Has anyone else heared about this paradox grip? Says it makes you balance better thanks to "Quantum Power" in the grip.

plug?

no thanks. i got this sticky spray on shit that comes in a can. works great.

Im definitely not backing it , sounds like bullshit to me

2 words: griptape shoes

2 words: griptape shoes
holy shit, replace the grip tape with a sheet of suede, and get some grip tape shoes.

I Only skate pink griptape

If it ain't jessup it ain't worth buyin

Seriously? They're trying to hype it up with technical facts and bullshit. How many kids are going to be stoked when they hear their grip has 70 or even 80 silicone carbide?

yessssssssssssssssssss brilliant

Its all bullshit....
-
its about as much bullshit as copernicus stating the that we rotate around the sun. Or Tesla stating resonance waves can effect human potential. Telsa invented Alternating Current, AC and also lead the research on harmonic resonance technology. The technology within Paradox is just the beginning of what HR can do to increase all aspects of performance. I understand from behind your screen it looks like magic. But so would a car to someone living 150 years ago and a cell phone would really freak then out. This is real and Paradox wouldn't have gotten all of these riders to back it if it was bullshit. Jessup invented griptape--TRUE---but Paradox has reinvented it.
believe the hype

I bought some of this griptape and it peeled off my board within an hour. It's comparable to Wal-Mart griptape.... except it's a lot worse.

I acturally ride that stuff on everyboard I get..
Comes free with all boards at the shop
Either that or jessup
I wanted to try something new and that stuff is acturally good..
the colorgrip isnt all plasticy either
but i stray from the colors mostly.. just black now
-
for real?
mob has done that many times--delaminated even
it is defintely not walmart---jessup is cheaper by far-----we have a 100% gurantee---just bring it back---which shop did you buy it at?
you think Pat Duffy or Marius Syvanen would ride crap? if that really happened it is an anomoly---we will replace it.
-
who cares? a griptape sponsor is like a hardware sponsor, as long as it is black and not some kooky color and does it's job it doesn't matter. Paradox grip? don't care.
-
you think Pat Duffy or Marius Syvanen would ride crap? if that really happened it is an anomoly---we will replace it.
you do realize that duffy skates for macbeth and marius skated for osiris right? no hate for them or for you guys for trying to do something, but at the same time, you don't need to compare yourself to tesla or anyone else. griptape won't change the world. and if you would explain exactly what this "quantum technology" is, it might not seem like "magic" to us and we'd be able to make a better call on whether it seems legit/helpful.

proof is in the ride--------try it at 510 in Berkeley. Trying to explain quantum mechanics would take entirely too long. That you will have to research on your own. You can start with cymatics, try uc berkley's quantum physics dept...where some of my research was done.
Simply, the human body is electric and needs to be properly grounded to get maximum power in each of your red blood cells. The red blood cell in most people is malfunctioning due to improper grounding.
This technology helps your body properly ground and then your red blood cells, which create your energetic field, can actually work properly. When this happens you feel more centered, balanced and powerful.
For those that understand car engines, let's use an analogy----if you don't ground the engine block you don't get maximum horsepower. The spark plug arcs to the block and then to the frame and loses its intensity which then causes a malfunctioned explosion in the valve cylinder---less horsepower because of no grounding wire. The engine of your body is your blood, moved throughout your body be your heart and regulated by your brain. These minute explosions in each of your red blood cells becomes properly grounded, when that happens--increased performance.

LA BANDE DE POIGNÉE SONT PERDANTS ! ! ! !
-
i gotta try this shit.
i want my red blood cells to trip out
-
so if it helps your blood to work more properly then in a way it is like viagra or enzyte or something, so it could also help your performance there too. just fuck on your skateboard... so wait, what was wrong with normal griptape? people seemed to be doing just fine with it for the entirety of skateboarding history. but hey, maybe it is good. I work at a shop and nobody here has heard of it. I would probably try it just to see if I can be negative about it or how my red blood cells feel about it.
-
Simply, the human body is electric
so, in addition to technologically advanced grip tape, you invented the matrix?
-
damn, oh well then. Guess I will just have to stick to the usual. Poor me.

Everybody knows that Tesla is a wussy ballad rock band.
Goddammit. You are a spamming piece of shit. If I ever find you I'm gonna take my griptape and sand your fucking earlobes off.

maximum power in each of your red blood cells? LOL to do what ? to move oxygen around better ? give me a break. that's not even how it works. you couldnt possibly be more kooky. if you want to say this is magnetic griptape, you should just say that.
-
you don't even have a solid sheet of grip. your logo sucks and i wouldn't buy your shit because i don't have the option to keep the fact that i'm riding kinoki foot pad griptape to myself. also, i'm not gonna pay 5 bucks for a sticker that is just a promotional product for your company. that's like paying for a red bull hat or a monster hoodie.
no die cut logo, keep the techno-babble to a minimum, keep getting building a sick team (good enough so far), you may be able to stay afloat.

ok i wanna try this grip now if it will make me "balance" better it sounds too good to be true. do you have any new jersey retailers?

OK, I'm just pissed at you now. I know enough about quantum mechanics, cymatics, and physics in general to know that you're talking out of your ass.
How are you using quantum mechanics to enhance human balance? What part of the mechanical process of human balance do holograms have an effect on?
What procedure did you use to find the right "frequency?" How do you change the "frequency" in the materials you're using? I'm as much of a fan of string theory as the next guy, but if you're using string theory's properties of frequency to actually create a tangible product, why are you making griptape? You could be rich just for the simple fact that you've harnessed and use string theory in any applicable way.
And about the cymatics... what do high and low pitch wave patterns have to do with a sheet of griptape that's securely adhered to a skateboard?
Last thing, and this is really the only thing that matters I guess... you said this:
try uc berkley's quantum physics dept...where some of my research was done
If someone there did your research, who is it? You can't just call the physics department at Berkley and hope that the secretary answering the phone has a clue what the research scientists are working on. Just give me the name of a research scientist... if he's at UC Berkley, then his identity is already public record... just give me a name and I'll ask him or his department head.

stuff sounds to good to be true. if it does work i would probably get lazy and not want to balance as much as usual then when i get normal grip again i wont be able to skate. i want to try some but im afraid i might get cancer from all of the shit thats supposed to be in it.
if you still think its a fake company then look at this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfDMTUWnAMI&feature=channel_page

i'm for iron shirt tai chi and harmonic frequency and balancing body energy, and i'm no expert, but i know a pretty good amount about chigong and tai chi and almost none of what he said made sense, even from that point of view much less a quantum mechanic point of view.
and another thing-if no "white line" shows up when you fold it, how much more difficult is it to cut off your extra grip tape?

hi haters,
a little love for you guys since your board was a little ruff on you today.
Ever listed to Morrisey?
Blair at TWS loves Morrisey. me too, when Im bummed and anti-social. Music affects you, like Iron Maiden affects you.
These little holograms are the very same material coated on a CD, just without the plastic disk. The Quantum aspect comes from the music, burnt on those "holograms", changing according to your needs at any given time.
But, really just try it---at the very least it is made far better then what is currently available and we donate 10% of our gross profits to charity.
grim, sent out your grip already----its good grip, even if i didn't mention the technology, powerbalance changed their website--not sure what you read, they do sell there "holograms" to many reputable companies and there is no harm or radiation as tested by a Yale Professor.
Also: The Materials Science professor at The Quantum Physics Dept at UC Berkeley is Dr. Mason--it was only one day of research and he said I needed 100k to do a full study. But he was equally impressed with the affect it had on his body as well. And referred me to The Material Science Dept.
Nassim Haramein is the leader in modern Quark quantum theory and I believe he has actually unified Einstein's Field Theory. If you would to delve further in this realm, heez da mein.
TO whom who questioned the validity of my knowledge in regards to Chi Gong and other views of Chinese philosophy here are my more intimate sources. If you have not herd of them, that is good. Fame greed is something to be avoided according Emei LinJi Chan Buddist Philosphy.
Chi Gong has but one real source and that is what who I qoute, Grandmaster Fu Wei Zhong, 13th Lineage Holder of Emei LinJi, Chan Buddism, my Sifu---Note: he is the chinese equivalent of The Dali Lama.
My current Sifu is GrandMaster Greg Yao..nephew and student of Grandmaster Chris Chan, who trained Bruce Lee in Wing Chun Kung Fu. Master G, as I call him can produce what is called Iron Shirt--through vigorous training and a special shaolin balm.
Lies weaken the will and confuse the laws of creation. It would be foolish for me to do this, tortuous even.
Much love to all you skaters...i have been skating my whole life and hope to roll forever....

Alas, I wish it were so...
A parent company of action sport, music and art related products utililzing the exclusive license of PowerBalance Quantum Technology.
First phase: Skateboard griptape. Over 60 million sheets of griptape are sold every year and growing. Our infusion of this quantum energy will have no competition.
I expect to retain 10 % of the market in the first year.
50 % in three years. At 25 cents a sheet net profit that's 6 million.

...and Ari, don't pretend like I just came up with the hologram shit, you mentioned it yourself in the video I posted. Your new age metaphysics aren't the same thing as science... and OF COURSE there'd be no radiation, why would there be? What research was performed in one day? Fuck, man.

all that's well and good but i'm still unsure how iron shirt would make your balance better but hey! if paradox grip is at my shop (without the die cut), i'll be more than happy to try it out and see what happens. what's the harm right? and kudos for you guys for giving to charity.

watch your back paradox, my new grip company 'moai' uses grit taken from easter island which harnesses the cosmic energy of the famed site and brings it to your feet for enhanced shredability. the adhesive is all natural and developed from a sustainably harvested plant from the amazon, which the xucuru indians believe gives you powers over wood.

So this grip actually never wears your shoes out right?
No, because when you reverse engineer it you find that it is just a sheet of sandpaper with a sticky side. You will be pissed, feel ripped off, and betrayed. Therefore it will never go on your board, thus protecting your shoes. But still, if you bought it then you are giving dude his 25 cents net profit and helping him takeover the griptape market.
-
wow,
is all I can say. What started as a fun way to spend the day, hurt and unable to skate became an industry sensation. Stricker from TWS even heard about this thread...wtf
No other company donates gross profits...so it isn't money that motivates...but you gotta make money to give away grip to your riders, pay photo incentives, pay your factory for their labor and hopefully make some money in the end.
It blows my mind you all are still grinding on this.
I have been running a charity for 7 years for free---30 thousand kids have been turned on to skateboarding because of Doogood and our sponsors.
I am in it, the industry, because I have love for it.
If you want to use the same ol stuff that was made in the 80's go ahead. But, just wanted to get the word out anyway i could without paying Transworld, or Thrasher 4 grand page...maybe I was expecting too much from this thread, but, at the very least it has been highly entertaining.
Grim,
Good job researching me, except you failed to mention a few things, like Doogood, journalism and the desire to have a better life.
Hope you enjoy the grip, it cost me money to send it to you.sooo for real...do some muscle testing on yourself and see how week negative thoughts make you...Research Dr. Feldenkreis
To the New Jersey skater...hit us up if you want it out there. JZ is repping it in the NYC--woops i named dropped again---forealdo the mafia premeir tonight is gonna blow----wes, tyler---paradox
thanks for all your energy---it only helps us

Grim,
Good job researching me, except you failed to mention a few things, like Doogood, journalism and the desire to have a better life.
I didn't fail to mention anything pertaining to the topic... the topic being a griptape that Shirley MacLaine would probably love to wrap herself up with while wallowing in a hot tub full of energy crystals. You never addressed how you've managed to use quantum mechanics to help a person maintain balance, something that requires multiple mechanical and chemical functions, as well as muscle memory and development.
You never mentioned the specific "frequency" that your product emits, and you've already lied in regards to UC Berkleys involvement in your creation (you stated that some of your research was done there, then went on to mention that it was looked at for one day, but it was too expensive to actually process through the good old fashioned scientific method.
As far as Doogood, that's fantastic. I'm a great fan of charity and helping people in need... but honestly, this fundamentally insane griptape schpeel is going to wind up doing you more harm than good... the more you talk about it, the more ridiculous you make it.
As far as journalism and the desire to have a better life... my only response is... okey dokey.
Hope you enjoy the grip, it cost me money to send it to you.sooo for real...do some muscle testing on yourself
How much did it cost you to ship? If you're hurting for money that bad I can slip in a couple of bucks for you when i ship the griptape back.
and see how week negative thoughts make you...Research Dr. Feldenkreis
No, I'm not researching Dr. Feldenkreis.
The only reason I'm negative in this thread is because you're insulting the intelligence of everyone that reads the jumbled, nonsensical things you're saying. You're deluded, and you think we're idiots.
Say, do you think Alex Chiu's immortality device (http://www.alexchiu.com/eternallife/index.html) really works?
-
I don't care whether it's better or not. Anybody who asks for a specific type of grip is a fucking idiot. Jessup, black magic, mob, even this shitty brand. When I go to a shop, I pick out the board, and when the guy asks if I want grip with it, I say yes. Whatever he gives me I take. So far this technique has worked just fine. If I owned a shop I'd buy the cheapest shit that was available. The only reason grip peals off is because you didn't file it down after cutting it. Bubbles come from gripping like an idiot. Grip it right and it's all the same shit.
If you really think you are going to take over the grip market you are a fucking moron who deserves to go broke talking quantum mechanics.

always interested in testing this out for the belgian audience!

