  1. I just went down to my LSS and they gave me some griptape scraps. I put
    two peices on the crown, which helped my standup WW more than I could
    ever imagine, but I also put some on the tops of my cranks. The
    griptape on my cranks helped my seatwraps a whole lot also, because now
    I don't slip off. I recommend that everyone does this.

  2. Grool!(GReat+cOOL)As soon as I consider doing any of that stuff(which I
    will, I'm not sarcastic, I'm just a level one trying to be a level two
    at the time)

  3. it's "grood." Good and great.
    yeah...
    but i have some awesome scraps leftover from my longboard construction,
    so i'll try this, as i've been working on full wraps. I can only do
    halfs.

  4. I have had it on my cranks for a long time. It is nice for flatland
    stuff where you are on the cranks alot. It sucks when people like Evan
    borrow my uni and grind on it in the opposite crank position and tear
    up all my griptape.

  8. I had gripe tape on my crown, and after about one day of doing some
    standupww it came right off. Maybe Your a lot lighter than me though.

    What's a darkslide..?

  9. in skateboarding it's when you grind a rail but with th board
    upsidedown, so your grinding on the griptape. It's realy not good for
    the griptape.

  10. its just grinding on the same side as usual but with the cranks the
    opposite way.

    for example: i grind with my right crank in the back
    a dark slide would be the right crank in front...

    get me?
