I have been Fingerboarding for about 4 years now and a couple months back i decided to start working on a new company and team.  Tv Tape Fingerboarding.

Tv Tape is a tape company but it isnt just plain old tape. (see pictures)
I would like to get fellow fingerboarder feedback and if you would like to buy some you can at:
tvtapefingerboarding.bigcartel.com
for more info on the company you can watch the youtube video below:

sorry about the sideways image

I like the vx you put on the grip. I'm assuming this is just China tape with your logo on it?

I didnt buy the tape from china but it might be close to the same material

The VX tape is very cool!
Loving the stencil spray idea, it looks rad.

Yeah. And David Simpson did vx grip too.
And 4Corner even did that "deco" tape.
This isn't that original   Maybe coming up with some other stencils would be cool

It's a stencil, i agree it's kinda bad timing after jim made some within the last week, but then again, did you get mad at people who used skate grip and board rails on their cowply after john started doing it? This is what I hate now in the fb world. People complaining over stupid shit. Just my two cents

My thoughts exactly. Just fingerboard, and enjoy the ride. It will be over before you know it. :')

I think you took this a little too far.
For one, lots of people DO get mad at people for using skate grip and board rails on their cow plies after John started doing it. In fact, many people don't like when people do that because it shows no individuality, and a bunch of kids trying to be like John C. Also, none of those kids are trying to make money off of it. This guy is.
Second. We aren't complaining, we are just saying that it's very repetitive and we've seen it done before. Would you rather me patronize him and say "Oh I've never seen this before! This is revolutionary!"
EDIT: Sorry if I sound like a dick, I just reread what I wrote, and I sounded mad haha

I say do whatever the fuck you want.. Skate grip on cowply's or any deck for that matter is super fun and more of a challenge to use. People do certain things because they like the way it looks, its like anything. You could complain someone using brts isn't original because so many people use them and it'd be the same thing. Let people do what they want. If they like how skategrip looks let them use skategrip. People saying "oh, you're following that trend" and "be original" only make them feel down on themselves. Just let people be.

I'm not hating on those people, I'm just acknowledging that there are people who hate on people who do that cowply grip thing.

I think it goes along with the vx grip trend and people extended it to a whole different trend XD

Okay, I don't wanna hijack this thread anymore.
So filmdatish, here's my advice. Come up with an idea that people haven't seen before. Why should I buy your tape instead of anybody else's? Develop an idea that will make you stand out.
For example, I would think it's cool to see graffiti on grip tape. Or maybe some really cool designs.
That's my advice dude, good luck

I like the idea. I like the vibe of the stenciled grip, and I think with a few more designs this could be pretty cool. Most importantly however, is how the tape feels. Especially if the spraypaint, or whatever you use affects the feel too. Otherwise you've got my full support!

i wasnt mad at him or anything i was just saying
