PROPAGANDA MAKES TAPE?!?! link to the site to buy from please? swat.cz I don't know anywhere english to get it but I'm sure you can email them and ask to order and they'll sort it out for you, jan and the other people from swat are sooo nice and legit (I stayed with them for a few days in june, the shop is awesome!) I know everyone bums china tape, and if you like a non porous tape (fbs, foamy greatness, etc) then you'll probably like it, but propaganda tape is a weird mix of the two, and ridiculously nice to ride. way underrated and sooo good. not as cheap as some tapes, but worth the money imo. |

so what do you guys use? So judging by this, I would suggest Foamy J. It's great straight out of the package (doesn't need wearing in) and performs exceptionally good when it's new. The main issues I have with it are that the longevity of the tape is too short, it would last less than a month on a board that I wasn't using as a main setup (Shredding intensity may vary between fingerboarders). Also, as the tape wears away, little bits of tape crumble off and it gets all over the surface that you're skating on, making a mess and sticking to your wheels making rolling a bit bumpy until you take all the bits off but then more will get on it. The other suggestion I would make is: Wangster Tape. BrianC recommends this too and I got a piece from him when I bought my Pure deck. He's right, it's really smooth and not as grippy as most tapes so you'd probably love it. |

IM JUST SO TIRED OF RIPTAPE. THIS CRAP ISNT RIGHT. THIS IS HORRIBLE WTF IS THIS CRAPPY CRAP POO. 4c tape is so cheap it really wont put a hole in your pocket, 3 pieces for 5 dollars. Although yesterday it was 2 pieces for a dollar... I ordered like 8 sheets! |

| Well from the looks of it i did well buying the foamy j. i have a feeling its the same material as yellowood slimtape, because slimtape also has the crumbling sides. its fine though because i usually stock up on a lot of tape then change it every month or so anyway. yayy. |
