Can you put grip tape over the foam if its cut out to concave?

the only problem i see is with the grip sticking(or lack there of), but you can always crazy glue or something. But in my opinion it actually sounds like a really good idea, you can get the nice loose but firm grip feel of the grip tape, but the cushion and give of the foam

do eet, you can always take it off Smash

just take the foam off with a dryer or somthing, your asking to put grip on top of foam right? Bad idea.

you could try to at least just the center of the foam top out so that the grip could stick to wood there. or maybe you could get creative and glue some other object down onto the wood to make your own concave, but that would prolly come out pretty haggard.

if you really want grip instead of foam, i would just get a new board, its not worth it

Gnarly Dancer 42, you seem like one of those kids with more money than brains.

The board is just a cheap faction and i will cut the center out to make concave. If it doesn't work i'll just re grip! Wink

I wouldn't grip over foam, no way. One or the other, or do it Catalyst style!

provin1327, cuz a job at 14 means time spent working and not skating...side jobs are where its at like baby sitting so u can do it at night when u cant work

the only problem with babysittin is that its usually on a fri or sat night.

I think i'll look into a skate next year. Maybe catch a good deal from someone wanting an 08. It just depends how much skating ill do next year. I also know a guy who has an older integrity. Maybe i can work something out with him.
