i hate to admit it, but china tape is my tape of choice at the moment...i love how thin it is, you really feel the board. but it wears out too quick, and im getting fed up of having a 5 minute sesh, then having tiny black pieces from the tape all over my park.

ive not tried propaganda tape or slim and catchy, i will probably like those, but i just think they are pricey......when i can get 20 pieces of china for 5 bucks.

Ross, where do you get that china tape? i wanna try it lol

loads of people sell it.

many distributions re brand it and sell it as 'fapfapsuperfap' tape.

if you want it cheap you have to buy in bulk from china.

(which isn't always easy....but is if you can transfer money)

in all honesty though, the best tapes are tapes like propaganda and rip brought from somewhere like fingersized....OK you pay 5 pounds for 3 pieces, but its a decent tape which lasts. (unlike china tape)

Dunno why so many people don't like Riptape.

I've used it since I had my Berlinwood old mold in 2008 and it was the best tape ever.

I bought a Flatface complete in 2011 which came with some Riptape but it was much less porous and harder. I didn't really like this much but it's not terrible.

I also bought a pack of Riptape from Flatface in the same order, thankfully, it seemed to be the old stuff. It specifically said on the webstore that it was the old tape.

I then bought a pack of Riptape from Soldier Bar (Chinese distributor) this year. It seems different yet again but closer to the old stuff but with bigger pores. Takes a while to wear in like the old stuff and is alright.

can you link me to where you buy it?

http://www.fingersized.com/product/wide-trucks-setup-kit

here you can buy a set of trucks/wheels and a sheet of china tape for 2 pounds. bargain. (if you just wanted to try it like you said you did)

Thing is i do not need any trucks and wheels. I already have berlin wood with propaganda tape and good trucks/wheels.

Just wanted to try the tape by buying a lot of pieces for cheap as if it will be bad i could use it for non-sliders.
Thanks

I sell china tape pretty cheap.

China tape is great, it doesn't last long and doesn't perform as good as other tapes, but it's so cheap compared to buying Foamy J or Rip.

you must excuse my ignorance Mikkel, but i have never looked at your store before :oops:

ill get a deck from you for my collection once you have more in stock

thats a fair price for the tape/trucks also. good job!

No worries Ross, i guees the store will get a few more hits once i my own domain.

And thank you for the support!
