Stop asking the dude at the skate shop to grip your board

[kook1234]

I don’t mean to pile on because they’re already in here making gifs of you but the “XS” make me think of “extra small” and the name reads “extra small progression” which I’m sure is the opposite of your intent with the videos.

Should I also stop asking my barista to steam the milk because I can walk back there and do it my damn self? Or the bartender to not fill my pint because any idiot knows how to pull down on the tap?

You don’t enjoy doing it?  I like the whole ritual of it- and it’s always satisfying to crank out a perfect grip job.

Gotta enjoy the little things in life y’know?

for certain.
there are many things i can do, that i don’t always want to do.
if the shop offers, i say yes. they’ll do a better job. i don’t do polar grip.

i’m good with either way.

Wanna just get in a pointless argument about it anyways because this is the internet?

In my 19 years of skating, I have never applied grip well and at this point it’s a running joke with my friends but I refuse to ask anyone to do it because why, as a man, are you asking another grown man to grip your board.

Usually I have to full mojo it myself. I never take a razor to my board. I feel it's better luck to use a truck or the side of a screwdriver.

So you just grind the whole thing off? You'd need to scrape it for an hour without a file.

Yeah. I been doing it so long I got it in 3 passes. It's a thing now tho.

File is definitely the move tho
