| Yeh just wondering, I setup a deck with grip and it is very grippy, about the same as foam tape, ALS o why do you like it better ? (Foam or grip) |

| I do, because it looks way more realistic and it is so much cheaper. |

| I know Trent uses grip a lot. I personally don't because I like foam. |

| I use it quite a bit, it kinda depends. Just takes some getting used to, but getting a whole sheet for so so cheap is awesome. It really does look realistic too, and provides a less cushioned feel. |

Just takes some getting used to, but getting a whole sheet for so so cheap is awesome. It really does look realistic too, and provides a less cushioned feel. I want to see a skateboard sized sheet of foam so we can just buy that and cut it out. Also skate grip doesn't really hurt and you can easily make it have a cushioned feel by putting the grip on some thin foam and then slap on the skate grip and apply to your deck as normal. Although in hindsight if you really want a cushioned feel, you might as well go with foam tape. |

| I've not used it for years but I used too all the time. Always slapped a red piece on my boards back in the day! |

| I remember when i got my first sheet of foam tape, i took it off because my friend told me foam tape was dumb. I used skate grip for a while before i switched to foam tape. I could probably still use grip tape, but foam tape is much better in my opinion. |