I was skeptical, but this grip is green as all hell! It must be all that green voodoo they been puttin' in it thats helping me accomplish hammers left and right lately!
The carbon fiber hologram technology has been emitting utterly satanic frequencies! Satan's grip of choice!

what if you have a low blood cell count? spontaneously combust?
-
I don't care whether it's better or not. Anybody who asks for a specific type of grip is a fucking idiot. Jessup, black magic, mob, even this shitty brand. When I go to a shop, I pick out the board, and when the guy asks if I want grip with it, I say yes. Whatever he gives me I take. So far this technique has worked just fine. If I owned a shop I'd buy the cheapest shit that was available. The only reason grip peals off is because you didn't file it down after cutting it. Bubbles come from gripping like an idiot. Grip it right and it's all the same shit.
If you really think you are going to take over the grip market you are a fucking moron who deserves to go broke talking quantum mechanics.
what he said.
and for you 80's kids http://www.madridskateboards.com/pages/product-detail.asp?id=390
the second worst grip tape.
-
if this grip can improve you balance cool, but i'd have to see/skate it to believe it.
never really cared what grip i rode as long as it stuck to my board. been skating some girl/MOB grip lately (got a few sheets free) and it works fine, but peels up a little sometimes.
-
Says it makes you balance better thanks to "Quantum Power" in the grip.
Damn!
If I was a person who drinks coffee I would have been that dude,

I'm having a hard time mustering up passion for paradox grip, bro
ill talk it over with satan
I'm having a hard time mustering up resistance for hating you, bro

Satan's only grip of choice is that new handjob technique you've been puttin on him and the other horny beings of Hell in exchange for the talent you have on a skateboard. I guess it was that or sell your soul.
Does his dick scorch you the second you make contact??? I'm asking you because of how deep on his dick you are. If anyone knows it is you. I just imagine a red being who lives in a lake of fire having an extremely hot all over body temperature capable of scorching even the most veteran of mouths and assholes.
-
Me and Satan are bros, bro. no homo.
He was down, I was down, it was a casual deal as far as the superhuman green satan hammer ability goes. I didn't sell him my soul, I just used to sell nugs to him to get by before I hit it big in the skateboard world, back when I was just an am at rock climbing. Me and satan share a passion, and it has nothing to do with his dick scortching me or anything like that.

proof is in the ride--------try it at 510 in Berkeley. Trying to explain quantum mechanics would take entirely too long. That you will have to research on your own. You can start with cymatics, try uc berkley's quantum physics dept...where some of my research was done.
Simply, the human body is electric and needs to be properly grounded to get maximum power in each of your red blood cells. The red blood cell in most people is malfunctioning due to improper grounding.
This technology helps your body properly ground and then your red blood cells, which create your energetic field, can actually work properly. When this happens you feel more centered, balanced and powerful.
For those that understand car engines, let's use an analogy----if you don't ground the engine block you don't get maximum horsepower. The spark plug arcs to the block and then to the frame and loses its intensity which then causes a malfunctioned explosion in the valve cylinder---less horsepower because of no grounding wire. The engine of your body is your blood, moved throughout your body be your heart and regulated by your brain. These minute explosions in each of your red blood cells becomes properly grounded, when that happens--increased performance.
you're fucking terrible at life.

Tell us more about Cassandra, the Paradoxgrip girl that's on the youtube video from ASR. Cause she's got nice cans... also, how come you went to ASR and not the good trade show that Jamie Thomas set up? hmmm......
-
cassandra....she is one pete's homegirls and needed some jager to get the pasties goin, but it workedout--only got kicked out once....you can find her on myspace...we are lookin for a grip girl to tour with and she was one of the ones we are considering....
Jamie's show..we were there, no booth though....we barely had a booth at ASR until Jessup got us kicked out....for real

It's probably a conspiracy because they know your grip tape is so much better.

How did you barely have a booth? Did you rent a booth?

The Mega Ramp guys are my friends and they said I could have a booth right next to the mini mega in this little section with booths It was a good zone, you could drink and watch people on the mini-mega. So, I was stoked, free booth right next to Jakee's turf..sweet. Then Jessup showed up and well, they paid alot of money for their booth and weren't very happy that i was there no matter if I paid or not. So they cried, my friends said , you gotta pack up and we moved our booth to the kind folks at Grind For Life's chill zone upstairs. Thanks Mike! We now also make griptape for Grind For Life. But, yeah... those busters got us booted...Hatin; business style...real talk

So you had no booth, you've paid no money for advertising (as you mentioned, that's why you've avoided buying ads and instead created the thread on Slap's dime), nor did you pay for any research (as we broke down earlier on concerning UC Berkley).
So there you are, at a trade show that you hustled your way into to sell product, then a company that actually paid money to be there got you to relocate. Those booth locations are booked in advance... had you paid they wouldn't have been able to say anything to you.
Given all of this, I'm fully convinced that you're not quite as fucked up in the head as your posts make you sound. I say that because you haven't really invested anything into the marketing of your product, therefore I guess you expect it to fail. Which it will.

Turns out it's the paradox girl, with paradox griptape on her nipples. That can't feel good.

hey DOCTOR ari gold,
when you're done evading grim's questions about how cymatics and holograms can possibly facilitate your fictitious technology of a poorly thought out marketing ploy, i have a few of my own for you.
first of all, how do you ground a body wearing rubber-soled shoes and why would you ever want to? it seems to me that you haven't the slightest idea of what grounding is at all or for that matter how a car works. allow me to clear it up for you: grounding is a term that refers to electrical appliances and components that entails physically connecting an object or system's electrical frame to the ground where the potential is zero in order to either complete a circuit or as a safety measure in order to avoid electrical shock. in cars, the cylinder block is naturally grounded by the car's metal frame, and the only function of the ground cable is to avert the voltage potential away from the accelerator and clutch cables which don't have the capacitance to sustain an adequate current and keep the car running properly.
What is an "energetic field" and what do red blood cells have to do with electricity (let alone griptape)? as we all know, red blood cells are responsible for distributing oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout the body and have virtually nothing to do with the regulation of electrical impulses in the body and cells (in reality, regulation of intracellular potential and the means by which the body uses electricity to innervate the nervous system are due to each cell's ability to modulate internal calcium and potassium ion levels in order to depolarize or hyperpolarize itself, and ultimately carry out a specific function). as for the cells that do participate in physiological electrical systems, the electrical potential of each individual cell is measurable and functional only in reference to the voltage of the cytoplasm outside of the cell and is entirely independent of electrical activity outside of the body at all, making the term "grounding" in this context completely irrelevant.
that having been said, to suggest anything along the lines of "The red blood cell in most people is malfunctioning due to improper grounding" or that any external influence has the ability to make anyone "feel more centered, balanced and powerful" is not only admitting to being grossly uneducated, but is the most pathetic and contrived attempt at explaining your nonexistent powerbalance, chi flow, quantum mechanical load of fuckin bullshit that i have ever had the pleasure of disproving. fuckface.

Feels like griptape... and doesnt look like walmart grip
so its alright in my book, as long as it doesnt peel up

Those were all attacks at Grim's character and personality. You have clearly intentionally avoided questions about your product sir. People may have questioned other scientists that they didn't believe, but I bet the scientists defended their theories with knowledge, not with attacks at the opposition.
And just so you know, the most important thing to a pro in terms of grip sponsorship? money. That's it.

I would define "sheeple" as people who just listen to whatever they are told, and take it as truthful. Your pitch is obvious bullshit and we are calling you out on it. How does that make anybody sheeple? Grim asked direct questions such as: Who at UC Berkeley did the research for your griptape? What SPECIFICALLY do red blood cells do that has to do with your balance? How is it possible to ground your body when we all wear soles of vulcanized rubber? There may be perfectly legitimate answers to these questions, you just have not provided them, and now have shifted to talking shit on the person, since you can't answer the questions. That's not calling a spade a spade, it's calling the dealer a cheat. If any person here just took your word for it after you didn't answer any questions about the product you came on trying to sell, they would be sheeple. Love those who question your bullshit capitalist scheme if you practice what you preach.

Red blood cells--Ok----the only cell in the body without a nucleus, mitochondria are like little batteries that store the energy of the cell. But without a nucleus where do red blood cells get their energy?
Grounding through rubber: Tesla's work on harmonic resonance has already proved this. Cymatics--- sand is resonated with different frequencies and patterns appear in the sand--through resonance, or simply vibration at a particular frequency.
These resonating frequencies can push through non-rounding materials, like rubber.
Uc Berkeley...i stated that it was researched there---i didn't claim that is was for more than one day. This technology affects the human body and to test on people, for scientific research at UC, costs 100k minimum. I did what I could and The head Lab Professor at The Quantum Physics Dept did do the muscle testing and did bring in many other professors to experience this material. They were very excited and sent me to The Material Science Dept. They informed me of the potential cost and that was that.
What other questions have i been viewed as avoiding?
It is quite difficult to fully give someone a lesson on Quantum Mechanical Theory who hasn't read Nassim Haramein's work. He is the only person I am aware of that has actually unified Einstein's field theory on relativity.
I humbly request that htise that claim the know about Quantum Theory, read more about it than Dancing Wuji Masters written in the 70's. There is alot of information available that explains harmonic resonance alot better than I could.
I'm just a skater who acknowledged this product, came up with an application, tested it, got Smolik and Alex Horn to test it--and well, everyone who has tried it, feels like they "in the zone" more often, have more endurance, more flexiblity and generally feel more relaxed and stable on the board.
Sorry if i am "blowing it" be attempting to spread information that i believe is true. My teachers, my sifu and my team have put their faith in Paradox and i truly hope to make everyone's skating experience that much better. If i can do that--mission accomplished--if i can underwrite Doogood's mission in the process----gravy.

I'll get some shops to post and tell you how easy it is to grip a board with because of the flexiblity and crystals don't shed all over their store. I am aware this doesn't really affect they way it skates...but it is nice for the shops...and when the crystals don't shed your grip feels better , longer. The liner needs to flex with your board, if not, crystals pop off and the grip becomes less grippy, some other companies grip get slippery within a day because the grit is too large and the liner to stiff.

