Caught in the grip
« on: February 06, 2019, 01:54:29 PM »
Am I the only one getting targeted by sponsored ads for rubber griptape on IG? I rode the aws ping pong cruiser years ago, the grip worked better than I expected. That being said, I could never see myself putting anything but Jessup on top of my modern day steed. It seems sacriligeous to change, but I do understand that grip itself is ruining your shoes and kinda helps the footwear side of the industry make too much money. I bet the YouTube skaters are eating this shit up with their backwards suspension trucks and sidewinder wheels. Thoughts?

I used to ride Mob, switched to bro style. Those dudes need all the support they can get. I rode a guys board that had the rubber grip a few years ago, hated it. I hate almost all that gimmicky shit.

Never seen one, do you mind sharing any more info or videos?

I always thought that griptapes were a ripoff

2nd vote would be for PJ. sometimes it is a fine command of the english language to say nothing and he extended that to skating. PJ's plan B part is the emperor's new clothes.

Keep getting ads for this from various online skateshops, notably Braille skateboards...
