| Depends what you want!
Fbs is much smoother, and less porous. It feels much more rubbery than Rip.
Rip is much more porous, and feels more foamy than Fbs does.
Both great tapes! Rip takes slightly longer to wear in, but I personally prefer it! |

| I personally recommend getting propaganda tape for 3 reasons.
1) Propaganda tape is a mixture of Riptape and FBS.
2) Its at Fingersized right now and who would not want to support Kerry.
3) Everybody loves it. |

| Craft store foam is so legit........
It is all personal preference. I like FBS better, but you may like Rip better. Just pick one, and you will probably like it. |

| FBS, always lasts a long time. Also try Ace Tape if you haven't already. |
