awsome, i have a 42 danny hampson. i rode my 04 asym then rode my new bi-level and it was a whole new feeling. my ollies changed to more skate style and instead of my tail sinking into the water when poppin an ollie i stayed on top of the water. its way fun. and not really diffrent on rails

-Kento911- I never seen a karma, or heard of them, or ran into them on the internet, lol, do you like foam grip or griptape better?

I like grip, but laziness prevensts me from changing my Karma or my Gate over lol

i thought so, i was gonna get a foam grip, it just seemed more "right" at the time but the store guy told me after rubber gets wet it gets way less grippy

nah not really in my experience, its just not as good for pop or flick tricks it steals a little bit of your energy because its so soft

NoPidy · Backside 180 Joined: 21 Apr 2005 Posts: 534 City: Glenwood

that makes sense, for a while i was thinkin "why the crud would they make wakeskates with foam grip when griptape is probly cheaper and more people like it"

grip burn hurts, especially noobs in bare feet lol
