I have the same one...with foam. I've recently ridden a gripped one & it definately rode A LOT better though...So, I'd say go with the grip if you are unhappy with how it is riding right now.

wakeskate242, the gripped one that you rode, is it 05 or 06? yeah i'm definitely considering changing to grip. It's just sad to take off the foam. Confused

it was an 06. but the boards are EXACTLY the same except the grip and graphics. I know what you mean, i just don't have the time to grip mine right now. It's almost as if the foam is part of the board b/c it's so sticky. what I would do for a few hours of free time...

kejoz, what did you use to scrape off the left over glue or foam?

use a hair dryer to get the glue warm and then the foam will peel off easy, then use something like Goo-Gone and put it all over the top of the deck and then rub off the glue like rubbing off rubber cement off of a table at school when you're bored...

I already scraped off the foam and i pulled it down in one part. I'm off to a shop that sells neon green grip tapes. Twisted Evil