Red blood cells--Ok----the only cell in the body without a nucleus, mitochondria are like little batteries that store the energy of the cell. But without a nucleus where do red blood cells get their energy?
Do you really consider this an answer? All you are doing is asking another question and the fact that you talk like an expert but still need basic biochemistry explained to you should be embarrassing. To answer you in any case, all cells in the body, nucleus or not, create energy in the form of ATP. The mitochondria in regular cells produce it through the process of cellular respiration where electrons are donated to endogenous electron acceptors such as oxygen via an electron transport chain. Red blood cells however create energy through fermentation; so instead of relying on external mechanisms (which for cells with nuclei have a much higher yield), blood cells use endogenous electron receptors to oxidize organic compounds (primarily glucose) already present in the cell. As is evident from the explanation, none of this has virtually anything to do with electricity, balance, or "energetic fields".
Grounding through rubber: Tesla's work on harmonic resonance has already proved this. Cymatics--- sand is resonated with different frequencies and patterns appear in the sand--through resonance, or simply vibration at a particular frequency.
These resonating frequencies can push through non-rounding materials, like rubber.
Again it seems you are a little unclear of what grounding actually is. The term grounding is strictly in reference to electricity while physical phenomena such as frequency-dependent patterns in sand are the result of dynamic (mechanical) harmonic resonance, not electric or electromagnetic resonance. I shouldn't need to point out that physically vibrating a rubber sole is substantially different than sustaining an electrical current through a near-perfect insulator like rubber. As far as what grounding actually has to do with the function of your griptape or even cymatics in general, I urge you to try again.
It is quite difficult to fully give someone a lesson on Quantum Mechanical Theory who hasn't read Nassim Haramein's work. He is the only person I am aware of that has actually unified Einstein's field theory on relativity.
I humbly request that htise that claim the know about Quantum Theory, read more about it than Dancing Wuji Masters written in the 70's. There is alot of information available that explains harmonic resonance alot better than I could.
First of all, although I have not read all of his work, I have heard Haramein's lectures, and it is clear to me why he has suffered from almost no support from the scientific community. But that is besides the point as it is merely my own opinion. As for him being the only unified field theorist, try looking up Hermann Weyl, Arthur Eddington, Theodor Kaluza, Lancelot Law Whyte, R. Bach, and my own personal favorite Garrett Lisi.
From someone who has been studying particle physics and quantum mechanics for years, I require no lessons in order to understand grip tape. All I ask (along with many others in this thread), is a concrete and specific explanation from you or anyone of how exactly these fields of research are facilitated in your product.
P.S. I would really appreciate a personal response this time.

dual monitor stroker:
wow, you do indeed know what you are talking about. The red blood cell is highly affected by resonance, harmonic resonance..i have never typed electromagnetic resonance.
The main resonant factor that is a constant is your heart beat and its subsequent reverberations throughout your body. The music encoded within the holographic material affects the resonance of these glucose exchanges.
The body is highly reactive to frequency: the people at PowerBalance found a certain sequence of frequencies that really are special and if you have access to an electron microscope, you will see the reaction from this sequence of frequencies encoded within this holographic material. I am not a Blood expert, but the pictures provided by this experiment would be incredible.
.4 hertz to 186 hertz---all of these frequencies influence the human heart-rate, which in turn influences the red blood cells cellular exchange, or implosion.
this sequence of frequencies amplifies the resonance created by your heart-beat, which in turn is amplified by the red blood cells implosion. This amplification and continual exposure to the "magic" sequence creates incredible grounding that is provable through Dr. Feldenkreis's muscle tests. It is very hard to describe what your body feels like, but if you like at the paradox video, i am literally jumping on this mans arm, who is twice my size, literally he's huge, and he doesn't knock over...without exposure to the sequence of frequencies within our griptape, i knock him over with just slight pressure...i know it doesn't convey well on video..but if you try these muscle tests, you will be amazed.
In response to Nassim
The new realms of science will not be in the universities. My teacher, Grandmaster Fu Wei Zhong, states" science and spirituality are like two curves curving away from each other, like an american football, right now, they are at the widest distance apart. Soon, (whatever that means, he doesn't think on linear time)...they will grow closer and eventually be one.
How is this in the product?
We license a particular resonance formula, PowerBalance, and encode it our 70 and 80 grit silicon carbide
If you would like to do some tests, I will be happy to send you our new Paradox resonance formula as well as the Powerbalance technology.
If i can get electron microscope pictures of a blood cell before and after exposure to the grit, it would be very exciting to see what it looks like.

My teacher, Grandmaster Fu Wei Zhong, states" science and spirituality are like two curves curving away from each other, like an american football, right now, they are at the widest distance apart. Soon, (whatever that means, he doesn't think on linear time)...they will grow closer and eventually be one.
Yeah, well Grandmaster Fu has a point. Religion is bullshit, spirituality is just man's attempt to be deep while ignoring truths of this world. They speak in backwards talk to act like its the opposite, but its delusional bullshit. Science is tested truth that is constantly evolving.
But one thing you have wrong is where the scientific realm is heading. Universities will remain the perfect storm of brains and money for research to continue there.

The red blood cell is highly affected by resonance, harmonic resonance..i have never typed electromagnetic resonance.
Please, before you make assertions, make sure you know what you are talking about. Harmonic resonance describes resonance of multiple waves that have a harmonic relationship to each other, that is one wave has a frequency that is a base 2 multiple of the other. Harmonic resonance can be dynamic, electrodynamic, electric, or electromagnetic but it does not make sense to refer to harmonic resonance without regard to a specific type of field or system that is resonating. You had never typed electromagnetic resonance, but you did refer to frequency-dependent sand patterns which is an example of dynamic resonance and not any other kind, which therefore has nothing to do with grounding.
The main resonant factor that is a constant is your heart beat and its subsequent reverberations throughout your body. The music encoded within the holographic material affects the resonance of these glucose exchanges.
...
This amplification and continual exposure to the "magic" sequence creates incredible grounding that is provable through Dr. Feldenkreis's muscle tests.
Speaking of having nothing to do with grounding, I am familiar with Dr. Feldenkrais's methods and the only electricity involved is the neuroplastic rewiring of the motor cortex when treating injured muscles, a process completely unrelated to the cerebellum and vestibular system that mediate balance. As far as resonance, the only resonance mentioned in Feldenkrais's studies are the manual oscillations of targeted muscles by a trainer, which are not only not harmonic but can hardly be considered resonance at all as these motions are far outside the frequency range of any naturally occurring vibrations. Furthermore these muscle tests are specifically designed to stimulate the afferent nerves of the periphery and are completely isolated from any cardiovascular or homeostatic systems that affect the entire body. Side note: it is good practice to avoid using the word "magic" in a scientific explanation.
.4 hertz to 186 hertz---all of these frequencies influence the human heart-rate, which in turn influences the red blood cells cellular exchange, or implosion.
this sequence of frequencies amplifies the resonance created by your heart-beat, which in turn is amplified by the red blood cells implosion.
What do you mean by implosion? In all of my studies of biology and biochemistry, I have never heard of a cell imploding, nor could I find any reference to such a phenomenon anywhere on the web.
It is very hard to describe what your body feels like, but if you like at the paradox video, i am literally jumping on this mans arm, who is twice my size, literally he's huge, and he doesn't knock over...without exposure to the sequence of frequencies within our griptape, i knock him over with just slight pressure...i know it doesn't convey well on video..but if you try these muscle tests, you will be amazed.
I don't even need to express how gullible or idiotic someone would have to be to put any credence whatsoever in the legitimacy of that video.

How is this in the product?
We license a particular resonance formula, PowerBalance, and encode it our 70 and 80 grit silicon carbide
If you would like to do some tests, I will be happy to send you our new Paradox resonance formula as well as the Powerbalance technology.
If i can get electron microscope pictures of a blood cell before and after exposure to the grit, it would be very exciting to see what it looks like.
Science outside of universities and any theories or claims that transcend the scientific community cater perfectly to propaganda and pseudoscience where they are free from the rigor and necessity of any scientific peer review. Such standards are established for the very reason that you are being grilled so hard in this forum: in order to discern between validity and prevarication and to believe anything that is not subject to such scrutiny would be foolish and naive.
However, that having been said, while I firmly hold that your product and your arguments are complete bullshit, it happens that I do have associates at Temple University, UPenn, and NJIT, and am currently engaged in some micrographic research myself. If you were to send me your product, I would perhaps be willing and able to access a scanning electron microscope to humor your incessancy.

Yeah. I've learned so much just by lurking here from random smart posters. Makes me feel better about being a skateboarder- we're not as dumb as some people think...

If it helps, I know two physicists at the LIGO research facility here in Louisiana... it's actually on my way to work. If they have the time, I'll send them a link to some of the Power Balance crap (hell maybe these threads) and see if they can offer any funny comments.
Also, gnars for schooling.

Red blood cells--Ok----the only cell in the body without a nucleus, mitochondria are like little batteries that store the energy of the cell. But without a nucleus where do red blood cells get their energy?
you know they die in 6 days, right ? and that they use anaerobic metabolism? it's called basic biology, maybe you should learn some.

so if i get wasted and stick some of your stuff somewhere i wont loose my balance?
great science lesson, thanks everyone!

good call dude. I'm gonna slap some on the pedals of my car and drive wasted.

Dude guys I bought a sheet of this Paradox grip just for fun like to just try it out. It is seriously the best grip tape i have ever ridden. I was filming at a rail with it and did tre flip nose blunt down it first try. This stuff is amazing!
No not really...I will stick to jessup thank you!
Honestly I really dont want grip that is super grippy everyone likes grip broken in just like when shoes get broken in and you get that perfect flick because when you first get the shoes they are too grippy. Simple is better that thats the way its ganna be just like everyone likes a good Canadian maple 7 ply board...none of this carbon fiber uber light shit....

Grounding through rubber: Tesla's work on harmonic resonance has already proved this. Cymatics--- sand is resonated with different frequencies and patterns appear in the sand--through resonance, or simply vibration at a particular frequency.
These resonating frequencies can push through non-rounding materials, like rubber.
Uc Berkeley...i stated that it was researched there---i didn't claim that is was for more than one day. This technology affects the human body and to test on people, for scientific research at UC, costs 100k minimum. I did what I could and The head Lab Professor at The Quantum Physics Dept did do the muscle testing and did bring in many other professors to experience this material. They were very excited and sent me to The Material Science Dept. They informed me of the potential cost and that was that.
What other questions have i been viewed as avoiding?
It is quite difficult to fully give someone a lesson on Quantum Mechanical Theory who hasn't read Nassim Haramein's work. He is the only person I am aware of that has actually unified Einstein's field theory on relativity.
I humbly request that htise that claim the know about Quantum Theory, read more about it than Dancing Wuji Masters written in the 70's. There is alot of information available that explains harmonic resonance alot better than I could.
I'm just a skater who acknowledged this product, came up with an application, tested it, got Smolik and Alex Horn to test it--and well, everyone who has tried it, feels like they "in the zone" more often, have more endurance, more flexiblity and generally feel more relaxed and stable on the board.
Sorry if i am "blowing it" be attempting to spread information that i believe is true. My teachers, my sifu and my team have put their faith in Paradox and i truly hope to make everyone's skating experience that much better. If i can do that--mission accomplished--if i can underwrite Doogood's mission in the process----gravy.
I humbly request that you shut the fuck up.
Yes you are blowing it.

hello haters and science teachers,
Thank you all for your energy exchange and expression of individuality. It warms my soul. We just got back from a little tour and will have some very interesting video from the Slap office, up soon, as well some rare footage of a sifu of mine, with Smolik.
Thank you for accepting, requesting and possibly completing a real study of these formulas--Power Balance, Paradox and Dragon Balm.
To study not only the Power-Balance Formula, but also the Paradox Formula and Master G's Balm formula. Please PM me and I'll send a few formulas for testing, from 3 different schools. Thank you for offering to do this, I am looking forward to how the molecular structure is arranged before and after its exposure to these 3 different formulas (Power Balance), (Paradox), (Dragon Balm).
Oh. yeah..did I mention we like giving back to skateboarding...you know...love...hahaa
Hood Games East Oakland...81st Street....Paradox and Doogood giving back..Smolik skating with the groms..Ron Muther-f#$@5 Allen...We give to Hood Games and so should you.... video soon
Oh and TK..He was so hyped on Paradox, he was makin' sure i didn't give this box to Darrel at Hood Games in Long Beach, a few weeks ago. Here's a picture right after he was assured this was indeed HIS box.
Love you guyz..... i kinda missed this little forum thingy....but the road and skating are good too

I can't believe this Kook-athon has gone on for five pages, especially with dualmonitorstrokers and others here fucking destroying this paradox clown at every turn, it's nothing short of incredible. I'm glad to see this wankey bullshit doesn't fly with anyone over in the States either.
Hey paradox, Ireland thinks you're blowin' it.

