yes he does.




7.81 Mariano
Indys w/Powell bushings
54mm Spits
swissfire bearings
Chocolate bolts
girl/mob grip

Dumb question, but how do you cut the grip into such neat squares?  I used to use a junked heavy duty paper cutter, and it did the job well but I don't have access to that anymore.  Just use a straight edge and razor blade with a steady hand?

Every one in a while I get creative with my grip, but nothing close to Randozzi's stuff... actually I think my designs make kids cry. At best they ask me what "happened" to my board.

I'm stoked on it too. Man, now I want to do it. I'm gonna set up a board later and try it. I predict crooked lines and uneven shapes.

For years I had been telling my best friend that I wanted to get a freestyle board... a real one with the tight ass trucks and everything to dork around on... he set me up with this not too long ago:


So anyway, it's an old Nate Sherwood on new Indys and Trujillios... you'd think it would cancel itself out.

Know a kid who only rides those shapes.  Hes considered a pro freestyler.  Think its cool people are keeping that depth of skateboarding alive even if it isn't my cup of tea.  Heres a vid, hes a bit of a character but I guess you gotta be to freestyle skate...

Yeah man, I rag out cars because of my job and found a deal that I couldn't pass up. Plus it's been a dream of mine since 2002/03 to have one with a cheesy skateboard related license plate. I'm a kook.

Beer Wizard: Part of me has just always wanted to play around on one because it's such a different flavor than the other stuff I skate, but the other part of me is hoping that if I wind up a competent freestyler, I might be a skateboard industry mogul.

Randozzi does have the sickest grip jobs but if I attempted that I'd be too ADD'd out to skate it, I like 1 plain black strip otherwise I can't concentrate. Different strokes for different folks, but I'm always impressed by the sickness Randozzi brings to the top of his board.

Yeah dude. I have an X in my front bolts and nothing else.

Grim-what's your license plate say since it's cheesy/skate-nerdy?
