Custom nonskid stickers

From the website:
Subhead Grip was founded by Jesse Milden. These products were inspired by years of riding skateboards and making custom grip tape designs.
Jesse grew up riding around the block in Los Angeles. He has continued riding in Oregon, New York, Boston and now Seattle.
Subhead Grip is designed and manufactured in Seattle, WA.
$12 a pack (12 skulls for example or 4 strips with whales) – why didn’t we think of that? The website says they do custom orders! Came across this on Boing Boing

I wish to retract my statement that Corey Webster’s griptape was cooler, I have literally seconds later been influenced by:

I’m hyped, but I’m a pretty big grip-geek.

i’ve been rocking that cubic grip for years, the 3D’ness of it gives more traction (even wet or dirty)
but paying for a custom grip job is the only way to be a bigger kook than doing your own custom grip

The arcade version of 720 is way better. The home version sucks.

yeah man, 720, i remember going on the bus to golfland with my bros and playing that almost all day. we finished it many times over and never got tired of it. i used to build those banked streets with legos for my fingerboards. gotta go, some bees are chasing me.

I’d love to see a clip of the 3d grip tape with someone that has one of those RED cameras that slows to 120fps. That would be amazing.

SKATE OR DIE
I’m probably the biggest nerd here, 720º factoid time! 720º was the first game to have it’s music from the game as a record album. Was one one of those paper thin sheets as a record, where you’d have to tape a penny to it so it wouldn’t slide around on your turn table.
I met the guy who composed some of the music for it at E3 back when it was hosted in Atlanta back in the late 90’s when I was doing entertainment software.
Unfortunately MAME plays 720º great, but without that joystick cocked at a 45º angle, forget it. Not the same.

The joystick makes all the difference for sure.

Played 720 at Cal Skate with my kids last week. I haven’t played it since the the Holiday Havoc contest in 86. “Skate or Die” man.