Oh, and on another unrelated note, doesn't anyone else take an offcut of grip to rub down their gripjob before they skate it? Personally I like to take it down a notch so I get the same flick when I move from an old board to a new one, also it's less rough on the shoes that way

so mr. paradox himself came through here on friday, bringing with him several sheets of grip for us. having followed the thread a little bit i was obviously a little skeptical, but what could it hurt to get some free grip and a weird demonstration on magical griptape? figured it would be entertainment if nothing else. short version is this- either he was using intense mind control on me or the grip tape really does have some kind of mental and/or physical effects.
he did a few demonstrations in our office using me as the subject, and let me say i had/have no stake in this whatsoever and had never met the guy or anything before, and it was pretty baffling. i ended up letting them film him doing the demonstrations on me because i was so tripped out by it. if they post the footage of me anywhere i think it was pretty obvious i was a little confused by it, which might be entertaining on it's own. my balance and flexibility were both obviously improved when i was standing on the tape or holding it. he did these balance tests where i would stand on one foot with my arms out to the side- when i was just on the carpet he could tip me over fairly easily, but standing on the tape it took a whole lot more pressure to move me. there was another one where i'd stand and twist at my waist trying to rotate my arms around as far as they'd go. they'd mark where i got to and then i'd do it again holding the tape and i could twist a good 9 inches further. there were a few more demos along these lines...
i'm still fairly tripped out by out. i'm a skeptical person on this kind of thing, and i don't know about all the proposed metaphysics and crystals and harmonics, but i do think it actually has some positive physical effects. i'm yet to set up a board with the tape, but i will soon and see what's what.

I acturally got 2 sheets in the mail a week or so ago. and cut the logo off myself.
And honestly. I cant say its the worst grip I've ever had. I found it kinda funny that when I removed the paper, there was a holographic disc every 6inchs or so in the middle of the grip.
But I cant notice any life changing balance.
I did however relearn switch bigflips.. But that might be because the board I put it on is a 7.7 and I generally ride an 8

that's the logical portion of my brain's response as well, and i don't put it past the short-reaching and all-thumbs portion of my brain to be taken by placebo effects and marketing tactics... i don't know... tough one to get a firm stance on even after seeing it firsthand. i was definitely tripped out by the show, but maybe i'm the guy buying the cure-all elixir down on the corner on this one, too. i'm just looking at it as entertainment really. i should just set up a board already and see if i turn into luke skywalker...

Give us a report on how it skates whitely. I hear it has Karl Watson skating handrails again.

I've seen the footage of ARi Gold doing what you're talking about to some other guy.
It all sounds very similar to something my wife had experienced. She went to see some alternative medicine/practitioners free workshop and there was something about putting your thumb and index finger together and him trying to separate them (fairly easy). Then practitioner did the same exercise except gave her some kind of rock or mineral to hold in her other hand. It made a huge difference.

Come on, I thought people on here were getting the picture at first, y'know, that there's no such thing as magic and all the pseudo-scientific bullshit surrounding this stuff sounds just like some new-age Scientology mumbo-jumbo. I've used the word magic because as Dualmonitorstrokers clearly pointed out, there is no basis in reality for any of the claims this stuff claims to do, so why are people so keen to try it? I guess that's advertising for you. There is a dangerous level of stupidity operating here, if I happen to throw on a sheet of paradox and totally kill a handrail today, does that mean paradox works? Or am I just progressing as a skateboarder? I wonder. Get it together lads, there's no such thing as Santa Claus either.

And for the record i ain't no scientist, just a skeptic.

Someone should do it blind folded so they can't see what grip they are standing on. And also a 3rd party should be trying to throw them off balance. Not the dude who owns the company.

he did come, he did bring grip, these things did actually occur for whatever reasons, i did enjoy the show and feel funny because of it. i'm sure there were several factors at play in what happened and why. i know, as we all do, that this is just grip tape and there's no ground-up flying unicorn horns in it, but sometimes it's just fun to believe and go along for the ride. if it is real, awesome- i have no problem with magical grip tape. if it's not real, awesome- that we're spending this much time discussing grip tape this is noteworthy enough.
i like the blind test idea. maybe we can rig something here since we have the grip...

It's like the story of the midget accidentally being swallowed by the hippopotamus in the "you laugh you lose" thread. It's probably fake, but I prefer to think we live in a world where hippos swallow midgets who bounce incorrectly on trampolines. That world just seems cooler.

it has to be tested backwards as well. try the grip stance first and THEN the no-grip stance. the theory is, that if i push on you once (no matter what you're standing on) and you know i'm judging your balance, then push you again, you are better prepared to balance against the second push and therefore exhibit better balance. it's called practice/conditioning.
i'd be more impressed to find that the person was more stable on the first push (on the grip) than the second (off the grip) and that it was repeatable without the person's knowledge of what tape was being used. maybe. either way, I'm down to test some out and make my own mind up about it.

Not to mention the fact that people holding the crystals change the way they balance themselves when they bring the hand in and clutch the crystal
-
ok, who lives in the bay area and wants to come down here today to run this blind test with us? we'll film it and put it up. i want somebody from outside of the office involved so you know it's legit. first to hit me up via the thread gets the honors. i'll pm you back...

This Paradox marketing (after all, he deliberately came here to hype his product outside the "conventional" means of advertising--i.e. pay for it) is the skateboarding equivalent to a celebrity porn tape. http://www.gobignetwork.com/profiles/arievan-gold.aspx (http://www.gobignetwork.com/profiles/arievan-gold.aspx)).
This is quite the opposite of other technology cited here such as Powell's Bones Bushings, whose success is driven solely by the quality of the product. And do you really need a blind test to confirm the legitimacy of magic?
-
no, nobody needs to confirm the legitimacy, but we're having fun here right? i am.
-
Wait, I wonder if the super balance metaphysical quantum properties of this only apply to living things? Later on I'll see if I can stack needles on it, end to end.
I wonder if the harmonics of this grip can help alleviate some of the symptoms of cerebral palsy? I'm stoked that it's skaters that get this technology, not some stupid "hospitals" with their regular "doctors" and their "physical therapy" or whatever those cretins call it!
...edited to add, I hear something even more revolutionary is about to come out. Stay tuned!

You're right. Grip tape is fun. Like mopeds and fat chicks.

do you ship free grip internationally? cause if you don't you suck, simple as that...
-
Testing should be done on a scale, a digital scale, so you can accurately measure the pressure applied. You guys have one in shipping I presume.
Also, the pressure applied to the arm (on the balance test) and the hand (power test) should be applied gradually, meaning , slowly increase the force, not simply yanking. The flexibility test requires the person to actually twist as far as they can go, if the person being tested doesn't twist as far as they can go, they are simply not performing the test with an objective mind.
Record the weight of the person being tested, for example, 165 lbs. Apply the pressure to their arm (in the same place each time) and video how much they weigh when they knock over, for example-170lbs. = 5 lbs of pressure without Paradox grip.
Then do the same test with Paradox Grip, or do them in any sequence you prefer, it doesn't matter. We just did this at our shipping office and went from 10lbs of pressure without Paradox Grip, to 130 lbs of pressure with Paradox Grip on our 260 lb shipping guy, Steve.
This will be easier to quantify for people not actually experiencing the pressure applied to the body of the test subject.
looking forward to an objective, double blind test---go out on the street and test it on girls!! its fun and you get to meet chicks! Rubbers anyone?
haahhaa..
much love and more time in the 09

So wait a second here... you download pr0nz, then burn it, then watch a 320x240 clip on a full size TV? That's an awful lot of work man.
I'd be cautious if I were you... make sure the pixelation doesn't somehow trigger a sexual attraction to Lego sculptures or old Atari games.
I wanted to finish this post with some really sick metaphysical lessons that I learned from a spiritual doctor visiting from Haiti, but then I realized that all of that was just imaginary. I mean, Haiti isn't imaginary, but the whole scenario I was going to write about was. I think some of the delusions I'm undergoing are a side effect of being pro, but I'm not sure. I need to talk to Cliff and I SUCK about how to handle all of this.
Luckily my whispering acoustical folk music thing is keeping me really busy.

I know what you mean man, I'm on flow, and even without my name appearing in ads, kids are looking at me differently at the park. They see the turkey sandwich riser pads and are hyped! I'm hoping newt can send me some Grimcity pro models in my next package though. I hear they have a special formula that raises the board in a way that makes early grabs easier.

Totally true... thanks to the metatechnology involved, my signature tricks are not only easier to do, but I'll be able to do them well into my senior years.
Glad you're on board man. We're like blood brothers now, although I prefer the term "blood bros." BTW, I'll be over in SF in the latter part of July... trying to get everyone from Thiebaud to our own Mr. Mark together for a session, I just don't know when exactly. I'll be at the same hotel I was at last time when we met, being team mates we might want to show some of the locals what's up, you know?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Custer%27s_Revenge
Gameplay
In the game, the player controls the character of General George Armstrong Custer, depicted as a man wearing nothing but a cavalry hat, boots, and a bandana, sporting a visible erection. Custer has to overcome arrow attacks to reach the other side of the screen. His goal is to have intercourse with a naked, large-breasted Native American woman, named "Revenge."
-
I'm down, the only thing is, I'm not sure where I'll be in July. I'm moving to LA in August, and end my job in june, so its kind of limbo 'till then. The thought had crossed my mind to spend the summer pretty much randomly wandering around the country hitchhiking and trainhopping and shit until I went to LA and started going to school. My plan probably won't work, so let me know whats going on, because I'm in if I'm around.

Not sure we'll get to share karma dust when I'm down, it's a work trip, and beyond that I'll be hunting down my friends here and bothering everyone at Deluxe. Maybe I'll wear some griptape and let Mic E punch me in the face, see if I'm still standing and shit!

i'm still waiting for a PM from art newt saying i'm on the oxymoron flow team.....1 week and still nothing. :'(
it doesn't seem like i'm going to get on oxymoron so i guess i'll have to settle for my not-so-dream sponsor, paradox grip. just so you know, i'm better at skateboarding than COTG which means i'm better at skateboarding than all of slap. with that said, i look forward to receiving my first box of paradox along with that fat check but i'm still hoping for oxymoron to come through.

Either way, I want us to still be bros... I think Art's interested in you though, he was commenting about the puppy in one of the other

I said I want to sponsor your puppy if* if it is your puppy. Since you would be mooching off his box, I would bump you to flow based on association and ownership of said puppy.
Seriously, if that's your dog it's going down. Like I said before - fuck skateboarding bulldogs, the pupster in your av is the face I want for the K9 riser market. If supply me pics of that dog for ads, then we can also get some pics of you and the dog together and get you in the mix!

its a blind test right? make it so its just 2 random sheets of grip, and don't tell him what is supposed to be better about it.

Whitely,
To insure their isn't any crossover resonance factor--make sure the test grips are kept seperate from each other...not touching each other..the effect will not be as great without the circuit (hologram) but it will seep into the silicon carbide of other grip, slightly.
i.e. one board stays in trunk and one board stays in the front seat.....it will still work without doing this, but this would add more objectivity to the experiment.
Sex/Size Questions
if regards to sex...the "magic" f#@k it, that's what I'm callin it...will help you in sex....not in the size of your member..that's genetic...but it will keep in the hammer zone...you know, that place where you are rigid, but not too sensitive and can just punish that kitty...i like to call that zone the "hammer zone" after Greco's take on big shit to skate creating, "hammers"
it will help you stay it that "zone" for a longer period of time, though...hence the condom association...don't try the actual grip for this though..just sit some lube on your grip for an hour or so...and use the lube....for real....

Letting the sheets touch, fuck's sake! school boy error right there, thats like crossing the streams with your proton pack man. In fact, im suprised the universe hasn't imploded on itself.
So just out of interest, do paradox ship each sheet by itself???? We need answers post haste!

i hope the Stay Puffed marshmallow man doesn't come and focus the board with Paradox tape...

uh oh, rain in SF! we might be on hold with taking it to the streets...

whiteley,
for a true test...yes you will need other sheets of grip that has been kept at least three feet away from the Paradox. A resonance factor will affect the other grip, slightly, but it will effect it; and the boards need to be kept separate from each other, or a little resonance factor will happen as well.
Kinky john,
we can ship whatever...one sheet, a 20 sheet box, a hundred sheet box, two sheets...we got love for ya
the marshmallow man hasn't been seen as of yet, but you never know....

well we're definitely looking rained out for the day so we'll get some new tape together and try again soon...

