lines"...this needs to come back
-
Gripped my last board drunk and ended up with a pretty heavy g-stripe. At the time I thought fuck it I've seen this look rad but it's big enough that I'm pretty sure people can tell it was unintentional

I don't get how people can skate anything but straight black. Like seeing all the pictures of pros with shake junt and grizzly. It seems like it would be distracting. Then all the kids at the park with the crazy artistic stuff, with photos and stencils. I just don't get it, but to each there own. I guess it's like dudes who wear, "Gear" when they skate. I respect guys like Duffel and Greco for their talents, but could never see throwing on a leather jacket, a bunch of jewellery, and fedora to go skate LA when its 80 degrees out
Never understood the grizzly. Its pretty wack in my opinion but what ever
Recently I saw a pic of a teenaged T-PUDZ riding in some tournament (let's say Tampa) and the little bear was there on his tape. It was shocking and it made me warm up to the brand a little... but I'm not paying a premium on sandpaper and glue just because there's a doodle on it. Ever.

Writing a little something on your grip with whiteout still gets a pass but that's been dead since Yeah Right. "Philly gripping" your board is always a go and if you don't know what I'm talking about then you were probably born after 9/11. Otherwise shits pretty corny free Max b

All black for life. Leave the art on the deck. Went to NYC recently and all the kids at black hubba spray painted the shit out of their grip. Looked like vomit

I'm guilty of skating it before
I'm a fan of Mob and I feel that Grizzly is too slippery. I don't understand why people sand that shit down
-
straight black always has and will look the best but kids eat that grizzy/shake junt shit up so why not cash in rake the cash in

Has to be black jessup
