Bad photo but I bought a new deck for my bday and tried to do something different with the grip.
How did you do that?
clear grip and a little gluestick or some spray adhesive no doubt. I'm 'bout to do a similar job on this board I'm working on right now. wraparound graphic thats cleargrip die-cut.
Anyways, on to my purchases
Got a couple shop decks as xmas gifts for some friends back east, along with this sick fantasy art poster for one of 'em.
Got the WWF Championship belt for a buck at a thrift store, I'm gonna fuck with it and turn it into a trophy for a series of mini ramp contests that I'm planning for the spring.
(its gonna be semi-wrestling/boxing themed. Ropes and turnbuckles round the deck, head to head and tag team matches, different rule sets for different match-ups, color commentary from a couple announcers, rounds that end in returning to your corner and getting patched up from a coach/manager, and hopefully even a card girl or two. The Super Ramp Championship Federation is going to kick street league right in the solar plexus and then bang it over the head with a folding chair, knocking its truck back into correct "kingpin-in" alignment.)
Oh, and I stole those insoles out of a pair of the spitfire red chukka lows. The shoes themselves were beat to shit, but the insoles were pretty clean and I didn't wanna pass 'em up, or pay 8 bucks for kicks I'd just wind up tossing up on a line.