First the JR interview delay now this!?
Get on the ball whitely :P I'm probably way too excited for this.
-
This bullshit about it losing power or whatever by being near other grip is ridiculous. So only water, beer, and other griptape suck the resonance off? I would assume if you can lose its magic powers by having it near that shit, it must be losing its magic pixy dust power constantly, considering its always near something that will be sucking its magic powers up. I mean, how does it keep its magic power when you break the rock up into its griptape size?
-
i thought it was that the power was going to transfer into the other tape, not that the magic tape was going to lose it's power?
JR delay- i'm waiting on this as much as you are. ASAP!
-
So in theory, if you owned a shop, could you just buy one sheet and use it to charge up all your jessup or mob tape?

naww..gipper:
you need the grip because its construction is superior, crystals don't shed off, the liner is more flexible and the "magic" generator holograms are imbedded into the grip.
no it doesn't get weaker, or leak out....but, it will make other griptape better just by being around it...not nearly as powerful as Paradox but , like 5% of its effect will be transferred. No it will not transfer to a box, only crystalline structures can hold the resonance. But, without a strong exposure to a "generator hologram" it will not last very long and the exposed material will have its "magical properties" dissipate rather rapidly.
If a shop just buys one sheet it will not charge their other types of grip very much(5%) and besides, as stated before, our grip is superior in more ways than one.
Like our donation model, our team, our custom flexible liner, our custom blend of 2 sizes of grit and our owner actually skates.
Paradox is THE NEW STANDARD by which all other griptape will be measured.
-
How does something radiate and not get weaker, or at least deplete whatever's being radiated until the energy begines to radiate something esle?
I mean, the Sun radiates because it burns hydrogen, and eventually that'll be gone so it'll radiate based off of helium.
In the same way physics dictates that we can't have perpetual motion machines, there's no way you can have something perpetually generate/release energy without either refueling or having it expend it's energy source.
-
the fact that you are so convinced of the superiority of your grip almost makes me want to try it out. but i'll wait until the Delatorre test to see what the deal is.
can you cut the grip up, or does it have to be in one full sheet?
-
anyone who's trying to make a buck off their own product is obviously going to think it's superior. especially in the griptape market...

no dude, this technology has a flammability warning.

...maybe the holograms are nookalaahr.
-
powerbalance.net is the creator of this formula. We have worldwide exclusive rights to use their," performance enhancing holograms" within griptape only. They, (PowerBalance) have had their "holograms" tested at Yale and anyone can email them to read get a copy. There is no raditiation, unlike your cell phone, your T.V and your computer. All of these electronic devices alter the space around them and the ionic exchange can be described as "Radiation", but maybe dual strokers can let us know the real deal. He's smart.
Grim:
When you burn a song on to a compact disk, does the song get less loud the more you play it? compact disks ( which, by the way are just a receptacle to hold the holographic material that actually receives and retains the encoded music from your computer) can play songs for an almost unlimited amount of times, unless they are scratched they do not "wear out" like an analog tape.
These "holograms" hold a special encoded sequence of tones, but that is just my guess, because, PowerBalance has not filed a patent which would disclose the procedure on their creation. I can only assume they chose this route due to , Trade Secrets, and by filing a patent other companies would be able to replicate similar technologies.
I have since created new formulas that actually surpass the effects of PowerBalance. We will release these in many forms in the future. The first formula that will be available and is currently being tested by many of the elite in our industry (no name drops).It is simply called, Paradox formula #13. And I just recently learned how to make clothing that is encoded with Paradox#13.
For right now, no one on the planet has a formula like PowerBalance, and yes they might be a little kooky, but their technology works and we license it, exclusively for grip only. Other brands, as well as The Navy Seals, The Green Berets and The Blue Angles utilize this resonance technology.
As far as cutting it up, no that won't affect it in any way. Actually that's one of our advantages with our flexible liner. It tears clean, without delamination and will make a siiick 80's tear grip steez...
This is the formula i sent Dual Strokers along with Master Yao's Shaolin Dragon Balm and the PowerBalance Hologram

How does something radiate and not get weaker, or at least deplete whatever's being radiated until the energy begines to radiate something esle?
that would be the ''magic'', did you learn nothing at school?

it works with beer!!!
and until you have worn alot of diamonds you do not know how it feels. Go into a diamond store and ask to wear some bling. It actually feels good. Breastplate of Solomon is another example of the power of stones. Not to mention the crown of kings, they are much more than just show.

You are a fucking idiot if you think that is why people like diamonds. Diamonds have gotten big as the result of pressure by the diamond cartels. They aren't more rare than any other gemstone, they have just been injected into our culture as a status symbol. There is a name for it, but it skips my mind. If being around diamonds makes everybody in better spirits, then why is it that in all of the countries where diamonds are mined, that there is civil war and genocide. Diamond miners are often humiliated, tortured, and killed by cartels such as de beers. Anybody who buys into diamond hype is not only an idiot, they are immoral. You only feel good wearing diamonds because it gives you a false sense of success, but that feeling you get is causing more pain and misery than you could possibly imagine.
Oh, and just so you know, I'm no scientist, but I don't think CD's radiate at all. If you hold 2 cd's next to eachother, they don't pick up songs from eachother.

so hold on, paradox grip wasnt a fake account?

Grandmaster Fu Wei Zhong, the 13th lineage holder of Chan Buddism would disagree with you. But you are welcome to your opinions. Have you worn diamonds before? They have value because they radiate pure love from the source, according to him. The violence created in the name of them has noting to do with them. They are just one of the 8 "high grade materials" created during the big bang, according to Grandmaster Fu Wei Zhong. In fact, they radiate love more than any other material, according to him.
I know this might be easy to clown and disregard, but it is real if you try it. Go to a store and with an open mind(can you do that) try on diamonds and notice how you feel. Then try on some wooden beads and notice how you feel. just a real test you can do yourself, IF YOU OPEN YOUR MIND TO GREATER POSSIBILITIES.
Your venomous name calling is not only childish, but is exactly what would be called immoral.
Research Chan Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism and The Golden Palace temple for more clarification on the 8 high grade materials and the 8 low grade materials created during the big bang or as GrandMaster Fu says in his accent, the big bong...haahha or Emei LinJi Chi Gong of which he is the lineage holder.
much love to ya gipper...what you say about the "business" of diamonds is sadly, true...but don't blame diamonds for these atrocities
blame the greedy men using diamonds to control, manipulate, torture and generally create all kinds of truly immoral actions.
The feeling has nothing to due with success or how valuable they have become. They became valuable because of how they make you feel, not th other way around.

Dear paradox grip,
I 'got love for ya', or whatever, but the gags wearing a bit thin now. Ive had a bit of a giggle at your pseudo scientific/spiritual waffle, but we all know its just to generate a bit of publicity, now do the right thing, tip up with some cash, pay the magazines and im sure they will happily advertise your grip tape. You never know, some one might actually buy it.
Best of luck chum.

Fuck grandmaster Fu Wei Zhong. Why the fuck should I care what he says, when I know that the most diamond filled areas in the world are NOT filled with happiness? If these diamonds "radiate pure love from the source" why is there so much suffering where they are most abundant? because what you are saying is bullshit. The people dying for your bling is very fucking real though. Watch the documentary "Cry Freetown" and check out some reality man. It's not pretty. Its ugly enough that I could never feel good with those blood rocks on me. That shit is the embodiment of bad karma.

Yeah, how ignorant of me to understand that diamonds are completely unnecessary for the purpose of jewelry, are artificially price inflated by diamond cartels, and that buying them contributes to political instability and genocide. I should just forget all of that and just think about how good diamonds feel. Do you go with that motto when you get blowjobs from crackwhores too?

i don't think he was calling you ignorant for that. i think it was for insulting the grandmaster.
-
I don't care. What he was saying is incredibly ignorant head-up-your-ass hippy faux-spirituality, and it causes real problems in the world. For him to call me ignorant is ass-backwards. I'm not even trying to name call in this, just point out how ridiculous him calling me ignorant is.
-
i apologize gipper and agree completely with your views on the business of diamonds. Just thought it wasn't smart to say, fuck you to Grandmaster Fu, that's all....he is a very holy man... equivalent to The Dali Lama (and by you not knowing about this, yet name calling him, some would consider as ignorant)...but they do also say, that ignorance is bliss...
you can tell me to fuck off anytime..i am not that holy...but i am on the path and put much effort to one day becoming a better human being maybe as good as Greg Carroll and the peace acadamy
quartz is also a high grade material, it just doesn't resonate quite as powerful as diamonds do. Hence its molecular structure isn't as compact as a diamond. A diamond being the hardest, or the most compact molecularly. It is a 10 on the harness scale, and quartz is a 7.

alright, since i don't believe in insulting dead people and talking bad about a guy who was obviously doing what he thought was best for the world, i'll leave all the anger out. I'm familiar with master wu. he (unfortunately) passed in 06. most of his career was spent teaching and practicing wushu. in china wushu is not really seen as a deep martial art as much as it is a sport. most wushu classes there, do NOT get into energy work. it's technique form and power. what they call external forms. i came up with a group of world class wushu/northern shaolin/kupigana ngumi practitioners and have been doing runs to china and demos in japan since 96. we learned the old way. Wushu's a total sport and most of the power in the stances have been lost due to improper teaching and lack of attention to detail over the years (the same years that Wu was the head of the wushu society out there). the same can be said about the chi styles he taught publicly. he never learned the short form Yang family style of tai chi. only professor ho chi kwang could've taught him that one and i personally know he didn't. the medical styles he "pioneered" were already in use for ages and although i don't want to paint him in a bad light (he was a good guy as i understand and a diligent student of what he was given) he is in no way equivalent to the Dalai Lama. maybe in your mind, as your personal experience makes his influence greater in your life, but i've met the dalai lama and i can tell you. no fucking way. i also have your grip and it's pretty good grip actually. i haven't noticed any difference in my ability to skate or balance, but that's fine.
oh yeah, diamonds do not radiate love. they amplify and regulate the energy that is passed through them. just like quartz only more efficient. regulation/amplification is totally different from "radiating love from the source". I think the source you mention may be imaginary. unless you're talking about the unified field. and even then...

Are you regular? Blaze is a cryptographer and all he did was successfully crack a few hints left by Randi... it's right there in the article you posted. The last sentence in his blog entry:
The fine work of the James Randi Educational Foundation deserves your attention and support. Check them out at www.randi.org.
Nothing metaphysical, nothing that proves the existence of "remote viewing" or any spiritually-gifted super powers. Blaze never formally applied for the challenge, nor is he making any attempt at getting the money because he understands that the million bucks isn't for solving puzzles, it's for people who make absurd, misleading, wrong headed, impossible tales like "Power Balance" and Paradox Griptape does.
Apply for the challenge, win it, make a million bucks. Before you talk about the tests being "rigged," keep in mind that the Randi tests are designed by the people who claim that they have certain gifts, powers, or in your case magical griptape. The only thing the Randi people do is set up controls so you can't cheat, and nobody judges the test, the conclusions are self-evident that way there's no fear of bias or subjectivity.

