I like both, foam is my fav... just becuase after a set I usually have a scrape or cut somewhere... I got a nasty one on my leg from a late night set... next year I will be riding a foam most likely, since ive changed my mind on the skate im getting

I also ride foam and like it because it doesn't mess up shoes

EvanPark, are any of the 05' LF models come with grip? I'm to lazy to look myself.

seriously the only foam ive ever riding and not minded was the k39 but a few days later i rode one with grip on it and it was sooooo much better, i personally dont mind a few griptape burns inorder to have the grip that it does. i sk8 and it just carries over i guess

i rode foam all year on my old skate and loved it but know i ride a integ and i love that, i think its just personal preference but i like grip alot now, even though i destroyed my ankle with it 2 days ago on a inside out indy shuv gone wrong "i forgot the indy" Embarassed

of course it is all personal prefrence but its good to see wat others are doing because maybe some1s personal prefrence is hindering their riding.

when i ride grip it gives me a much more skate feel and alot more sensativity when pulling tricks.
