The Set-up Thread

[CoMpLeMenTs4Uonlysometime]

My own design, pressed in the same press as this «artsy» small run company called Woodland skateboards.
8.4 x 31.5, 14 inch wheelbase.
The rune bands say «sakta leva, gamal dauða», Old Norse for «live slow, die old».
The sigil in the middle is an old Icelandic galdrastav for protection so I won’t need a helmet.


Independent 149, soft bushings and riptide pivot cups
Slime Balls, 54mm 97A
Cheapshots

Looks good.  are those 151s?

[Htownlegend]

Hahaha I cant believe you guys care about my grip that much. Here let me post my new board. Tell me if I did better

[Htownlegend]

Once again, I dont sand, or file the edges. I lay it down and cut. I never cared how my girip comes out. As long as it's there is all that matters to me.

Nice try, we know this one was done by your favorite zumiez cashier.

I think 149s maybe. I can't really remember..

[Htownlegend]

Nope not that one, that's all me. I usually do let the zumiez girl grip it though. She can grip a deck good.

[Htownlegend]

I do get my shit from zumiez, but here's the reason why. I live literally right next to the mall. I can walk there, and I usually do. There is no skate shops even close to me. The nearest one is 30 minutes away and in Houston traffic could take up to an hour.

I hate the dims, but this is really sick dude! The design came out well done, and as much as I love a painted board, dig the woodgrain! I kinda see why so many dudes are making board companies, it must be fun to do your own graphics.

Dude you sound pretty punk. You don't even care if you have pieces of grip overlapping each other, that's how much you don't give a fuck. Have you ever thought about starting a band?

Rick kane!!! Is Chandler still teaching you how to surf?? Have you gotten to ride lance burkarts board yet?? I'm so glad you asked if I ever thought about starting a band. Yes I have!! Let me tell you all about it.

[TurdyBird]

 I want Htown to stop posting at this point,  so everyone else will chill the fuck out and stop mentioning how shitty his grip is, and how bitter and conceited he is.

[SneakySecrets]

My only advice is that a razor blade works much better to cut away the excess than gnawing it off with your teeth.

[Htownlegend]

I go though at least 2-3 boards a month. I set up fucking quick and then skate. These decks are disposable to me. I'll leave the perfect griptape to the squares, I'd rather go skate.

You'd think setting up all those boards, you'd know how to grip one by now.

What does your old band think of that grip job?
What was the name of that band?

[Htownlegend]

Wrong thread. For my band please go to the Riley thread. Some dickhead actually searched for it and found it.

ditto - nothing about this scenario is shalom