Kamiltoe: Thanks for the history lesson , I train with Master Greg Yao, his uncle is Grandmaster Chris Chan, who trained Bruce Lee is Wing Chun.
We will be putting video out with him showing Smolik some formulas and what they do to the human body.
My spiritual guide, Is Grandmaster Fu Wei Zhong, and he is very much alive and is the chinese, or Chan Buddhist, equivalent of The Dali Lama. He is the 13th Lineage Holder..Emei Linji Chi Gong.. has very little to do with physical martial arts. Its about uniting the energy from heaven, earth and human.
He is teaching right now for one more year only, then he will be only training the Shaolin monk to succeed him in the Lineage. The Master Wu you speak of id a great man, but no he doesn't have the spiritual knowledge that Grandmaster Fu Wei Zhong received at The Golden Palace Temple on top of the tallest mountain in China, Emei Mountain. In his presence i was actually able to see the Purple Flame of Yin energy. St Germaine calles this the Violet Flame.
Stoked you at least have a great education on Wushu, the acrobatic interpretation of southern Yang Long style.
Master Yao has surpassed even his shaolin teachers and is kinda, what Bruce could be like if he was 55 years old. He is into healing, not hurting.
As Far as the Randi Challange, I can recreate my formula at any time, anywhere. Ask Mark, or Smolik, or Lizard and anyone who has personally felt these in person. The rules of the challange state that I must pay for all expenses. Grim--you got me on that...hahhaa
In time there will be others who can make formulas, I just don't think they will be skaters.
Kamiltoe...have you tried the flexibility test, the power test and the balance test? it increases these qualities every time..even on Master Yao..who was so impressed that he is now training me, gratis, in his lineage--that includes Bruce Lee. If you live in San Francisco, I would be happy for you to meet him and see/feel for yourself, like smolik did.
PowerBalance does not have a patent and no one knows how they produce their formula. Except them and well, i figured it out too.
I asked Lizard if he still has the circuit i gave him 2 years ago. Not only did he pull it out, completely weathered, but said he never skates without it. And when I showed him the new formula in Carnelain, he said, "can i just eat this, so its in me all the time".
I recently learned how to encode clothing and two days ago gave Mr. Danny Way a prototype pair of socks and did the tests on him. He was quite impressed and not only requested some grip but the socks as well. These people are what are called Mavens... this board is filled with what are called connectors...both are very important and I commend everyone on here for their energy invested into this. As I mentioned before, It feeds us.

well paradox sent me some griptape to try out for free. they sent me 2 sheets of it and 2 jumbo size stickers, i just got it today so i havent tried it yet, but either way, thanks.
-
^^ahhh cool, i know him too, i thought you meant wu wei zhao (the guy most commonly referred to as grandmaster wu). if you know of him, you know why i thought that comment was so absurd. i still would not put weizhong in the same category as the dalai lama, but that's back to the personal experience thing again.
no i haven't tried the tests, because i wanted to forget about looking for details and pay attention to any obvious performance differences. i've tested it in everyday skate situations while not consciously aware of the grip and i get no obvious benefits. i may be able to discern differences on closer inspection, but it probably won't apply to what i do on my board, and if so, the effect seems to be negligible. but that's all very subjective stuff, i'm still interested to see the more objective studies with metrics and all that. experientially speaking though, no perceivable difference so far, and that's what we're really talking about here. I'm sure it might depend on my "sensitivity" to the fluctuations, but i consider myself to be pretty sensitive to energy.
and my education in the arts is mainly focused on the damo i ching chi, the imperial secret yang taijiquan, and healing arts these days. i grew up on wushu from youth. like i said it was approached more like a sport.

Kamiltoe...nice to meet another practitioner --even over the net...peep www.vorsong.com for my current sifu and his encoding he is doing in water.
keep walking the middle path..and if you get a chance to meet Grandmaster Fu Wei Zhong you will understand--this is the last year to do so though.
endurance is a factor as well..."name drop" who worked for BLITZ said he normally can't skate hard over an hour, but with the grip he was skating for three hours and didn't feel tired...
Our first Slap Review came today..here it is :o
Hey ari,
Thanks again for the grip.
I set it up on my last 2 boards, and it works quite well.
Not sure if it has anything to do with the engineering, or just motivation
But lately ive been getting quite a bit of footage.
But with that aside.
The quality of the grip is spot on.
Better than mob for grip quality, and the grit stays on much longer than jessup.
Plus it doesn't peel up like iron horse.
Good product and grips great
SkateFilmer....film the muscle tests...do it on girls, they will think your david blaine....haahaa your welcome and I look forward to your review.

-
I gotta say...
it does what griptape is suppost to do, and does it better than other grips I've had..
But the one thing that stood out most was.
When gripping it, non of the grit fell off on the counter while applying
Still unsure if I noticed any life changing effects
but its good grip.. and it doesnt cost anymore than normal grip

You're getting better in this department. Instead of calling on karma to avenge your detractors with a horrible death, you've identified "fag" rightfully as hate speech. However, sensing that homophobia may indeed be popular here, you've also contradicted the previous statement by only defending homosexuals who don't like men sexually and posess harems of hot bitches.
This is undeniably the greatest and best in the world griptape in the world...
Simultaneously the "greatest" and "best". Lots of things going on here. Libel, unsubstantiated, not scientifically proven (though it can never be, since these are subjective terms), and the only thing undeniable is that it won't make you smarter.

If anything the grip is too sticky and took forever to break in.

CrailTapper: the video is coming...the increase in balance is very easy to test and feel. The increase in power is also very easy to feel and demonstrate.
By saying it takes longer to break in, just means it actually lasts longer than other grip. Another "claim" that was made eariler in this thread.
Explaining this is proving to be difficult, but it does what it says it does everytime we have tested it on Pros, Fighters, Major League Baseball Players...it is actually amazingly effective and draws a crowd because even in person, it just doens't seem real. When you see the video of many respectable people in our industry and others, it STILL WON"T SEEM REAL. But, alas, those more seprated from ego tend to feel it more, as they less credence to themselves and are quite impressed by the performance enhancing qualities, like Karl Watson..as I said before he sought us out.
get fucked
sorry to hear you didn't have "a magical experience", it will nit make you better than you have the capacity to be. But, in will indeed help especially if you think more positive about landing your shit and don't bail or doubt. Who flowed you the grip and where?

From what I'm reading here I'm at least happy to see your hokey bullshit-laden product does what it's supposed to do, as in "BE GRIPTAPE". But I find it funny how badly you react to people who don't buy into it, it seems like you've got nothing but "love" and "more time in the '09" (whatever that means) for some, and then there are those who should "get fucked" because they're not being "positive" enough and have "doubt" about their abilities? So do negative waves cancel out the supercalafradgelisticespialidocious-ness of your grip?
I think it is you sir, who might benefit most from getting "fucked"
-
So, with this delatorre thing, do we get to see the footage? If the answer is yes, when do we see the results?
-
Uh, get fucked is a dude's name. He's not telling anyone to get fucked.
-
Oh, well my "get fucked" still stands
-
Figsy: actually yes, it is intention enhanced and works better with positive thought..
I am grateful you have enough time to complete all the wants you have each day..but me, i need more time..in the 09
and yes, my girls on the rag..i need some loving..true, very true...sex calms the mind...
and yes, the universal law of intention will have either beneficial or adversarial effects upon the human body..hence the next law, The Law of Attraction
Gipper: you will see footage of our team, Mark, Master Yao and a few select personalities soon....clockin footy..and mastering...soon..but even though you will see Mark, flabbergasted at the effects of this grip...it will still seem, not real....but it is and it does
Deltorre...when do we get the results?...curious, Mr Cochrane is quite familiar with this technology and from what I've heard, also a fan. Curious if the test was "tainted" be his approval of our technology.

don't be afraid of what cannot be expained by "modern" , newtonian physics
Sorry to be petty, but Einstein stepped up and corrected Newton's shit.

So.... it helps you skate better if you believe it will help you skate better? Your "technology" sounds like it's based around your standard everyday placebo effect
-
I'm all for positive thought, positive mindset takes you a long way, being a negative nancy sucks anyways. But I don't understand how a simple sheet of griptape can make me skate any better, it seems sort of gimmicky, like MOB. I like jessup it's pretty much all I've ever skated and it rules, I hope your business ventures take you far but you will receive zero business from this guy.....

And every other guy, girl, man woman and child I hope, this kind of wankey pseudo-science should be kept out of skateboarding, and remain where it belongs, in health food shops and holistic hippie bullshit emporiums.

Quantum technology is "affected" by the intention of the tester...it works "better" if you are positive and have the right intention with why you want to excel at skateboarding. These muscle tests, balance tests and flexibility tests clearly demonstrate the increases claimed by our testimonials. Even you don't think it will work, it will. While, if you think of taking life without a positive reason( like saving a loved one) it will not work. A problem the Army had with the technology. While the Navy Seals purchased and currently use this technology because it worked on all of the testers.

Why did it not work on the Army soldiers? The people tested do not have the belief that their work is positively intentioned.

That's awesome that you give back to the community, I've been booking non-profit DIY hardcore shows for the past couple years and I give back to the community all the time.........But I don't understand how you can say you've given back to community more than jessup, they've been around since the 80's and I'm sure they've slung loads of money at skateboarding, and you've got pat duffy on your team, I'm sure he gets a pretty fat check...............

no one gets paid on out team..our product is better...who doesn't want an edge...lizard king, Jake Brown, Karl Watson, Nilton Nieves, Terry Kennedy
jessup has to throw down 6k to get people to back their grip. They make ok grip, they paved the way for the use of silicon carbide as a substrate...but they shed crystals all over your shop...if you work at a shop...you know....ask our retailers about that one little aspect that makes us superior in their eyes...no cleanup
Stoked you give back..you are one of the few...good job...for real...keep it up....What charities do you help?

All the money I've made from shows has pretty much gone to people who help with food not bombs and starting a youth collective in the city of Chattanooga, TN. Pretty much a wasted effort though, I left and moved to florida about two weeks ago......Call me old fashioned, but I like vans, jessup, independent and bones. All this science behind griptape doesnt really mean much to me because I'm not a chemist... I'm not doubting that your griptape is good, I'm sure some people like it, but I don't really need an edge for my skating. I don't like super sticky griptape, and I don't really like getting used to new things, The last 5 skateboards I've bought have been the same exact size and shape and model....I tell you what, send me a free sheet, and if I like it, I'll pay you for it.

Well I'll be damned, your technology knows the difference between good and evil, amazing. If I wrap someone in paradox and throw them out a window, assuming they had good vibes AND lots more time in the '09 and all that, would they come back boomerang style?
I wasn't speaking for my local shop, as for what "history" it has I wouldn't know, I don't really care, but the guy who runs it is solid and is not a total kook, which is nice. And speaking of kooks, does your keyboard come fitted with a "namedrop" button, or did you add that yourself?

why can they have griptape but i don't? i am not meen. they say i am a bad one. i am -11. i am sad. you don't give me griptape. i am losing. mommy says i am stupid and bad because i told it. when can i have griptape please? they get it. i don't get it because i am stupid. i am stupid. mommy says I annoy her when i talk to people. she says i cant be in xgames because i am fat. she says i am stupid

ok i set up a board a couple days ago with this grip. when i first stood on my board it felt really weird, like i couldnt skate at all cuz it was too grippy. i skated for about 2 hours after that and its pretty good. i mean its just griptape. i think it does make a little difference in your balance, but nothing that i would actully pay for instead of free black magic at my shop.
haha idk but i was really tired and sore and then i skated for like a minute and i was really energetic and was skating fast, lol i dont know if that was from this grip or what

Paying riders is a good thing. They are, after all, professionals.

NO PAY = SLAVE LABOR!!!!!!!

i dont know how all your shops are, but the one i work at goes through mob like its going out of stlye. And you'll be surprised at how many kids will pitch a fit when all i have in is jessup or black magic.

You have to have a positive attitude for it to work? Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit this would be totally useless for me then.

That sucks, I have the biggest vendetta against MOB, it was just the worst shit I had ever skated. All I skate is jessup, I tried black magic once, and it was too sticky, I tried MOB once and it was just terrible, I even tried FKD and wasn't too into it. I'm going to try this paradox stuff(getting a sample of it) and if it's cool then word up, but I'm probably sticking with jessup....

It seems it doesn't work on some people, as far as your team, the only thing I've learned about them since you were so kind as to constantly mention their names, here and in other unrelated threads, is that A. They'll believe anything, and B. They have very poor business acumen, as in there are plenty of companies who pay actual money (not power crystals or whatever) for people like them to represent their brand of sticky-back sandpaper.
And again, I did say I wasn't speaking for my shop, also I didn't I say I'd throw you through a window. As for how much "credibility" my shop has, well, the owner has never created an account on slap solely to push his product and wacky beliefs on other people, so yeah, I'd say my shop has some credibility
-
should board companies make grip? like hardware companies make bearings and other shit.
if the deck company is legit would its grip be legit as well?
-
B. They have very poor business acumen, as in there are plenty of companies who pay actual money (not power crystals or whatever) for people like them to represent their brand of sticky-back sandpaper.
No doubt if they were good businessmen and really liked Paradox they'd take the Jessup checks and then use Paradox. Pros have been doing that shit with trucks/wheels/bearings/wood for ages.

