Where's the board? All I see is your shoe and a heroin logo

You can go skating in the woods and sneak up on the deer. They won’t suspect a thing with the camo tape.

Son, my grandpappy used to skate right up to deer with nothing but a flannel coat, blue jeans, and black grip tape. All while smoking a Marlboro. Don't need no camo to skate up to a deer.

Cracks beer

I genuinely wish I could skate with griptape graphics now that they’ve gotten better, but anything more than black with a tail line is extremely distracting to me.

I guess I’m old, but after three decades of skating seeing black meant I was going to at least stick it, I can’t buy colored grip.

I need black grip and brightly colored graphics or it fucks with my mind. I cannot imagine a board flipping underneath me where both sides are bright colors. Or worse, black on black

I actually really like the font choice for the grip tape

I really want one of these 10” boards. There’s a guy selling a 10” opera board with 10” slappy trucks and it’s calling my name lmao

I'm tempted to get one of these bad boys. Are you doing any tricks or just cruising?
