Friday T&A on S&A: Candy Grip
From the promo shot above you might guess that Candy Grip is the name of an adult film star, but it’s the name of a color changing grip tape product trying to get funded through Kickstarter. It’s not temperature sensitive, but dependent on the angle of the light hitting it in relation to the viewer, like some of those funky paint jobs on cars. The effect is subtle, or at least their photos and videos don’t capture it too well. “Candy” is noticeably absent in the videos except as a poster frame, so you need to head on over to Flickr to see more of her. Speaking of the videos, I’m not sure what’s going on with the soundtrack, like an iPad commercial gone horribly wrong.
this commercial has transmitted perfectly the feeling of disappointment you get when you finally get something that looked bright, exciting, and awesome in tv ads but actually when you have it in your hands is dull looking and unexciting.
I had a friend in college that coined the term “homogayosity”. It seems a fitting word for everything about this. The Kickstarter thing was the icing on the cake. Go into debt like everyone else, asshole.
looks like an younger,fatter version of SHIT TALKING BRENT.
It’s not green, it’s blue.
there’s this stuff called cement dust that changes my grip tape color
DUDEs a tool. a fuckin’ river? polo shirt? back me? money? world wide phenomenom? fuck… man, shut up and skate. I don’t want naked chick buisness men or frat boys selling me sjkate shit. Give me skaters or get outta my face. Leave Porn to Porn and money talk to Mr. Ramsey.
Hey, rivers are good… and though not the optimum for bikinis, she’s got good bedroom skintone (ivory’s gone out of fashion with the demise of romantic poetry, but, still looks great nekkid)… but, yeah, the actual product should probably be called Saltwater Taffy Grip.
Also, I find that stepping in dogshit before skating makes this extra-gratuitous.
This line sez it all.
“locating factories overseas to produce Candy Grip in order to bring the cost down, create mass distribution, ”
Go fuck yourself.
Succinct and yet poetic.
WINNER: wes CHAOS!
top secret formula of dirt, sweat, ramp dust, and blood has been changing grip color for decades. if it ain’t broke…
That chick looks like she just gave birth before the photo shoot. Yuck.
That grip is lame, but the chick is plenty hot.
By the way, you’re like me, and we’re a bunch of skateboarders who smell like BO, cheap beer, leftover pizza, bongwater, and/or public transport.
Most of you would bang that girl in a hot minute, especially if she bought you a beer, laughed at your jokes and said you make her feel safe.
Yes.
The chick is nice , any 1 know what her porn name is?? Defiently agree with what ur saying there fitz , apart from the feeling safe part!