I dunno about that man, I think there'd be some negative waves associated with such dishonesty, in which case paradox wouldn't work properly. Come on man, this is science we're talking about!

CrailTapper: the video is coming...the increase in balance is very easy to test and feel. The increase in power is also very easy to feel and demonstrate.
By saying it takes longer to break in, just means it actually lasts longer than other grip. Another "claim" that was made eariler in this thread.
Explaining this is proving to be difficult, but it does what it says it does everytime we have tested it on Pros, Fighters, Major League Baseball Players...it is actually amazingly effective and draws a crowd because even in person, it just doens't seem real. When you see the video of many respectable people in our industry and others, it STILL WON"T SEEM REAL. But, alas, those more seprated from ego tend to feel it more, as they less credence to themselves and are quite impressed by the performance enhancing qualities, like Karl Watson..as I said before he sought us out.
get fucked
sorry to hear you didn't have "a magical experience", it will nit make you better than you have the capacity to be. But, in will indeed help especially if you think more positive about landing your shit and don't bail or doubt. Who flowed you the grip and where?

fuck
no one skate this
this grip tape is actually an alien life form who put super power cyrstals in the grip so the more you use it the more you turn into an alien scum
that is why your balance gets better and you need "postive" vibes for it to work, because it sucks the postivity out of u.
paradox grip is actually a kid who figured this out so he came on to slap and decided to be such a name dropping industry whore that no one would buy this shit.
in all serious-ness send me some free grip tape

How can a company exist on selling grip tape alone? They need to start selling shoes as well. Wait, I see the connection: a shoe and grip combo! I need to get some seed money...

kids have come by and asked for MOB then i explain how it cost more than any other grip for no reason whatsoever, then they get jessup.
i don't understand the kids who like spending money on stupid gimmicky stuff? i usually tell them to put their money towards their next board since thats actually going to help them skate more and get better than technologically advanced griptape or other random BS.
i will give credit to paradox though, him coming here to pimp his grip has made this awesome thread full of funny.
-
the charge more for MOB because it has holes in it? forgive my ignorance but i haven't been to a regular shop in a while. i just got a 20 sheet box of the stuff from a friend in a trade, i think it works just fine. peals up on the corners on occasion but it's cool by me.
-
the charge more for MOB because it has holes in it?
what are the advantages to perforated grip? what makes it any different from the regular stuff?

the only differences i know of are that its thicker, heavier, and a bit stiffer than jessup.
it being thicker and heavier doesn't make a real difference, the advantage of it being stiffer is that it makes it easier to grip without getting air bubbles but i've gripped like 10000 boards and i don't get air bubbles anyway.
i've been to a couple of shops that carry MOB and its usually $8-$10 a sheet, WTF? why should a kid have to pay more for griptape thats "easier" to grip when they're going to grip it for you at the shop anyway?
i didn't realize it had holes in it or that it was perforated or what have you, but that would mean theres less chance of getting air bubbles but again it not worth spending the extra money IMO.
-
Fuck MOB.

Fuck MOB.
probably the best first post in awhile. nice one.

-
I never got the point of MOB, it seems like their whole selling point, at first anyhow, was that the holes meant you wouldn't get air bubbles while gripping a board, but I don't think that was ever a large scale problem for anyone. I'm sure everyone got an air bubble or two the first time they gripped a board themselves but I wouldn't be trying to market a brand of grip around that fact
-
more time skating, less time trying to fix your shitty grip job. it's a regular gimmick that somehow succeeded. at least they didn't make any bogus claims then tirelessly defend the "technology", the effectiveness of which somehow hinges on whether you have a positive attitude.

I wouldnt doubt that it works. Seems really far-fetched though. I do believe in energy and positive force/thought. so why not give it a try? I just hope it dosnt wear down your shoes faster.

MOB costs more because they need to pay their Jerry Hsu's and other famous people.

paradox slap test.....it feels good, real good... ;D
-
I have had kids come in with their own sheet of mob grip, even though we throw in free jessup with the purchase of a deck. I will always ask a bunch of questions about why they would rather have mob...
In all honesty though, I think mob is technically "grippier"
It will take off half of your shoe in one go, It is hard as hell to get used to the first day you ride your new board.
I feel like even if all the paradox claims were true, I'd still rather not try it out anyways. In this tough economic climate, there's a very good chance they will go out of business. If i get used to grip with crystal voodoo in it, how would I ever go back to the normal stuff if it ceased to exist?
-
we are not going anywhere...we got you, you got us, the doogood conservatory survives forever
jessup has smaller crystals..what is commonly called 80 grit silicon carbide
MOB has bigger crystals, 70 grit...
we have a custom blend of 70 grit and 80 grit..that is why it looks a little different as well. Larger crystals reflect more light than smaller ones.
our liner flexes, so the crystals don't shed off..when you tryit you will notice that crystals don't shed all over your shop...a bonus

we have a custom blend of 70 grit and 80 grit..that is why it looks a little different as well. Larger crystals reflect more light than smaller ones.
our liner flexes, so the crystals don't shed off..when you tryit you will notice that crystals don't shed all over your shop...a bonus
if the grit flexes, do you still get the white line when you run a file around the edges so it's easier to cut? if not, then how does that work?

I would first like to apologize for the delayed response, as I have been extremely busy lately.
I did receive the samples Mr. Gold, and I appreciate the gesture.
I would like you to know that despite having always been entirely doubtless that your product and everything about it is unassailably false, I happen to be in a position through my work where I have access to facilities that contain both scanning and transmission electron microscopes. However, perhaps you did not know, as I myself was not aware, that tomography produced by such expensive equipment requires money and resources in order to prepare the samples for viewing. When I explained the purpose of the research to my associates, they scoffed at the thought of wasting the lab's resources on such "such blatant and deplorable nonsense" as magic griptape.
I offered to take these images in the first place because I was disgusted at your attempts undermine science to market such a laughable gimmick and wanted to make it my job to expose you as a liar. I was personally insulted by your pm. "quantum mechanics 101...the intent of the tester affects the result of the test" You mustn't know very much about quantum mechanics to know that not only is that statement false and defiant of physical law, it has nothing to do with quantum mechanics whatsoever. But as you disgrace your own name with every word you type, I realize that any rational argument upheld against your magic griptape is as futile as that crazy riser company that Newt came up with. I could write books of thorough, fact based analyses that completely disprove everything you say (and anyone who differs can refer to my previous posts) but I won't ever waste my time giving attention to such scum as yourself.
Good luck with your scam.

Hahaha it looks like he got a good review on the main page.
I don't really know what to think about all of this, but I really see no reason for the hate. The guy even offered to send me a free sheet of griptape to test it out. I personally declined, but the way I see it, he's willing to let the griptape do the talking then he can claim whatever he wants.

Letting the griptape do the talking implies that he stops talking.

Dual strokers: I apologize if offended you but, you have proven nothing, but a fierce clinging to archaic scientific thought. Quantum tests have confirmed that if the tester wants the cell to propagate, it does, if they do not want it to-- it doesn't, if the tester has no agenda..nothing happens...I do not have the tests, but have read the papers about the tests.
According to Emei Lin Ji Chi Gong, Chan Buddism and Grandmaster Fu Wei Zhong
The blood is the magnetic stream of our biofield, the bones contain the electricity, these fields together form the human electro-magnetic Bio-Field.
The Human Biofield is not properly grounded due to rubber-soled shoes and Electro-Magnetic pollution from power lines, cable lines, ELF (extremely low frequency waves) and microwaves. Human emotion has been directly linked with specific degrees of Hertz and can also generate these fields as well. I can safely assume you have never heard or been to The Medicine-less Hospital in Bejing that has cured every known disease by focusing emotion with intention, or what is commonly known as CHI-GONG. Using these fields of energy and a more complete view of their effects cannot be explained by modern science. We simply do not have the right measuring tools. Kirilian Photography is a very gross interpretation of this field, but it is a stepping stone to future tools that will be able to not only magnify these fields into parameters easily recordable, but also to measure the differing intensities
Scam--have you seen the front page test? you think this whole board is stupid? my riders are not feeling better balanced and i am here to scam?
Scum? What ? What great works of philanthropy have you been doing for the last seven years to help your fellow man?
and good luck? your a classic passive aggressive...That statement in itself is paradoxical. Was that intentional?
What do you do on Christmas Day? Do you help others? Scum...wow
Let me guess? The Materials Science Department at UC Berkeley said each picture is about 10k...didn't want to prove your point that bad, huh?
That's o.k., i understand..that's alot of money for one picture. So what have you done to test it out in other ways? Have you replicated the balance tests that Mark so easily replicated on the home page. How about doing it on a pressure scale and filming it?
Do something..I spent the time, the energy, spent money to send it to you and now you just sit on your archaic academic laurels and scoff that you couldn't be bothered with testing skateboard griptape...cm- on maannn
I was counting on your influence to get those pics for free......haaha guess we will have to pay for them ourselves

Yeah man what's the deal? I would've thought someone who's felt the power of paradox would be down for life? ???
-
ok, here's the deal... i met Lizard about 2 years ago at a contest and gave him the rundown and a circuit (hologram) on a plastic card.
When we got him on, he said, "Hey ari, look..and pulled out the circuit card i had given him 2 years previously. He stated," I never skate without it. i'm superstitious as hell". So, basically for the past 2 years, Lizard has been using the "magic" every time he skates. Before the Wallenberg contest, after finding out that riding for Deathwish includes riding for Shake Junt. He's like, "i could just spray paint shake junt over Paradox". But, its cool, Deathwish is his board sponsor and those guys are his homies..sooo what can you do. I gave Lizard a special formula I made just for him in a special green ocean jasper stone. It is very powerful and he skated with it that day. I also approached Ellington to let him know I was in no way attempting to take any of his riders and that Lizard had stated, in front of many people, that he did not have a grip sponsor. Ellington said, " When i read it in Transworld, it kinda came as a surprise." He seemed genuinely hurt by it. I kinda was nervous, so i probably spoke too much (yeah me --talk too much...hahhaa) but told him that we could make grip for him and that was that. My first lesson in skate politics. But as a wise man once told me, riders don't make your brand.
But, good news THE MAN, THE MYTH, SKATEBOARDING'S ORIGINAL STREET BAD BOY, MR. SEAN SHEFFEY IS NOW ON PARADOX GRIP and has a new lease on life, is clocking footy and is livin clean and sober....What? Is team paradox doin Fuel TV's Daily Habit? Who will be there? What will Pat Parnell think about "The Magic Griptape"? Stay tuned....

I'm glad you were able to reassure Ellington, I'm sure one of the most popular pro's around running the hot new company at the moment, with a team full of his friends was worried the man with the magic grip was gonna lure Lizard King away.
Somehow I find it hard to believe riding for Deathwish "means" riding for shake junt, the baker crew have never operated like that.
Look, you're a kook who for some reason feels the need to type like he's the announcer from that old Batman show, what's with all the question marks?
Anyway, here's your answers:
1. Huh?
2. What the hell is a fuel tv?
3. I don't know, but I'm sure you'll list off the contents page of some skate mag soon enough. I'm guessing every pro ever, living or dead.
4. What does Pat Parnell think about my haircut? He never calls anymore... But seriously, every person you say is "backing" paradox is just another skater I put on my naughty list, naught being the amount of money I'd spend on any product endorsed by any easily tricked hippie fuckwad who believes in magic.

i had a spiderman comic with a hologram on the cover. i was able to read this one much faster, clearer, and it was harder to knock me over.

How many times do you need to repeat this story? I didn't really need anything answered either.
ari himself admitted that plum said it was just a superstition. Just like lucky rabbits feet and throwing salt over your shoulder. I wonder how much _real_ marketing this ari fool could be doing to get his product out, rather than preach on a messageboard full of dudes who obviously don't believe in this shit.

I'm a LONG time slap lurker and decided to create an account to get my hands on this griptape. This past weekend I set up a new anti hero board with the same indy's and spitfires that I've had for the past few months. I skated the local park for a total of about 5 hours for the weekend, and all I can say is that there is definitely some magic going on. I immediately noticed as soon as I rode the tranny that the ride was smoother and the board felt super light. I've ridden nothing but deluxe boards for a really long time, but this one felt the lightest while riding. I honestly felt more balanced even on backside tailslides which I can almost never slide and roll away from. Manuals felt a little more comfortable to me which never happens when I get a new board. My ollies felt way more effortless too. I probably seem crazy but I am 100% backing this stuff. I even made a random dude at the park try out the board without telling him anything about the grip, and even he noticed a huge difference in how the board felt, and he was riding a deluxe board! I'm going to skate a little more later tonight and focus on those positive thoughts. All in all, the grit itself felt really good, but my only complaint is that the grip peels off on the sides a little too easily. Other than that, I'm fully sold. ;D
-
^
GG's a homie of mine and told the same over the phone. I'm leaning more towards the fact that you were rolling on a new deck, but I just applied my hologrip to a new complete I'm doing a video review for.
For the record, given Ari's completely non scientific "scientific" explanations & his healthy blend of mystical energies, I am a certifiable non-believer. However, I'm sure it's as good a griptape as any, but that's the extent of it. I plan on putting the deck I'm reviewing through it's paces, and though I think everything described about the grip (except for the grits used) is bullshit, I'll acknowledge anything extraordinary (that can't be explained by having all new gear). However, anyone that knows me here in real life also knows I'm one of the happiest, if not goofiest skaters in this area. I would hope that any powers this griptape has will manifest themselves regardless.
Having said that, my credit card has a hologram too, and that shit ain't balancing right at all.

Grim: sorry i am not a scientist, just explaining it, how i understand it. but as far as the technology goes: peep the new issue of Rolling Stone with an article about PowerBalance in it with quotes from mainstream jocks who use it and endorse its effects.
Here are some more quotes from jocks who get really big paychecks to play their sport and alot of pressure to perform comes along with those checks.
TESTIMONIALS:
"PowerBalance keeps me focused and balanced every play, every day!"
-Mark Sanchez QB New York Jets 1st Round Draft Pick
"PowerBalance is a no brainer and I love the technology." "The guys on my team love PowerBalance, thank you so much"
-Teemu Selanne Anaheim Ducks
"The added balance, strength, flexibility, and endurance Power/Balance gives me is incredible. But, more than anything, because of these benefits, Power/Balance gives me the extra bit of confidence I need to know that as long as I am wearing the technology, I will be performing at my very best."
-Jordan Palmer, NFL Quarterback, Cincinnati Bengals.
"Your Product Is Really Amazing!!! After last nights game, I am anxious to get all of the players wearing the Power Balance Wrist Band, not just Steve Nash, Shaq & Barbosa."
-Steve Kerr, President, Phoenix Suns.
"When I first heard about Power/Balance, I thought oh great another product that is supposed to make you better at your sport that becomes more of a superstition than anything else. But when I wore it, I knew this was something special. I am torn between giving up this secret to my teammates and just keeping it to myself so nobody else has this edge. Haha!"
-Taylor Holiday, New York Yankees
"My sport is all about speed, power and balance. We have some of the greatest athletes in the world who apply their skills on a sheet of ice while balanced on a pair of blades. Constantly being hit, spun around and trying to get an edge on a opponent requires maximum concentration and body control. Since trying Power Balance I have been blown away by how great I feel on the ice. The best way I can describe the difference is that I feel more grounded and in control of what my body is doing. I have shared the product with my team and it is now in most guy's skates and shoulder pads. Trying to explain what a hologram is to my teammates didn't exactly sell them but the balance and flexibility tests with and without the product was an instant hit. We could not believe the immediate difference it made in our results. I am always looking for an edge in performance and I believe that we have found one in Power Balance. Thanks guys."
-Andrew Ference, Alternate Captain, Boston Bruins.
"I had been using some other products that were supposed to give me an edge on the competition, but I never really noticed anything. Once I got a hold of Power/Balance, I immediately noticed the difference. My ability to keep my balance throughout my entire swing was improved 100%."
-Bryan Petersen, Florida Marlins
"I am so stoked with Power/Balance that I have created my pro-model traction with Power/Balance technology built in&I would suggest this product for anyone who is looking to step up their game."
-Josh Buran, professional surfer
FAQS:
How was POWER BALANCE developed?
POWER BALANCE was developed as the marriage of two ideas: First, years of extensive research into holographic and lenticular media showed the complexity of the hologram and the fact that it can be programmed to hold certain frequencies. Second, further research was necessary to understand what frequency it was that best promoted energy flow throughout the body. Once discovered, this led to the unconventional programming of bio-resonating frequencies onto holograms. The result was POWER BALANCE. Similar forms of this technology have been used in Eastern medicine for centuries and are quickly being introduced and embraced in the west.

I set Paradox up on my new Krooked board and I didn't notice any difference at all, actually I flung the board into my ankle after 20 minutes of skating and now it's all swollen and painful.
So if anything fuck you Paradox and your gypsy magic
Which caused me to hurt my ankle

it works alot better if you think positive...sorry boobies

...and determine that it's garbage pseudo science.
I've actually spent a much longer amount of time researching Power Balance than I ever intended. I've read up on competitor's holographic well-being shits... I only hope you didn't lose a lot of money licensing these little inserts. I really mean that... I dig the Do Good cause, but if you aren't attempting to scam people (...at this point I think you're a true believer), you've been duped.

so you're comparing this along the lines of a performance enhancer for athletes? dayum i thought those were illegal, immoral, and shrunk your wee-wee.

Ari, you know damn well that those mainstream cats are sponsored all the way down to their toilet paper. They aren't saying shit without some sort of incentive to do so from Power Balance.
-
I can't believe that guy would post those quotes about Power Balance.
-
so, to summarize... if I think happy thoughts I'll skate better, but I should buy your grip because it's magical?
-
mcpeepantsyep yep.. and yep
Grim: not sure if power balance is lacing them up..but thought it would be cool to quote...
in general: Lizard is off, Jake duncombe is on
chris senn heard the hype, in china, and is stoked to try "the magic" ..got a call from him outta the blue today..post when its official
you can now buy Paradox at the best shops in the bay, 510 and FTC....
-
Set up and skated my paradox finally. It is great grip! You guys can hate all you want but the grip is good. I sanded it down with itself and still no crystals shed. Isn't too gritty for new grip either. Thanks for hooking it up for free Ari 8)

I got my grip today and will set up a new board.
Thanks alot Ari.

review from the Doc....whaa..another happy skater being happy, skating....yea...
FTC is where you can get Paradox in SF...go get some if you live in the bay, 510 also pushes Paradox...oh, did i mention, Sean Sheffey on Paradox and skating...got clips for the new promo even...dennis martin will be the man behind our video....
-
have you hooked up any canadian slappers yet? if so ill gladly accept.
-
yes we have...but, alas all things have to end and well...we will do another promo soon....ask your local shop to carry it....
Oh, did you hear? Jake Duncombe on Paradox....in case you didn't know...

I don't really need a new board right now and I fucked up my ankle, so it will be a while before I can give an opinion. Thanks for the grip anyways!
-
seems like big time joke to me. he has to be messing around with everyone.
-
ari, if i get a sheet, can i change the ionization and positive charge of the grip by telling it that it's parents don't love it and it will continue making poor decisions in life? will this effect the fun-to-magic ratio of my grip performance? will this enhance my griptapes performance because it will now be eager to prove me wrong?
also does it come in green?

Review:
Ok, so I didn't try Paradox to prove anything wrong and I put it on as if it were any other grip tape. I didn't ride around with it on expecting to be able to skate any better than usual either, i had my standard positive mindset that I get when I get the chance to skate. And the griptape doesn't make a difference. I don't think that comes as a surprise to anyone here. It wasn't bad grip tape, it just wasn't "magic" (what a shocker). It skates like everyother grip tape you have ever tried, but at least it was free so no complaints.
After I skated it I looked into the alleged technology behind it and it's not even remotely credible. I say someone should give this thread the Simpson's treatment and let it die or something because this guy shouldn't be getting any more publicity.
-
the only reason it hasnt died yet is because every couple days he comes back and bumps all of his paradox threads. its getting annoying.

I'm working on a deck/paradox board review and my experience with the grip is the same. It's griptape. It does things that griptape normally does. So far the only unique thing about it are the holograms embedded in the adhesive side.
I can honestly say that this is the first time I've ever skated griptape that had holograms in it. They're there all right. Anyway, should have footy up in another week and a half or two.
-
I tried out a sheet on my last deck and really liked it. Like everyone else, I didn't notice any "magic," BUT as far as griptape is concerned, it is a very good product. As far as being unique, the holograms made me laugh a bit, but the 70/80 grit combination was really effective. It seemed like a good balance between standard jessup and shoe destroying mob, black magic, etc. As a plus the stuff cuts like butter and I didn't have any edges peeling up even after 3 or 4 weeks.
As far as the "thinking positive" aspect of the grip tape, all this positive energy effecting the grip thing might be a stretch, but looking down at the Paradox logo and the story behind it and imagining Ari talking about ancient Chinese zen shit on SLAP would always make me laugh at the absurdity of all this. So I guess in some weird way the grip made me more positive when I was skating it.
Lastly, I don't understand all this hate. I'd like to think this powerbalance, magic technology is sort of a joke. But even if it the makers actually believe in all that, the bottom line is that this is a small up-and-coming company that's making a product that's superior to the competitors at the same price. What's not to like?
I know its just grip tape, and I was skeptical before I tried it, but Paradox is definitely an improvement from Mob and Jessup.

Another good review, hmm i sense a pattern here.
ari, if i get a sheet, can i change the ionization and positive charge of the grip by telling it that it's parents don't love it and it will continue making poor decisions in life? will this effect the fun-to-magic ratio of my grip performance? will this enhance my griptapes performance because it will now be eager to prove me wrong?
also does it come in green?
Black only, sorry bruddah. No, your energy cannot overide the circuits, just make them less effective.
GRim: Looking forward to your review

Ok, I apologize in advance if I'm talking in a kind of "Skateboarding 101"way at times. A lot of the people that subscribe to my channel are groms, s I try to explain what I can.
Anyway, the review is partly about the deck that was sent to me by a little crew out of Connecticut, the rest is PARADOX. It might help to view the video info on each one for more opining.
This part is the boring overview, prelude and setup (no skating, just talking):

This is part two, with some skating and a summary:

I doubt you'd miss much by skipping the first video. Glad it's done 'cause it's been fucking hot.

Good review man.
I'd write a little about what I thought about the grip, but sadly I didn't even get to try it out. I was sent a sample in the mail and as I was trying to apply it onto my board that shit would not stick on at all. Everytime I'd try to trim the sides the grip would move out of place because it just wouldn't stick to the top of my board. I ended up just peeling it off. I dunno if it was a bad batch of adhesives used on my sheet, but it just would not stay on. I ended up buying a sheet of jessup instead.

Well obviously the grip was irreparably damaged when you cut out not only the Paradox logo, but also at least one of the PowerBalance holograms on the bottom. It can only work at its full potential when the space-time-marketing continuum is intact.

Ari said you could cut them, but still, I had like five intact holomagics in there. I should have been able to change physics at will.

wow are you fucking serious??

I don't care about the whole hologram thing or whatever but i just ordered a sheet of this with my board because it was cheaper than mob and the site had no jessup. for those that tried it, is it as tough as mob? does it destroy your shoes? or is it more mellow

i kno u must b really worried bout the performance of the grip u r gettin , ok ,i've been there trust me, very nerve racking i kno. but basically the grip is unbelievably good . like sometiems when i skate my shoe laces come untied n while i was sk8ing paradox the grip actually tied my shoes for me on 3 different occasions. i can't explain this shit but it is so sik, enjoy. oh and also it makes your kickflips flick so good, but kind of hard to do ollie norths for the first couple weeks. peace
